Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nelson Paige and his Grandfather awake at dawn to a sea that is like a gray void emerging out of an expansive black night. Dawn, the third day of their adventure, creeps in with a sliver of salmon-pink sky, and the wind starts to inch upward in the southwest. Ever so quietly Grandfather places his finger into the air, an old-fashioned technique of predicting the weather-but in his estimation dependable. Within hours the wind seems to pick up momentum and begins to blow. The system spins faster and faster. "It's a force-9," assures Grandfather. The sea becomes gray and marbled, and it begins to rise. Lightening flashes across the sky, and he counts the seconds before he hears the thunder. Rain sputters down the steel-colored sky, and the horizon is blotted out by a huge wall of gray water. The ocean belches forth violently during the storm unwanted debris. After the storm subsides, Nelson Paige walks the shore, where discovers an alabaster container dusted by a thousand ocean storms that changes his life forevermore. Nelson Paige Rides a Whale is the third in a series of four historical novels: People of the Forest and Lakes (Iroquois), People of the Plains (Pawnee/Cherokee), People of the Rivers and Sea (Okonogan), and People of the Deserts and Mesas (Navajos).

Dynah Carey knew where her life was headed. Engaged to a wonderful man, the daughter of doting parents, a faithful child of God—she has it all. Then the unthinkable happens: Dynah’s perfect life is irrevocably changed by a rape that results in an unwanted pregnancy. Her family is torn apart and her seemingly rock-solid faith is pushed to the limits as she faces the most momentous choice of her life: to embrace or to end the life within her. This is ultimately a tale of three women, as Dynah’s plight forces both her mother and her grandmother to confront the choices they made. Written with balance and compassion, The Atonement Child brings a new perspective to a widely debated topic.

Used to the bloodstained rites of the War-God's priests, Yaotl is unperturbed at the ritual slaughter of the so-called Flowery Death. When the victim runs amok and leaps to his death before he can be sacrified, Yaotl's only worry is how to explain it to his master.

Download or read book Wanderlust written by Rebecca Solnit and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2001-06-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A passionate, thought-provoking exploration of walking as a political and cultural activity, from the author of Orwell's Roses Drawing together many histories--of anatomical evolution and city design, of treadmills and labyrinths, of walking clubs and sexual mores--Rebecca Solnit creates a fascinating portrait of the range of possibilities presented by walking. Arguing that the history of walking includes walking for pleasure as well as for political, aesthetic, and social meaning, Solnit focuses on the walkers whose everyday and extreme acts have shaped our culture, from philosophers to poets to mountaineers. She profiles some of the most significant walkers in history and fiction--from Wordsworth to Gary Snyder, from Jane Austen's Elizabeth Bennet to Andre Breton's Nadja--finding a profound relationship between walking and thinking and walking and culture. Solnit argues for the necessity of preserving the time and space in which to walk in our ever more car-dependent and accelerated world.
Download or read book Wildboy written by Brando Yelavich and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2015-06-24 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The full story of Brando 'Wildboy' Yelavich's whirlwind tour of the coastline of New Zealand: 8000km almost entirely on foot. Extreme adventure, near misses, good sorts, and one beautiful country – Wildboy has it all! Fast going off the rails and hanging out with the wrong crowd, Brando Yelavich, a plucky 20-year-old from Auckland's North Shore, decided he needed to change his life. He needed a mission. He was going to walk around New Zealand. Brando reached Cape Reinga on 23 August 2014 after a gruelling journey of over 8000 kilometres, traversed almost completely on foot over 600 days – the first time it had ever been done. It was an outlandish odyssey of physical and mental fortitude. He slept under the stars and lived off the land. He almost drowned on several occasions and experienced near-hypothermia. He gained 20 kilograms. But the transformation ran much deeper. As much for fans of Bear Grylls or Cheryl Strayed's Wild as it is for those of the off-the-grid outdoors Kiwi experience, Wildboy is a ripping adventure story with an inspiring life change at its heart.
Download or read book Color for Science Art and Technology written by Kurt Nassau and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1997-12-18 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to assemble a series of chapters, written by experts in their fields, covering the basics of color - and then some more. In this way, readers are supplied with almost anything they want to know about color outside their own area of expertise. Thus, the color measurement expert, as well as the general reader, can find here information on the perception, causes, and uses of color. For the artist there are details on the causes, measurement, perception, and reproduction of color. Within each chapter, authors were requested to indicate directions of future efforts, where applicable. One might reasonably expect that all would have been learned about color in the more than three hundred years since Newton established the fundamentals of color science. This is not true because:• the measurement of color still has unresolved complexities (Chapter 2)• many of the fine details of color vision remain unknown (Chapter 3)• every few decades a new movement in art discovers original ways to use new pigments, and dyes continue to be discovered (Chapter 5)• the philosophical approach to color has not yet crystallized (Chapter 7)• new pigments and dyes continue to be discovered (Chapters 10 and 11)• the study of the biological and therapeutic effects of color is still in its infancy (Chapter 2).Color continues to develop towards maturity and the editor believes that there is much common ground between the sciences and the arts and that color is a major connecting bridge.

Download or read book Historical and Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Hope written by Steven C. van den Heuvel and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-07-20 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access volume makes an important contribution to the ongoing research on hope theory by combining insights from both its long history and its increasing multi-disciplinarity. In the first part, it recognizes the importance of the centuries-old reflection on hope by offering historical perspectives and tracing it back to ancient Greek philosophy. At the same time, it provides novel perspectives on often-overlooked historical theories and developments and challenges established views. The second part of the volume documents the state of the art of current research in hope across eight disciplines, which are philosophy, theology, psychology, economy, sociology, health studies, ecology, and development studies. Taken together, this volume provides an integrated view on hope as a multi-faced phenomenon. It contributes to the further understanding of hope as an essential human capacity, with the possibility of transforming our human societies.
