Download or read book Flames of Extinction written by John Pickrell and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2021-04-15 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over Australia's 2019-20 Black Summer bushfire season, scientists estimate that more than three billion native animals were killed or displaced. Many species - koalas, the regent honeyeater, glossy black cockatoo, the platypus - are inching towards extinction at the hands of mega-blazes and the changing climate behind them. In Flames of Extinction, award-winning science writer John Pickrell investigates the effects of the 2019-2020 bushfires on Australian wildlife and ecosystems. Journeying across the firegrounds, Pickrell explores the stories of creatures that escaped the flames, the wildlife workers who rescued them, and the conservationists, land managers, Aboriginal rangers, ecologists and firefighters on the front line of the climate catastrophe. He also reveals the radical new conservation methods being trialled to save as many species as possible from the very precipice of extinction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *NOW A NETFLIX LIMITED SERIES—from producer and director Shawn Levy (Stranger Things) starring Mark Ruffalo, Hugh Laurie, and newcomer Aria Mia Loberti* Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist, the beloved instant New York Times bestseller and New York Times Book Review Top 10 Book about a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II. Marie-Laure lives with her father in Paris near the Museum of Natural History where he works as the master of its thousands of locks. When she is six, Marie-Laure goes blind and her father builds a perfect miniature of their neighborhood so she can memorize it by touch and navigate her way home. When she is twelve, the Nazis occupy Paris, and father and daughter flee to the walled citadel of Saint-Malo, where Marie-Laure’s reclusive great uncle lives in a tall house by the sea. With them they carry what might be the museum’s most valuable and dangerous jewel. In a mining town in Germany, the orphan Werner grows up with his younger sister, enchanted by a crude radio they find. Werner becomes an expert at building and fixing these crucial new instruments, a talent that wins him a place at a brutal academy for Hitler Youth, then a special assignment to track the Resistance. More and more aware of the human cost of his intelligence, Werner travels through the heart of the war and, finally, into Saint-Malo, where his story and Marie-Laure’s converge. Doerr’s “stunning sense of physical detail and gorgeous metaphors” (San Francisco Chronicle) are dazzling. Deftly interweaving the lives of Marie-Laure and Werner, he illuminates the ways, against all odds, people try to be good to one another. Ten years in the writing, All the Light We Cannot See is a magnificent, deeply moving novel from a writer “whose sentences never fail to thrill” (Los Angeles Times).
Download or read book Fate of Flames written by Sarah Raughley and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2016-11-22 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four girls with the power to control the elements and save the world from a terrible evil must come together in the first epic novel in a brand-new series. When Phantoms--massive beasts made from nightmares and darkness--suddenly appeared and began terrorizing the world, four girls, the Effigies, each gained a unique power to control one of the classical elements: earth, air, fire, and water. Since then, four girls across the world have continually fought against the Phantoms, fulfilling their cosmic duty. And when one Effigy dies, another girl gains her power as a replacement. But now, with technologies in place to protect the world's major cities from Phantom attacks, the Effigies have stopped defending humanity and, instead, have become international celebrities, with their heroic feats ranked, televised, and talked about in online fandoms. Until the day that New York City's protection against the Phantoms fails, a man seems to be able to control them by sheer force of will, and Maia, a high school student, unexpectedly becomes the Fire Effigy. Now Maia has been thrown into battle with three girls who want nothing to do with one another. But with the first human villain that the girls have ever faced, and an army of Phantoms preparing for attack, there isn't much time for the Effigies to learn how to work together. Can the girls take control of their destinies before the world is destroyed forever?

Book Synopsis Saved Through Fire by : Daniel Frayer-Griggs
Download or read book Saved Through Fire written by Daniel Frayer-Griggs and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-04-06 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An unusually polyvalent symbol, fire assumes numerous functions in the Bible. It is a defining feature of theophanies, it serves as an instrument of judgment, and in some instances it cleanses and purifies. Examining a complex of traditions ranging from John the Baptist to Jesus of Nazareth and from the Pauline to the Petrine Epistles, Daniel Frayer-Griggs identifies a recurring motif in the New Testament, arguing that these disparate traditions, which appear in both very early and very late New Testament texts, testify to a shared belief that everyone--both the righteous and the wicked--would be subjected to eschatological judgment by fire and that the righteous would experience this judgment as a fiery ordeal through which they would be tested and, in some cases, ultimately purified.
Download or read book The Big Burn written by Timothy Egan and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2009-10-19 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Book Award–winner Timothy Egan turns his historian's eye to the largest-ever forest fire in America and offers an epic, cautionary tale for our time. On the afternoon of August 20, 1910, a battering ram of wind moved through the drought-stricken national forests of Washington, Idaho, and Montana, whipping the hundreds of small blazes burning across the forest floor into a roaring inferno that jumped from treetop to ridge as it raged, destroying towns and timber in the blink of an eye. Forest rangers had assembled nearly ten thousand men to fight the fires, but no living person had seen anything like those flames, and neither the rangers nor anyone else knew how to subdue them. Egan recreates the struggles of the overmatched rangers against the implacable fire with unstoppable dramatic force, and the larger story of outsized president Teddy Roosevelt and his chief forester, Gifford Pinchot, that follows is equally resonant. Pioneering the notion of conservation, Roosevelt and Pinchot did nothing less than create the idea of public land as our national treasure, owned by every citizen. Even as TR's national forests were smoldering they were saved: The heroism shown by his rangers turned public opinion permanently in favor of the forests, though it changed the mission of the forest service in ways we can still witness today. This e-book includes a sample chapter of SHORT NIGHTS OF THE SHADOW CATCHER.

