Book excerpt: THE YEAR 1000 is a vivid evocation of how English people lived a thousand years ago - no spinach, sugar or Caesarean operations in which the mother had any chance of survival, but a world that knew brain surgeons, property developers and, yes, even the occasional gossip columnist. In the spirit of modern investigative journalism, Lacey and Danziger interviewed the leading historians and archaeologists in their field. In the year 1000 the changing seasons shaped a life that was, by our standards, both soothingly quiet and frighteningly hazardous - and if you survived, you could expect to grow to just about the same height and stature as anyone living today. This exuberant and informative book concludes as the shadow of the millennium descends across England and Christendom, with prophets of doom invoking the spectre of the Anti-Christ. Here comes the abacus - the medieval calculating machine - along with bewildering new concepts like infinity and zero. These are portents of the future, and THE YEAR 1000 finishes by examining the human and social ingredients that were to make for survival and success in the next thousand years.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “The Uninhabitable Earth hits you like a comet, with an overflow of insanely lyrical prose about our pending Armageddon.”—Andrew Solomon, author of The Noonday Demon NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New Yorker • The New York Times Book Review • Time • NPR • The Economist • The Paris Review • Toronto Star • GQ • The Times Literary Supplement • The New York Public Library • Kirkus Reviews It is worse, much worse, than you think. If your anxiety about global warming is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible—food shortages, refugee emergencies, climate wars and economic devastation. An “epoch-defining book” (The Guardian) and “this generation’s Silent Spring” (The Washington Post), The Uninhabitable Earth is both a travelogue of the near future and a meditation on how that future will look to those living through it—the ways that warming promises to transform global politics, the meaning of technology and nature in the modern world, the sustainability of capitalism and the trajectory of human progress. The Uninhabitable Earth is also an impassioned call to action. For just as the world was brought to the brink of catastrophe within the span of a lifetime, the responsibility to avoid it now belongs to a single generation—today’s. LONGLISTED FOR THE PEN/E.O. WILSON LITERARY SCIENCE WRITING AWARD “The Uninhabitable Earth is the most terrifying book I have ever read. Its subject is climate change, and its method is scientific, but its mode is Old Testament. The book is a meticulously documented, white-knuckled tour through the cascading catastrophes that will soon engulf our warming planet.”—Farhad Manjoo, The New York Times “Riveting. . . . Some readers will find Mr. Wallace-Wells’s outline of possible futures alarmist. He is indeed alarmed. You should be, too.”—The Economist “Potent and evocative. . . . Wallace-Wells has resolved to offer something other than the standard narrative of climate change. . . . He avoids the ‘eerily banal language of climatology’ in favor of lush, rolling prose.”—Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times “The book has potential to be this generation’s Silent Spring.”—The Washington Post “The Uninhabitable Earth, which has become a best seller, taps into the underlying emotion of the day: fear. . . . I encourage people to read this book.”—Alan Weisman, The New York Review of Books

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "An audacious and concrete proposal…Half-Earth completes the 86-year-old Wilson’s valedictory trilogy on the human animal and our place on the planet." —Jedediah Purdy, New Republic In his most urgent book to date, Pulitzer Prize–winning author and world-renowned biologist Edward O. Wilson states that in order to stave off the mass extinction of species, including our own, we must move swiftly to preserve the biodiversity of our planet. In this "visionary blueprint for saving the planet" (Stephen Greenblatt), Half-Earth argues that the situation facing us is too large to be solved piecemeal and proposes a solution commensurate with the magnitude of the problem: dedicate fully half the surface of the Earth to nature. Identifying actual regions of the planet that can still be reclaimed—such as the California redwood forest, the Amazon River basin, and grasslands of the Serengeti, among others—Wilson puts aside the prevailing pessimism of our times and "speaks with a humane eloquence which calls to us all" (Oliver Sacks).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Conch Republic by Steve Godsey is a tale of turmoil, which began with World War II, and continued for centuries as the world evolved and expanded into deep space. Now it is not only humans, but aliens alike, who engage in this struggle to survive. This story takes place in deep space, but is being chronicled by a group secretly known as 'Time Walkers, ' ones who travel through time to any place or time in the galaxy, appearing human in form. They are rumored to have first appeared on Earth to stop an alien assassination plot to kill Adolf Hitler before his rise to power. While the timeline moves all the way to A.D. 3304 in deep space, so much action takes over the centuries, as the story recounts many historic events that played out here on Earth. However, now, a corrupt and greedy Shadow Government has taken over everything. Will the various human and alien empires come together to overthrow this evil, or will the battle rage on until only the strongest survive? About the Author Steve Godsey is a native of Ohio and currently resides in Cincinnati. His interests include travel and sightseeing, as well as reading historical books and watching DVDs. The author's purpose in writing this novel was to encourage present and future generations to take an interest in our planet and its problems before it is too late. It is also his hope that space exploration will continue so that we might know if we are in this galaxy alone, or are there others out there?

Download or read book Undeniable Biblical Proof Jesus Christ Will Return to Planet Earth Exactly 2,000 Years After the Year of His Death written by Gabriel Ansley and published by Hillcrest Publishing Group. This book was released on 2010 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Let me ask you a question you probably never pondered: WHY did God create the world in 6 days? Do you think God had NO logic, motive, or purpose behind using that specific number of days? Do you think He just placed a bunch of numbers in a hat and nonchalantly drew one? Or do you think the cosmos required that number of days to be completed, as if God could not have created it in 2, 3, 5, 9, 12, 23 or however many days? Friend, you should know better...God can DO ANYTHING-which brings us back to the original question. The answer to this mystery is contained in the Bible, and its gradual (albeit, secret) uncovering in story after story leads to the stunning title of this book: "Undeniable Biblical Proof Jesus Christ Will Return To Planet Earth Exactly 2,000 Years After The Year Of His Death." But FAR more important than merely discovering that fact, this book will fully elucidate and crush all confusion concerning what a person (soul) MUST DO to obtain eternal life by illuminating the true spiritual meaning behind every detail of the ancient Bible stories. So sit back and hold on, because this book's message is going to be a life-changing ride!

His two major learning disabilities are gadgetaphobia and general information phobia. He has also been diagnosed with bipolar manic-depression since 2007. He is a graduate of St. George’s University School of Medicine (1983). And previously, in late 1974, worked briefly (as a research assistant) on “Artificial Vision for the Blind,” under the auspices of Dr. William H. Dobelle at the University of Utah. Dr. Dobelle is cited in the 2005 Guinness Book of World Records under the headings of Medical Phenomena and the “earliest successful artificial eye” on page 20. The author also won an award for “academic excellence” in EEG technology from Graphic Controls Corporation and has had six articles published in Speculations in Science and Technology and Medical Hypotheses. He also had books titled How Everyone Could Be Rich, Famous, Etc. and How We’ll All Be Equally Rich, Famous, Brilliant, Etc., Forever published by Trafford in 2006 and 2010, respectively. One of his goals is to play whatever role he can in the conceivable implementation of brain-stimulation-mediated learning facilitation (LF) and work skills facilitation (WF), enhancement and diversification.
