Download or read book The World Tilting Gospel written by Dan Phillips and published by Kregel Publications. This book was released on 2011-07-13 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first generation of Christians were not popular. They were ridiculed, persecuted, yet according to Acts 17:6–7, they “turned the world upside down.” As a result, their message was communicated louder and clearer than any message before or since. Even with today’s social medias, big-name celebrities, and shiny evangelism techniques that add glitz and glamour to the gospel, today’s Christians fail to communicate as effectively as the first followers of Christ. Simply put, the early church turned the world upside down, but today’s church has been turned upside down by the world.
Download or read book Earth Tilt Book II written by James D. Dailey and published by Wheatmark. This book was released on 2011-02 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three years have passed since the events of "Earth Tilt" shook our planet to its core, leaving modern civilization in ruins. Though many of the survivors have started to rebuild, most of the small communities scattered around the continent remain isolated from one another. With no way to communicate over long distances, JJ Darby, his wife, and others from Goldston set out on a long journey to find out what happened to their families back east. Their trek will bring them into contact with new friends ... and old enemies. About the Author James D. Dailey was born in Louisiana and raised on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi. He enlisted in the Marine Corps at the age of seventeen, serving first as a radio operator and eventually as communications chief. Upon retiring from the military, he worked for the National Park Service and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. James lives in Kingman, Arizona, with his wife, Marilyn. "Earth Tilt, Book II" is his third book.
Download or read book Seasons of Life written by Leon Kreitzman and published by Profile Books. This book was released on 2010-08-26 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The natural world is full of rhythms. How do birds know when to return to their nesting grounds? What effect do the seasons have on our wellbeing, and how does the season in which we are born affect our subsequent life chances? How did humans get the idea that there were seasons 50,000 years ago? Seasons of Life explains why the seasons occur, the impact of seasonal change and how organisms have evolved to anticipate these changes. For although we mask the effects of seasonal changes by warming our homes, lighting our nights, preserving foods and storing water, we cannot hide from them.
Download or read book The Long Thaw written by David Archer and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why a warmer climate may be humanity’s longest-lasting legacy The human impact on Earth's climate is often treated as a hundred-year issue lasting as far into the future as 2100, the year in which most climate projections cease. In The Long Thaw, David Archer, one of the world’s leading climatologists, reveals the hard truth that these changes in climate will be "locked in," essentially forever. If you think that global warming means slightly hotter weather and a modest rise in sea levels that will persist only so long as fossil fuels hold out (or until we decide to stop burning them), think again. In The Long Thaw, David Archer predicts that if we continue to emit carbon dioxide we may eventually cancel the next ice age and raise the oceans by 50 meters. A human-driven, planet-wide thaw has already begun, and will continue to impact Earth’s climate and sea level for hundreds of thousands of years. The great ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland may take more than a century to melt, and the overall change in sea level will be one hundred times what is forecast for 2100. By comparing the global warming projection for the next century to natural climate changes of the distant past, and then looking into the future far beyond the usual scientific and political horizon of the year 2100, Archer reveals the hard truths of the long-term climate forecast. Archer shows how just a few centuries of fossil-fuel use will cause not only a climate storm that will last a few hundred years, but dramatic climate changes that will last thousands. Carbon dioxide emitted today will be a problem for millennia. For the first time, humans have become major players in shaping the long-term climate. In fact, a planetwide thaw driven by humans has already begun. But despite the seriousness of the situation, Archer argues that it is still not too late to avert dangerous climate change--if humans can find a way to cooperate as never before. Revealing why carbon dioxide may be an even worse gamble in the long run than in the short, this compelling and critically important book brings the best long-term climate science to a general audience for the first time. With a new preface that discusses recent advances in climate science, and the impact on global warming and climate change, The Long Thaw shows that it is still not too late to avert dangerous climate change—if we can find a way to cooperate as never before.

