Download or read book Sermonettes from the Seashore written by Barry Blackstone and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Coming from this preacher's love of the seashore is a series of sermonettes he heard while walking along some of the world's sandy beaches. Stroll with this man as he shares his insights from days spent on seashores in the counties of Israel, India, Canada, and Australia, as well as the states of Alaska, California, Florida, New Jersey, and Maine. Listen with him as he hears surf and sea sermons, tide and tern tenets, beach and breeze benedictions, and sand and storm sermonettes. Look with him into the face of a coastal nor'easter; watch with him as sea creatures and shoreline birds play together along the sea edge; behold brilliant sunrises and amazing sunsets over distant shores with family and friends; and observe the rising and falling of the great tides, all events along a seashore that inspired these spiritual messages from the Almighty. So take off your shoes; let the sand fill the cracks between your toes; lift your eyes toward the sea; open your ears to the sound of the surf; and "be still, and know that I am God" (Ps 46:10). What does God want to say?

Download or read book The BC Coast Explorer Volume 1 written by John Kimantas and published by Wild Coast Publishing. This book was released on 2018-03-16 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some places in this world are still wild, remote and untouched. The outer coast of Vancouver island is one such remarkable place. Author and explorer John Kimantas takes you through this phenomenal stretch of coastline, both by foot and by water, in unparalleled detail. It includes the type of detail that made his first series of guide books, the Wild Coast series, the quintessential resource for information on the most remote locations on the BC coast. This is the heir to that series, updated to include changes such as the Maa-nulth Treaty, the initiatives of the BC Marine Trails Network and other political, environmental and social changes that are continuing to shape these lands. Through maps, photography and description, The BC Coast Explorer series provides the building blocks for the adventure of a lifetime. By foot or paddle, this volume will take you to places rarely seen and yet too beautiful to miss. Covered in detail, feature by feature, are north Vancouver Island and Cape Scott, Brooks Peninsula and all five West Coast Sounds: Quatsino, Kyuquot, Nootka, Clayoquot and Barkley sounds. Included are launches, points of interest, campsites and all the necessary details to get you there. The toughest part will be deciding where to go.
Download or read book Eye of the Storm written by Jacqueline Buckley, CD, BA and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2014 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For author Jacqueline Buckley, before September 2, 1998, life seemed normal. She had faced challenges, but things were basically good. But on that September day, when Swissair flight 111 crashed in Peggy’s Cove in Nova Scotia, her whole life changed. As a member of the Canadian Forces Dental Services stationed in Halifax, Nova Scotia, she was tasked with assisting dental officers in the dental forensic portion of the recovery, trying to identify the 229 victims through their dental remains. In Eye of the Storm, Buckley tells how this dramatically affected her life and triggered the onset of her post traumatic stress disorder. Based on her personal accounts and recollections, this memoir shares the challenges of living with PTSD for more than twelve years. A raw account of her own healing, observations, and understanding, Eye of the Storm not only tells Buckley’s story and her journey of how she weathered the storm and found her way home, but also presents strategies and suggestions for healing for others who face the same challenges.
Download or read book Basic Coastal Engineering written by Robert M. Sorensen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-09 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition (1997) of this text was a completely rewritten version of the original text Basic Coastal Engineering published in 1978. This third edition makes several corrections, improvements and additions to the second edition. Basic Coastal Engineering is an introductory text on wave mechanics and coastal processes along with fundamentals that underline the practice of coastal engineering. This book was written for a senior or first postgraduate course in coastal engineering. It is also suitable for self study by anyone having a basic engineering or physical science background. The level of coverage does not require a math or fluid mechanics background beyond that presented in a typical undergraduate civil or mechanical engineering curriculum. The material p- sented in this text is based on the author’s lecture notes from a one-semester course at Virginia Polytechnic Institute, Texas A&M University, and George Washington University, and a senior elective course at Lehigh University. The text contains examples to demonstrate the various analysis techniques that are presented and each chapter (except the first and last) has a collection of problems for the reader to solve that further demonstrate and expand upon the text material. Chapter 1 briefly describes the coastal environment and introduces the re- tively new field of coastal engineering. Chapter 2 describes the two-dimensional characteristics of surface waves and presents the small-amplitude wave theory to support this description.

Download or read book Quantification of Shoreline Meandering written by Charles Linwood Vincent and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rhythmic, shoreline topography, termed shoreline meandering was investigated along Hatteras Island, North Carolina, using historical aerial photography. Two types of meanders were distinguished on the basis of form geometry. The temporal and spatial variability of meandering along the island were quantified using spectral and multivariate techniques. The data suggested that a model of the beach cycle in the nearshore zone in which the occurrence of small meanders is a function of (1) storm-current velocity and nearshore slope and (2) a post-storm balance of onshore and offshore sand transport due to the presence of topography-forced nearshore circulation explains the observed characteristics of small, rhythmic meanders. Large meanders are explained as regions of severe storm erosion caused by wave convergence over long, offshore shoals. (Author).
Download or read book Beaches of the Western Australian Coast written by Andrew D. Short and published by Sydney University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beaches of the Western Australian Coast covers the Western Australian coast between Eucla and Roebuck Bay, and includes Rottnest Island. It begins with three chapters that provide a background to the physical nature and evolution of the Western Australian coast and its 2,051 mainland beach systems. Chapter one covers the geological evolution of the coast and the role climate, wave, tides and wind in shaping the present coast and beaches. Chapter two presents in more detail the 16 types of beach systems that occur along the Western Australian coast, and chapter three discusses the types of beach hazards along the coast and the role of Surf Lifesaving Western Australia in mitigating these hazards. Chapter four presents a description of each of the 2,051 mainland beaches, as well as 63 beaches on Rottnest Island. The description of each beach includes its name, location, physical characteristics, access and facilities, with specific comments on its surf zone character and physical hazards, and its suitability for swimming, surfing and fishing. Based on the physical hazards, all beaches are rated in terms of public safety and scaled from 1 (least hazardous) to 10 (most hazardous).
