Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Moses is probably the most important figure in the Old Testament of the Bible. Born into a Hebrew family, he was rescued from a cruel death and raised in the court of the Pharaoh. But after killing an Egyptian, he fled into the desert. Many years later, God appeared to him in the form of a burning bush. He ordered Moses to go back to Egypt and lead the Hebrews out of bondage and into the Promised Land. It wasn't easy. The Hebrews spent many years wandering in the desert, during which time Moses received the Ten Commandments twice. He smashed the stone tablets on which they were inscribed the first time because the Hebrews had begun worshiping a golden calf during his absence. Despite all the difficulties and the dangers, Moses' determined leadership finally brought his people to the Promised Land. He died before he could accompany his fellow Hebrews into their new home.

Book Synopsis Along the River that Flows Uphill by : Richard Starks
Download or read book Along the River that Flows Uphill written by Richard Starks and published by Haus Pub.. This book was released on 2009 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Along The River that Flows Uphill weaves the story of an Amazon journey with science, math and reason to explore the risks that are inherent in adventure travel. In 2005, Geographical - the official magazine of the Royal Geographical Society in London - commissioned authors Richard Starks and Miriam Murcutt to write an article about a strange river in Venezuela called the Casiquiare. This river - once the source of great controversy until it was explored by Alexander von Humboldt - is like no other, since it joins two, otherwise-separate river systems, the Orinoco and the Amazon, by apparently flowing up and over the watershed that divides them.Rivers are not meant to do that. For Richard Starks - an award-winning journalist, author and traveler - the writing commission offered a chance to test himself against the standards set by his childhood explorer-heroes - men like Burton, Speke, Livingstone and Stanley. For Miriam Murcutt - a writer, editor and former marketing executive - it represented a chance for adventure. The two writers hired a boat and a guide to take them 1,000 miles up the Orinoco and along the Casiquiare to the Rio Negro, which flows into the Amazon. They expected to travel only with their guide, but once on board his boat, they found he'd brought along his extended family, as well as a group of researchers that included a young and overly persistent entomologist. A few days into the journey, the boat took on another passenger - a Yanomami Indian from a primitive tribe that is reputedly among 'the most violent people on Earth'. Further up river, FARC guerillas tried to hold the authors for ransom when they strayed over the border into Columbia. Along the River that Flows Uphill is more than an account of the authors' journey. It blends their travels with the contentious history and peculiar geography of the Casiquiare. And it examines the society and culture of the Yanomami Indians who live alongside it. The book is also a story of self-discovery. And it assesses risk - not just the risk that's part of all adventure travel, but also, by extension, the risk that's inherent in the adventure of life.

Book Synopsis Reading the River by : Amanda Boetzkes
Download or read book Reading the River written by Amanda Boetzkes and published by Gaia Project. This book was released on 2017-10-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The importance of water for all life on our planet is the point of departure for the work of eminent American eco-artist, Basia Irland (b. 1946). In her pioneering inter-disciplinary practice she focuses on rivers and watersheds, water scarcity, climate change, ecological restoration and waterborne diseases. Her poetic, socially-engaged work endeavours to reconnect people with their local waterways in order to foster care, appreciation and responsibility. The objects the artist creates are often reliquaries of actions. They contain the memories of participatory projects dedicated to the mutual interconnectedness of people and all phenomena within the cosmos. Many works bear witness to a nomadic worldview with a deep understanding of different cultures. This extensive publication encompasses over 30 years of Irland's work, and includes essays by ecologists, art historians and notable curators such as Lucy Lippard and Amanda Boetzkes.

Book excerpt: In 1992 landmark federal legislation called for the removal of two dams from the Elwha River to restore salmon runs. Jeff Crane dives into the debate over development and ecological preservation inFinding the River,presenting a long-term environmental and human history of the river as well as a unique look at river reconstruction. Finding the Riverexamines the ways that different communities--from the Lower Elwha Klallam Indians to current-day residents--have used the river and its resources, giving close attention to the harnessing of the Elwha for hydroelectric production and the resulting decline of its fisheries. Jeff Crane describes efforts begun in the 1980s to remove the dams and restore the salmon. He explores the rise of a river restoration movement in the late twentieth century and the roles that free-flowing rivers could play in preserving salmon as global warming presents another set of threats to these endangered fish. A significant and timely contribution to American Western and environmental history--removal of the two Elwha River dams is scheduled to begin in September 2011--Finding the Riverwill be of interest to historians, to environmentalists, and to fisheries biologists, as well as to general readers interested in the Puget Sound and Olympic Peninsula and environmental issues

Book Synopsis Woman in the Wilderness by : Miriam Lancewood
Download or read book Woman in the Wilderness written by Miriam Lancewood and published by Allen & Unwin. This book was released on 2017-03-29 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Woman in the Wilderness is an intriguing and mesmerizing book.' Ben Fogle It tells how one woman learned to dig deep and push the boundaries in order to discover what really matters in life. Miriam is a young Dutch woman living in the heart of the mountains with her New Zealand husband. She lives simply in a tent or hut, and survives by hunting wild animals and foraging edible plants, relying on only minimal supplies. For the last six years she has lived this way, through all seasons, often cold, hungry and isolated in the bush. She loves her life and feels free, connected to the land, and happy. There's a lot of drama out there in the wild, and Miriam knows how to spin a good yarn. This is a gripping and engaging read reminiscent of both adventure writing like Wild and nature writing like H is for Hawk, and is perfect for anyone exploring the idea of living a more authentic, real life. 'My life is free, random and spontaneous. This in itself creates enormous energy and clarity in body and mind.' Miriam Lancewood
