Book excerpt: We are surrounded by invitations. In grade school, birthday party invitations were so much fun to get in class. Friends may invite us to grab a bite to eat; or you may want to invite that girl from your homeroom to go see a movie. Invitations bring us closer together. Accepting them will always bring us closer to others and teach us more about ourselves. Before we invite people to share with us, we have to get to know them. The greatest of all invitations came when God sent His Son to offer heaven to mankind. Many don't know this to be true because they feel judged and don't know that the offer is extended to them too. God is able to invite us because He knows us and wants us to know Him. An unbelievable adventure started when a young man was invited to leave his country to go to visit a city in Venezuela for one week. Accepting the invitation started an unbelievable course of events and led him to an acceptance of his own spiritual apathy and desolation and a newfound inspiration to overcome it while also reaching out to others. This search for others in desolation continues and has taken the author to incredible heights. He now invites you to share in this compelling journey from near death to abundant life and a lifetime of church planting in the exceptionally beautiful but spiritually dark Andes Mountains. Half of the royalties from this book will go to support Christ the King Baptist Church in Timotes, Venezuela and their ongoing efforts to grow an alcohol rehab center there.

Download or read book Notes of a Potato Watcher written by James Lang and published by International Potato Center. This book was released on 2001 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Native to the New World, the potato was domesticated by Andean farmers, probably in the Lake Titicaca basin, almost as early as grain crops were cultivated in the Near East. Full of essential vitamins and energy-giving starch, the potato has proved a valuable world resource. Curious Spaniards took the potato back to Europe, from whence it spread worldwide. Today, the largest potato producer is China, with India not far behind. To tell the potato's story, Lang has done fieldwork in South America, Asia, and Africa."--Jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unusual encyclopedia brings together in-depth information on more than 450 natural geographic features from around the world and offers an array of creative tools to promote critical thinking and classroom discussion. With Earth undergoing rapid environmental change, students and the general public alike should be knowledgeable about the world's geographic features. This authoritative, two-volume reference enables readers do just that. It describes continents and oceans; individual mountains, islands, caves, and rivers; and ecological entities such as wildlife refuges and national parks. Each entry provides a geographic overview of the feature's significance, location, description, geologic history, biota, protected areas, and environmental issues. But the coverage goes even deeper so that entries also discuss the cultural importance of each natural place, covering everything from indigenous beliefs to traditional folklore to contemporary legends. The encyclopedia stands apart from other works not only in the depth of its coverage but also in its range. It discusses lesser known as well as prominent geographical features and offers critical thinking aids that will help students see how the natural world relates to their daily lives. Teaching and learning tools include an appendix called "Opposing Viewpoints" that allows students to understand landforms involved in current conflicts and disputes as well as an "Activities/Discussion Questions" appendix.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mountains, Climate and Biodiversity: A comprehensive and up-to-date synthesis for students and researchers Mountains are topographically complex formations that play a fundamental role in regional and continental-scale climates. They are also cradles to all major river systems and home to unique, and often highly biodiverse and threatened, ecosystems. But how do all these processes tie together to form the patterns of diversity we see today? Written by leading researchers in the fields of geology, biology, climate, and geography, this book explores the relationship between mountain building and climate change, and how these processes shape biodiversity through time and space. In the first two sections, you will learn about the processes, theory, and methods connecting mountain building and biodiversity In the third section, you will read compelling examples from around the world exploring the links between mountains, climate and biodiversity Throughout the 31 peer-reviewed chapters, a non-technical style and synthetic illustrations make this book accessible to a wide audience A comprehensive glossary summarises the main concepts and terminology Readership: Mountains, Climate and Biodiversity is intended for students and researchers in geosciences, biology and geography. It is specifically compiled for those who are interested in historical biogeography, biodiversity and conservation.
