Download or read book Nechako Country written by June Wood and published by Heritage House Publishing Co. This book was released on 2007 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The indomitable spirit of Bert Irvine is at the heart of Nechako Country, a story that provides a glimpse into a simpler world in simpler times. After Bert moved his young family from Barrhead in northwestern Alberta to Vanderhoof in central British Columbia, the upper Nechako country and Nechako River became integral parts of their lives. Bert's life was and still is intertwined with the wilderness, and the country itself is a major player in this tale. Spanning 1934 to 2005, a period of unprecedented and fast-paced change, the story focuses largely on the '50s and '60s. As the wilderness way of life continues to be replaced by a new world of high technology, and the wilderness itself is pushed back and badly bruised, Nechako Country provides a window into the past and a lifestyle that has all but vanished. In part the story of one man's journey through life as a trapper, guide-outfitter and jack-of-all trades, it is also a history of the upper Nechako valley, its people and the tortured Nechako River, the lifeblood of this beautiful area.

Download or read book Science and the Genesis Account of Creation written by Chuck Jersch and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2021-07-26 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I read statistics that over 80% of Christians lose their faith while attending public school and University. Children brought up in a Christian home are 45% less likely to turn to crime, than those in non-Christian homes. It really made me wonder. I took a semester of law through Queens University about 55 years ago and in it they mentioned that our current laws are based on the Mosaic laws and the laws of Hammurabi. When I started this study about 20 years ago, I was going to prove Science wrong. After reading the Bible in six different translations and taking about fifty university courses through “The Teaching Co” (www.teach12.com) I found that different Denominations interpret the Bible Quite differently. In my book I have tried to bring Christianity and science together as Companions rather than adversaries.

Book excerpt: Following the threads of Nick Hutchinson’s extraordinary life and adventures, A Mingled Yarn weaves together theatre, farming, family, horses, social unrest, Shakespeare, drugs, manic depression, love and more. Son of renowned actress Dame Peggy Ashcroft and master advocate Lord Jeremy Hutchinson Q.C. Hutchinson grew up around the greats of British Theatre. As a young adult in the sixties, deeply uncomfortable with the class structure into which he was born, his idealism and passion involved him in direct action in Europe he encountered revolutionary theatre practices and in Paris the student protests. His move to Canada-first to Montreal, a city in the throes of its own revolution-brought him finally to the Wild West, where he began to live his childhood cowboy dream. As artistic director of the horse-drawn travelling show, The Caravan Stage Company he mounted thought- provoking, audience - immersive productions under the open skies, later founding the Caravan Farm Theatre for farm centred shows- from a masked Animal Farm among real pig pens to a winter production of the Snow Queen on horse drawn sleighs and the first Caravan Shakespeare productions. A Mingled Yarn is a journey through modern theatre history. It is a testament to the power of theatre and the creative process-even when it borders on mania. But it is also a celebration of community and a simpler life, lived on the land. Hutchinson’s sweeping autobiography has broad appeal, particularly for creative people and theatre lovers, as well as those who find their peace in wide open spaces on the back of a horse.
