Book excerpt: As The Giving Tree turns fifty, this timeless classic is available for the first time ever in ebook format. This digital edition allows young readers and lifelong fans to continue the legacy and love of a classic that will now reach an even wider audience. "Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy." So begins a story of unforgettable perception, beautifully written and illustrated by the gifted and versatile Shel Silverstein. This moving parable for all ages offers a touching interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return. Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk...and the tree was happy.

Shel Silverstein's incomparable career as a bestselling children's book author and illustrator began with Lafcadio, the Lion Who Shot Back. He is also the creator of picture books including A Giraffe and a Half, Who Wants a Cheap Rhinoceros?, The Missing Piece, The Missing Piece Meets the Big O, and the perennial favorite The Giving Tree, and of classic poetry collections such as Where the Sidewalk Ends, A Light in the Attic, Falling Up, Every Thing On It, Don't Bump the Glump!, and Runny Babbit.

Download or read book The Loving Tree written by Bruce Frazer and published by . This book was released on 2014-12-03 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matt Jenkins had returned from Vietnam a wounded and reluctant hero. Although, his physical wounds heal, his mental wounds would linger for many years. Matt's father Eli, a veteran of World War II, struggles desperately to hold his family together, while searching for the key to prevent his son from certain tragedy. As Matt battles his demons, we are taken on an incredible journey, from the depths of hopelessness to a triumphant ending. Bruce Frazer and his wife reside in the beautiful Shenandoah Valley of Virginia. His interest in writing developed one day when his daughter, knowing he no longer had a hobby, dared him to write a book. As he was always prone to a good argument or discussion, writing seemed a natural outlet for his imagination and ideas. Creating a tale that will allow the reader to empathize with the characters in a story is his foremost objective. "If you can imagine yourself as a character in the novel, then the writer has done his or her job." In addition to writing, he enjoys gardening, playing with "Copper," the family dog, remodeling his home, and going for drives with his wife in their antique, 1968 Triumph TR250.
Book Synopsis To Know as I Am Known: The Communion of the Saints and the Ontology of Love by : Mark McLeod-Harrison
Download or read book To Know as I Am Known: The Communion of the Saints and the Ontology of Love written by Mark McLeod-Harrison and published by Vernon Press. This book was released on 2019-02-05 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The doctrine of the communion of the saints is central in the spiritual lives and theology of millions of Christians. However, it has been neglected by much recent philosophical scholarship. ‘To know as I am known’ addresses this oversight by offering a contemporary analysis of this venerated doctrine. By taking two related puzzles inherent in the doctrine itself, McLeod-Harrison explores and reflects on not only the communion of the saints but also on the ontology of love. Divided into five parts, this book provides an account of human nature and sin, before suggesting a way of thinking of love that is rooted both in the doctrine of the Trinity and in the thought of several contemporary analytic thinkers along with Dostoyevsky, Eckerd, Royce. While the integral issues of the doctrine are related to the “why-be-moral” problem, McLeod-Harrison shows that the challenges of the doctrine arise from the unique nature of agape (divine love). Thus, the communion of the saints comes through the challenges intact with a plausible interpretation of saintly motivation and human solidarity. Born out of 20 years of thought, this essential and sophisticated reflection serves as an important contribution to the field of the philosophy of religion that will inspire and engage students, scholars, and Christians, alike.
Book Synopsis Gardening with Native Plants of the South by : Sally Wasowski
Download or read book Gardening with Native Plants of the South written by Sally Wasowski and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-02-20 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today’s South, where fine gardening is a tradition, many homeowners and professional gardeners are discovering a vast “new” palette of plant materials—native plants. They are realizing that these native wildflowers, trees, shrubs, groundcovers, vines, and grasses are far better suited, and therefore easier to grow and maintain, than most of the imported plants that populate traditional landscapes. In this book, the authors offer an exciting vision of the many possibilities and advantages of “going native.” Lavishly illustrated with more than 250 gorgeous color photographs, this book is both an introduction to more than 200 of the most familiar and easiest-to-find native plants of the South and a basic primer on how to use them effectively.

This book was released on 2009-03-30 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "David Quammen is simply the best natural essayist working today."--Tim Cahill, author of Lost in My Own Backyard "Lively writing about science and nature depends less on the offering of good answers, I think, than on the offering of good questions," said David Quammen in the original introduction to Natural Acts. For more than two decades, he has stuck to that credo. In this updated version of curiosity leads him from New Mexico to Romania, from the Congo to the Amazon, asking questions about mosquitoes (what are their redeeming merits?), dinosaurs (how did they change the life of a dyslexic Vietnam vet?), and cloning (can it save endangered species?). This revised and expanded edition best-loved "Natural Acts" columns, which first appeared in Outside magazine in the early 1980s, and includes recent pieces such as "Planet of Weeds," an influential new Natural Acts is an eye-opening journey that will please both Quammen fans and newcomers to his work. Song lyrics have been redacted from this ebook owing to permissions issues.

