Book Description
She set out on a journey to find home, and ended up finding two. Which one will she choose?Anya Allen has always felt out of place on Earth and strangely felt more connected to the stars. Stargazing has been a life-long hobby for Anya but there is one constellation she favors above all others; Pleiades. As befuddling as this connection was, she still spent years convincing herself everyone felt just as lost in the world. But at 30-years-old, her strongest desire to belong takes her on a journey to discover who she really is and her true place in the Universe. As her online research awakens her introspective curiosity, she discovers truths about the star cluster that evokes a possibility she only vaguely suspected; she might not be from planet Earth. How can that be?Motivated to get answers, Anya seeks assistance from a duo of lightworkers, who introduce her to metaphysical travels that will shoot her to the one place she had only ever imagined. As her abilities to move between two worlds intensifies, so does a budding romantic bond with one person who knows and accepts her better than anyone, Sam. Suddenly, Earth was feeling like the home she had always yearned for.Their deepening love threatens to disrupt Anya's desires to visit a world unknown and find the place she truly belongs.Through a series of interstellar travels, Anya finally finds the home she has always longed for but which world is she actually destined to live in?

Raising Wild
Author: Michael P. Branch
Publisher: Shambhala Publications
ISBN: 1611804590
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
Finalist - Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Award Finalist - Association for the Study of Literature and the Environment Creative Book Award Finalist - Evans Biography and Handcart Award An ode the extreme landscape of Nevada's Great Basin Desert—its terrain, its wildlife, and how an intrepid father and two little girls have made the wilderness their home Combining natural history, humor, and personal narrative, Raising Wild is an intimate exploration of Nevada’s Great Basin Desert, the wild and extreme land of high desert caliche and juniper, of pronghorn antelope and mountain lions, where wildfires and snowstorms threaten in equal measure. Michael Branch “earned his whiskers” in the Great Basin Desert of northwestern Nevada, in the wild and extreme landscape where he lives off the grid with his wife and two curious little girls. Shifting between pastoral passages on the beauty found in the desert and humorous tales of the humility of being a father, Raising Wild offers an intimate portrait of a landscape where mountain lions and ground squirrels can threaten in equal measure. With Branch’s distinct lyricism and wit, this exceedingly barren landscape becomes a place resonant with the rattle of snakes, the plod of pronghorn antelope, and the rustle of juniper trees, a place that is teeming with energy, surprise, and an endless web of connections. Part memoir, part homage to an environment all-to-often brushed aside as inhospitable, Raising Wild offers an intergenerational approach to nature, family, and the forgotten language of wildness.

Exploring Ancient Skies
Author: David H. Kelley
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1441976248
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 622
Book Description
Exploring Ancient Skies brings together the methods of archaeology and the insights of modern astronomy to explore the science of astronomy as it was practiced in various cultures prior to the invention of the telescope. The book reviews an enormous and growing body of literature on the cultures of the ancient Mediterranean, the Far East, and the New World (particularly Mesoamerica), putting the ancient astronomical materials into their archaeological and cultural contexts. The authors begin with an overview of the field and proceed to essential aspects of naked-eye astronomy, followed by an examination of specific cultures. The book concludes by taking into account the purposes of ancient astronomy: astrology, navigation, calendar regulation, and (not least) the understanding of our place and role in the universe. Skies are recreated to display critical events as they would have appeared to ancient observers--events such as the supernova of 1054 A.D., the "lion horoscope," and the Star of Bethlehem. Exploring Ancient Skies provides a comprehensive overview of the relationships between astronomy and other areas of human investigation. It will be useful as a reference for scholars and as a text for students in both astronomy and archaeology, and will be of compelling interest to readers who seek a broad understanding of our collective intellectual history.
