Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this, his first book, Patrick Leigh Fermor recounts his tales of a personal odyssey to the lands of the Traveller's Tree - a tall, straight-trunked tree whose sheath-like leaves collect copious amounts of water. He made his way through the long island chain of the West Indies by steamer, aeroplane and sailing ship, noting in his records of the voyage the minute details of daily life, of the natural surroundings and of the idiosyncratic and distinct civilisations he encountered amongst the Caribbean Islands. From the ghostly Ciboneys and the dying Caribs to the religious eccentricities like the Kingston Pocomaniacs and the Poor Whites in the Islands of the Saints, Patrick Leigh Fermor recreates a vivid world, rich and vigorous with life.
Download or read book The Journeys of Trees A Story about Forests People and the Future written by Zach St. George and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2020-07-14 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An urgent and illuminating portrait of forest migration, and of the people studying the forests of the past, protecting the forests of the present, and planting the forests of the future. Forests are restless. Any time a tree dies or a new one sprouts, the forest that includes it has shifted. When new trees sprout in the same direction, the whole forest begins to migrate, sometimes at astonishing rates. Today, however, an array of obstacles—humans felling trees by the billions, invasive pests transported through global trade—threaten to overwhelm these vital movements. Worst of all, the climate is changing faster than ever before, and forests are struggling to keep up. A deft blend of science reporting and travel writing, The Journeys of Trees explores the evolving movements of forests by focusing on five trees: giant sequoia, ash, black spruce, Florida torreya, and Monterey pine. Journalist Zach St. George visits these trees in forests across continents, finding sequoias losing their needles in California, fossil records showing the paths of ancient forests in Alaska, domesticated pines in New Zealand, and tender new sprouts of blight-resistant American chestnuts in New Hampshire. Everywhere he goes, St. George meets lively people on conservation’s front lines, from an ecologist studying droughts to an evolutionary evangelist with plans to save a dying species. He treks through the woods with activists, biologists, and foresters, each with their own role to play in the fight for the uncertain future of our environment. An eye-opening investigation into forest migration past and present, The Journeys of Trees examines how we can all help our trees, and our planet, survive and thrive.

Download or read book TRAVELING WITH THE LORD written by Jan Boys and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2005-09-28 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ?An ancient spiritual maxim says, ?Find God in all things.? Jan Boys is one of those rare people who does. This engaging book about her travels (geographical and spiritual) invites us to think about our personal travels and reminds us that in the complexity of nature we can see the simplicity of God.? ?????????? Bernard Brady, Ph.D., Professor of Theology, University of St. Thomas, Minnesota, ????????????????????author of A Spiritual Field Guide. Are you seeking God?s presence in your life? Perhaps you?re retired or a traveler. Do you long for greater significance and purpose in your journeys? If so, then TRAVELING WITH THE LORD will appeal to you. Be prepared to find the Lord within its pages, and then listen for the still small voice of God. While standing on a bridge over a turbulent river with shifting currents and swirling whirlpools, most people stop for a few moments, glance down, and see only water rushing below. ?On the other hand,? Jan Boys? husband Gene observes, ?Jan stood on the bridge over the waters of Deception Pass in Washington State for fifteen minutes or more, studied the turbulent scene, and then wrote about God?s presence in the tumultuous times of life.? ?Picking a Path Through Turbulence? is one of twenty-five reflective stories in TRAVELING WITH THE LORD: An Emmaus Journey to the Pacific Northwest. This series of reflections -- a bit of travelogue and treasure hunt -- is drawn from the sights, sounds, and events of the Boys? two six-month journeys covering more than 37,000 miles. Jan explains, ?I create word pictures of places and events from our trips, describe how they relate to life, then listen and search for the presence of God.? While dry camping and enjoying the desert?s vibrant sunset, or craning her neck and tearfully gazing up at towering redwoods, or admiring massive majestic mountains, or savoring the tranquility of the ocean surf, God whispered and she heard, again and again. A sampling of the twenty-five reflections from the desert to the redwood forest, from the mountains to the ocean shore includes: ????? ????? ?Finding God in the Desert? ?... Rio Rancho, New Mexico ????? ????? ?Our Pilgrimage of Prayer? ?? The Grotto, Portland, Oregon ????? ????? ?On Waves and White Noise? ? Olympic National Park ????? ????? ?Facing My Fears? ?????.. Riding the Hiawatha Bike Trail ????? ????? ?Firm Foundations? ????? Glacier National Park ????? ????? "The Towering Cathedral? ??.. The California Redwoods ????? ????? ?Never Forget Your Dreams? ?. The Black Hills Of South Dakota ????? ????? ?God?s Survival Plan? ????. Mount St. Helens Revisited Jan describes this as ?finding God in the everyday stuff of life.? She sees more than the sight or event itself. God uses it as a teaching tool, a parable to speak to Jan?s soul and to encourage her to listen for His still small voice. TRAVELING WITH THE LORD: An Emmaus Journey to the Pacific Northwest will appeal to those seeking God?s presence in their lives, to travelers, retirees, and anyone longing for greater significance and purpose in their journeys. ???? ????? ? Use these reflections and stories to hear the whisperings of God as Jan did. ????? ????? ? Use them as a travel guide. Visit the same places yourself, look around with new eyes, and see what God reveals to you. ????? ????? ? Use them as a steppingstone to enable you to find your own sense of purpose and ways to leave a legacy. Jan encourages all of us. ?We are pilgrims on a journey to our heavenly home. In all your own wanderings and experiences, travel with the Lord, look for Him in the everyday stuff of life, and listen for the still small voice of God. Come, take a journey and go TRAVELING WITH THE LORD.?

Download or read book Far and Away written by Andrew Solomon and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-05-23 with total page 640 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the winner of the National Book Award and the National Books Critics’ Circle Award—and one of the most original thinkers of our time—“Andrew Solomon’s magisterial Far and Away collects a quarter-century of soul-shaking essays” (Vanity Fair). Far and Away chronicles Andrew Solomon’s writings about places undergoing seismic shifts—political, cultural, and spiritual. From his stint on the barricades in Moscow in 1991, when he joined artists in resisting the coup whose failure ended the Soviet Union, his 2002 account of the rebirth of culture in Afghanistan following the fall of the Taliban, his insightful appraisal of a Myanmar seeped in contradictions as it slowly, fitfully pushes toward freedom, and many other stories of profound upheaval, this book provides a unique window onto the very idea of social change. With his signature brilliance and compassion, Solomon demonstrates both how history is altered by individuals, and how personal identities are altered when governments alter. A journalist and essayist of remarkable perception and prescience, Solomon captures the essence of these cultures. Ranging across seven continents and twenty-five years, these “meaty dispatches…are brilliant geopolitical travelogues that also comprise a very personal and reflective resume of the National Book Award winner’s globe-trotting adventures” (Elle). Far and Away takes a magnificent journey into the heart of extraordinarily diverse experiences: “You will not only know the world better after having seen it through Solomon’s eyes, you will also care about it more” (Elizabeth Gilbert).
