In this insightful, full-color tour of Jamaica, Norway, Hawai'i, Japan, India, and Brazil, wellness and travel journalist Annie Daly shares a diverse array of philosophies, lifestyles, and practices for better living. Fed up with the commercialization of the wellness industry after working in it for years, Annie embarked on an inspiring adventure through some of the world's happiest and healthiest cities and villages to find out what we can learn from them. Whether she's hiking along gorgeous fjords in Norway to see why Norwegians are so dedicated to getting outside, soothing her spirit with Hawaiian salt water cleanses, or learning about the importance Brazilians place on community, Annie combines on-the-ground reporting with heartful personal narrative to share the global lessons, philosophies, and customs that prove that wellness is not about the products—it's about the way you live your life.

Download or read book Invitations from Afar written by Linda A.W. King and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2012-06-11 with total page 619 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After fulfilling every objective of a top secret mission to Jupiters Ganymede and now only days from home, four NASA astronauts learn from their computer systems analyst in Houston through an unauthorized channel that a bomb may be on a rendezvous course with their ship, the Copernicus. Mission Specialist Jana Novacek, the youngest astronaut ever, who has been chosen for mysterious reasons, suggests breaking security, announcing their existence to everyone over the net, and asking for help. Someone might be willing to help who unknowingly is involved in the plot against them. Cocommander Fawzshen, Prince of Rhatania, further recommends revealing their amazing discovery. Commander Jackson Medwin thinks that Janas journal is ideal for that purpose. Jana is distressed and feels her personal journal is not suitable. Commander Medwin will do anything to save his crew, this mission, and their discovery, but he decides neither to take evasive actions nor break security until they have proof that something is on a collision course with their ship. He considers a deactivated meteoroid detection program uploaded to them from Houston as insufficient proof.

Specific topics discussed include medieval beliefs in the pestilent breath of witches, malarial theory in India, domestic and military use of tear gas, Gulf War Syndrome, Los Angeles smog, automotive emissions control, the epidemiological effects of air pollution, transboundary air pollution, ozone depletion, the contributions of contemporary artists to climate awareness, and the toxic history of carbon "die"-oxide.

Download or read book Winds from Afar written by Lin Meyer and published by . This book was released on 2023-12-17 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a first generation of immigrants, we were like trees pulled out of the ground, moved to a remote place with completely different atmospheres. We could not fully understand the others' conversation at Christmas parties. We did not enjoy turkey, we had trouble to digest their milk. or to find one from whom we can borrow money for an emergency. The worst, we were home sick. In the quite sunny but cold winter, all I remember was the wind chime. it jingled in my ear. It penetrated my heart, it brought my tears. So I started writing, I talked to myself. Writing is like prayer. it is a response to nature; it purifies my mind, it turns the noisy world into peaceful joy. it reminds me that it is this language which forged my value, my spirit, and I will never forget it.
Download or read book Yale Required Reading Collected Works Vol 2 written by Lucius Annaeus Seneca and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-11-27 with total page 5587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection is based on the required reading list of Yale Department of Classics. Originally designed for students, this anthology is meant for everyone eager to know more about the history and literature of this period, interested in poetry, philosophy and rhetoric of Ancient Rome. Latin literature is a natural successor of Ancient Greek literature. The beginning of Classic Roman literature dates to 240 BC. From that point on, Latin literature would flourish for the next six centuries.

Consequently, Latin Literature outlived the Roman Empire and it included European writers who followed the fall of the Empire, from religious writers like Aquinas, to secular writers like Francis Bacon, Baruch Spinoza, and Isaac Newton. This collection presents all the major Classic Roman authors, including Cicero, Virgil, Ovid and Horace whose work intrigues and fascinates readers until this day.

While Asta understands her husband’s relationship with Alison, Eirik’s brother, Sigmus, accuses Alison of witchery. And despite his own betrothal, Sigmus not so secretly covets and pursues Asta. Circumstances are further complicated when matriarch, Britna, proposes that her sons return her skraeling lover to his desert home—the surprising condition, that she goes too.