Download or read book The Reasons for Seasons New Updated Edition written by Gail Gibbons and published by Holiday House. This book was released on 2019-05-14 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cold winters, hot summers--year after year the seasons repeat themselves. But what causes them? Why is there winter in the Southern Hemisphere at the same time there is summer in the Northern Hemisphere? In summertime, why is it still light out in the evening? With simple language appropriate for young readers, non-fiction master Gail Gibbons introduces young readers to the four seasons and explains why they change throughout the year. Newly revised and vetted by experts, this updated edition of The Reasons for Seasons introduces the solstices, the equinoxes, and the tilt in Earth's axis that causes them, and gives examples of what each season is like across the globe from pole to pole. Clear, simple diagrams of the earth's orbit are labeled with important vocabulary, explained and reinforced with accessible explanations. Fascinating and easy to understand, this is a perfect introduction to seasons, earth's orbit, and axial tilt. Different effects on different parts of the world are included, illustrating the difference in climate between the equator, the northern and southern hemispheres, and the polar regions.
Download or read book A NEW THEORY OF THE EARTH written by FASHI JIANG and published by American Academic Press. This book was released on 2017-07-10 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the simulation test, this book A NEW THEORY OF THE EARTH: THE ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION puts forward the New Theory of Solar System. It explains the origin of the rotation of the celestial body, the revolution, the rotation of Venus, the reverse of the comet's orbit, and explains the reasons why the Earth is tilted, Jupiter is upright, and Uranus lies in the orbit. The book puts forward a new theory of the Earth. The formation of the Earth was out of the solar system, the Sun captured the Earth, and then geological period came into the phanerozoic eon. The structure of the Earth is divided again with new methods. The simulation results show that the core is not in the center of the earth, and the speed of which is faster than that of the outer ring. The new theory also explains the formation of the earthquake and volcano. The book puts forward the theory of multiple causes of the crustal movement.

Download or read book Uranus written by Jay T. Bergstralh and published by University of Arizona Press. This book was released on 1991-09 with total page 1104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Uranus occupies a unique niche in the history of western thought; for while the planets from Mercury to Saturn had been known since pre-antiquity, Uranus was the first to be discovered, in 1781, through scientific investigation. Contemporary investigation of Uranus culminated in the Voyager 2 encounter in 1986. The results of that achievement, as well of concurrent research on the planet, are reviewed by 84 international authorities in this massive volume. Because Uranus' remoteness has prevented its being studied as intensively by earth-based observation as have other members of the solar system, most of what is known about the planet—its magnetic field and magnetosphere and satellites—were learned from the Voyager data, which is viewed here from a variety of perspectives. While the book is intended to serve as a comprehensive review, it also reports a substantial amount of original research results not previously published.
Download or read book Historical Eclipses and Earth s Rotation written by F. Richard Stephenson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-06-05 with total page 577 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended for geophysicists, astronomers (especially those with an interest in history), historians and orientalists. The culmination of many years of research, it discusses, in depth, ancient and medieval eclipse observations and their importance in studying Earth's past rotation. This was the first major book on this subject to appear in the last twenty years. The author has specialised in the interpretation of early astronomical records and their application to problems in modern astronomy for many years. The book contains an in-depth discussion of numerous eclipse records from Babylon, China, Europe and the Arab lands. Translations of almost every record studied are given. It is shown that although tides play a dominant long-term role in producing variations in Earth's rate of rotation - causing a gradual increase in the length of the day - there are significant, and variable non-tidal changes in opposition to the main trend.
Download or read book Earth Tilt Book IV written by James D. Dailey and published by Wheatmark, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-12-24 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Earth Tilt, Book IV: The Search for Brother Dennis, the world is recovering from massive disruption, but there's a long way to go for complete restoration. Susan Darby and her husband J.J. have come through the turmoil and adjusted to a new way of living in Paradise Valley, Virginia. But there's no electricity, no telephones or telegraph, and sporadic mail delivery comes by horse from across the altered landscape. When Susan receives a message that her brother, Dennis Kingsley, has been imprisoned on false charges and may face execution, she and J.J. embark on a rescue mission. Together they journey across a North America that has been thrown back into the conditions of the nineteenth century, depending on horse-drawn wagons and unreliable train service with passengers pressed into service as guards against bandits. Governments are fragmented, and town militias are not always available to keep the peace. It's nearly impossible to know who they can trust. As their supplies dwindle, finding Dennis proves more difficult than they ever imagined. Will they be successful in their quest? And if they are able to rescue him, can they persuade Dennis to return home, or will they join his rebellion?
