Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Part travelogue, part hymn of praise, and part environmental primer, The Green Earth Challenge will change the way you view the planet, your faith, and your role as a steward of God's creation. Winnie Williams has been fortunate to see many of the world's natural wonders and offers a passionate, biblically-based argument for protecting and preserving our natural resources. She also describes our worldwide energy challenges and offers practical advice for reevaluating our personal, national, and global behavior. Reading The Green Earth Challenge will awaken your gratitude for nature's miracles and inspire your resolve to preserve them for future generations. "Winnie Williams makes "environmentalism" accessible to ordinary mortals. As a Christian, she sounds a seldom-heard moral and ethical note. As one of the best kinds of Baptists, she laces the text with biblical references, leaving personal interpretation to the reader. Seldom have I seen such good stewardship of rich experiences from world travels. It is not just name-dropping of places she has been but careful management of lessons learned and fresh perspectives appropriated. We can all learn from Winnie's stewardship of life's blessings." James M. Dunn Professor of Christianity and Public Policy Divinity School at Wake Forest University "Winnie Williams challenges us to take seriously our stewardship of God's good earth. Combining theological insights, current studies, and personal experience . . . she makes a significant contribution in calling us to live out our faith regarding our environment." Todd Wilson Retired minister of First Baptist Church, Clemson, South Carolina Winnie V. Williams is a retiredassociate professor from Southern Wesleyan University, Central, South Carolina. She received her undergraduate degree from Mississippi College and Master's degrees from New Orleans Theological Seminary and Clemson University.

Download or read book Green Earth written by Kim Stanley Robinson and published by Del Rey. This book was released on 2015-11-03 with total page 1090 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The landmark trilogy of cutting-edge science, international politics, and the real-life ramifications of climate change—updated and abridged into a single novel More than a decade ago, bestselling author Kim Stanley Robinson began a groundbreaking series of near-future eco-thrillers—Forty Signs of Rain, Fifty Degrees Below, and Sixty Days and Counting—that grew increasingly urgent and vital as global warming continued unchecked. Now, condensed into one volume and updated with the latest research, this sweeping trilogy gains new life as Green Earth, a chillingly realistic novel that plunges readers into great floods, a modern Ice Age, and the political fight for all our lives. The Arctic ice pack averaged thirty feet thick in midwinter when it was first measured in the 1950s. By the end of the century it was down to fifteen. One August the ice broke. The next year the breakup started in July. The third year it began in May. That was last year. It’s a muggy summer in Washington, D.C., as Senate environmental staffer Charlie Quibler and his scientist wife, Anna, work to call attention to the growing crisis of global warming. But as they fight to align the extraordinary march of modern technology with the awesome forces of nature, fate puts an unusual twist on their efforts—one that will pit science against politics in the heart of the coming storm. Praise for the Science in the Capital trilogy “Perhaps it’s no coincidence that one of our most visionary hard sci-fi writers is also a profoundly good nature writer—all the better to tell us what it is we have to lose.”—Los Angeles Times “An unforgettable demonstration of what can go wrong when an ecological balance is upset.”—The New York Times Book Review “Absorbing and convincing.”—Nature

Download or read book Travels in the Middle Land written by Ajahn Sucitto and published by Manhandle Press Limited. This book was released on 2014-08-31 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theravada monks of the forest tradition, such as those in the monasteries of Cittaviveka and Amaravati in the South East of England, (where the author has been based since 1979), remove themselves from all attachments: to place, to belongings and, most importantly, to states of mind. They spend much of their time isolated in forests, but they also wander from place to place to both support their own practice and let their example be known. In this book, the places the author travels through are both physical and spiritual; the poems present them as blending. In the author's view, living in the present moment means that where a body and mind meet this very earth there is a place of awakening, mystery and beauty. This book is offered free by the author, and the publishers warrant that they will make no profit from the sale of this work. Travels in the Middle Land has been placed here as a gift from Manhandle Press Limited and as such the contents are unabridged and unedited. Any cover charge is solely as a result of the printing and/or distribution companies' mode of operation, (where such apply).

Download or read book The Star You Steer by written by James McGonigal and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2000 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores Basil Bunting's continued reputation and influence in modern British poetry, and also the impact of a peculiarly 'Northern' inflection of Modernism (which Bunting largely defined) within the varieties of poetry being written in Britain today. The editors asked a variety of English, Scottish, Welsh and American poets and academics to reflect upon the themes, implications, impact or example of Bunting's work in the centenary year of his birth, looking back on the beginnings of Modernism at the start of the twentieth century into which he was born, or forward into the twenty-first century in which he continues to be read and learned from: a true poetic star to steer by. The resulting collection of fourteen new essays reveals the continued ability of Bunting's poetry both to delight and to challenge. Topics covered include the nature of influence; Celtic and Northumbrian contexts for the modern English long poem; prosodic patterns in early Bunting; Bunting as a reader of his own work; narrative sources in his poetry; the problem of patronage; his 'rueful masculinity'; women poets and Bunting; radical landscape poetry; his translations from the Persian Hafiz and the Roman Horace; economic and social tensions in his work; the poet as 'makar'; and a previously unpublished selection of his letters from the 1960s to the 1980s, commenting upon his own and others' poetry and on the political condition of Britain in those years. The collection will be of interest to teachers and readers of twentieth century English and American poetry, and to those exploring the processes of literary translation. Contributors include David Annwn, Richard Caddel, Roy Fisher, Victoria Forde, Harry Gilonis, Ian Gregson, Philip Hobsbaum, Parvin Loloi, James McGonigal, Richard Price, Glynn Pursglove, Harriet Tarlo, Gael Turnbull, and Jonathan Williams.
