Download or read book Beyond the War on Invasive Species written by Tao Orion and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2015-06-17 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invasive species are everywhere, from forests and prairies to mountaintops and river mouths. Their rampant nature and sheer numbers appear to overtake fragile native species and forever change the ecosystems that they depend on. Concerns that invasive species represent significant threats to global biodiversity and ecological integrity permeate conversations from schoolrooms to board rooms, and concerned citizens grapple with how to rapidly and efficiently manage their populations. These worries have culminated in an ongoing “war on invasive species,” where the arsenal is stocked with bulldozers, chainsaws, and herbicides put to the task of their immediate eradication. In Hawaii, mangrove trees (Avicennia spp.) are sprayed with glyphosate and left to decompose on the sandy shorelines where they grow, and in Washington, helicopters apply the herbicide Imazapyr to smooth cordgrass (Spartina alterniflora) growing in estuaries. The “war on invasive species” is in full swing, but given the scope of such potentially dangerous and ecologically degrading eradication practices, it is necessary to question the very nature of the battle. Beyond the War on Invasive Species offers a much-needed alternative perspective on invasive species and the best practices for their management based on a holistic, permaculture-inspired framework. Utilizing the latest research and thinking on the changing nature of ecological systems, Beyond the War on Invasive Species closely examines the factors that are largely missing from the common conceptions of invasive species, including how the colliding effects of climate change, habitat destruction, and changes in land use and management contribute to their proliferation. There is more to the story of invasive species than is commonly conceived, and Beyond the War on Invasive Species offers ways of understanding their presence and ecosystem effects in order to make more ecologically responsible choices in land restoration and biodiversity conservation that address the root of the invasion phenomenon. The choices we make on a daily basis—the ways we procure food, shelter, water, medicine, and transportation—are the major drivers of contemporary changes in ecosystem structure and function; therefore, deep and long-lasting ecological restoration outcomes will come not just from eliminating invasive species, but through conscientious redesign of these production systems.

Download or read book Orion s Highway Across The Galaxy written by Charles E. Anzalone and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-08-17 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book, titled Orion’s Highway Across the Galaxy, is about an alien from a distant planet assigned to help mankind by making specific individuals in the past become famous. His name is Enoch and he is a distant cousin of the human race. Gifted with certain skills, he is able to help Nostradamus, Mozart, and Dr. Christiaan Barnard gain the recognition that they richly deserved. The following is a quote from Enoch as he summarizes his life: Nostradamus, Mozart, and Dr. Barnard — all these men with different personalities were the ones that I helped in the corresponding years 1513, 1756, and 1962. Mozart lived for only thirty-five years because of the drugs he received as a baby causing his brain to deform. For every bad thing, there is a good thing: his contribution was the brilliance of his music that he left for society. When I recall the three Earthlings that I guided toward recognition, I concede that their beginnings were apt to be shadowy. So it is with great men trying to find their beginnings with their inner skills that are undeveloped. Most critics, then and now, still debate the success of their accomplishments with doubt and jealousy, and yet, wishing that they could achieve fame themselves. The plain and inescapable truth is that these men struggled with a desire that motivated them, and in the absence of eyewitnesses, no one was there to see me rally them on. I gave them inspiration and the ability to meet their goals. — Enoch, II With a life span of twelve hundred years, Enoch is capable of accomplishing many goals set forth by his superiors. The only goal that he cannot successfully complete is to make a decision to marry Beena, the red-haired beauty whom he loves, or to marry Brianna, the beautiful blond that had his child out of wedlock. During Enoch’s multiple visits to planet Earth, he discovers the mysteries of the universe. The following is one of Enoch’s discoveries: Traveling at Warp 5, we crossed the barrier that separates the two spiral sectors in our galaxy, called the Milky Way. Beyond the stream of neutrinos on the other side of the barrier, I could see the multicolored beacons that our radar illuminated on the monitor screen. The green rings and yellow dots in a circular pattern outlined the entrance to Orion’s Highway, a pathway that led to planet Earth. My assignment was to help an individual on Earth to become historically famous — an individual whose artistic music skills would calm the soul and quench the fires of war within the hearts of men! The individual was my distant cousin, and I was about to become my Brother’s Keeper. — Enoch, II The story line unravels universal mysteries about the feasibility of space flight at warp speeds, a decoding of the Bible that shows when the Great Flood occurred, and the purpose

Book excerpt: A Riveting Tale of Faith and Romance by an Acclaimed Novelist Hannah Sunderland felt content in her embrace of the Quaker faith ...until her twin brother ran off and joined the army and ended up captured and in jail. Suddenly Hannah's world turns on end. She longs to bring her brother some measure of comfort in the squalid, frigid prison where he remains. But the Quakers believe they are not to take sides, not to take up arms. Can she sit by and do nothing while he suffers? Jeremiah Jones has an enormous task before him. Responsibility for a spy ring is now his, and he desperately needs access to the men in prison, whom they are seeking to free. A possible solution is to garner a pass for Hannah. But while she is fine to the eye, she holds only disdain for him--and agreeing would mean disobeying those she loves and abandoning a bedrock of her faith. With skill and sensitivity, Mitchell tells a story of two unlikely heroes seeking God's voice, finding the courage to act, and discovering the powerful embrace of love.
