Paperback. Zustand: Fair. A new town, a new school, a new start. That's what fourteen-year-old Gray Wilton believes as he chants, It's gonna be better, gonna be better here. But it doesn't take long for Gray to realize that nothing's going to change--there are bullies in every school, and he's always their punching bag. Their brutal words, physical abuse, and emotional torture escalate until Gray feels trapped in a world where he has no control, no support systems, and no way out--until the day he enters the halls of Greenford High School with his father's semiautomatic in hand.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Je tiefer der weiße Mann nach Afrika vordrang, desto schneller entwich das Leben aus den Steppen und dem Buschland. es verschwand in der unüberschaubaren Masse an Jagdtrophäen, Fellen und Kadavern.' - Peter BeardThe End of the Game ist eines der wichtigsten Bücher über Afrika und die verheerende Wirkung, die der Einzug der westlichen Zivilisation auf den Kontinent und seine Tierwelt hatte. Eine eindringliche und berührende Bild- und Textcollage, die das obszöne Massensterben Zehntausender von Elefanten, Nashörnern und Nilpferden in den Tiefebenen von Tsavo, Kenia, und später den Reservaten in Uganda in den 60er und 70er Jahren des letzten Jahrhunderts dokumentiert. Über zwei Jahrzehnte arbeitete Peter Beard an diesem, seinem wichtigsten und essentiellstem Werk, das seitdem immer wieder mit neuem Material aktualisiert wurde. Beards eigene Fotos und Schriften werden durch historische Aufnahmen und Zitate ergänzt, welche die Saga jener Entdecker, Forscher, Missionare und Großwildjäger erzählen, die auf der Suche nach Abenteuern und als 'Botschafter des Fortschritts' im Laufe des 20. Jahrhunderts das Gesicht Afrikas für immer entstellten: Theodore Roosevelt, Frederick Courteney Selous, Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen), Philip Percival, J. A. Hunter, Ernest Hemingway und J. H. Patterson. Diese Neuausgabe enthält ein Interview mit dem Naturschützer Dr. Esmond Bradley Martin sowie Essays aus früheren Ausgaben, wie die des renommierten Schriftstellers Paul Theroux und des Ökologen Dr. Richard M. Laws. Zum Nachwort hat außerdem der Agrarwissenschaftler Dr. Norman Borlaug beigetragen. Die hier angesprochenen Themen - die Entfremdung von der Natur, Überbevölkerung, Überlebensdruck sowie der Verlust des gesunden Menschenverstands - verdeutlichen uns einmal mehr die Gründe für die Bedrohung der Wildtiere des Kontinents - ein Phänomen, das nicht nur angesichts der drohenden Klimakatastrophe Parallelen zu aktuellen Problemen aufweist.…
