Download or read book Green Fields Forever written by Charles E. Little and published by . This book was released on 1987-02 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agriculture, the largest sector of the American economy, is of major importance to all citizens. "Conservation tillage" is a new style of agriculture that should affect both the ecology and economics of farming. It leaves the land relatively undisturbed; the plow is not used; soil dynamics is allowed to work; erosion is reduced. The author discusses pros and cons; he describes farmer scientists and farmer inventors. He depicts society, from the Bushman hunter-gatherers to the American victims of the "new agriculture depression." Finally, he observes that people are at a crossroads in affirming agriculture as a way of life: there is the possibility for ecological revitalization of the agriculture profession, the bases of society.

Download or read book Beautiful Dreamer written by Ron Shafer and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-03-11 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His treacherous machinations exposed during the live performance of Hamlet, the brilliant and cunning Abe Badoane seeks revenge on the innocent lovers, Jude Hepler and Cory Mohney. While the infuriated Abe inches his insidious plot forward, Jude and Cory desperately try to decode Cory's medication-induced riddle, which, mysteriously, is embedded with clues to their coming fate. Her riddle bears an uncanny parallel to Old Mary's haunting vision of the rose which, strangely, correlates to the major events of Cory and Jude's lives. Under spiritual conviction that they should help the psychologically tormented Abe, the lovers magnanimously devise a plan to rescue him, even as the monstrous Abe settles on his scheme, a catastrophic-and breath-stopping-cave-in that will destroy the lovers forever. During a dream, frail Old Mary comes to the shocking realization that the beautiful dreamer in the Stephen Foster Memorial Window is not sleeping but dead. Because her dreams bear a one-to-one correspondence to Cory's life, Old Mary, now knowing that Cory is in imminent danger, frantically tries to warn her of the impending danger. But when Old Mary collapses, Jude and Cory, still not warned, head to the mine...and their horrific fate. The resulting cave-in pummels the unsuspecting couple and throws Jude into a stream-of-conscious dream reverie. "Events swirled in my mind as I floated in a twilight zone between consciousness and unconsciousness." Are his sad ruminations of a post-life Cory truth or fiction? Does their ineffably beautiful love meet its tragic doom?

Book excerpt: A lively and provocative history of the contested landscapes where the majority of Americans now live. From rustic cottages reached by steamboat to big box stores at the exit ramps of eight-lane highways, Dolores Hayden defines seven eras of suburban development since 1820. An urban historian and architect, she portrays housewives and politicians as well as designers and builders making the decisions that have generated America’s diverse suburbs. Residents have sought home, nature, and community in suburbia. Developers have cherished different dreams, seeking profit from economies of scale and increased suburban densities, while lobbying local and federal government to reduce the risk of real estate speculation. Encompassing environmental controversies as well as the complexities of race, gender, and class, Hayden’s fascinating account will forever alter how we think about the communities we build and inhabit.
