Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. "Together, the words in this collection make triumphant and vital cacophony that add to their meditations on earth, air, fire and water a new element: life, and how to live it.Bathsheba Demuth, writer and environmental historian and author of Floating Coast: An Environmental History of the B…ering StraitAn Elemental Life, Volume 5 of the 5-Volume Elementals series, is a stunning collection of essays, poetry, and stories that illuminate the dynamic relationships between people and place, human and nonhuman life, mind and the material world, and the living energies that make all life possible.If the elements are kin to one another, then what does it mean to live in kinship with the elements? Asking this question encourages a perspective shift from interacting with the elementals to partaking in their being. The stories and poems in this volume bring the elements into conversation with one another in order to open awareness, heighten connection, and offer practices that can help us live more elementally. Welcome to An Elemental Life.The Elementals series explores how people from various cultures across the planet have worked with these powerful forces of change and regeneration to shape landscapes and deepen personal and place-based relationships. Contributors for An Elemental Life, Volume 5 include: Gavin Van Horn Bruce Jennings John Hausdoerffer David George Haskell Suzanne Kelly Marie Fuhrman Elizabeth J. Coleman Yakuta Poonawalla Leeanna T. Torres Sean Hill Liz Beachy Gomez Sophie Strand Matthew Olzmann Allison Adelle Hedge Coke David Macauley Joerg Rieger Brenda Hillman Carina Lyall Priyanka Kumar Heather SwanWith compelling stories and insightful reflections, An Elemental Life, Volume 5 reveals how people are working with, adapting to, and cocreating relational depth and ecological diversity by respectfully attending to the elemental forces that shape our everyday worlds.Proceeds from sales of Elementals benefit the nonprofit organization Center for Humans & Nature, home to a press and farm that explore in-depth and diverse perspectives about what it means to be human in an interconnected world.

Soft cover. Condición: Near Fine. 1st Edition. A very close to new copy. Traces the rise of small, entrepreneurial airlines that served isolated communities and tourist destinations across the country. It covers operators like Southern Scenic Air Services in Queenstown, Tourist Air Travel in Auckland, Amphibian Airways, Trans Is…land Airways, and Golden Coast Airways. These companies often flew amphibious planes, vintage aircraft, and light twin-engine models, adapting to rugged terrain and unpredictable weather. Waugh and his co-authors—Bruce Gavin, Peter Layne, and Graeme McConnell—combine technical detail with storytelling, highlighting the personalities behind the planes, including legendary pilots like Fred Ladd. The book includes maps, facsimiles, and colour and black-and-white photographs. It also documents notable incidents, such as the 1961 Aero Commander crash involving Captain Alf Bartlett, and includes appendices on surviving aircraft and specific models like the de Havilland DH89B Dominie.

Hard Covers. Condición: NF. No Jacket. 1st. Richard Waugh has made an important contribution to NZ aviation literature with a number of titles to his credit. For "Taking Off" he led a foursome of aviation ethusiasts and writers to produce this volume which has as its sub-titled "Pioneeering Small Airlines of New Zealand 1945-197…0." The book was published to mark the 100th anniversary of powered flight and dedicated to those who worked for the New Zealand pioneering postwar small airlines and "especially in memory of those pilots who lost their lives.". (The dedication names seven pilots.). In an introductory note to an acknowledgements list Richard Waugh says that "The stories of these small postwar airlines have been neglected in the written history of NZ aviation and mostly overlooked by social historians." There is no doubt that "Taking Off" has done much to correct this literary imbalance by recalling some familiear names, but more importantly by recording those of less well-known commercial aviation pioneers. The main text is presented in 11 chapters, each dealing with the larger and longer-lived postwar airline operators while a 12th chapter covers numerous "Other small airlines which flew (or almost) 1959-1970." Undoubtedly "Taking Off" filled a space in NZ aviation literature which was emptly for too long and it can be unreservedly recommended to any Kiwi aviation enthusiast. It will form a lasting tribute to the men of the small airlines and the aircraft they flew. This copy signed on the title page by Richard Waugh and his three co-authors. First edition of 2003, 228 pages including appendices of surviving aircraft from small airlines of 1945-1970, a history of DH Dominie ZK-BCP/VH BGP and "Air Crash Injustice" a review of controversial investigations of the crash of Bay of Plenty Airways Aero Commander in November 1961, followed by references and index, illustrated throughout with b/w photos plus a 25 image, centrally located, collection of colour photos, few maps and drawings, numerous document reproductions. Laminated hard covers are NF with colour photos to both boards, internally also NF. Signed by author and co-authors on title page. An immaculate copy of an excellent publication. Photos, Maps, Document Reproductions, Drawings (ilustrador). By the Authors.
