Book excerpt: "On a road trip to Flat Water, the home he fled years before, Monty Marinnis must confront the complex and painful loss that drove him away and now demands his return: family. Called back to California for his sister's wedding, Monty's journey from the Midwest to the California Coast is also a journey through memory, one complicated by the presence of his adoring, but increasingly frustrated wife Charlotte, from whom Monty has concealed the horrifying details of his family's fracture and how he remains haunted by what he witnessed as a teenager. The Marinnis lost their eldest son in a shocking attack, while Monty watched, helpless. Since that day, he has been obsessed with finding an answer to a question that has none: why do bad things happen to some people but not others? Why were the Marinnis selected to suffer? In Flat Water, Monty will be confronted by brutal truths that rise like sharks from the depths. Faced with such realities, Monty will have to choose between acceptance and self-destruction. Jeremy Broyles's Flat Water is a sensorial and emotionally rich exploration of guilt, shame, the burden of secrets, and the possibility of redemption. ~Jenny Irish, Author of I Am Faithful"--

Download or read book The Winding Path To Freedom 5th ed. written by Roman D. Mac and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-07-18 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: in Ukrainian fields and forests in the 1940s and 1950s, but what makes any successful popular insurgency work, whether it takes place in America in 1776 or in troubled parts of the world today. History aside, Roman Mac’s story is also a moving human document. There is tragedy, heartbreak and heroic endurance here, both witnessed and lived. And Roman depicts it all in modest, straightforward style – not only the great struggle that was going on around him, but also the struggle that was going on within himself. We see and feel the rustic joys and travails of village life, the destruction and loss that war, Nazism and Communism bring upon it, and we, too, struggle along the “winding path to freedom” with a young boy who manages to keep his faith, his humanity and – not the least of accomplishments amidst so much suffering and sorrow – his sense of humor through it all. Although I was already familiar with Ukrainian history and, as an aide to Presidents Nixon, Ford and Reagan, was 2 ROMAN D. MAC an eye witness to the last chapters of the Cold War, reading Roman Mac’s story made me understand more fully what that colossal struggle was really like for the ordinary people who bore the brunt of it. His gift of making us see it all as he saw it then, through a young boy’s eyes, brings alive both the brutality of battle and magic, solitary moments in the still forest with only woodland creatures as companions. We feel the pelting snow and piercing cold, we smell the smoke of the campfires, and we hear both the whiz of bullets and the deep, moving chords of the freedom fighters’songs, just as the young Roman Mac did more than half a century ago. Then, with the battle over, we follow a troubled but determined young man on the road to a new life in the west. We share the ups and downs of a new series of trials and tests from which he emerges once again with his humanity – and his humor – intact. By book’s end, we feel as if we’ve walked beside him all the way, and we, too, experience his joy in achieving success, dignity and a happy family life in America. Thank you, Roman Mac, for sharing and showing us so much, and for doing it with such clarity, honesty and goodness of heart.

Book excerpt: “An intimate and deeply human memoir that shows why we should all be concerned about nuclear safety, and the dangers of ignoring science in the name of national security.”—Rebecca Skloot, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks A shocking account of the government’s attempt to conceal the effects of the toxic waste released by a secret nuclear weapons plant in Colorado and a community’s vain search for justice—soon to be a feature documentary Kristen Iversen grew up in a small Colorado town close to Rocky Flats, a secret nuclear weapons plant once designated "the most contaminated site in America." Full Body Burden is the story of a childhood and adolescence in the shadow of the Cold War, in a landscape at once startlingly beautiful and--unknown to those who lived there--tainted with invisible yet deadly particles of plutonium. It's also a book about the destructive power of secrets--both family and government. Her father's hidden liquor bottles, the strange cancers in children in the neighborhood, the truth about what was made at Rocky Flats--best not to inquire too deeply into any of it. But as Iversen grew older, she began to ask questions and discovered some disturbing realities. Based on extensive interviews, FBI and EPA documents, and class-action testimony, this taut, beautifully written book is both captivating and unnerving.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Patrick Geddes is one of the most important figures in planning history, variously presented as an inspiration to regional planning, environmental planning and sustainability, grass-roots planning, citizen democracy, historic preservation, neighbourhood upgrading, university–community partnership, lifelong learning, and co-operative housing. Though well-known and often praised by planning historians, his scholarship extended across a much broader range of disciplines, with extensive publication on biology and on civics, and significant contributions to sociology, economics, geography, education, and the arts and humanities. With the exception of his plan of Dunfermline, published in 1904, his plans are very hard to find. Most of his plans were prepared in India between 1915 and 1923, but beyond brief extracts from four of them included by Jaqueline Tyrwhitt in the book Patrick Geddes in India, they are very difficult to obtain. Some are lost altogether and the remainder are available in a handful of libraries, often held in Archives. Of all the plans prepared after Dunfermline, the most extensive is for the city of Indore, originally published in two volumes that combine a comprehensive scheme for the urban development of the city with a detailed plan for the proposed University of Central India.

