Download or read book Higher Ground written by Carolyn S. Briggs and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2011-09-16 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A riveting memoir of one woman's immersion into fundamentalist faith, and her decision twenty years later to leave it all behind. Beautifully written and powerfully told, this memoir is a fascinating look at the nature of faith, and the inspiring story of one woman's struggle to find her place in the world. Originally published as This Dark World, this book has been adapted into the screenplay Higher Ground, now a film directed by and starring Vera Farmiga. Carolyn Briggs grew up with modest means in the Iowa Heartland. Pregnant at seventeen and married to her musician boyfriend, by the age of eighteen she found herself with little hope for the future. Until an unexpected encounter with the Divine. Soon she had immersed herself into a close-knit and patriarchal New Testament church. But as Carolyn began to realize that her religion left little room for what she wanted out of life-as a mother, as a wife, as an intellectually curious woman-cracks began to appear in her all-encompassing sense of faith, and slowly she began to question the religion that had given her hope.

Download or read book Wading Right In written by Catherine Owen Koning and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-08-09 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where can you find mosses that change landscapes, salamanders with algae in their skin, and carnivorous plants containing whole ecosystems in their furled leaves? Where can you find swamp-trompers, wildlife watchers, marsh managers, and mud-mad scientists? In wetlands, those complex habitats that play such vital ecological roles. In Wading Right In, Catherine Owen Koning and Sharon M. Ashworth take us on a journey into wetlands through stories from the people who wade in the muck. Traveling alongside scientists, explorers, and kids with waders and nets, the authors uncover the inextricably entwined relationships between the water flows, natural chemistry, soils, flora, and fauna of our floodplain forests, fens, bogs, marshes, and mires. Tales of mighty efforts to protect rare orchids, restore salt marshes, and preserve sedge meadows become portals through which we visit major wetland types and discover their secrets, while also learning critical ecological lessons. The United States still loses wetlands at a rate of 13,800 acres per year. Such loss diminishes the water quality of our rivers and lakes, depletes our capacity for flood control, reduces our ability to mitigate climate change, and further impoverishes our biodiversity. Koning and Ashworth’s stories captivate the imagination and inspire the emotional and intellectual connections we need to commit to protecting these magical and mysterious places.

Book excerpt: "In 1860, Captain Garrett Fitzwilliam is living in the center of American politics, viewing the divisive issues of the day through his nonpartisan lawyer eyes. His life is defined by love of country and faith in the rule of law--until Rachael Hayes Kendrick enters his world. This sassy young widow captures more than the cocky captain's imagination. She proves to him that love is indeed an act of faith, and Rachael's faith in Garrett is indomitable. Her faith will sustain him when war divides the North and the South; his misguided sense of duty may cost him her love. But for what exactly did he pay so high a price? In the wake of war, everything Garrett believes in, the core of his existence, is collapsing. The Union army suffers repeated defeats not owing entirely to the brilliance of Robert E. Lee's command of the Confederate army, and in Washington, a very different enemy has emerged. This insidious enemy poses a threat to the United States that Garrett never thought possible. But this enemy no officer may dare to challenge. So how will Garrett Fitzwilliam defend his country when his country's survival depends upon an army sabotaged by its own incompetence? Or was his country lost when the man who swore an oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution imprisoned his political foes? Would the answers matter so much to Garrett if Rachael loved him again?"--Back cover

Book excerpt: Often people avoid poetry because they believe it must be “difficult” to be any good, or worse, that they are not equipped, in whatever fashion, to “decode” and understand it. Rubbish. Read these poems easily. Don’t worry about what they are “supposed” to mean. Have faith in your unique impressions of them—your individual interpretation, where the sum is greater than the words, where, every once in a while, you transcend this finite language and, if only for a moment, say “Ah!” David Alan Hall From His Introduction
Download or read book Oolie and the Fox written by Paul Breer and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-09-26 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I found inspiration for this tale in the inexhaustible curiosity and imagination of my four-year old neighbor. After sharing with her countless stories about the clipart characters found on my computer, I took her as my model for Oolie, the little girl who discovers a wise and caring fox living in the trunk of a front yard beech tree. Through a telescope high in the tree Oolie and the fox bear witness to a gathering storm of epic proportions which pits the bright forces of the world (wizards, flying horses, Vikings, Valkryies) against those with more sinister intentions (dragons, sea serpents, giant mosquitos and monsters of every hue). Their front row seat on this unfolding drama is not without its price, however, as they in turn become the target of the losers wrath. Lightning strikes the tree and the fox is forced from his home as Oolie looks on in horror. In time the two are reunited ..... but things will never be the same again.

Book excerpt: Cro-Magnons were the first fully modern Europeans--not only the creators of the stunning cave paintings at Lascaux and elsewhere, but the most adaptable and technologically inventive people that had yet lived on earth. The prolonged encounter between theCro-Magnons and the archaic Neanderthals, between 45,000 and 30,000 years ago, was one of the defining moments of history. The Neanderthals survived for some 15,000 years in the face of the newcomers, but were finally pushed aside by the Cro-Magnons' vastly superior intellectual abilities and cutting-edge technologies. What do we know about this remarkable takeover? Who were these first modern Europeans and what were they like? How did they manage to thrive in such an extreme environment? And what legacydid they leave behind them after the cold millennia? This is the story of a little known, yet seminal, chapter of human experience.--From publisher description.
