Download or read book Key Environments Madagascar written by A. Jolly and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2016-01-22 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the forests of Madagascar, about nine-tenths of the plant and animal species are unique to the island. Their natural habitats range from true rainforest to the lunar landscape of the spiny desert, and the natural rock-gardens of the mountain tops. Madagascar is no oceanic island, but a fragment of continent a thousand miles long, wrenched loose from the side of Africa. In this Lost World, plants and animals have become a living museum of evolution. Aepornis, the largest bird which ever lived, became extinct on Madagascar in the last few hundred years. Many more Malagasy species are now following Aerpornis into extinction. This volume introduces Madagascar's unique fauna and flora to general readers - the first such handbook available in English, and the first book to combine articles by Malagasy, French, English and American scientists, writing in their own fields of expertise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling author of the classic Shannara epic, Terry Brooks, has proven himself one of the modern masters of fantasy, brilliantly creating breathtaking worlds of magic, adventure, and intrigue. Now, for the first time in one marvelous collector’s edition hardcover, here’s the complete trilogy of the Voyage of the Jerle Shannara: Ilse Witch, Antrax, and Morgawr. In these enchanting novels, a colorful contingent of characters takes to the skies aboard a magnificent airship–the Jerle Shannara–on a quest fraught with wonder and danger. Ilse Witch A half-drowned elf carries a map covered with cryptic symbols–and Walker Boh, the last of the Druids, has the skill to decipher them. But someone else understands the map’s significance: the ruthless Ilse Witch, who will stop at nothing to possess it–and the powerful magic it leads to. Antrax While in search of the elusive magic, Walker Boh is lured into a trap–caught in a dark maze beneath a ruined city, stalked by a hungry, unseen enemy. It is Antrax: a spirit that feeds off enchantment and traps the souls of men. Now the fate of the Four Lands hangs in the balance. Morgawr The intrepid heroes aboard the Jerle Shannara have reached their breaking point. A centuries-old sorcerer, the Morgawr, vows to find and control the fabled ancient books of magic–and he is an adversary of awesome might with a fleet of airships and a crew of walking dead men at his command. In The Voyage of the Jerle Shannara, Terry Brooks weaves together high adventure, vividly wrought characters, and a spellbinding world into an irresistible story of heroism and sacrifice, love and honor.

Download or read book Colour written by Rudolf Steiner and published by Rudolf Steiner Press. This book was released on 2013-04-03 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building on the achievements of Goethe in his Theory of Colour, Rudolf Steiner shows how colour affects us in many areas of life, including our health, our sense of well-being, and our feelings. Distinguishing between 'image' and 'lustre' colours, he lays the foundation, based on his spiritual-scientific research, for a practical technique of working with colour that leads to a new direction in artistic creativity. His many penetrating remarks on some of the great painters of the past are supplemented by a deep concern to see a cultural, spiritual renewal emerge in the present time. 'If you realize', he states, 'that art always has a relation to the spirit, you will understand that both in creating and appreciating it, art is something through which one enters the spiritual world.' This volume is the most comprehensive compilation of Rudolf Steiner's insights into the nature of colour, painting and artistic creation. It is an invaluable source of reference and study not only for artists and therapists but for anyone interested in gaining an appreciation of art as a revelation of spiritual realities.