Download or read book Exploring the Boundary Waters written by Daniel Pauly and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2013-11-30 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With more than 200,000 visitors annually, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness is among the most alluring wilderness areas in the country, unique because it is most often explored by canoe. Comprised of more than one million acres, the BWCAW is an exceptional combination of expansive wilderness, abundant wildlife, and fascinating natural and human history. Exploring the Boundary Waters is the most comprehensive trip planner to the BWCAW, giving travelers an overview of each entry point into the wilderness area as well as detailed descriptions of more than one hundred specific routes—including a ranking of their difficulty level and maps that feature the major waterways, portages, and the designated campsites. The book is crafted so that readers can design their own route through the almost inexhaustible network of lakes and streams. Daniel Pauly, Boundary Waters expert, worked with the U.S. Forest Service, the Minnesota DNR, and local outfitters to collect and present crucial information here: instructions on about how to obtain a permit, the rules and regulations of the park, safety tips, and suggestions about how to help maintain the ecological integrity of the wilderness. As engaging as it is informative, Exploring the Boundary Waters not only contributes advice on the pros and cons of each route, but also brings the reader a natural and historical context for the journey by offering insight into the pictographs, mining sites, logging railroads, and ruins one may encounter on an expedition. With its accessible and personal style, Exploring the Boundary Waters is the perfect guide for anyone—novice or seasoned veteran—arranging a trip to the BWCAW. A companion Web site for this book, http://www.boundarywatersguide.com, presents useful information that can be downloaded for planning a trip, including gear lists, overview maps, and route updates.

Download or read book The Butterfly Bard written by Verity Jenkins and published by Mark Jenkins. This book was released on 2021-05-01 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ray and her friend Becky are devastated by what they see. Tens of thousands of Monarchs are clinging to the sand along the shores of Lake Erie with their wings shredded and broken by the harsh storm. They work throughout the night collecting and bringing thousands of monarchs into Ray’s cottage, so they can continue their epic migration after the storm has passed. The death of her friend Becky to a rare form of cancer spirals Ray into depression. Finally, Ray leaves her room and heads into nature where life is flourishing all around her. Her curiosity returns as she opens a milkweed pod. Remembering the Monarchs that she and Becky saved last summer gives Ray an idea for her next big adventure. Using a little deception, Ray convinces Jordi, to fly her in his two-seater ultralight, in the midst of the Monarchs all the way down the spine of North America to their overwintering place in Mexico. Every place the Monarchs touch down along their migration path, Ray and Jordi are introduced to a compelling lesson along the Butterfly Way. It’s almost as though the Monarchs are teaching them a new way of seeing, experiencing and moving in the world around them. On route over Texas, Ray & Jordi discover that a nuclear missile test launch will occur in the exact spot where every Monarch flyway on the planet is converging. They are the only ones to know that an ecocide is about to take place. Then can’t redirect this many Monarchs and so it’s up to them to stop the test launch. From the cockpit of the Qbee they go online to Monarch Watch, the Sierra Club and radio the Dyess Airforce Base Commander. Flying straight into the missile’s path, with just seven seconds left before blast off, their fate is now intertwined with the Monarchs. They discover the power of advocacy and social networks and how rigid the hierarchy of command is. In adventure after adventure, flying alongside and landing with the Monarchs, Ray and her co-pilot face real-world perils, like narcotic trafficking, and yet all along the Butterfly Way they find good people risking themselves to redeem a broken world. Travel with Ray and Jordi as they gain the skills and awareness needed to take care of this fiercely beautiful planet.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report represents the second volume of the Cultural Landscape Report (CLR) for the Historic Hiking Trail System of Mount Desert Island. This volume focuses more specifically on the 103 marked, maintained trails within the park, which extend over 118 miles (See Appendix B). This report is the culmination of several years of research, analysis, field inventory, and documentation necessary to synthesize voluminous information about the island’s extensive trail system. The intended audience for this document includes individuals who are extremely familiar with Acadia’s trails and are involved in the planning process as well as those who may be unfamiliar with the trail system and/or trail construction in general but may be involved in future trail rehabilitation efforts. As a result, this document relies heavily on graphics to complement and enhance the narrative. Numerous photographs and sketches are included to clarify the text, illustrate historic and existing conditions, and provide examples of both acceptable and unacceptable usage of specific trail features.

Download or read book The Chinese Garden written by Bianca Maria Rinaldi and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-11-05 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With their centuries-long development, the English landscape garden, the formal French garden, as well Japanese and Chinese gardens constitute an unparalleled repository of design solutions familiar throughout the world. They are frequently drawn upon as reference works, but often in a piecemeal and haphazard fashion and from botanical or art-historical vantage points. That is where the books of this new series come in. They present the various garden types from the perspective of contemporary landscape and garden design. Starting from the formidable beauty of the world’s most distinguished gardens, they point the way toward the essential compositional principles, the plants most commonly utilized and their most characteristic uses, and the possibilities for employing them in contemporary projects, thus providing readers with a rich source of inspiration for their own designs and creations. The panorama of "The Chinese Garden" stretches from the surviving historical gardens all the way to such modern examples as the garden at the Bank of China in Hong Kong (designed by I. M. Pei), Ai Weiwei’s Yiwu Riverbank Park, the Garden of Flowering Fragrance in the Los Angeles, California, region and the Garden of Awakening Orchids in Portland, Oregon.
