Download or read book The Footprints of My Life written by Doyle Harden and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2011-01-18 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of Harden’s life has been as a writer — a writer of facts in the news departments of radio, television and newspapers. “With all that factual writing, I thought what I was about to attempt would be vastly diffferent,” he said. “However, I learned otherwise. This book is also about facts — and the very life I’ve lived is certainly a fact.” After four years in the U.S. Air Force, his next step was into broadcasting. Trained as an annoucer, he later moved into the news departments and both wrote and voiced the news. During his long career, he also worked in television and as a newspaper writer/photographer. “Having written most of my adult life, I felt I could quickly and easily write of my family’s history”, Harden said, “but this was the most difi cult task I ever attempted. And, as it turned out, what I had written was more of an autobiography.” What’s next for Harden’s pencil? He says he wants to try writing fi ction. He plans to write a novel about a now-lost love of motorcycling. It will actually be an adventure/murder/suspense tale with a woman protagonist and he has already collected many pages of notes. Asked when the novel would be ready for readers, Harden smiled and said, “I can only say as mother’s have always told their children, “We’ll just have to wait and see”

Download or read book Smitten by Giraffe written by Anne Innis Dagg and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2016-10-01 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Anne Innis saw her first giraffe at the age of three, she was smitten. She knew she had to learn more about this marvellous animal. Twenty years later, now a trained zoologist, she set off alone to Africa to study the behaviour of giraffe in the wild. Subsequently, Jane Goodall and Dian Fossey would be driven by a similar devotion to study the behaviour of wild apes. In Smitten by Giraffe the noted feminist reflects on her scientific work as well as the leading role she has played in numerous activist campaigns. On returning home to Canada, Anne married physicist Ian Dagg, had three children, published a number of scientific papers, taught at several local universities, and in 1967 earned her PhD in biology at the University of Waterloo. Dagg was continually frustrated in her efforts to secure a position as a tenured professor despite her many publications and exemplary teaching record. Finally she opted instead to pursue her research as an independent “citizen scientist,” while working part-time as an academic advisor. Dagg would spend many years fighting against the marginalization of women in the arts and sciences. Boldly documenting widespread sexism in universities while also discussing Dagg’s involvement with important zoological topics such as homosexuality, infanticide, sociobiology, and taxonomy, Smitten by Giraffe offers an inside perspective on the workings of scientific research and debate, the history of academia, and the rise of second-wave feminism. A new preface relates Dagg’s experience as the subject of the documentary The Woman Who Loves Giraffes.

Download or read book Leave Only Footprints written by Conor Knighton and published by Crown. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A delightful sampler plate of our national parks, written with charisma and erudition.”—Nick Offerman, author of Paddle Your Own Canoe From CBS Sunday Morning correspondent Conor Knighton, a behind-the-scenery look at his year traveling to each of America's National Parks, discovering the most beautiful places and most interesting people our country has to offer NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY OUTSIDE When Conor Knighton set off to explore America's "best idea," he worried the whole thing could end up being his worst idea. A broken engagement and a broken heart had left him longing for a change of scenery, but the plan he'd cooked up in response had gone a bit overboard in that department: Over the course of a single year, Knighton would visit every national park in the country, from Acadia to Zion. In Leave Only Footprints, Knighton shares informative and entertaining dispatches from what turned out to be the road trip of a lifetime. Whether he's waking up early for a naked scrub in a historic bathhouse in Arkansas or staying up late to stargaze along our loneliest highway in Nevada, Knighton weaves together the type of stories you're not likely to find in any guidebook. Through his unique lens, America the Beautiful becomes America the Captivating, the Hilarious, and the Inspiring. Along the way, he identifies the threads that tie these wildly different places together—and that tie us to nature—and reveals how his trip ended up changing his views on everything from God and love to politics and technology. Filled with fascinating tidbits about our parks' past and reflections on their fragile future, this book is both a celebration of and a passionate case for the natural wonders that all Americans share.
Download or read book Radical Simplicity written by Jim Merkel and published by New Society Publishers. This book was released on 2003-09-03 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagine you are first in line at a potluck buffet. The spread includes not just food and water, but all the materials needed for shelter, clothing, healthcare, and education. How do you know how much to take? How much is enough to leave for your neighbors behind you - not just the six billion people, but the wildlife, and the as-yet-unborn? In the face of looming ecological disaster, many people feel the need to change their own lifestyles as a tangible way of transforming our unsustainable culture. Radical Simplicity is the first book that guides the reader to a personal sustainability goal, then offers a process to monitor progress to a lifestyle that is equitable amongst all people, species, and generations. It employs three tools to help readers begin their customized journey to simplicity: It builds on steps from Your Money or Your Life so readers can design their own personal economics to save money, get free of debt, and align their work with their values. It uses refined tools from Our Ecological Footprint so readers can measure how much nature is needed to supply all they consume and absorb their waste. And by advocating time alone in wild nature, it opens readers to another reality with humanity as one species among many on a complex and inter-related planet. Combining lyrical narrative, compassionate advocacy and absorbing science, Radical Simplicity is a practical, personal answer to 21st century challenges that will appeal as much to Cultural Creatives and students as to spiritual seekers, policy makers and sustainability professionals.

With a husband, three kids, a dog, and a job, when do you think I have the time?" Other times, I hear, "I don't know how to pray" or "I don't know what to say" or "What's the proper way to pray?" These are comments that I hear on a regular basis, in addition to "Pray for me. God seems to hear you." This book is actually two books in one. The Stoplight: How God's is Operating in Your Life gives you insight, using the stoplight (traffic light) as a guide, on how God has been working in your life all your life, even though you didn't realize it. There will be times while you are reading this book that you may see a situation that you could have written yourself or written about someone you know. You will see how He has lifted us up, carried us, let us make our mistakes, and then help us correct them. It also shows you how others in the Bible had flaws just like we do. Most painfully, it shows the sacrifice that God made for us by giving up His Son, our brother, so that we may have eternal life. Stoplight prayers will show you when you have time to pray, how to pray, and what to say when you pray. You will be amazed at how many opportunities you will have to pray during your busy day. Little tips and insights will enhance your prayer life and lead you on a journey of establishing a better relationship with God. Trust me, you will never be able to look at a stoplight the same way again!

Download or read book My Life written by Dick Craig and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2018-11-01 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all have a story to tell! They are all unique. No two are the same. Each is special; they are full of memories, of learning experiences, of things encountered along the way""some tragic and difficult, some fascinating and exciting. Certainly each story is valuable to someone. Life stories are full of mentors, both good and bad, people with tremendous influence who perhaps changed the pathway of one's life. I have had many mentors over the years. You will read about them! My Life, Does It Really Matter is my story. I loved writing it. As the distant memories came together in my mind, the details took shape, and often I was taken back to "the moment," and the emotions took over. As I wrote my story, I realized that there was a thread that wound through the years that held me together and brought me along the way. You can have the same thread! It will change your life! Insight One day at Starbucks, Dick Craig told his "career story" to some of us friends. An underlying theme in his life story stood out. God was working in Dick Craig's life from way back then and clearly all the way through. The truth shouts out. So now Dick had captured the story on paper; hence, family, friends, and everyone else can grasp that careful involvement. Dick's story reveals many lessons. From a distance, we also get an insight. "Many things happen for a reason and a purpose," even when we don't see it at the time. Our heavenly Parent is nurturing us for eternity. Many readers will have felt God's involvement in their life. If not, this book may now awaken their awareness. - Dennis O'Neill, Business Growth Coach, Niagara-On-The-Lake, Ontario, Canada
