   Folio Society (323) Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) Leslie_L.J. | Feb 22, 2017 |  She was ever so tall and had a blue face and had long white teeth and she ate people. She only went out when it was dark. My mum says, when she ground her teeth people could hear her in time to bolt their doors and keep well away from the one window. That's why we don't have a lot of big windows in Leicestershire cottages, she can't only get an arm inside. My mum says that's why we have the fire and chimney in the corner. The fire used to be on the earth floor once and people slept all round it until Black Annis grabbed the babies out the window. There wasn't any glass in that time. When Black Annis howled you could hear her five miles away and then even the poor folk in the huts fastened skins across the window and put witch-herbs above it to keep her away safe. A selection of traditional tales from England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and the Isle of Man, mostly collected in the 19th and early 20th century. The stories are divided into themes such as Fairies, Origins and Causes, Saints and Devils, and Enchantment, and each section has an introduction describing that type of story, where each one comes from and who collected it. The tale of Black Annis, for example, was told to the folklorist Ruth Tongue on Christmas Eve 1941, by a girl who had been evacuated from Leicester.

Modern agroindustry has made significant contributions to agricultural development. This anthology examines the dramatic transformation that the new technologies have helped bring about. India's experience in oilseed production illustrates why public subsidies can't work without private investment. One paper details how the Ghanaian government stabilized its cocoa markets and maintained high industry standards. The influence that supermarkets and the food processing and packaging industries wield over food producers and consumers is described in papers on marketing chains in Europe's food industry. Modern management techniques that speed agricultural development are described. Contributors to this collection explain how Cyprus expanded its potato markets, how Chile became a major fruit exporter, and how Taiwan developed a multi-billion-dollar aquaculture industry. The study reveals why technology and the changes it induces will become more complex, expensive, and competitive. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