Book Synopsis Cinema of Flames by : Dina Iordanova
Download or read book Cinema of Flames written by Dina Iordanova and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First study of cinema, media and the Balkan wars; Wide-ranging view of politics and culture of the region; The break-up of Yugoslavia triggered a truly international film-making project. Underground, Ulysses' Gaze, Before the Rain, Pretty Village, Pretty Flame and Welcome to Sarajevo were amongst a host of films created as the conflicts in the region unravelled. These conflicts restored the Balkans as a centrepiece of Western imagery and the media (especially cinema) assumed a leading but ambiguous role in defining it for global consumption through a narrow range of selectively defined images. Simultaneously, a lot of the high-quality cinematic and television work made in the region (much of it discussed in this book) remains relatively unknown. Cinema of Flames attempts to go deeper than the imagery and address some of the general concerns of the cross-cultural representation and self-representation of the Balkans: narrative strategies within the context of Balkan exclusion from the European cultural sphere, the cosmopolitan image of Sarejevo, diaspora, and the representations of villains, victims, women, and ethnic minorities, all considered in the general context of Balkan cinema. 'encyclopaedic in scope and brilliance, making excellent use of the scholarly literature whilst interweaving analysis of films and other mass media. The book will be a superb addition to the literatures on Bosnia and Yugoslavia. It will also serve as a standard reference on Balkans film.' Robert Hayden (University of Pittsburgh)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twin Flames and numerous advanced souls are presently re-uniting across the planet to complete their mission at this critical juncture in Earth's ascension. Humanity has long been trapped by the forces of darkness that have brought about much suffering and despair. Today the world stands poised to emerge from the spiritual wilderness as increasing numbers of souls awaken to their true purpose; to reconnect to their spiritual origins and serve their fellow brothers and sisters. If they are successful, they will transition to a higher dimension. Alas, unseen forces are working hard to stop humanities ascension and it will take the combined efforts of Twin Flames, Star Seeds and other advanced souls to bring the balance of power back into humanities favor. The time is fast approaching when the presently unfolding worldwide events will reach their prophesized conclusion. Will the souls of humanity be ready for a fifth dimensional existence or will they be required to experience further three-dimensional lessons? Worst still, might they be coerced into another dimension altogether, further delaying their return to their true home? This is the sixth time that humanity has attempted to ascend from this planet and it has required a substantial degree of interplanetary and spiritual assistance just to get this far. These souls have come to live the path of unconditional love knowing that there are no barriers that true love cannot overcome. Remarkably and despite high levels of intervention the final result still appears to hang in the balance. This book details the journey of one such advanced soul, his twin flame, his soul mates and their journey prior to and after answering the call to help liberate humanity. It details the relationship between other planetary races, especially those from the Sirius, Orion and Alpha Draconis star systems and Earth based humans. This work is not only an action-based adventure but also a love story; following the powerful bond of love that

Book Synopsis Acts of Gallantry - Volume 3 by : W.H. Fevyer
Download or read book Acts of Gallantry - Volume 3 written by W.H. Fevyer and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2013-02-18 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Royale Humane Society was founded in 1774 and, since that date, has awarded more than 12,5OO medals for gallantry in saving life. In 1872 a partial listing of silver and gold medal citations was published by Lampton Young under the title of Acts of Gallantry . this being followed up in 1996 by a second volume of the same name written by Bill Fevyer. The third volume reproduces all silver and Stanhope gold medal citations for the period 1951-95, together with citations for all bronze clasps awarded since their introduction in 1869. The Stanhope Gold Medal is presented annually by the RHS to the man or woman judged to have carried out the most heroic rescue in the year. Since 1962 the RHS has allowed associated societies in Australia, New Zealand and Canada to forward cases for consideration for this most prestigious of awards, and the volume also reproduces numerous Commonwealth citations. Whilst the first two volumes in the series restricted themselves to gold and silver awards, the third also publishes full citations for all of the 248 bronze clasps awarded by the RHS. Royal Naval recipients are particularly well represented amongst these multiple award winners, but the only recipient to win the bronze medal plus five clasps made all of his rescues in the murky waters of London's Regents Canal! The new volume is comprehensively indexed, with over 400 individuals being listed. In addition, the original RHS case numbers are published, greatly facilitating cross-referencing to the original documentation held by the Society. Bill Fevyer and Craig Barclay are President and Secretary respectively of the Lifesaving Awards Research Society.
