Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1900s, major change had little effect in the outer fringes of civilization. Survival of the fittest still rules, and a boy of sixteen is now a man. Such a man retreats into the wilderness in hopes of finding answers to his future. He experiences the life in a harsh land where trust is earned, and each day presents its own set of hardships. There are no winners or losers here; but for this Christian man, he flaunts his faith without falter. He's been hurt, and like a wounded animal, not one to be trifled with. Skeptical of everyone, he carries a kind heart, a pair of Colt .45s, and a sled dog team, keen and rugged, he built for himself.

Download or read book Tomorrow s Economy written by Per Espen Stoknes and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2021-03-16 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How we can achieve healthy growth--more regenerative than destructive, restoring equity rather than exacerbating inequalities. In Tomorrow's Economy, Per Espen Stoknes reframes the hot-button issue of economic growth. Going beyond the usual dialectic of pro-growth versus anti-growth, Stoknes calls for healthy growth. Healthy economic growth is more regenerative than destructive, repairs problems rather than greenwashing them, and restores equity rather than exacerbating global inequalities. Stoknes--a psychologist, economist, climate strategy researcher, and green-tech entrepreneur--argues that we have the tools to achieve healthy growth, but our success depends on transformations in government practices and individual behavior. Stoknes provides a compass to guide us toward the mindset, mechanisms, and possibilities of healthy growth.

Download or read book Curious Exploits written by James A Magner MD and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2023-04-13 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Metzger is a German farmer who travels with his wife and eight children in 1846 to settle in mid-America. They are nearly trapped between the Mexican and United States armies in Texas. Based on actual events, the family travels from New Orleans up the Mississippi River by steamboat while gradually learning how to work and live in America where slavery exists in some states, multiple paper currencies circulate, opportunities abound, love beckons, and dangers lurk. The successes and challenges of three generations of the family in Illinois are chronicled (Martin, his son John, and his son Arthur), as national historical developments become entwined with events in the family. John is bright and draws the attention of prominent politicians, including Abraham Lincoln. John must decide how best to contribute to the Union’s war effort, and he becomes a wealthy businessman and co-founder and president of an insurance company. His son, Arthur, faces challenges growing up in the shadow of his illustrious father as he must navigate disruptive changes in the family and the Depression. In 1901, fifteen-year-old Eilish knows vital clues (left in the family Bible by her mother) to the location of a valuable treasure. Trusting no one, she must solve the clues to recover the treasure while avoiding violent criminals, resolving police suspicions about her, and completing her education at the University of Chicago. The saga of the Metzgers proves that truth may be stranger than fiction, while the tale of clever, kind Eilish illustrates the challenges faced by bright, young women in the first decade of the twentieth century.

Book excerpt: OBEY | CONFORM | CLIMB THE LADDER | PROSPER In the Conglomerate State of America, Upper Management rules. While the lowly chattel workers hum away in their cubicles looking productive. If Human Resources no longer considers a chattel useful, then they will be recycled and turned into enough power to light a one-bedroom apartment for less than fifteen minutes. Human Resources examines a technologically-advanced future where the corporate hierarchy is the new form of government, children are trained to be the next employees, the chattel working class is addicted to upgrades and ads created by those they labor for, and Human Resources enforces enterprise policy. Look around your cubicle. Most cubicle dwellers already experience the nightmare that will unfold in the pages that follow. You already dread a visit from Human Resources. Resign while you can

Download or read book Rees Howells Intercessor written by Norman Grubb and published by The Lutterworth Press. This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rees Howells was a man of little worldly fame, yet through Norman Grubb's best-selling biography, his life story is known to millions. Born in a Welsh mining village, he left school at twelve and worked in a tin mill and a coal mine. As he came to know the redeeming power of his Lord and Saviour he faced the implications of an entire surrender, learned to love the unlovely and found the key to the power of prayer. As a result he became a man of great Christian inspiration to others in both Britain and Southern Africa where he became the channel of a mighty revival. Norman Grubb describes all this, but also the foundation of the Bible College of Wales at Swansea, perhaps the greatest monument of his work, and the intercessory prayer that became the hallmark of Rees Howells, impacting as it did on national policy and international affairs. Rees Howells' life was so great that the Church of Christ still feels the impact of his truths of the Spirit and the Scriptures in a unique and amazing way. Every chapter in this biography is full of drama and light. Rees Howells: Intercessor is an enthralling story, told with simplicity, humanity and humour, and it has proved an inspiration for nearly half a century.

Download or read book Twelve Feet Up written by John Penteros and published by Green Sombrero Press, LLC. This book was released on 2020-07-21 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High school freshman Joe McKinnon loves pizza, hates public speaking, and has fallen hard for a girl. Pretty typical. Not so typical is Joe’s prosthetic leg, which he’s had since the car crash two years ago that killed his father and left him with a burning desire to rid the world of automobiles. The object of Joe’s affections, Jun Song, is a year behind Joe in school, yet way ahead of him in smarts. When Jun is brutally attacked on her way home one day, her already-protective mother shifts into overdrive, making it virtually impossible for Jun and Joe to see each other. But Joe’s into Jun in a big way, and he needs her ginormous brain to make his dream a reality. Giving up is not an option. Joe signs up for the “Science Team ExtreMe” competition, which, as luck would have it, is the perfect way to be with Jun while progressing his ideas for an automated, planet-wide monorail system. Joe enlists former enemy Praveen and new friends Sam and Zoey to begin the design until Jun comes on board and the work really gets started. Now the only things standing between Joe and his dream are Jun’s mom, team drama, PTSD, archaic competition rules, seemingly impossible feats of engineering, and a plague of self-doubts. No problem. Danielle Peterson is a graphic designer, orchestral flutist, and open/champion level Irish dancer who lives in Arizona.

Download or read book AP Alley written by Terry Yurick and published by LULU. This book was released on 2014 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 1960's the Military knew they needed to develop a new method of intelligence gathering in locating the enemy in the jungles of Vietnam. Early attempts at developing a mobile method of interception and location of radio transmissions failed. Some successes occurred prior to the mid-1960's, but there was no large scale plan on how to develop this into a major project to help win the war in Vietnam. Approval comes in 1966 and the project is named Phyllis Ann. The author becomes a part of this project as a mission leader in the winter of 1968. This novel is based on his experiences both in Pleiku Vietnam and Misawa Japan during some of the most turbulent times in our history. The taking of the Pueblo, Russian bombers testing our defenses, and the secret war in Laos were all historical events this young airman was involved in.

Nicholas' problems are further exacerbated when beautiful and talented local girl Jane Warrener tells him she has overheard talk of a conspiracy against the king.
