Author: Charles Frode
Publisher: Lulu.com

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 168
Book Description
14 sinister disturbing gently cynical stories where reality is not good or bad, right or wrong, alive or dead. Everything is one thing without limits either in essence or in our feeble attempts to identify and delimit it with our wonderful words. The stories in this second collection present reality as the wonder of redemption and loss. Some stories are about couples, some not. Some are about an individual's personal existential challenge to survive. Some emerged from somewhere inside the author when he unlocked a hidden door. These fourteen stories embody aspects of the spiritual nature of reality, about the redemptive quality inherent in all human beings. Each story presents some kind of loss in the context of spiritual redemption; hope, ultimate hope, hope for self-redemption; and the inherent dignity of all living creatures. Let each story take you somewhere new where you can consider something about yourself, something about ourselves as humans. About the numinous quality of your own redemption and loss.

California Forests and Woodlands
Author: Verna R. Johnston
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 9780520202481
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
From majestic Redwoods to ancient Western Bristlecone Pines, California's trees have long inspired artists, poets, naturalists—and real estate developers. Verna Johnston's splendid book, illustrated with her superb color photographs and Carla Simmons's detailed black-and-white drawings, now offers an unparalleled view of the Golden State's world-renowned forests and woodlands. In clear, vivid prose, Johnston introduces each of the state's dominant forest types. She describes the unique characteristics of the trees and the interrelationships of the plants and animals living among them, and she analyzes how fire, flood, fungi, weather, soil, and humans have affected the forest ecology. The world of forest and woodland animals comes alive in these pages—the mating games, predation patterns, communal life, and the microscopic environment of invertebrates and fungi are all here. Johnston also presents a sobering view of the environmental hazards that threaten the state's trees: acid snow, ozone, blister rust, over-logging. Noting the interconnectedness of the diverse life forms within tree regions, she suggests possible answers to the problems currently plaguing these areas. Enriched by the observations of early naturalists and Johnston's many years of fieldwork, this is a book that will be welcomed by all who care about California's treasured forests and woodlands.
