Our Big Home
Author: Linda Glaser
Publisher: Millbrook Press
ISBN: 0761384456
Category : Juvenile Nonfiction
Languages : en
Pages : 34
Book Description
Young children usually think of their home as the structure in which they live. In Our Big Home, the author and illustrator present a much larger vision of home as the planet Earth. Linda Glaser's beautiful poem is a wonderful way to gently lead children toward the all-important understanding of caring for our environment. In her lyrical, child-oriented style, she presents the idea that our big home is shared not only with all people but with all plants and animals as well. She shows that we share the air, the water, the soil, and other elements that affect and sustain all of us who live on Earth. Elisa Kleven's vibrant art enhances the concept as she takes young readers to an African plain, a Caribbean island, a South American mountain, and around the world to see people and animals reveling in the beauty and abundance of our shared home.

At Home on the Earth

Pages : 370
Book Description
"The physical earth is clearly under unprecedented siege—heated, toxified, scraped. But almost as if they were antibodies, the finest nature writers of any era have come forward to help in the fight. This anthology collects many of the most important, at their most eloquent. May it ring and echo and do some good!"—Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature "This is a stunning collection of vivid writing about landscapes and the people who inhabit them. The diverse narratives gathered here do more than describe hawks diving and twigs snapping, although the book has its share of moving accounts of the natural world. A concern to live responsibily in nature runs through this evocative anthology like a subterranean stream, and that moral impulse, together with the lively prose, makes this the best collection of nature writing I've seen."—Thomas A.

Tarraforming Earth

Publisher: iUniverse
ISBN: 1469752999
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 124
Book Description
An extraterrestrial civilization created human civilization and all other life on Earth. There was a time when mankind knew about these beings, but as religion and science took over the world, people forgot their true origins. Religion and science remain at odds, but they continue to work together to erase all knowledge of the extraterrestrials. The only thing that hints at the truth is the continued reports of unidentified flying objects and other unexplained phenomena. Join an electrical engineer as he draws upon his technical knowledge and broad understanding of the world to propose a theory that will change your life. He offers guidance on how to - evaluate the impact extraterrestrials had on early civilizations; - see through the inaccuracies of religion; - evaluate scientific theories. Relying on unsound theories to create new ones can lead to problems. While science and religion claim to have all the answers, neither one of them explains life on this planet. The truth is out there, and you can find it in Tarraforming Earth.

Book Description
Walter Masen A lead fighter pilot and his best friend walk into a space ship’s bar. If you think you can guess the punchline, you’d be wrong. Because that petite brunette who looks too delicate to defend herself from a couple of pushy thugs? She sends them out on stretchers—and I’m smitten. Lily Uribe is far more than just a pretty face. She is a Scorpion, one of an elite army of enhanced humans who once pried Earth from the iron grip of an alien race aptly named the “Uglies”—and are now regarded with suspicion by the very planet they saved. When we’re both assigned to be part of a mission to check a lush, green planet’s possibilities as a new Earth colony, I’m looking forward to finding to nice beach for an evening stroll with Lily. Until an alien fleet launches a surprise attack, leaving me a POW and Lily MIA. As the alien attacks grow increasingly intense, I’m beginning to wonder if Lily and I will get to have that first date. Or if Earth will ever find another place in the universe to call home. -------- A New Home Far from Earth is the first book in the exciting, funny, romantic adventure in the “Far from Earth” series. Features an ensemble cast, but it’s essentially Walter’s story. Walter and his friends’ adventures continue with book 2, A Deadly Journey Home, coming in July 2024, followed by book 3, A Wedding and a War, coming September 2024.
