Download or read book Geology of U S Parklands written by Eugene P. Kiver and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1999-06-15 with total page 916 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fascinating and accessible introduction to the principles of physical and historical geology. For the millions who visit them each year, U.S. national parklands offer a glittering spectacle of natural wonders. But beyond the spectacular scenery, these national treasures have a much bigger, more awe-inspiring tale to tell--a sprawling story of upheaval and transformation, involving forces and time-spans almost beyond imagining. The purpose of this book is to provide you with the knowledge you need to read and interpret that story, and to make visits to the parklands even more special. Requiring no prior familiarity with the geological sciences, this region-by-region exploration of the U.S. parklands teaches the principles of physical and historical geology by example. It begins with a general introduction to all important concepts, terms, and principles. In the chapters that follow, the authors take you on a tour through the geological regions of the United States. Beginning with Hawaii and the Pacific borderlands and moving progressively eastward to the Appalachian Mountains and the coastal plains of the East Coast, they provide you with a geologist's-eye view of the landforms, mountains, and bodies of water encountered in over 70 national parks and monuments, and tell the fascinating story of their evolution. Lavishly illustrated with nearly 300 stunning photographs and maps and featuring greatly expanded coverage of the geological story, history, and culture of U.S. parks and monuments, this new edition of Dr. David Harris's classic text is an ideal introduction to the principles of geology for students and nature enthusiasts alike.

Download or read book Sight Unseen written by Carol Rainey and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2003-09-23 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New York Times bestselling author of Witnessed, Intruders, and Missing Time -- three groundbreaking books on the UFO phenomenon -- returns with astonishing evidence that other-worldly beings are a very real -- and growing -- part of our lives. In Sight Unseen, Budd Hopkins and coauthor Carol Rainey show how fascinating discoveries in modern science support the plausibility of the UFO phenomenon. Featuring sixteen never-before-published cases, Sight Unseen probes two newly uncovered patterns in alien abduction: cases of UFO "invisibility" and reports of genetically altered alien beings who interact with humans during their routine lives. The "invisibility" accounts detailed by Hopkins include numerous daylight abductions in densely populated urban areas -- all apparently unseen and accomplished through a technology of invisibility. Two air force non-coms are snatched from the tarmac of a busy military airfield. An Australian family is levitated up into a hovering craft while the father remains paralyzed on the ground with a camera to his eye. The resulting evidence on film is discussed in terms of our own scientific advances. In the second series of cases, abductees report encounters with beings who appear human but apparently possess paranormal powers and stunted emotional ranges. Three young women, unknown to each other, are mysteriously summoned to "job interviews." In ordinary office settings, they encounter human-looking beings who lead them into baffling UFO abduction experiences. A Wisconsin farmer meets "Damoe," a man with odd behavior who closely resembles his son. Damoe eventually reveals himself as an accomplice of UFO occupants in a startling abduction of the farmer and his wife. Five-year-old Jen is abducted at night to a nearby playground. There she must teach the techniques and skills of "play" to twelve seemingly identical, quasi-human children. Along with these bizarre, first-person stories told by credible people, Hopkins and Rainey explore cutting-edge advances in our own technologies and scientific theories that show how these new UFO patterns could have a concrete basis in contemporary science. Included are an examination of cloaking devices for aircraft, mind-control technologies, and teleportation achieved in the lab. Perhaps the most compelling argument to support these cases lies in the startling and controversial new science of transgenics that actually allows for the creation of alien/human beings.

Download or read book TRAVELING WITH THE LORD written by Jan Boys and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2005-09-28 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ?An ancient spiritual maxim says, ?Find God in all things.? Jan Boys is one of those rare people who does. This engaging book about her travels (geographical and spiritual) invites us to think about our personal travels and reminds us that in the complexity of nature we can see the simplicity of God.? ?????????? Bernard Brady, Ph.D., Professor of Theology, University of St. Thomas, Minnesota, ????????????????????author of A Spiritual Field Guide. Are you seeking God?s presence in your life? Perhaps you?re retired or a traveler. Do you long for greater significance and purpose in your journeys? If so, then TRAVELING WITH THE LORD will appeal to you. Be prepared to find the Lord within its pages, and then listen for the still small voice of God. While standing on a bridge over a turbulent river with shifting currents and swirling whirlpools, most people stop for a few moments, glance down, and see only water rushing below. ?On the other hand,? Jan Boys? husband Gene observes, ?Jan stood on the bridge over the waters of Deception Pass in Washington State for fifteen minutes or more, studied the turbulent scene, and then wrote about God?s presence in the tumultuous times of life.? ?Picking a Path Through Turbulence? is one of twenty-five reflective stories in TRAVELING WITH THE LORD: An Emmaus Journey to the Pacific Northwest. This series of reflections -- a bit of travelogue and treasure hunt -- is drawn from the sights, sounds, and events of the Boys? two six-month journeys covering more than 37,000 miles. Jan explains, ?I create word pictures of places and events from our trips, describe how they relate to life, then listen and search for the presence of God.? While dry camping and enjoying the desert?s vibrant sunset, or craning her neck and tearfully gazing up at towering redwoods, or admiring massive majestic mountains, or savoring the tranquility of the ocean surf, God whispered and she heard, again and again. A sampling of the twenty-five reflections from the desert to the redwood forest, from the mountains to the ocean shore includes: ????? ????? ?Finding God in the Desert? ?... Rio Rancho, New Mexico ????? ????? ?Our Pilgrimage of Prayer? ?? The Grotto, Portland, Oregon ????? ????? ?On Waves and White Noise? ? Olympic National Park ????? ????? ?Facing My Fears? ?????.. Riding the Hiawatha Bike Trail ????? ????? ?Firm Foundations? ????? Glacier National Park ????? ????? "The Towering Cathedral? ??.. The California Redwoods ????? ????? ?Never Forget Your Dreams? ?. The Black Hills Of South Dakota ????? ????? ?God?s Survival Plan? ????. Mount St. Helens Revisited Jan describes this as ?finding God in the everyday stuff of life.? She sees more than the sight or event itself. God uses it as a teaching tool, a parable to speak to Jan?s soul and to encourage her to listen for His still small voice. TRAVELING WITH THE LORD: An Emmaus Journey to the Pacific Northwest will appeal to those seeking God?s presence in their lives, to travelers, retirees, and anyone longing for greater significance and purpose in their journeys. ???? ????? ? Use these reflections and stories to hear the whisperings of God as Jan did. ????? ????? ? Use them as a travel guide. Visit the same places yourself, look around with new eyes, and see what God reveals to you. ????? ????? ? Use them as a steppingstone to enable you to find your own sense of purpose and ways to leave a legacy. Jan encourages all of us. ?We are pilgrims on a journey to our heavenly home. In all your own wanderings and experiences, travel with the Lord, look for Him in the everyday stuff of life, and listen for the still small voice of God. Come, take a journey and go TRAVELING WITH THE LORD.?
