Don't Kill Me
Author: Ramani Ranjan Khuntia
Publisher: Notion Press
ISBN: 1637454880
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 82
Book Description
Don’t Kill Me contains adventures of life-risking confrontations with animals. Stories of how the young generation, during their school and college period, take revenge on people for a very small incident and how that small incident escalates to a big-bloody episode with many losing their lives. In some instances, young people tried dangerous and life-risking activities to prove their potential. There are untold stories of birds and how they bond with human beings, how one lovely couple is being separated by society in the name of caste, how people are so cruel to animals, and how they are slowly, gradually yet prominently killing them. An account of how ancient people lived in miserable conditions – the experience of life in bullock carts and wooden boats. Stories that narrate how the bonds between people and animals are just like with our families – the tale of why crocodiles do not attack wooden boats, how houses were built and completely ruined after fires and how people came together to help one another during calamities.

Languages : en
Pages : 176
Book Description
Eleven-year-old Sarah Stewart goes on a "vision quest" to discover her power to prevent the development of a desert canyon in the Southwest. With the aid of a Native-American guide, Sarah takes photographs (actually Doolittle's watercolor paintings) that she hopes will help save Magic Canyon. But in spite of her fascinating photos, the city council votes against purchasing the canyon as a wilderness land trust. When a national news magazine prepares a story about the girl and the vision quest, it discovers that the photos can be combined to create a breathtaking portrait of Mother Earth. When that picture appears on the magazine's cover, there is a national outpouring of support for saving Magic Canyon and other endangered wilderness. Part coming-of-age, part camouflage riddle, this is a book about the sacred circle of life and the preservation of the natural world that supports us.
