At home, Cory worries that less-than-perfect grades aren’t good enough for her parents, who already work overtime to support her distant half-brother in the Philippines.

Book Synopsis Underwater Wild by : Craig Foster (Filmmaker)
Download or read book Underwater Wild written by Craig Foster (Filmmaker) and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2021 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Craig Foster and Ross Frylinck regularly dive together in the awe-inspiring kelp forests off South Africa, without wetsuits or oxygen tanks. Craig had dived this way for years, including alongside the octopus that inspired My Octopus Teacher. In Ross, he found a kindred spirit, someone who also embraced the ancient methods of acclimating his body to frigid waters, but whose eyes had not yet adjusted to the transcendent wonder Craig saw each time they dove. In the heart-wrenching stories that make up this unforgettable book, we swim alongside Ross as he grows from skeptic to student of the underwater wild. And in the revelatory marine science behind the stunning photos, we learn how to track sea hares, cuttlefish, and limpets, and we witness strange new behaviors never before documented in marine biology. We realize that a whole world of wonder, and an innate wildness within us all, emerge anew when we simply observe. "--publisher's website.

But Morgan can't move on. She can't even move beyond the front door of the apartment she shares with her mother and little brother. Morgan feels like she's underwater, unable to surface. Unable to see her friends. Unable to go to school. When it seems Morgan can't hold her breath any longer, a new boy moves in next door.

Download or read book Underwater Dogs written by Seth Casteel and published by Little, Brown. This book was released on 2012-10-23 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exuberant, exhilarating photographs of dogs underwater that have become a sensation From the water's surface, it's a simple exercise: a dog's leap, a splash, and then a wet head surfacing with a ball, triumphant. But beneath the water is a chaotic ballet of bared teeth and bubbles, paddling paws, fur and ears billowing in the currents. From leaping Lab to diving Dachshund, the water is where a dog's distinct personality shines through; some lounge in the current, paddling slowly, but others arch their bodies to cut through the water with the focus and determination of a shark. In more than eighty portraits, award-winning pet photographer and animal rights activist Seth Casteel captures new sides of our old friends with vibrant underwater photography that makes it impossible to look away. Each image bubbles with exuberance and life, a striking reminder that even in the most loveable and domesticated dog, there are more primal forces at work. In Underwater Dogs, Seth Casteel gives playful and energetic testament to the rough-and-tumble joy that our dogs bring into our lives.

Download or read book The Girl Who Could Breathe Under Water written by Erin Bartels and published by Revell. This book was released on 2022-01-04 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best fiction simply tells the truth. But the truth is never simple. When novelist Kendra Brennan moves into her grandfather's old cabin on Hidden Lake, she has a problem and a plan. The problem? An inflammatory letter from A Very Disappointed Reader. The plan? To confront Tyler, her childhood best friend's brother--and the man who inspired the antagonist in her first book. If she can prove that she told the truth about what happened during those long-ago summers, perhaps she can put the letter's claims to rest and meet the swiftly approaching deadline for her next book. But what she discovers as she delves into the murky past is not what she expected. While facing Tyler isn't easy, facing the consequences of her failed friendship with his sister, Cami, may be the hardest thing she's ever had to do. Plumb the depths of the human heart with this emotional exploration of how a friendship dies, how we can face the unforgivable, and how even those who have been hurt can learn to love with abandon. Praise for the novels of Erin Bartels "Bartels proves herself a master wordsmith and storyteller."--Library Journal starred review of All That We Carried "A story of love found in the written word and love found because of the written word."--Booklist on The Words between Us "A deeply moving story of heartbreak, long-held secrets, and the bonds of family."--Publishers Weekly starred review of We Hope for Better Things

But Willy Blunt was not a person you could pick up in Nebraska and transport to Stanford. When Judith left home, she didn't look back. Twenty years later, Judith's marriage is hazy with secrets. In her hand is what may be the phone number for the man who believed she meant it when she said she loved him. If she called, what would he say?

Book Synopsis A Life Underwater by : Charlie Veron
Download or read book A Life Underwater written by Charlie Veron and published by Penguin Group Australia. This book was released on 2017-07-17 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hailed by David Attenborough, proclaimed a second Charles Darwin, John 'Charlie' Veron almost didn't become a scientist. Disheartened at school, by chance he won a scholarship to a university where he could indulge his passion for the natural world. It was scuba diving that returned him to his childhood love of marine life, and led to a career as a self-taught coral specialist, a field he revolutionised. His discoveries include an original concept of what a species is, and the mechanism that dives their evolution – matters that lie at the heart of conservation. He has named more coral species than anyone in history, becoming widely known as the Godfather of Coral. Charlie has dived most of the world’s coral reefs, revelling in their beauty. Here he explains what they say about our planet’s past and future, and why it’s critical they be protected. And also why it’s critical that scholarly independence be safeguarded, for it was the freedom Charlie had as a young scientist – to be wayward, to take risks – that allowed his astonishing breakthroughs. 'Charlie Veron isn’t just a coral scientist, he’s a pathfinder, a scout who’s been sending back dispatches on the future of our planet for decades. If ever there was a moment for Australians to listen up and act on what he’s learnt, it’s now.' Tim Winton ‘Charlie Veron is a ravishing writer. He shares Darwin’s passionate love of nature, forensic brilliance, courage and compassion. His gritty, inspiring and thrilling life symbolises why we must all work to save our planet’s most spectacular marine environment.’ Iain McCalman ‘This is the story of one of my heroes, not just a world expert but someone who has been fearless in trying to protect a natural wonder. And to think he became a marine scientist by chance. Charlie’s story reads with flair, clarity and a sense of adventure. A compelling book for our turbulent times.’ Robyn Williams
Book Synopsis Breathe Underwater by : Janalee B Smith
Download or read book Breathe Underwater written by Janalee B Smith and published by . This book was released on 2021-02-12 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I'd been holding my breath for years, and I couldn't do it anymore. There was a glimmer of hope in the possibility of a third option. Option One: Sink. Option Two: Swim. Option Three: Breathe Underwater?" Like many who grew up in the Church and accepted Christ at a young age, Janalee understood grace for salvation, but had no idea how to apply that grace for living. Unwittingly buying into a self-focused "gospel" of works, she was holding her breath while waiting for eternity, living in survival mode, and finding it harder and harder to keep up. This is the story of how God called her bluff and invited her to embrace the full gospel of grace. Grace does not come naturally to us who are living in the "meantime" between salvation and future glory. We find it easier to focus on sin management and coping skills rather than face the source of our problem: the spiritual bondage of our hearts. With compassion, humor, and a humble respect for Scripture, Janalee interweaves her own story with the truths that God has taught her about confronting lies, judgments, unforgiveness, and wounds that hold us back from a grace-filled life. The crucible of pain teaches us to dive deeply into our union with Christ in order to find abundance - to breathe underwater.
