Robert Manning (died c.1338) was a Gilbertine monk from Lincolnshire whose early English verse writings make him a notable forerunner of Chaucer. The first part of his Chronicle or Story of England translates into Middle English rhymed couplets Geoffrey of Monmouth's fabulous Latin history, as retold in the Roman de Brut of Wace, with some additions from Bede. Manning's express purpose is to let the people know which of their kings 'were fools and which were wise'. Beginning with the genealogy of the earliest British kings, he traces the arrival of the Trojan Brutus on British soil, tells of the battles of Arthur and concludes with the death of Cadwaladr in 682. Published as part of a two-volume set in 1887, Volume 1 takes the narrative up to Arthur's time and includes an introduction and modern English side-notes by the scholar Frederick James Furnivall (1825-1910).

America's National Heritage Areas
A Guide to the Nation's New Kind of National Park

There are fifty-five National Heritage Areas scattered across the US and they continue to grow in number and diversity. Though they’re not officially national parks, their conservation, education, and recreation related objectives echo those of the national parks: to conserve nationally significant natural and cultural landscapes and to make them available to the public for purposes of education, recreation, and sustainable tourism-related economic development. But the methods of achieving these objectives are different—very different—than those used in the national parks. While both national parks and NHAs are established by Congress, national parks are conventionally large areas of public land that are owned and managed by the National Park Service (NPS). NHAs take a more inclusive, partnership-based approach to their work; they offer local citizens, government at all levels, non-profit organizations, and private sector enterprises the opportunity to define, celebrate and conserve the natural, historic, cultural, scenic and recreational resources that have been vital in shaping their identity and destiny. NHAs are composed primarily of private lands; they’re living landscapes where participants reside, work and play. Each chapter in this guidebook describes the remarkable natural and cultural resources that define NHAs and highlights nearby visitor attractions, enticing readers to visit NHAs and to enjoy and appreciate the attractions offered.

As the popularity of the national parks grows, so do the challenges of visiting and managing them. This innovative book uses crowdsourcing - postings by park visitors on a range of social media sites - to start 100 conversations on issues associated with visiting and managing the national parks. The authors then use their experience and expertise to prepare short, plainspoken, and engaging essays that respond to the postings and complete the conversations. The book is written for park visitors, managers, and students. The authors are university professors who teach the history, philosophy, and management of national parks, conduct long-term programs of research for the National Park Service, and have spent years working and living in the national parks. This inventive, thoughtful, and inviting book addresses a wide range of national park-related issues, guides readers on how to more effectively plan and conduct their national park visits, informs park planners and managers about what visitors think about the parks, introduces the latest scientific and professional information on park management, helps prepare students for careers in park management, and enhances public appreciation and protection of the national parks. Preservation of our national parks has always required an active engagement with the public. The authors take this to a new level by responding directly to the many questions and comments posed by visitors on social media with thoughtful and informative responses. Jonathan B. Jarvis, eighteenth Director of the National Park Service

”Den viktigaste talangen för en begåvad författare är en inbyggd, stötsäker, skitdetektor.” – Ernest Hemingway
En av det tjugonde århundradets mest inflytelserika litterära ikoner avslöjar mer av sig själv än någonsin tidigare i denna omfattande samling samtal från hela hans karriär. Här talar Hemingway ur hjärtat om kärlek, krig, berömmelse, fiske och om den lidelsefulla disciplin som drev hans skrivande framåt. Samtalen ger en fascinerande inblick i det liv och de verk som har behållit sitt grepp och sitt inflytande över generationer bokälskare, drömmare och äventyrare.
”Ernest … har en gnista av genialitet i sig som gör det möjligt för honom att klara av extraordinära saker med lätthet.” – F. SCOTT FITZGERALD
”En av de modigaste och bästa, med de hårdaste principer, den allra strängaste utövaren av författarhantverket, orubblig i sin hängivenhet till arbetet … Till de få som kände honom väl var han en nästan lika bra människa som böckerna han skrev. Han är inte död; ännu inte födda unga män och kvinnor med författardrömmar kommer att vederlägga att det ordet används om honom.” – WILLIAM FAULKNER
”Den mest enastående författaren sedan Shakespeare gick ur tiden … Alltid farlig. Alltid där med den där högern redo. Äkta vara.” – JOHN O’HARA
”Han åstadkom det som få konstnärer i vår tid, eller någon tid, lyckats med: den nästintill omöjliga bedriften att förkroppsliga sitt verks betydelse – som människa, i åsynen av världen och i den tid han levde i.” – TENNESEE WILLIAMS
RÖSTER OM BOKEN:
"Jag har alltid betraktat författare som pratar, eller ännu värre skriver, om sitt eget skrivande och läsande med skepsis. Det är tröttsamt med författare som har pretentionen att övertyga omgivningen om sin bildning. Det är därför jag med viss tveksamhet närmar mig Ernest Hemingway - den sista intervjun och andra konversationer. Fyra intervjuer senare, två från 1954 och två från 1958, vill jag tacka Sjösala förlag och översättaren Daniel Martinez för läsfesten." - ÅSA LINDERBORG, AFTONBLADET KULTUR
