Fate starts to unravel when a scruffy lad with an ability to appear and disappear tells him their island is about to be destroyed - and Alfie is the only one who can stop it from happening.Suggested age 7+Book number nine from UK children's author Jules Marriner.What do people say about Jules' books?Great little story & the illustrations are brilliant.'An enjoyable bedtime story. Highly recommended.''...each page is a smorgasbord, a real treat for little readers.'Ask the Author...Q. What makes The Golden Stone special?A. The Isle of Wight is a really special place, with plenty of spooky places to explore and thousands of years of history. I wanted to write a much longer story for children who like to get their teeth into a good book, and explore the character of an unlikely hero, who thinks he's nothing special. This story is set on the Isle of Wight, but Black Wolf Manor and Orville Dreggs are very much part of my imagination. As far as I know, the Isle of Wight isn't going to be turned into a holiday isle for the rich and famous. However, you never know what might happen in the future... Q. Why should I give your books a try?A. I have been writing stories for nearly a zillion years (or so it feels!) and I love exploring things that are a little irreverent (in the most child friendly way). I always 'see' a book before I write it, and you will know what I mean when you have a look at my stories. I am also intensely interested in education, and think that our next generations need to be more aware of the environment than even we were at school.Q. Do you have other books?A. Yes - loads, and they can be purchased as paperback books too.Vincent and the VampiresRoyal FleasWally and Bert, BffsThe House on Hare HillFlossie BonceNature CallsFidget Dogstar (out October 2018)Check out my website:https://www.julesmarrinerbooks.com'An enjoyable bedtime story.

Book excerpt: Rosicrucianism is one of the most important, and least recognized, streams of Western spirituality. Forced underground in the maelstrom of the Thirty Years War, Rosicrucianism was passed down secretly by alchemists, hermetists, and Masons into the nineteenth century, when it inspired new spiritual movements, including theosophy, the Order of the Golden Dawn, and Rudolf Steiner's spiritual science. This book collects from many different sources Steiner's discussions on Rosicrucianism: the Tao and the Rose Cross; the history and mission of Christian Rosenkreutz; the nature of Rosicrucian practice and experience; the meaning of The Chemical Wedding; Goethe's Rosicrucian poem "The Mysteries; " and how to meditate on the Rose Cross itself.

Download or read book Global Heritage Stone written by D. Pereira and published by Geological Society of London. This book was released on 2015-06-04 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Special Publication is dedicated to heritage stone: those natural stones that have special significance in human culture. Some stones that have had important uses in the past are now neglected because they are no longer extracted. Others are still commercially important, but their heritage uses have not been well documented in widely available sources. The Heritage Stone Task Group of the International Union of Geological Sciences is working to establish a new formal designation of ‘Global Heritage Stone Resource’ to recognize those stones that have had internationally significant architectural and ornamental uses. The aim is to spread awareness of the cultural heritage aspects of these stones, to help to encourage continued supply for maintenance and repair of important monuments and to preserve historically important quarries. The aim is neither to promote nor to limit these stones for new construction: in some cases continuing commercial use might help to ensure future supplies for building conservation purposes.
