The Iron Woman
''The Iron Woman'' is a science fiction novel by British writer Ted Hughes, published in 1993. It is a sequel to the 1968 novel ''The Iron Man (novel), The Iron Man''. Synopsis "The Iron Woman has come to take revenge on mankind for its thoughtless polluting of the seas, lakes and rivers," says the introduction to the novel. It references rudeness, in that the iron woman exacts her revenge on a seemingly ignorant/uncaring male community (in the waste disposal plant) for polluting the area in which she lives; however, the book is more of an attack on society for the oblivious ways in which for many decades, a vast number of habitats have been destroyed or are on the brink of annihilation or complete destruction or obliteration. Ted Hughes' novel is an attempt at getting people to be made aware of and respond to this. Story The main character, Lucy, finds the Iron Woman in a state of despair and covered in chemicals. After being cleaned (by Lucy), the Iron Woman takes her to s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ironman (surf Lifesaving)
The sport of Ironman was developed in 1964 in Australia by Valentine Trainor to combine the four main disciplines of surf lifesaving into a single race; swimming, board paddling, ski paddling and running. The sport should not be confused with Ironman triathlon. It is typically run as a single event as a part of a surf life saving carnival, although it can be run as a sport in its own right. Internationally it is sometimes called Oceanman. History After the creation of the Surf Lifesaving movement in 1907, members needed a way to stay fit and hone their skills in between patrols. Thus, in 1915, the first NSW Titles were held. These early titles held traditional events such as the boat race, march past, R&R and surf races. On a 1964 Australian tour of California, the competitors came across an event known as the 'Taplin', which involved a swim, ski, board legs, with running transitions. This became the ironman race. In 1966, it was first held at the Australian Championships at Cool ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
