Download or read book Crow Planet written by Lyanda Lynn Haupt and published by Hachette+ORM. This book was released on 2009-07-08 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are more crows now than ever. Their abundance is both an indicator of ecological imbalance and a generous opportunity to connect with the animal world. Crow Planet reminds us that we do not need to head to faraway places to encounter "nature." Rather, even in the suburbs and cities where we live we are surrounded by wild life such as crows, and through observing them we can enhance our appreciation of the world's natural order. Crow Planet richly weaves Haupt's own "crow stories" as well as scientific and scholarly research and the history and mythology of crows, culminating in a book that is sure to make readers see the world around them in a very different way.

Download or read book Weak Planet written by Wai Chee Dimock and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Exploring weakness and vulnerability from the origins of American literature to the present, she provocatively argues for ‘collateral resilience.’” —Viet Thanh Nguyen, Pulitzer Prize–winning author Vulnerability. We see it everywhere. In once permanent institutions. In runaway pandemics. In democracy itself. And most frighteningly, in ecosystems with no sustainable future. Against these large-scale hazards of climate change, what can literature teach us? This is the question Wai Chee Dimock asks in Weak Planet, proposing a way forward, inspired by works that survive through kinship with strangers and with the nonhuman world. Drawing on Native American studies, disability studies, and environmental humanities, Dimock shows how hope can be found not in heroic statements but in incremental and unspectacular teamwork. Reversing the usual focus on hegemonic institutions, she highlights instead incomplete gestures given an afterlife with the help of others. She looks at Louise Erdrich’s and Sherman Alexie’s user-amended captivity narratives; nontragic sequels to Moby-Dick by C. L. R. James, Frank Stella, and Amitav Ghosh; induced forms of Irishness in Henry James, Colm Tóibín, W. B. Yeats, and Gish Jen; and the experimentations afforded by a blurry Islam in works by Henri Matisse, James Joyce, Ezra Pound, and Langston Hughes. Celebrating literature’s durability as an assisted outcome, Weak Planet gives us new ways to think about our collective future. “Weak Planet invites us to reflect on the deep interconnections between two threatened extinctions: that of the humanities and that of a host of animal species (not least our own). The book is nothing short of a radical reorientation of literary history.” —Stephen Best, author of None Like Us: Blackness, Belonging, Aesthetic Life

