Book excerpt: On a grassy hilled college campus, Henry was born to two loving parents who taught him to believe in the Great Goose. Henry was always a special goose, who was brought into this world with a special purpose; but no one knew what it was to be. Henry suffered an accident that launched him into the world alone, only following what he believed to be the Great Goose’s wished. He had doubts, but he continued along unknown paths with an unknown destination or purpose. Along the way, he accumulates a strange array of colleagues, including an aging Cobbler who is a Veteran from the Korean War. He also adds a homing pigeon that is lost; hence, we have a Canada goose who does not know where he is going and a Homing Pigeon that cannot find home. Together, they proceed like Don Quixote and Sancho Panza with feathers. They add a Mallard Duck named Gilbert, two aging widowed Canada geese, Andy and Leroy, and finally, three testy Russian geese, Nicholas, Dmitri, and Natasha. The bounce around the world solving problems while learning to understand and appreciate each other.

Download or read book The Pyrocene written by Stephen J. Pyne and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2022-08-02 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A provocative rethinking of how humans and fire have evolved together over time—and our responsibility to reorient this relationship before it's too late.​ The Pyrocene tells the story of what happened when a fire-wielding species, humanity, met an especially fire-receptive time in Earth's history. Since terrestrial life first appeared, flames have flourished. Over the past two million years, however, one genus gained the ability to manipulate fire, swiftly remaking both itself and eventually the world. We developed small guts and big heads by cooking food; we climbed the food chain by cooking landscapes; and now we have become a geologic force by cooking the planet. Some fire uses have been direct: fire applied to convert living landscapes into hunting grounds, forage fields, farms, and pastures. Others have been indirect, through pyrotechnologies that expanded humanity's reach beyond flame's grasp. Still, preindustrial and Indigenous societies largely operated within broad ecological constraints that determined how, and when, living landscapes could be burned. These ancient relationships between humans and fire broke down when people began to burn fossil biomass—lithic landscapes—and humanity's firepower became unbounded. Fire-catalyzed climate change globalized the impacts into a new geologic epoch. The Pleistocene yielded to the Pyrocene. Around fires, across millennia, we have told stories that explained the world and negotiated our place within it. The Pyrocene continues that tradition, describing how we have remade the Earth and how we might recover our responsibilities as keepers of the planetary flame.

Book excerpt: Rich, ex playboy ready to settle down. Curvy broken-hearted woman that’s hesitant on love. And they’re snowed in together. I’m not frigid. I figure if I keep telling myself that, I’ll start to believe it. It’s hard to do though when my ex-fiancé cheated on me and he says the reason he did is because I can’t be satisfied. Just because I’ve never had the big “O” doesn’t mean that I’m frigid.... right? Now there’s no fiancé, no wedding and the honeymoon is nonrefundable. Needing a break from what’s become of my life, I take the trip solo. After a morning on skis, I know I want to spend the rest of the trip curled up with a good book, inside where it’s warm. Then I meet Levi. He’s the hot ski instructor that wants to spend more time with me. I should tell him no, but how can I when he saves me from an embarrassing run in with my ex. Now I’m snowed in with him and he has something to prove... He’s going to give me the big “O”, and he may just give me my forever too.

Download or read book A Tale of Silence written by Ned Cole and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-11-07 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is based on the true story of Jonathan Ned Cole, a deaf adopted son of Mary Carol Cole and Ned M Cole. Much of the story is factually about Jon’s rather tragic life. Some of the story about his biological parents are works of my imagination. Jon never knew who his biological parents were. Other parts are dramatized to better portray who Jon was, a black, deaf boy raised in an all-white family. The last chapter is about Jon’s time in Heaven and of course is from my imagination. Thinking of Jon being in Heaven helps me to deal with my grief over losing him. The story is told in the first person as though Jon were narrating the story himself. Some of what Jon tells you might make you laugh. Other parts will cause your eyes to well up in tears. As you listen to Jon tell his story you will discover that deafness is a far greater burden to carry than being a black person in mostly white America. This story is one which with the author struggled for many years to find the words that would do justice to the extraordinary silence that Jon lived with during all of his short 26 years of life. This story is about the joy of living and the grief a family feels when a child is lost to them far too early. Yet this story in the end is about hope. As Jon would have it, his “real” father and mother make their home in Melbourne, Florida.
