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.

This is fun, self-published Oz fan-fiction by awarded Oz author Ron Baxley, Jr. who wrote this fan-fic as after-thoughts or "After-Th'Oz" to his more established Oz and Oz/Wonderland works from Maple Creek Press. It includes a brand new Oz/Wonderland novella based on Ron's and James C. Wallace II's Of Cabbages/Oz/Wonderland series, three brand new short stories that take place after Ron's _The Oz Omnibus of Talking City Tales_ (Maple Creek Press 2014), one bonus of a non-fiction article on some Munchkin actors from Ron's home-town, and a super hero story based on them.

ISBN: 1453599266
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 558
Book Description
Atlantis: Beloved Jewel is the third novel in the Atlantis trilogy begun in Atlantis: Precious Stone and continued in Atlantis: Cherished Gem. As the sequel terminated, the Atlanteans in their insular Lens had accidentally and prematurely propelled the themselves into the innovative Fifth Qabalistic World of Mazohir, thereby apparently having failed in their goal of inspiring the Terrans awareness of the existence of the Lens with its cache of immortalizing AurLplasm. Additionally, they had departed the Fourth World of Assiyah sans having transported the Physical Cosmos with them into the luminous eternal realm of Mazohir. Thus, the Magnum Opus from the Diamond Temple at Avalyn in Mazohir is necessarily concerned with reparations, end-time, and the Act of Allural. Radical alterations, however, are required of the Diamond Class Aspirants as the new term commences at the Temple, changes that shatter their esoteric associations and their romantic and erotic involvements. Lynci, Tym, and their classmates find their friendships and relationships changed drastically by the unsettling new order. Yet, despite the disruptions, the newly initiated Intermediate Adepts are required to perform ever more arcane Magick, both Ascendant and Descendant, in their efforts to manifest AuLs desires for his dual Creations.