Download or read book The Gravity Connection written by Robert Dean Burlison II and published by Robert Dean Burlison II. This book was released on with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once gravity is explained, it leads to (connects) the UFO. Do they exist based on can one be built? Further connections yield new physics theory. The ultimate connection explains thru science how God's existence is feasible and a scenario for Creation going back before the Big Bang and before Time. As an experiment in thought (because one cannot do the experiments in a lab), there are dead ends, but the general concepts are sound. Reviewed twice, the visible review by that guy who knows the author well is in fact by the author, me. The other review is in the from of the book which is NOT in the FREE PREview. All I will say is that, though much was over his education I had proved what I set out to prove. He is NOT stupid. In fact his email domain is @illinois.gov. The book was typed in 1989 but I lost Faith due to little me actually dealing with God. I copyrighted in 2007. NOW, circa 2017 so called Scientists are claiming to have proved God. They did not give one equation, diagram, engineering or scientific analogy (parable). They just added more circumstantial evidence of a "Creator" which common man did not know. So I tried to message the publisher and added another piece of circumstantial evidence. If God had provided 5% less mass of atmosphere the density at ground / Kitty Hawk level would NOT have allowed the Wright Brothers to succeed with minimal power. Yes birds would still be able to fly. So would modern jets and EVEN World War One aircraft. But NO. We would NOT be flying today because the Wright Brothers proved it impossible. I gave you the story from before TIME of God appearing gradually by vacuum genesis, refining His operation system to Windows 100 at which time He suddenly realized "I AM THAT I AM"...self realization....the Alpha beginning of TIME....the first "Mind" to keep track of time. However God knows that there is a reverse to vacuum genesis. TIME (eternity) is God's Lifespan but it may not be Forever. "I am the Alpha & Omega". My point" There are those who say "God id DEAD" Well that is very grave, but at least the believe enough to put flowers on His Grave. God's substance is actually particles of ether and I did not explain why Michelson Morley Experiment failed because the simple reason popped into my mind during a walk and i had no way to write it down. I forgot why. Ether particles are arranged to form larger particles of spirit, God's Spirit body. God in-turn, there being NOTHING else in space, used part of his spirit substance (His own body which is a sphere NOT in MAN'S Image but His own) To CREATE matter and energy, the Universe which is enclosed by His spherical being and finally LIFE +YOU. POINT. If God dies..the Omega...His spirit substance breaks down into just common ether of empty space. Hey WE ARE MADE OF STAR STUFF as Dr. Carl Sagan said. But God first made Stars ("Let there be Light") and also maintains their existence with His own body. OK not to spoon feed you, when God dies ALL disappears without a "POOF" because if God was never here we certainly were not. The History hard drive is erased. TIME again does not exist. Yes the + and - ether particles (I called then itties from "Ittie bittie spider) remain in space with the "true void" third particle between (Like the empty space between racked pool balls or in a crystal lattice.). The before and after pictures of the Alpha & Omega are identical, just blackness waiting for vacuum genesis of (step 1) a new God identical to the DEAD God which never was. My eBook is low priced considering the 5 years to write, condense by tossing much insight into the trash and package so logic comes full circle. Yet one man who was teaching himself physics contacted me and I have one "fan" in Brazil. For over a decade zero sales, not even the woman who said "If God exists, prove it with science". NOW, unlike thos elater comer scientists, I do not claim to have proved God exist, but only that it is FEASIBLE. But hey. You are mortal. I am pointing a gun between you eyes. It is FEASIBLE that a bullet might come out. So I still have Great Faith but had no hope after a frustrating decade sharing the Website like talking to the wall. However today my hope is back for both me and you. Google now has a way to list book genres and I listed over 80. Yes no matter your specialty, the book comes full circle. Set up dominoes in a big circle. Each domino is a piece of knowledge which may match one of your own. If you knock over (grasp) one domino anywhere around the circle the rest fall sequentially around the FULL CIRCLE so you are able to piece many of the dominoes together & know some of the Spiritual game plan. So how can a 260 page book address 80+ genres? From the book "Everything is related to EVERYTHING." Learn how God "sees" , takes the shape of a wise old man on a cloud or a burning bush when addressing select individuals. The book shows it as a square wave just as computer data is transmitted serially. God's communication medium is actually GRAVITY.which carried the information N times faster than radio at light speed. N = Infinity or instantaneous quantum leaps from point A to B. Data bit move thru our brains at the speed of light until reaching a nerve cell where the data bit must wait for a chemical reation (to avoid a computer race problem). Now scale this up to God's massive mind. Remember it is a sphere around that big thing called the UNIVERSE. In God's Mind light speed is replaced by those instantaneous leaps. I call these quantum s (different distances like 1, 10, 100, 1000 Parsecs) instantaneousness. Yes Light speed is used too, but as the slow chemical reaction before entering one of God's memory locations (nerve cells). God's thought flows around the sphere by instantaneousness. A slight warp of the sphere like one of our eye balls can focus God's vision on and point but He focuses INSIDE the ball rather than outside and in just one direction like our eyes. Hey, maybe i should charge more for this "about the book" and just give the actual book away free. So I will end by telling how I know my physics are correct. 3 times at different points during the writing I diagramed Einstein's Expansion-Contraction Gravity Wave. It is difficult to show except as a cross-section and that is why I used a common square wave as mentioned above. Also did Jesus have any medical education? His Fathe r, God had to send data of how He Created Man, what the sickness or deformity looked like because can "see" into you, down to the subatomic where gravity is generated. Also the square wave is just oscillating electricity. Can it not be rectified into DC power, the POWER and data to Heal sent simultaneously. But to Heal Jesus had to move human tissue or kill germs maybe by removing DNA. No it wass not really a square wave but a gravity wave because gravity CAN MOVE THINGS or jiggle a brain cell in Jesus to give a bit (or byte) of information.Before healing the blind man Jesus put mud in his eyes. Just matter to replace the damaged tissuess in the blind eyes. God also sent Jesus data on how to change the elements in mud into the elements needed for new eye tissue. No a MUD BOMB is not a good Nuclear Deterrence, but think about it. If Alchemy of any element were possible for Mankind to do would it not have blown the blind man's head off?

