Comedy starring Steve Martin, Jack Black and Owen Wilson as three
men in different stages of life competing to become champion
birdwatchers. Stu (Martin) is a successful business executive on

As they travel the length and breadth of North America as
participants of the 'Big Year' competition, in which birders
compete to spot the greatest number of bird species in the United
States over the course of one year, the three men discover as much
about themselves and each other as they do about America's bird
population.

All 20 episodes from the sixth and final series of the hit comedy
drama series set in New York. In 'To Market, To Market', Carrie
(Sarah Jessica Parker) is getting so nervous about her date with
Berger (Ron Livingston) that she decides to go on a Sim-u-date to
calm her nerves. 'Great Sexpectations' sees Carrie realising that
the passion she and Berger feel for each other doesn't translate to
the bedroom. In 'The Perfect Present', Carrie is concerned by
Berger's hostile reaction to his ex-girlfriend's voicemail message.
In 'Pick-a-Little, Talk-a-Little', Berger reacts badly to Carrie's
jokey criticism of his new novel. In 'Lights, Camera,
Relationship', Carrie and Berger's relationship starts to look even
more fragile when Carrie gets a big advance for her book just as
Berger's option is dropped by his publisher. In 'Hop, Skip and a
Week', Berger and Carrie drift even further apart and he finally
dumps her - by Post-it note. In 'The Post-it Always Sticks Twice',
Carrie vows to her friends that she won't badmouth Berger - but
when she runs into some friends of his the temptation proves
irresistible. In 'The Catch', Charlotte (Kristin Davis) gets
married to Harry (Evan Handler). 'A Woman's Right to Shoes' finds
Carrie's new Manolos being stolen at her friend's baby shower. In
'Boy, Interrupted', Carrie runs into an old high school boyfriend,
who is in town to attend a local psychiatric facility. 'The Domino
Effect' sees Big (Chris Noth) back in town for an operation. In a
feverish delirium he opens up to Carrie - but on recovery becomes
his usual cool and closed-off self. In 'One', Carrie meets
Aleksandr Petrovsky (Mikhail Baryshnikov) at a hot new art
exhibition. In 'Let There Be Light', Carrie stays over at
Aleksandr's apartment and the two become an official item. In
'Catch-38', Aleksandr tells Carrie that he has a daughter in Paris,
and that he doesn't want any more children - leaving Carrie to
wonder if, at 38, she's willing to give up a man for a baby she may
or may not want to have. 'Out of the Frying Pan' sees Carrie
walking out on Aleksandr when, during a conversation about
Samantha's (Kim Cattrell) breast cancer, he mentions a friend of
his who died of the illness. In 'The Cold War', Carrie arranges for
her friends to meet Aleksandr, but he doesn't show up, and it turns
out he's anxious about his forthcoming exhibition in Paris. In
'Splat', Carrie accepts Aleksandr's offer to accompany him to
Paris. In 'An American Girl in Paris (Part Une)', Carrie, left to
her own devices on the streets of Paris while Aleksandr prepares
for his exhibition, is missing her friends and her life back home.
In the final episode, 'An American Girl in Paris (Part Deux)',
Carrie returns to New York and her friends with Big after he tracks
her down in Paris and they realise they are meant to be together.

Environments, landscapes, and ecological systems are often seen as
fundamental by archaeologists, but how they relate to society is
understood in very different ways. The chapters in this book take
environment, culture, and technology together. All have been the
focus of much attention; often one or other has been seen as the
starting point for analysis, but this volume argues that it is the
study of the inter-relationships between these three factors that
offers a way forward. The contributions to this book pick up
different strands within the tangled web of intersections between
environment, technology, and society, providing a series of case
studies which explore facets of this common theme in different
settings and circumstances and from different perspectives. As well
as addressing themes of theoretical and methodological interest,
these case studies draw on primary research dealing with time
periods from the late Pleistocene glacial maximum to the very
recent past, and involve societies of very different types. Running
through all the contributions, however, is a concern with the
archaeological record and the ways in which scales of observation
and availability of evidence affect the development of questions
and explanations. The diversity of the chapters in this volume
demonstrates the inherent weakness in any attempt to prioritise
environment, technology, or society. These three factors are all
embedded in any human activity, as change in one will result in
change in the others: social and technical changes alter relations
with the environment-and indeed the environment itself-and as
environmental change drives changes in society and technology. As
this book shows, it is possible to consider the relationship
between the three factors from different perspectives, but any
attempt to consider one or even two in isolation will mean that
valuable insights will be missed.
This volume includes over 700 extracts from Nineteenth Century
sources describing Victorian Aboriginal society. These observations
are cover many different topics ranging from Ceremonies to
Recreation, providing glimpses into a rich and complex world.
