Though once common, well-informed travel books to the Middle East with a broad academic interest and a specific focus have become rare.

Book Synopsis Footprints in Stone by : Mohammed Azher Siddiqui
Download or read book Footprints in Stone written by Mohammed Azher Siddiqui and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-12-28 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Those that follow international migration commonly agree on the fact that the late twentieth century has been the age of migration. However, human migration started about two million years ago and continues to the present. The author hails from India and immigrated to the United States in the late twentieth century. Researching his ancestors' migration patterns led to the interesting but not surprising discovery that they, too, migrated to India from different parts of the world. Migration impacts culture, and that effect is captured in some period photographs that are part of this book. Footprints in stone, however, is not just about the past. It also speaks to contemporary life in the United States of America and then ventures to look to the future to what could be possible if we take care of the myriad challenges that humans face in the first quarter of the twenty-first century. The readers of Footprints in stone in 2089 will hopefully gain from reading about the past, but they will be the only ones to see if the author's predictions were accurate.

Book Synopsis Jesus: His Story in Stone by : Mike Mason
Download or read book Jesus: His Story in Stone written by Mike Mason and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2017-09-25 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jesus: His Story in Stone is a reflection on still-existing stone objects that Jesus would have known, seen, or even touched. Each of the seventy short chapters is accompanied by a photograph taken on location in Israel. Arranged chronologically, the one-page meditations compose a portrait of Christ as seen through the significant stones in His life, from the cave where He was born to the rock of Calvary. While packed with historical and archaeological detail, the book’s main thrust is devotional, leading the reader both spiritually and physically closer to Jesus.
Download or read book Footprints written by David Farrier and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A profound meditation on climate change and the Anthropocene and an urgent search for the fossils—industrial, chemical, geological—that humans are leaving behind What will the world look like in ten thousand years—or ten million? What kinds of stories will be told about us? In Footprints: In Search of Future Fossils, the award-winning author David Farrier explores the traces we will leave for the very distant future. Modern civilization has created objects and landscapes with the potential to endure through deep time, whether it is plastic polluting the oceans and nuclear waste sealed within the earth or the 30 million miles of roads spanning the planet. Our carbon could linger in the atmosphere for 100,000 years, and the remains of our cities will still exist millions of years from now as a layer in the rock. These future fossils have the potential to reveal much about how we lived in the twenty-first century. Crossing the boundaries of literature, art, and science, Footprints invites us to think about how we will be remembered in the myths and stories of our distant descendants. Traveling from the Baltic Sea to the Great Barrier Reef, and from an ice-core laboratory in Tasmania to Shanghai, one of the world’s biggest cities, Farrier describes a world that is changing rapidly, with consequences beyond the scope of human understanding. As much a message of hope as a warning, Footprints will not only alter how you think about the future; it will change how you see the world today.
Book Synopsis Never Rest on Your Ores by : Norman B. Keevil
Download or read book Never Rest on Your Ores written by Norman B. Keevil and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2023-04-15 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than a century ago, a prospector discovered gold at Ontario’s Kirkland Lake and a son was born to British immigrants in Saskatchewan. The boy – Norman Bell Keevil – went on to become a renowned scientist, teacher, and prospector, discovering a small but high-grade copper mine in Ontario. Parlaying that into control of the Kirkland Lake gold mine fifty years later, he formed the fledgling mining company Teck Corporation. In Never Rest on Your Ores Keevil’s son Norman, also a geoscientist, recounts how over the next fifty years, a growing team of like-minded engineers and entrepreneurs built Canada’s largest diversified mining company. In candid detail he tells the story of a company and its makers, of the discovery and creation of mines, of the mechanics of industry financing, and of the role that mergers and acquisitions play in a volatile environment. Along the way he meets fascinating captains of industry and politicians not only in Canada, but in the United States and around the world. Finding an ore body – rock that holds valuable metals and minerals – and promoting its development in order to finance and create a mine, most often in hard-to-access wilderness, is complicated work, comparable to locating and extracting a needle in a very messy haystack. Underlying this history is a constant need to replenish the ore, and this need drives the people involved. Drawing new lessons from the turbulent period between 2005 and 2023, this new edition of Never Rest on Your Ores is both entertaining and instructive, a rare insider’s account of an industry that has been crucial to the building of this country.

Book Synopsis Reading Prehistoric Human Tracks by : Andreas Pastoors
Download or read book Reading Prehistoric Human Tracks written by Andreas Pastoors and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Open Access book explains that after long periods of prehistoric research in which the importance of the archaeological as well as the natural context of rock art has been constantly underestimated, research has now begun to take this context into focus for documentation, analysis, interpretation and understanding. Human footprints are prominent among the long-time under-researched features of the context in caves with rock art. In order to compensate for this neglect an innovative research program has been established several years ago that focuses on the merging of indigenous knowledge and western archaeological science for the benefit of both sides. The book gathers first the methodological diversity in the analysis of human tracks. Here major representatives of anthropological, statistical and traditional approaches feature the multi-layered methods available for the analysis of human tracks. Second it compiles case studies from around the globe of prehistoric human tracks. For the first time, the most important sites which have been found worldwide are published in a single publication. The third focus of this book is on firsthand experiences of researchers with indigenous tracking experts from around the globe, expounding on how archaeological sciencecan benefit from the ancestral knowledge. This book will be of interest to professional archaeologists, graduate students, ecologists, cultural anthropologists and laypeople, especially those focussing on hunting-gathering and pastoralist communities and who appreciate indigenous knowledge.--

Book excerpt: Adventure awaits as you ride along on the journey of a lifetime as best-selling author and explorer Dr. Jim Rankin takes you from Israel, to Egypt, to Ethiopia, and back as you will witness, follow, see, and feel the power of the Messiah in this docu-story of the Footprints of Jesus: Crushed in Stone. This adventure becomes real as you will witness the prophecy of the Old Testament come true as Jesus makes His way from out of Israel to fulfill the telling of the prophets, and then complete the hidden purpose of this journey as a boy. Ride along on this exploration to reveal the true story of Jesus coming into Egypt, the events that occurred, the people involved, and the footprints He left behind. Find out why Joseph's role was so important in the fulfillment of this quest, and finally, see the remnants of Jesus' divinity crushed into stone in an act of "completeness," as to say "It is finished!" This exploration will be a great adventure to bring you closer to feeling the truth in God's Word than ever before, and see the finality in each step of Jesus' walk on this Earth. Dr. Jim Rankin is an accomplished biblical explorer, pastor, dynamic speaker, and best-selling author. With his incredible expeditions into the truth of the Bible, Rankin has opened the doors to biblical reality, and he has become a popular guest on international Christian television. He has been described by Pastor Bobby Schuller (and others) as "A real-life modern-day Indiana Jones," and has dedicated his life to locating the truths of the Bible, while sharing the gospel around the world. After reading about his adventure, and hearing Dr. Rankin speak, one pastor said, "He's a Spirit-filled dynamic speaker that has lived these adventures, and the truth can be felt rumbling out of him." When not in some faraway biblical exploration, Jim and his wife Sherri also enjoy the Florida sunshine, traveling the U.S. researching American history, and spending time with their children and grandchildren.