Book Synopsis Systems Out of Balance by : Kirk D. Sinclair
Download or read book Systems Out of Balance written by Kirk D. Sinclair and published by Hillcrest Publishing Group. This book was released on 2009-07 with total page 564 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between the relative economic stability of the sixties and our troubled times now, the American Dream has become more Dream than American. Our economy is based on greed instead of merit. Our political system eschews wisdom for authoritarianism. Our cultural system promotes idolatry over harmony. We, the middle class, could blame this shift on recent events, but the reality is that the corruption of our economic, political, and cultural systems is far more insidious and deeply ingrained than we are led to believe. These trusted systems have become unbalanced. We have been active -- if not conscious -- participants of this decline, and we must now wake up. If the Iraq War and the market crisis of 2008 have taught us nothing else, we must learn the importance of recognizing when we are being misinformed. We must learn to think critically, sifting through the information that bombards us daily and separating fact from misinformation. Kirk D. Sinclair, PHD, approaches these complex and initially overwhelming concepts with the clear and thoughtful mind of a scientist. He scrutinizes, untangles, and exposes the issues, banishing doublespeak designed to make us complicit and encouraging us to step up and take responsibility for the systems that so dominate our lives. With this collection of intelligent, comprehensive essays, Sinclair has broken down the problems many of us did not even know we had. Systems Out of Balance: How Misinformation Hurts the Middle Class will arm you with valuable knowledge and an increased understanding of our social systems, how they affect our lives, and what you can do to restore the balance. The time to truly exercise our liberty is now.
Book Synopsis The Climate Optimist Handbook by : Anne Therese Gennari
Download or read book The Climate Optimist Handbook written by Anne Therese Gennari and published by The Climate Optimist LLC. This book was released on 2022-10-17 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you find the courage to choose positive change in uncertain times? How do you spread optimism to people concerned about the future but who feel too overwhelmed to know how to act? Anne Therese Gennari has been seeking the answers to those questions most of her life, and in The Climate Optimist Handbook, she offers encouragement, wisdom, and practical tools to help us let go of fear and the dismal truth of today to build toward a world that can be better and more beautiful than anything we've yet seen. That future starts with shifting the narrative on climate change so we can act from courage and excitement, not fear. We must let go of the guilt and responsibility we feel to save the planet and move into a place of opportunity, optimism, and hope. We should act not because it's our duty, but because we recognize the beautiful and exciting opportunity we have to participate in the shift toward an even better world. The Climate Change Optimist Handbook will guide you through that shift to become your own source of optimism. You will learn the psychological reasons we aren't acting more on climate change and gain tools and mindset tips to model positive change in your community and home. A grounded and resilient leader is waiting to be born inside you-one who doesn't just believe a better world is possible, but who is eager and excited to do everything possible to make that world a reality.

Download or read book Twelve Trees written by Daniel Lewis and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2024-03-12 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling global exploration of nature and survival as seen via a dozen species of trees that represent the challenges facing our planet, and the ways that scientists are working urgently to save our forests and our future. The world today is undergoing the most rapid environmental transformation in human history—from climate change to deforestation. Scientists, ethnobotanists, indigenous peoples, and collectives of all kinds are closely studying trees and their biology to understand how and why trees function individually and collectively in the ways they do. In Twelve Trees, Daniel Lewis, curator and historian at one of the world’s most renowned research libraries, travels the world to learn about these trees in their habitats. Lewis takes us on a sweeping journey to plant breeding labs, botanical gardens, research facilities, deep inside museum collections, to the tops of tall trees, underwater, and around the Earth, journeying into the deserts of the American west and the deep jungles of Peru, to offer a globe-spanning perspective on the crucial impact trees have on our entire planet. When a once-common tree goes extinct in the wild but survives in a botanical garden, what happens next? How can scientists reconstruct lost genomes and habitats? How does a tree store thousands of gallons of water, or offer up perfectly preserved insects from millions of years ago, or root itself in muddy swamps and remain standing? How does a 5,000-year-old tree manage to live, and what can we learn from it? And how can science account for the survival of one species at the expense of others? To study the science of trees is to study not just the present, but the story of the world, its past, and its future. Note—species include: * The Lost Tree of Easter Island (Sophora toromiro) * The coast redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) * Hymenaea protera [a fossil tree] * The Longleaf pine (Pinus palustris) * East Indian sandalwood (Santanum album) * The Bristlecone pine (Pinus longaeva) * West African ebony (Diospyros crassiflora) * The Tasmanian blue gum eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus) * Olive tree (Olea europaea) * Baobab (Adansonia digitata) * the kapok tree (Ceiba pentandra) * The bald cypress (Taxodium distichum)
