Book Synopsis Friends in Wild Places by : Ruskin Bond
Download or read book Friends in Wild Places written by Ruskin Bond and published by Speaking Tiger Books. This book was released on 2015-12-03 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since he was a young boy, Ruskin Bond has made friends easily. And some of the most rewarding and lasting friendships he has known have been with animals, birds and plants-big and small; outgoing and shy. This collection focuses on these companions and brings together his finest essays and stories, both classic and new. There are leopards and tigers, wise old forest oaks and geraniums on sunny balconies, a talking parrot and a tomcat called Suzie, bears in the mountains and kingfishers in Delhi, a family of langurs and a lonely bat-and many more 'wild' friends, some of an instant, others of several years. Beautifully illustrated by Shubhadarshini Singh, this is a gift for nature-and book-lovers of all ages.

Book excerpt: From the author of The Old Ways and Underland, an "eloquent (and compulsively readable) reminder that, though we're laying waste the world, nature still holds sway over much of the earth's surface." --Bill McKibben Winner of the Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature and a finalist for the Orion Book Award Are there any genuinely wild places left in Britain and Ireland? That is the question that Robert Macfarlane poses to himself as he embarks on a series of breathtaking journeys through some of the archipelago's most remarkable landscapes. He climbs, walks, and swims by day and spends his nights sleeping on cliff-tops and in ancient meadows and wildwoods. With elegance and passion he entwines history, memory, and landscape in a bewitching evocation of wildness and its vital importance.

Book excerpt: At the beginning of his memoir Life Lived Wild, Adventures at the Edge of the Map, Rick Ridgeway tells us that if you add up all his many expeditions, he’s spent over five years of his life sleeping in tents: “And most of that in small tents pitched in the world’s most remote regions.” It’s not a boast so much as an explanation. Whether at elevation or raising a family back at sea level, those years taught him, he writes, “to distinguish matters of consequence from matters of inconsequence.” He leaves it to his readers, though, to do the final sort of which is which."--Amazon.

Book excerpt: Intuition was something that Laura Chamorro knew not to ignore. So when it told her to change her name to Stella Osorojos, she listened—and that’s when things started to get strange. Following the I Ching, kabbalah teachers, channeled masters from Earth and beyond, and her own premonitions and dreams, Osorojos embarked on a remarkable journey of spiritual awakening and self-discovery. Whether receiving extraterrestrial visitations in her living room, sprouting ethereal wings while meditating, struggling with her desire to have a child, or traveling to the high mountains of Peru to visit Altomisayok shamans, Osorojos describes her unusual experiences with wry humor and unflinching honesty. Revealing startling insights into spirituality and the nature of reality itself, Star Sister is a testament to the possibilities that await anyone brave enough to trust in intuition, challenge preconceptions, and keep an open mind.

Book Synopsis The Last Wild Places of Kansas by : George Frazier
Download or read book The Last Wild Places of Kansas written by George Frazier and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2017-02-16 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the last wild bison found refuge on the back of a nickel, the public image of natural Kansas has progressed from Great American Desert to dust bowl to flyover country that has been landscaped, fenced, and farmed. But look a little harder, George Frazier suggests, and you can find the last places where tenacious stretches of prairie, forest, and wetland cheat death and incubate the DNA of lost, wild America. Documenting three years spent roaming the state in search of these hidden treasures, The Last Wild Places of Kansas is Frazier's idiosyncratic and eye-opening travelogue of nature's secret holdouts in the Sunflower State. These are places where extirpated mammalian species are making comebacks; where flying squirrels leap between centuries-old trees lit by the unearthly green glow of foxfire; where cold springs feed ancient watercress pools; where the ice moon paints the Smoky Hills with memories of the buffalo, wolf, and the lonesome rattle of false indigo; where the blue lid of the sky forms a vacuum seal over treeless pastel hills, orange in winter; where bluestem rises. Some are impossible to find on maps. Most are magnificently bereft of anything beneficial to 99.9 percent of modern America. True wildernesses they may not be, but at the correct angle of light, when the wind blows pollen carrying biological memories of the glaciers, these places are a crack between the worlds, portals to the lost buffalo wilderness. En route Frazier takes us from the unexpected wilds of the Kansas City suburbs to the Cimarron National Grassland in the far southwestern corner of the state. He visits ancient springs, shares a beer with prairie dog hunters, and fails in his mission to canoe the upper Marais des Cygnes—a trip that requires permission from every landowner on the route. Along the way we encounter a host of curious characters—ranchers, farmers, Native Americans, explorers, wildlife experts, and outdoor enthusiasts—all fellow travelers in a quest to know, preserve, and share the last wild places of Kansas.
Download or read book The Life of Shabkar written by and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2001-02-06 with total page 1649 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Life of Shabkar has long been recognized by Tibetans as one of the masterworks of their religious heritage. Shabkar Tsogdruk Rangdrol devoted himself to many years of meditation in solitary retreat after his inspired youth and early training in the province of Amdo under the guidance of several extraordinary Buddhist masters. With determination and courage, he mastered the highest and most esoteric practices of the Tibetan tradition of the Great Perfection. He then wandered far and wide over the Himalayan region expressing his realization. Shabkar's autobiography vividly reflects the values and visionary imagery of Tibetan Buddhism, as well as the social and cultural life of early nineteenth-century Tibet.

Book Synopsis A Wilder Time by : William E. Glassley
Download or read book A Wilder Time written by William E. Glassley and published by Bellevue Literary Press. This book was released on 2018-02-13 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JOHN BURROUGHS MEDAL FOR DISTINGUISHED NATURAL HISTORY BOOK A scientist experiences primordial wonders and the wisdom of solitude in one of Earth’s wildest and most endangered places Greenland, one of the last truly wild places, contains a treasure trove of information on Earth’s early history embedded in its pristine landscape. Over numerous seasons, William E. Glassley and two fellow geologists traveled there to collect samples and observe rock formations for evidence to prove a contested theory that plate tectonics, the movement of Earth’s crust over its molten core, is a much more ancient process than some believed. As their research drove the scientists ever farther into regions barely explored by humans for millennia—if ever—Glassley encountered wondrous creatures and natural phenomena that gave him unexpected insight into the origins of myth, the virtues and boundaries of science, and the importance of seeking the wilderness within. An invitation to experience a breathtaking place and the fascinating science behind its creation, A Wilder Time is nature writing at its best.