OH, to further help you grasp, that circle of dominoes is big while the individual domino is small. Lets saw God's huge "Library of Congress" has a locked door to each subject room. A door is big and hard to break thru. But the door lock is small and you could easily open the door if not for the locked lock. So, what is even smaller than that lock? The KEY. That is what my book is. KEY to the Universe and God being a Natural part. What is OUTSIDE the universe or sphere "Skull of the Universe, God" is beyond the scope of the book because bubble theory would anger those who say "there shall be no other God(s) than Me". Well there are because infinity keeps going beyond just "the " universe. Inside spheres such as the one right next to our god other life may have been created by that god. But it is no skin off my teeth because that god did not create me or you. The other gods way into infinity are other people's or beings' fathers, NOT our father God. It is beyond my tiny brain (yes tiny for God sent me insights for the book) to figure out if God speaks or can speak to His neighbor gods. I doubt it for standing in a crowd you can speak to those beside you but not to a person 15 feet away and hidden by other faces. Continuing, ".....no other god but ME for I am a jealous God". Wouldn't you be jealous if the government, employment statistics, candidates, military, entertainers considered you just a number, a percentage, just one vote, expendable grunt or fan? Hmmm. Do you wonder if God understands the feeling of being just a number in infinite number of other numbers? God Created us because He was lonely. Yes first came Angels but they I guess are more like yes men or the "pleasant" robot voice that answers the phone.

Download or read book Ancient Earth and the First Ancestors written by Ronald Lee Morton and published by Rockflower Press LLC. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In this sequel to the award winning "Talking Rocks" an earth scientist and an Ojibwe elder travel across Minnesota exploring the ancient rocks that make up a large part of that state. As the geologist describes how these rocks formed and brings to life the ancient worlds they created, the elder, through Native American stories, oral history, culture, and science illustrates how his people had an intimate understand of, and respect for, these ancient rocks and the land they gave shape to. Traveling from northeastern to southwestern Minnesota, some of the diverse topics they discuss are the nature of science, holistic geology, l mining, science and spirituality, and the legacy of the fur trade. Ancient Earth and the First Ancestors not only tells a fascinating story that spans billions of years, but is also a wonderful chronicle of two people from different cultural and scientific heritages learning to understand, appreciate, and see the value and importance in each other's way of viewing this land the planet we all call home."--Pub. desc.

Download or read book Life on Earth 2 volumes written by Niles Eldredge and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2002-12-17 with total page 810 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of nature's extraordinary biological diversity and the human activities that threaten it. Life on Earth: An Encyclopedia of Biodiversity, Ecology, and Evolution tackles the critical issue for humanity in the 21st century—our ever more menacing impact on the environment. This two-volume, illustrated set, edited by American Museum of Natural History curator Niles Eldredge, begins with biodiversity, the complex planetary web of life that has emerged through three billion years of evolution. How does it work? And why is its continued health critical to the planet and to ourselves? More than 50 top scholars examine every form of life from amoebae to elephants, from plankton to whales. But Life on Earth is more than a catalog of species. An A–Z survey explores the myriad ways humanity is diminishing that biodiversity, from industrialization to natural habitat destruction, from overpopulation in the developing world to an unsustainable consumer lifestyle in the West. Life on Earth is the essential reference work for anyone curious about our planet's extraordinary diversity of life and the unprecedented threats it faces.

