Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Well-received on initial publication, The Mind Tree is truly an enthralling read. Although he is severely autistic and nearly nonverbal, Tito’s ability to communicate through his extraordinary writing is astonishing. At the age of three, Tito was diagnosed with severe autism. But his mother, with boundless hope and determination, read to him and taught him to write in English. She also challenged him to write his own stories. The result of their efforts is this remarkable book—written when he was eight to eleven years old—comprised of profound and startling philosophical prose and poetry. During a New York Times interview, Tito scrawled on a yellow pad, “I need to write . . . It has become a part of me.”

Download or read book Talking with Trees written by Ben Lindemann and published by tredition. This book was released on 2019-03-22 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our swift-paced times, trees are places of repose and inspiration for many people. In the past, talking and listening to trees was an art reserved to the few, who preserved the knowledge and passed it on from generation to generation. You too can follow the path of the ancients, and immerse yourself in the realm of the trees. Irrespective of faith, world view or religion, this book describes in simple terms how you can get on the same wavelength with a tree, make contact with it and so draw on valuable counsel from the infinite wisdom that trees embody. The first part explains that this has nothing to do with esoteric hocus-pocus or empty imagination, as well as telling you how to deal with troublemakers and other obstacles. Obviously an oak is going to give you different impressions from a cypress. Therefore, in the second part of the book we describe in detail over sixty of our native trees, with their characteristics, the text being accompanied by colour illustrations. Let yourself be convinced, and join us on a journey into the kingdom of the trees!

"Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy." So begins a story of unforgettable perception, beautifully written and illustrated by the gifted and versatile Shel Silverstein. This moving parable for all ages offers a touching interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return. Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk...and the tree was happy.

Shel Silverstein's incomparable career as a bestselling children's book author and illustrator began with Lafcadio, the Lion Who Shot Back. He is also the creator of picture books including A Giraffe and a Half, Who Wants a Cheap Rhinoceros?, The Missing Piece, The Missing Piece Meets the Big O, and the perennial favorite The Giving Tree, and of classic poetry collections such as Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, Falling Up, Every Thing On It, Don't Bump the Glump!, and Runny Babbit.

Download or read book The Great Plant Based Con written by Jayne Buxton and published by Piatkus. This book was released on 2022-06-09 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Plant-based is best for health, go vegan to help save the planet, eat less meat... Almost every day we are bombarded with the seemingly incontrovertible message that we must reduce our consumption of meat and dairy - or eliminate them from our diets altogether. But what if the pervasive message that the plant-based diet will improve our health and save the planet is misleading - or even false? What if removing animal foods from our diet is a serious threat to human health, and a red herring in the fight against climate change. In THE GREAT PLANT-BASED CON, Jayne Buxton demonstrates that each of these 'what-ifs' is, in fact, a reality. Drawing on the work of numerous health experts and researchers, she uncovers how the separate efforts of a constellation of individuals, companies and organisations are leading us down a dietary road that will have severe repercussions for our health and wellbeing, and for the future of the planet. THE GREAT PLANT-BASED CON is neither anti-plant nor anti-vegan - it is a call for us to take an honest look at the facts about human diets and their effect on the environment. Shocking and eye-opening, this book outlines everything you need to know to make more informed decisions about the food you choose to eat.

Download or read book Summary of Jayne Buxton s The Great Plant Based Con written by Everest Media, and published by Everest Media LLC. This book was released on 2022-08-29T22:59:00Z with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The media regularly promotes the idea that animal agriculture is the biggest contributor to climate change. However, this is completely false. #2 In 2020, many people around the world heard the call to reduce or eliminate meat consumption. The proportion of UK meat eaters who reported having reduced or limited the amount of meat they consume rose from 28 percent in 2017 to 39 percent in 2019. #3 There is no shortage of people arguing for a more balanced and fact-based debate. However, the media continues to focus on the emissions from livestock, instead of the main culprit: fossil fuels. #4 One fact is that 85 percent of global emissions are generated by sources other than animal agriculture. So why are we vilifying farmers and the meat and dairy products they produce. Because it’s easy to target, and because people feel guilty about the damage they are doing to the planet, they want to seem like they’re doing something positive.

Download or read book Sticks and Stones written by Michael Hiebert and published by Pinnacle Books. This book was released on 2018-06-26 with total page 624 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "There's something mesmerizing about Hiebert's storytelling voice." --The New York Times Book Review A case from the past sparks a nightmare for Detective Leah Teal in Michael Hiebert’s masterful new novel of suspense. Fifteen years ago, a serial killer tagged by the media as the Stickman spread terror throughout Alabama and became Alvin detective Joe Fowler’s obsession. After fifteen months and nine victims, Harry Stork was identified as the Stickman and Fowler shot him dead. The killings stopped. For a while. Now, more bodies are turning up, each staked through the chest with a stick-figure drawing in the killer’s signature style. Detective Leah Teal—Joe Fowler’s daughter and Alvin’s sole detective—receives a letter before each victim is found, just like her late father did. The only people who knew about the letters were the cops on the taskforce back then—and the killer himself. Did Joe shoot the wrong man, or was one of the detectives he handpicked involved all along? As a single mother, Leah tries to balance an increasingly disturbing case and a new relationship with caring for her children—bright, perceptive Abe, and teenaged Caroline, who’s in the first flush of young love. But with each menacing communication, each gruesome discovery, Leah realizes just how personal, and how devastating, the truth may be. Weaving lyrical prose and emotional richness into a taut, gripping mystery, Michael Hiebert creates a fascinating novel of life, love, and death in a small Southern town. Praise for the novels of Michael Hiebert Dream with Little Angels "Hiebert's first novel courts comparison to the classic To Kill a Mockingbird, but the book manages to soar as a moving achievement in its own right. In Hiebert's hands, psychological insight and restrained lyricism combine to create a coming-of-age tale as devastating as it is indelible. --Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) "Readers who enjoy literary fiction depicting small-town life in the tradition of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird may want to try Hiebert's debut." --Library Journal "Michael Hiebert's debut delivers . . . a breathless, will-they-get-there-in-time affair, with a heartbreaking resolution." --Mystery Scene Close to the Broken Hearted "Hiebert does a masterful job of building suspense." --Publishers Weekly "A very good, sometimes emotional, mystery that will stay with you long after it's over." --Suspense Magazine A Thorn Among the Lilies "Engaging. . .Readers will keep guessing whodunit to the end." --Publishers Weekly
