Tal combines his extensive inside knowledge with broad and thorough research to take the reader clearly through a complex fabric of personalities, organizations, and issues."—Stuart Schoenfeld, York University "This is truly an excellent book. It is the first treatment of the whole array of environmental issues in Israel, and in its historical context – an absolute necessity. Extremely well-written and in fact hard to put down, this book is useful on many levels, for United Nations Agencies and development officials, Israeli and Palestinian government officials, and environmentalists and teachers around the world."—Brock Evans, Executive Director, The Endangered Species Coalition and author of many articles and books on the politics of the environment "Pollution in a Promised Land is an innovative book, and an important one, by perhaps the most prominent environmental activist in Israel. Tal's approach is to take an "eagle's eye view" of his vast subject, now gliding far above, providing overview, now swooping down very close and, through interviews or anecdotes, describing his subject with great immediacy and in memorable detail."—Noah J. Efron, Bar Ilan University "Anyone who cares about the land of Israel should read Pollution in a Promised Land. It is critical to understanding the social, political, and scientific dimensions of the country's environmental challenges as well as the country's remarkable ecological achievements. Alon Tal is uniquely qualified to present this fascinating and dramatic environmental history."—Tzachi Hanegbi, Minister of the Environment, Israel

Download or read book The Story of Dragon Rider Tal on written by James Lee Allan "Tal'on" and published by Fulton Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2022-05-06 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “For the back cover” The Story of Dragon Rider Tal'on After I had died on Earth as a seventy-plus-year-old man, I was brought to Antaera as a twenty-year-old. My life changed drastically from that point on. Everything that I knew was gone, my family and friends, everything. The upside was that there were dragons to ride, and one wanted me to be his Rider. I had to go back to school as a seventy-plus-year-old. At least in my mind I was still seventy-plus even if I looked twenty. I had to learn a new world history and a new culture. I also had to learn a new way of life with new customs, with new rules, different laws, everything. After all, I was on a new world. As it turned out, I was going to be a strong mage in this world, so I also had to learn how to use my magic. My dragon had told me that he wanted me to buy some special horses. They were elven-bred and have magic. They know how they want for a Rider and will not let anyone else ride them. The Great Draycon the Red was the dragon that had sent Rider To'od to Earth to bring me back to Antaera to be his Rider. I was to be his second Rider. His first Rider had died two hundred seasons (years) ago. There was a war coming, but that was still a ways in the future yet, so we still had time to prepare for that war. Draycon had put out the call to war to all the riderless dragons on Antaera. He told them that they should pick a Hold and a new Rider and to start getting ready for this new war. Draycon had brought at least one hundred older dragons with him when he came to claim me as his new Rider. I hope that you enjoy this story. 2