Download or read book Loon Lessons written by James D. Paruk and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2021-06-29 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nature of the common loon, from biology to behavior, from one of the world’s foremost observers of the revered waterbird Even those who know the loon’s call might not recognize it as a tremolo, yodel, or wail, and may not understand what each call means, how it’s made, and why. And those who marvel at the loon’s diving prowess might wonder why this bird has such skill, or where loons go when they must leave northern lakes in winter. For these and so many other mysteries, Loon Lessons provides evolutionary and ecological explanations that are curious and compelling. Written by one of the world’s foremost experts on the subject, the book is a compendium of knowledge about the common loon and an engaging record of scientific sleuthing, documenting more than twenty-five years of research into the great northern diver. James D. Paruk has observed and compared loons from Washington and Saskatchewan to the coasts of California and Louisiana, from high elevation deserts in Nevada to mountain lakes in Maine. Drawing on his extensive experience, a wealth of data, and well-established scientific principles, he considers every aspect of the loon, from its plumage and anatomy to its breeding, migration, and wintering strategies. Here, in the first detailed scientific account of the common loon in more than thirty years, Paruk describes its biology in an accessible and entertaining style that affords a deeper understanding of this beautiful and mysterious bird’s natural history and annual life cycle.

Book excerpt: Noted nature writer Ted Williams invites readers along on a year-long immersion in the wild and fleeting moments of the natural world, from winter candy and spring quackers to summer’s scarlet farewell and autumn reveilles. This beautifully crafted collection of short, seasonal essays combines in-depth information with evocative descriptions of nature’s marvels and mysteries. Williams explains the weather conditions that bring out the brightest reds in autumn leaves, how hungry wolf spiders catch their prey, and why American goldfinches wait until late July or August to build their nests. In the tradition of Thoreau, Carson, and Leopold, Ted Williams’s writing stands as a testament to the delicate balance of nature’s resilience and fragility, and inspires readers to experience the natural world for themselves and to become advocates for protecting and preserving the amazing diversity and activity found there.

Download or read book Will Big Business Destroy Our Planet written by Peter Dauvergne and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2018-05-04 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walmart. Coca-Cola. BP. Toyota. The world economy runs on the profits of transnational corporations. Politicians need their backing. Non-profit organizations rely on their philanthropy. People look to their brands for meaning. And their power continues to rise. Can these companies, as so many are now hoping, provide the solutions to end the mounting global environmental crisis? Absolutely, the CEOs of big business are telling us: the commitment to corporate social responsibility will ensure it happens voluntarily. Peter Dauvergne challenges this claim, arguing instead that corporations are still doing far more to destroy than protect our planet. Trusting big business to lead sustainability is, he cautions, unwise — perhaps even catastrophic. Planetary sustainability will require reining in the power of big business, starting now.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One Man's Planet is a slightly off-centered geologist's introduction to how politics, pop-culture and the earth sciences mix it up every day in all of our lives. A humorous look at a myriad of issue that grace the news and drive political debates from local councils to international discourse. One Man’s Planet picks apart the rhetoric on all sides of these debates to look at how the science describes the issue, often to the nakedness of the opposing parties. Tackling topics like climate, energy, water, and hazards, Stephen Testa channels Beanie Babies, Mad Max, and Shakespeare among others to examine the latest scientific understanding of these issues. Author Stephen Testa weaves science, personalities, pop culture and politics into a very informative and entertaining tapestry on the planet today and the planet's tomorrow. Come tour the Earth with Testa as your guide!

Download or read book The President of Planet Earth written by David Wheatley and published by Carcanet Press Ltd. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for the 2018 Irish Times Poetry Now Award In his fifth collection of poems, David Wheatley twins his birthplace and his current home, Ireland and Scotland, to engage issues of globalism, identity, and language. He takes inspiration from the Russian Futurist poet Velimir Khlebnikov, self-nominated President of Planet Earth, who in a state of apocalyptic rapture envisioned a new world culture, its rise and its dramatic undoing. In The President of Planet Earth Wheatley brings an experimental sensibility to bear on questions of land and territory, channelling the messianic aspirations of modernism into subversive comedy. We move between Pictish pre-history, the imaginary South American nation of 'Oblivia', and post-independence referendum Scotland. Wheatley marries classical, Gaelic, Scots and continental traditions. He deploys several styles - prose poetry; concrete poetry; translations from Middle Irish, Latin and French; sestinas and sonnets in Scots - to heady effect. The President of Planet Earth refashions language and the world it shapes, devising a transformative poetics.