Download or read book Hitler s Teutonic Knights written by Bruce Quarrie and published by Patrick Stephens. This book was released on 1987 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this sequel to his best selling, general introduction to the Waffen-SS, Hitler's samurai, Bruce Quarrie deals with the histories of each of the seven SS Panzer Divisions ... Within each chapter, the author describes how, where and why each unit was formed, who its commanders were, and in which campaigns and battles it participated. The book clearly shows why the SS armoured formations deserve the military appelation [i.e. appellation] 'elite', yet does not gloss over the fact that the Waffen-SS were guilty of atrocities only rivalled by those of the Russians and Japanese. Additionally, there is a useful chapter on the other SS divisions which were equipped with tanks, and appendices covering SS war photographers, the composition of a Panzer regiment, and SS divisional markings"--Jacket.
Download or read book Discernimento e lotta spirituale written by Miguel Angel Fiorito and published by Ancora. This book was released on 2024-05-21 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Negli Esercizi spirituali di sant'Ignazio di Loyola si possono distinguere due linee d'azione: una, la contemplazione dei grandi "temi" biblici, e l'altra, l'esperienza della varietà degli spiriti. Per guidarci in questa esperienza di discernimento dei diversi spiriti, sant'Ignazio ha scritto le sue Regole per il discernimento. Padre Fiorito vuole aiutarci nella conoscenza pratica di quelle che, secondo le parole di sant'Ignazio, «sono più tipiche della Prima settimana degli Esercizi», attraverso un dettagliato commento al testo ignaziano, esemplificato con testi di altri autori (sant'Antonio abate; santa Teresa di Gesù; sant'Agostino, ecc.). La lettura di quest'opera è quindi la migliore introduzione all'esperienza del discernimento degli spiriti, sia all'interno degli Esercizi sia al di fuori di essi, nella vita quotidiana. Discernimento spirituale è risolversi a vedere le impronte divine nei nostri lineamenti umani. E padre Fiorito, in quest'opera, non fa che riversare la sua lunga esperienza della dottrina ignaziana per offrirci una spiegazione precisa delle «regole per sentire e riconoscere in qualche modo le varie mozioni che si producono nell'anima» (Papa Francesco). In padre Fiorito oggi molti stanno riconoscendo un vero maestro di discernimento in un tempo nel quale la Chiesa sta insistendo molto – specialmente con il processo sinodale – a vivere questo discernimento, chiedendoci di farci guidare dalla consolazione, di discernere i linguaggi, di cercare e trovare la volontà di Dio nel cammino della comunità ecclesiale (Antonio Spadaro).
Download or read book Southern Cross written by Patricia Cornwell and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1999-12-01 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patricia Cornwell has a sixth sense about the men and women in blue. In Hornet's Nest, her page-turning novel about crime and police in Charlotte, North Carolina, Cornwell moved behind the badges of these real-life heroes to uncover flesh-and-blood characters who strode through her pages to reveal vulnerable, passionate, brave, sometimes doubting, always fascinating figures. In Southern Cross, Cornwell takes us even closer to the personal and professional lives of big-city police, in a story of corruption, scandal, and robberies that escalate to murder. This time, her setting is Richmond, Virginia, where Charlotte Police Chief Judy Hammer has been brought by an NIJ grant to clean up the police force. Reeling from the recent death of her husband, and resented by the police force, city manager, and mayor of Richmond, Hammer is joined by her deputy chief Virginia West and rookie Andy Brazil on the most difficult assignment of her career. In the face of overwhelming public scrutiny, the trio must bring truth, order, and sanity to a city in trouble.

Download or read book La Bella Figura written by Beppe Severgnini and published by Crown. This book was released on 2008-11-12 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Join the bestselling author of Ciao, America! on a lively tour of modern Italy that takes you behind the seductive face it puts on for visitors—la bella figura—and highlights its maddening, paradoxical true self You won’t need luggage for this hypothetical and hilarious trip into the hearts and minds of Beppe Severgnini’s fellow Italians. In fact, Beppe would prefer if you left behind the baggage his crafty and elegant countrymen have smuggled into your subconscious. To get to his Italia, you’ll need to forget about your idealized notions of Italy. Although La Bella Figura will take you to legendary cities and scenic regions, your real destinations are the places where Italians are at their best, worst, and most authentic: The highway: in America, a red light has only one possible interpretation—Stop! An Italian red light doesn’t warn or order you as much as provide an invitation for reflection. The airport: where Italians prove that one of their virtues (an appreciation for beauty) is really a vice. Who cares if the beautiful girls hawking cell phones in airport kiosks stick you with an outdated model? That’s the price of gazing upon perfection. The small town: which demonstrates the Italian genius for pleasant living: “a congenial barber . . . a well-stocked newsstand . . . professionally made coffee and a proper pizza; bell towers we can recognize in the distance, and people with a kind word and a smile for everyone.” The chaos of the roads, the anarchy of the office, the theatrical spirit of the hypermarkets, and garrulous train journeys; the sensory reassurance of a church and the importance of the beach; the solitude of the soccer stadium and the crowded Italian bedroom; the vertical fixations of the apartment building and the horizontal democracy of the eat-in kitchen. As you venture to these and many other locations rooted in the Italian psyche, you realize that Beppe has become your Dante and shown you a country that “has too much style to be hell” but is “too disorderly to be heaven.” Ten days, thirty places. From north to south. From food to politics. From saintliness to sexuality. This ironic, methodical, and sentimental examination will help you understand why Italy—as Beppe says—“can have you fuming and then purring in the space of a hundred meters or ten minutes.”

This is the most comprehensive overview available of his remarkable career.
