Author: Gail Stoewer
Publisher: Xulon Press
ISBN: 1612154948
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 266
Book Description
Gail Stoewer was born and raised in San Diego, California. Her journey would travel thousands of miles, with no distance covered, until she found the exit to her true purpose and destiny. Gail's course was set by a deep, early love for God, and then a deeper doubt of Him as she circumvented her life as a human here on earth. Gail faced the battles of human existence, as all her identity and meaning were being stripped away. It became evident, during the battles, what the truth really was and it's significance. When her road was filled with potholes, detours and human discouragement, Gail discovered who was really in charge and the power they held to change her destiny.

Book Description
"Miss, do you really think we can all help? Even me?" - Tammy, 8 years old.

In this inspiring and practical handbook, bestselling children's author and Human Rights campaigner, Onjali Raúf, draws on her experiences working with women's rights organisations and refugee charities.

From remembering that we are all human beings and that we are all equal, to realising your worth and that nothing is ever done alone, this is Onjali's rallying call to every child that has ever felt hopeless. Because with a bit of compassion, a big dollop of hope and even the smallest act of kindness, change will come and together we can make things better. Hope is on the horizon; you just have to find it.

Category : Travel
Languages : en
Pages : 359
Book Description
ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: THE NEW YORK TIMES • NPR • THE GUARDIAN From pole to pole and across decades of lived experience, National Book Award-winning author Barry Lopez delivers his most far-ranging, yet personal, work to date. Horizon moves indelibly, immersively, through the author’s travels to six regions of the world: from Western Oregon to the High Arctic; from the Galápagos to the Kenyan desert; from Botany Bay in Australia to finally, unforgettably, the ice shelves of Antarctica. Along the way, Lopez probes the long history of humanity’s thirst for exploration, including the prehistoric peoples who trekked across Skraeling Island in northern Canada, the colonialists who plundered Central Africa, an enlightenment-era Englishman who sailed the Pacific, a Native American emissary who found his way into isolationist Japan, and today’s ecotourists in the tropics. And always, throughout his journeys to some of the hottest, coldest, and most desolate places on the globe, Lopez searches for meaning and purpose in a broken world.

The Emerald Horizon
Author: Cornelia F. Mutel
Publisher: University of Iowa Press
ISBN: 1587297477
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
In The Emerald Horizon, Cornelia Mutel combines lyrical writing with meticulous scientific research to portray the environmental past, present, and future of Iowa. In doing so, she ties all of Iowa's natural features into one comprehensive whole. Since so much of the tallgrass state has been transformed into an agricultural landscape, Mutel focuses on understanding today’s natural environment by understanding yesterday’s changes. After summarizing the geological, archaeological, and ecological features that shaped Iowa’s modern landscape, she recreates the once-wild native communities that existed prior to Euroamerican settlement. Next she examines the dramatic changes that overtook native plant and animal communities as Iowa’s prairies, woodlands, and wetlands were transformed. Finally she presents realistic techniques for restoring native species and ecological processes as well as a broad variety of ways in which Iowans can reconnect with the natural world. Throughout, in addition to the many illustrations commissioned for this book, she offers careful scientific exposition, a strong sense of respect for the land, and encouragement to protect the future by learning from the past. The “emerald prairie” that “gleamed and shone to the horizon’s edge,” as botanist Thomas Macbride described it in 1895, has vanished. Cornelia Mutel’s passionate dedication to restoring this damaged landscape—and by extension the transformed landscape of the entire Corn Belt—invigorates her blend of natural history and human history. Believing that citizens who are knowledgeable about native species, communities, and ecological processes will better care for them, she gives us hope—and sound suggestions—for the future.
