Merlin fields a wide range of questions from many curious mortals, and in so doing draws on his own vast knowledge as well as the expertise of many close friends, including Archimedes, Galileo, Einstein, and Santa. Merlin hasn't been stumped yet, responding to questions including: If aliens exploded our moon, what effect would it have on us? What are your thoughts on the theory that a star named Nemesis is circling our solar system and was responsible for killing off the dinosaurs? Is it true that if I leave a container on my roof for a period of time, I can actually collect space particles from outer space? Delightfully illustrated throughout, Just Visiting This Planet is a timeless book for lovers of the universe by one of its brightest lights.

Book excerpt: Reagan and Victoria are sure about two things in their future: they're going to be college roommates, and they're going to get out of Charytan, Kansas, together. But as they go on a series of college visits, the two begin to realize their visions of the future may not align, and as the secrets they've been keeping from the other slowly come to light, they learn they're not exactly the yin and yang they thought they were. Suddenly, neither one is sure what the next four years hold, or whether they'll be spending them together at all. Combining the unique settings of college visits with a cast that's diverse in race, ability, and socioeconomic class, Just Visiting touches upon the kinds of conversations we fear having with those closest to us, and why the strongest relationships can be the scariest. It also contains scenes that are rare but important in YA, about sexual agency, contraception/plan B, and relationships that neither last forever nor destroy the characters when they crumble

Download or read book Hogs Are Up written by Wes Jackson and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2021-03-12 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hogs Are Up: Stories of the Land, with Digressions reveals what makes Wes Jackson tick. What kind of lessons does he draw from his unique life experiences, and how do they shape his profoundly revolutionary worldview? Sometimes funny, sometimes wistful, always insightful, this volume demonstrates that when telling a good story, digressions can be the main point. Born during the Great Depression, Jackson tells stories of his youth on a diversified farm in the Kansas River Valley near Topeka, Kansas, culminating in more than forty years of leadership to radically transform agriculture, literally at its very roots. Wes Jackson draws deeply from the lessons learned from his experience dating from World War II to his work at The Land Institute to establish a new Natural Systems Agriculture. But this book is more than that. It includes an eclectic mix of thinkers and doers he’s met along the way. Wes Jackson is heavily influenced by the cultural legacy of grandparents, all four of whom were born before the Civil War began, and from his parents, who were born before 1900. He was born into a culture of crop diversity where animals and people were out in the fields and around. He saw the tractor arrive and the horses leave. After you read Hogs Are Up: Stories of the Land, with Digressions you may share his misgivings about what conventional thinkers see as “progress.” Jackson is constantly exploring the world around him and will engage anyone who can help him think about a discovery, an experiment, or recent insight. Jackson believes that our insights must go beyond the latest scholarly study and government report if we are to get the necessary interest for people to change. The stories and digressions he shares in Hogs Are Up are the fruit of a longtime effort to lay the agricultural and cultural foundation for a new worldview grounded in nature’s principles and located in rural communities able to survive through a new relationship of humanity to the ecosphere.

Download or read book Dances Naked written by Dani Haviland and published by Chill Out! Books. This book was released on 2011-05-10 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life was hard in the wilderness of 18th century America. Three strangers from diverse times and cultures overcome adversity and come together for survival, finding new versions of family and happiness in this gritty and sometimes humorous time travel story. Fed up with her domineering brother, Rachel and her infant son leave to find happiness with the Cherokee. Two more white folks unexpectedly join her new clan, causing confusion but also providing a novel solution to the one of tribe’s biggest problems: no food. 20th century-born Lord Martin Melbourne had received his master’s degree from Oxford but was also well-learned in folklore and the Tuatha De’ Danann legends. He knew that fairies weren’t pastel-colored, exaggerated flying insects—they were real entities with remarkable skills. They could move from one place to another easily—or from one time to another. He had studied The Letters, the centuries-old epistles written by the time traveler Evie to her 21st-century daughter, Leah. From these, he learned that a human, too, could move through time. He had done it himself, traveled back to 1781, and saved the life of his sons’ ancestor. Now he wanted to go back home to 2013. But he was lost in the wilds of North Carolina. He needed his new Cherokee friend to show him the way back to The Trees, the magnetic time portal between the centuries. But first, he’d have to wait until Red Shirt was done with him. Adventure, mystery, a tad of humor, a pinch or two of romance, and well-researched history in a soul-searching time travel novel. (Warning: some disturbing events are related in the story that might bother some readers. This is NOT a children's story)

Download or read book Re sizing Psychology in Public Policy and the Private Imagination written by Mark Furlong and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-07 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book interrogates the current reputation of Psychology, both as an industry and as part of the academy. It disputes Psychology's claim to be a science, questions its claims to effectiveness and examines relationships with other disciplines and fields. Just as Psychology's role in the design of addictive gaming machines has been underplayed so too has the conservative aspect of its regulation of normality and pathology. The discipline of Psychology affects our understanding of identity and subjectivity to position the self as amoral and disconnected. This book questions this assumption and, more generally, the received status of Psychology.
