Download or read book Family of Earth written by Wilma Dykeman and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2016-09-02 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discovered as a typewritten manuscript only after her death in 2006, Family of Earth allows us to see into the young mind of author and Appalachian native Wilma Dykeman (1920–2006), who would become one of the American South's most prolific and storied writers. Focusing on her childhood in Buncombe County, Dykeman reveals a perceptive and sophisticated understanding of human nature, the environment, and social justice. And yet, for her words' remarkable polish, her voice still resonates as raw and vital. Against the backdrop of early twentieth-century life in Asheville, she chronicles the touching, at times harrowing, story of her family's fortunes, plotting their rise and fall in uncertain economic times and ending with her father's sudden death in 1934 when she was fourteen years old. Featuring a new foreword by fellow North Carolinian Robert Morgan, Family of Earth stands as a new major literary work by a groundbreaking author.

Download or read book Abandon Racism and Welcome Our Fellow Extraterrestrials written by Juanita de Guzman Gutierrez BSED MSED and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-10-18 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do we stop the old and ancient, self-limiting, racial thinking of one another? Just think that we are all extraterrestrials. We came from the galaxies of stars. Even the Indigo children know this truth. It is the time of disclosures. Humanity had been enslaved. It is time to regain our divinity back and our power back. We do not need to be saved and do not need to worship any gods. We are all pieces of a prime creator source. Therefore, we are all gods and goddesses. We have the power, and we will evolve. We are all immortals. If you know that you will be a rock or a Buddhist or a paraplegic and when you come back to reincarnate, you will understand one another. This book will also give you the knowledge of breaking your soul contract. Breaking your soul contract and healing your energy field is a healing modality that came from our fellow Arcturian family. According to the Arcturians, this healing strategy is the most powerful healing modality given to humans at this time. It will be discussed here in this book as well. Why do we keep on hurting one another by calling one another names? Why do we judge a person by the color of their skin? We are one human race. We came from the HU. The HU is the ancient name of God. We came from the outer interstellar space. We did not originate on this earth. Therefore, we HUmans are all extraterrestrials. And our fellow extraterrestrials are coming out in the open soon to introduce themselves. They are already here—actually, ever since our Mama Gaia or Mother Earth existed. Forget the wrong indoctrinations we learned from schools. And what I taught, as a teacher, then, was wrong too. It is because I was not awakened yet then. I began my awakening this October of the year 2017. This book attempts to solve, give solutions, or suggest ideas that will make us realize that all people on this planet earth is of one race. And that is the whole HUman race. From the HU, god race. We are all extraterrestrials! This is disclosure in the first degree. We, HUmans, need to wake up. We are not alone. The ETs or extraterrestrials, as we know it in movies, are real. And they are going to reveal themselves very soon, even maybe before or after this book is published. They all come from other stars in the intergalactic outer space, just as we do. Believe it or not. There is no need to brand someone as the brown race, black race, white race, yellow race, and so on and so forth. HUmans are not limited by their skins’ pigments, nothing to be brushed off. Just keep an open mind. Our prime creator is of 221 energy frequency, and when that huge energy blew up, it took many forms, according to Dolores Cannon. It is time to awaken to the reality that the prime creator of all made us all one. The divine father and divine mother gods had made the human beings’ race to be the same persons. We all have the same lives to live, the same air to breathe, one planet earth to live on, one body to live. We are going to even ascend to the stars where we came from. We better believe this. There is a saying that “a house divided on its own cannot stand.” How true and fitting this is for humanity. If we have to survive as a human specie who are all magnificent, we better change our consciousness or thinking. We, as wonderful human beings, all belong to the great human race. We all are extraterrestrials. This is disclosure written by a Pleiadian from a previous life existence. This book will make you realize how important it is to stop the limiting and discriminating descriptions we have described one another. We all need to learn. Reject what is bad and take what is only good. Leave the limiting and ancient profiling of one another behind, never to come back. Welcome the new consciousness in—our higher selves. We are all powerful extraterrestrials.

Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FOR FICTION ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES’S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21ST CENTURY A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "A beautiful book . . . a world of insight into death, grief, art, and love." —Wall Street Journal "A penetrating, moving meditation on loss, comfort, memory . . . Nunez has a wry, withering wit." —NPR "Dry, allusive and charming . . . the comedy here writes itself.” —The New York Times A moving story of love, friendship, grief, healing, and the magical bond between a woman and her dog. When a woman unexpectedly loses her lifelong best friend and mentor, she finds herself burdened with the unwanted dog he has left behind. Her own battle against grief is intensified by the mute suffering of the dog, a huge Great Dane traumatized by the inexplicable disappearance of its master, and by the threat of eviction: dogs are prohibited in her apartment building. While others worry that grief has made her a victim of magical thinking, the woman refuses to be separated from the dog except for brief periods of time. Isolated from the rest of the world, increasingly obsessed with the dog's care, determined to read its mind and fathom its heart, she comes dangerously close to unraveling. But while troubles abound, rich and surprising rewards lie in store for both of them. Elegiac and searching, The Friend is both a meditation on loss and a celebration of human-canine devotion.

Book excerpt: The essential pocket primer on climate change that will leave an indelible impact on everyone who reads it. “Hope Jahren asks the central question of our time: how can we learn to live on a finite planet?" (Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth Extinction). “Hope Jahren is the voice that science has been waiting for.” —Nature Hope Jahren is an award-winning scientist, a brilliant writer, a passionate teacher, and one of the seven billion people with whom we share this earth. In The Story of More, she illuminates the link between human habits and our imperiled planet.

She explains the current and projected consequences of global warming—from superstorms to rising sea levels—and the actions that we all can take to fight back. At once an explainer on the mechanisms of global change and a lively, personal narrative given to us in Jahren’s inimitable voice, The Story of More is “a superb account of the deadly struggle between humanity and what may prove the only life-bearing planet within ten light years" (E. O. Wilson).

Download or read book Gaia s Gift written by Anne Primavesi and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-03-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gaia's Gift, the second of Anne Primavesi's explorations of human relationships with the earth, asks that we complete the ideological revolution set in motion by Copernicus and Darwin concerning human importancene. They challenged the notion of our God-given centrality within the universe and within earth's evolutionary history. Yet as our continuing exploitation of earth's resources and species demonstrates, we remain wedded to the theological assumption that these are there for our sole use and benefit. Now James Lovelock's scientific understanding of the existential reality of Gaia's gift of life again raises the question of our proper place within the universe. It turns us decisively towards an understanding of ourselves as dependent on, rather than in control of, the whole earth community.

Book excerpt: From Neil Abramson, USA Today bestselling author of Unsaid, comes a riveting novel that explores the complex connection between humans and animals. Veterinarian Samantha Lewis and her team are dedicated to providing a sanctuary for unwanted, abused, and abandoned dogs in New York City. But every day it gets harder to operate her no-kill shelter. Sam is already at her breaking point when she learns of an unidentified, dangerous virus spreading through their neighborhood. The medical community can only determine that animals are the carriers. Amid growing panic and a demand for immediate answers, suspicion abruptly falls on dogs as the source. Soon the governor is calling in the National Guard to enforce a quarantine--no dog may leave the area. Samantha knows from her own painful history that, despite the lack of real evidence against the dogs, a quarantine may only be the beginning. As questions about the source of the virus mount and clash with the pressure for a politically expedient resolution, Sam is forced to make life-altering choices. She finds allies in a motley crew of New Yorkers--a local priest, a troubled teen, a smart-mouthed former psychologist, and a cop desperate to do the right thing--all looking for sanctuary from their own personal demons. But the person Sam needs the most to unravel the mystery of the virus and save the dogs is the last one she'd ever want to call on--because contacting him will mean confronting the traumatic past she has fought so hard to escape.
