A man who appears to live an ordinary, inconspicuous life struggles against a tendency to walk backwards that puts glitches in his smooth trajectory. After leaving work early one afternoon without rhyme or reason, he begins walking in the opposite direction and plunges into the woods beside the highway. When he reaches the end of the forest, another one, invisible, begins. He wanders the Invisible Forest, discovering its depths, while its inhabitants tell him, "it doesn't exist."

Book Description
Take the walk with Haniel and Radi in this modern day fable as they discover their own wisdom. Perception is turned inside out, challenges become great gifts of initiation into an empowering life of bliss, surrender and love for all that happens."A deep, yet easily digested message once again - an intriguing progression, follow-up and companion book to Wildy Human. Invisible Forest is a visual and emotional feast of self-discovery. The author expertly uses allegory and fable to disarm, engage, then captivate the reader by leading him/her to believe that it's someone else's transformational story when, in fact, it's everyone's.Out of experience-programmed fear, so many never enter their self-created invisible forests. This book takes the reader on that journey to show them what's possible. And many are lost within the forest. This book will help them to re-find the path to their real home.We all know that our very reason for being is to accomplish this journey - from who we think we are, which we frequently allow to be heavily defined by past experience - to who we really are. Thus, each of us must pass through our individually, custom-tailored invisible forests, shedding our hard protective shells of delusion along the way, to return to and reunite with the source of existence.Christina Barnes has beautifully re-drawn and re-written the map for us, making it much easier to identify with and follow. Her book will inspire many more of us to cross the territory."Tom Peters Author: Karel The Lone Wolf Howls: When Love Confronts Oppressionhttps: //www.amazon.com/Karel-Lone-Wolf-Howls-Oppression-ebook/dp/B002UKOWKW/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Karel+the+lone+wolf+howls&qid=1559059777&s=gateway&sr=8-1

The Forest Unseen
Author: David George Haskell
Publisher: Penguin
ISBN: 0143122940
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the PEN/E.O. Wilson Literary Science Writing Award “Injects much-needed vibrancy into the stuffy world of nature writing.” —Outside, “The Outdoor Books That Shaped the Last Decade” The biologist and author of Sounds Wild and Broken combines elegant writing with scientific expertise to reveal the secret world hidden in a single square meter of old-growth forest In this wholly original book, biologist David Haskell uses a one-square-meter patch of old-growth Tennessee forest as a window onto the entire natural world. Visiting it almost daily for one year to trace nature's path through the seasons, he brings the forest and its inhabitants to vivid life. Each of this book's short chapters begins with a simple observation: a salamander scuttling across the leaf litter; the first blossom of spring wildflowers. From these, Haskell spins a brilliant web of biology and ecology, explaining the science that binds together the tiniest microbes and the largest mammals and describing the ecosystems that have cycled for thousands- sometimes millions-of years. Each visit to the forest presents a nature story in miniature as Haskell elegantly teases out the intricate relationships that order the creatures and plants that call it home. Written with remarkable grace and empathy, The Forest Unseen is a grand tour of nature in all its profundity. Haskell is a perfect guide into the world that exists beneath our feet and beyond our backyards.

Pages : 564
Book Description
Daughter of the Forest is a testimony to an incredible author's talent, a first novel and the beginning of a trilogy like no other: a mixture of history and fantasy, myth and magic, legend and love. Lord Colum of Sevenwaters is blessed with six sons: Liam, a natural leader; Diarmid, with his passion for adventure; twins Cormack and Conor, each with a different calling; rebellious Finbar, grown old before his time by his gift of the Sight; and the young, compassionate Padriac. But it is Sorcha, the seventh child and only daughter, who alone is destined to defend her family and protect her land from the Britons and the clan known as Northwoods. For her father has been bewitched, and her brothers bound by a spell that only Sorcha can lift. To reclaim the lives of her brothers, Sorcha leaves the only safe place she has ever known, and embarks on a journey filled with pain, loss, and terror. When she is kidnapped by enemy forces and taken to a foreign land, it seems that there will be no way for her to break the spell that condemns all that she loves. But magic knows no boundaries, and Sorcha will have to choose between the life she has always known and a love that comes only once. Juliet Marillier is a rare talent, a writer who can imbue her characters and her story with such warmth, such heart, that no reader can come away from her work untouched.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
WINNER of the 2022 Amazon First Novel Award WINNER of the 2022 Rakuten Kobo Emerging Writer Prize for Literary Fiction A graceful and indelible debut about love, grief, and family welcomes you into its pages and invites you to linger, staying with you long after you've closed its covers. How do you grieve, if your family doesn't talk about feelings? This is the question the unnamed protagonist of Ghost Forest considers after her father dies. One of the many Hong Kong "astronaut" fathers, he stayed in Hong Kong to work, while the rest of the family immigrated to Vancouver before the 1997 Handover, when the British returned sovereignty over Hong Kong to China. As she revisits memories of her father throughout the years, she struggles with unresolved questions and misunderstandings. Turning to her mother and grandmother for answers, she discovers her own life refracted brightly in theirs. Buoyant, heartbreaking, and unexpectedly funny, Ghost Forest is a slim novel that envelops the reader in joy and sorrow. Fung writes with a poetic and haunting voice, layering detail and abstraction, weaving memory and oral history to paint a moving portrait of a Chinese-Canadian astronaut family.
