Death of a Hornet and Other Cape Cod Essays
ISBN: 9781582431383 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Spanning more than 20 years, these essays record changes not only in the natural environment of Cape Cod but in the writer's own life. Death of a Hornet is one man's elegant rendering of Cape Cod, a sandy, scrub-oaked, tough, and vulnerable spit of land reaching out into the Atlantic Ocean. These stories are natural adventures that Finch's previous readers have come to expect, as well as longer meditations on the future of the Cape's fragile environment, on living in one place for a long time, and on the limitations of human sympathy.

For nearly a decade, Robert Finch traveled around the "edge of North America" -- the stunning yet seriously inhospitable island of Newfoundland. Here, he chronicles the people, geography, and wildlife of this remote and lovely place. In beautifully written essays, sketches, and stories, Finch roams from verdant valleys to the rocky cliffs of Cape Spear, from Sandy Cove to Squid Tickle, from the steep streets of historic St. John's to the moss-covered tundra of the southern coast. As he describes the land, he brings to life the island's diverse array of characters -- newcomers and old-timers,...

He writes about the challenges faced to become a computer scientist, about denials/promotions in a world that did everything to keep people of color from participating intellectually.

"Glass Ceiling" and the "Illusions of Inclusion" are degradations he encountered along the way in the racist world in which he strived. He also tells about the "good jobs," as people of color referred to them then.
