Book Synopsis Conflict and Calling by : Richard L. Tenney
Download or read book Conflict and Calling written by Richard L. Tenney and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2012-07 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of a handful of boys in 650 BC Jerusalem who encounter illness and death along with family ties and friendly relationships. Perhaps family life 2650 years ago was not so different from what we wish them to be today. Husbands loved their wives, boys adored their fathers, daughters displayed the Godlike feminine qualities and behaviors of their mothers, and behind every turn in the road...DANGER. "Jacob listened for an hour or more, putting together the story as they talked on and off about why they were here and who had sent them. Finally he decided that it was futile to try to save anyone; evidently there was no one to save, as far as he knew he was the sole survivor of the once proud little village of Hamadi. It was hard for him to control his emotions as he sat in his hiding place and listened to the soldier's talk of the atrocities they had performed upon his people, but then his thoughts turned to Lehi and Ishmael."
Download or read book Atlas Obscura written by Joshua Foer and published by Workman Publishing. This book was released on 2016-09-20 with total page 481 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's time to get off the beaten path. Inspiring equal parts wonder and wanderlust, Atlas Obscura celebrates over 700 of the strangest and most curious places in the world. Talk about a bucket list: here are natural wonders—the dazzling glowworm caves in New Zealand, or a baobob tree in South Africa that's so large it has a pub inside where 15 people can drink comfortably. Architectural marvels, including the M.C. Escher-like stepwells in India. Mind-boggling events, like the Baby Jumping Festival in Spain, where men dressed as devils literally vault over rows of squirming infants. Not to mention the Great Stalacpipe Organ in Virginia, Turkmenistan's 40-year hole of fire called the Gates of Hell, a graveyard for decommissioned ships on the coast of Bangladesh, eccentric bone museums in Italy, or a weather-forecasting invention that was powered by leeches, still on display in Devon, England. Created by Joshua Foer, Dylan Thuras and Ella Morton, ATLAS OBSCURA revels in the weird, the unexpected, the overlooked, the hidden and the mysterious. Every page expands our sense of how strange and marvelous the world really is. And with its compelling descriptions, hundreds of photographs, surprising charts, maps for every region of the world, it is a book to enter anywhere, and will be as appealing to the armchair traveler as the die-hard adventurer. Anyone can be a tourist. ATLAS OBSCURA is for the explorer.

Book Synopsis Scenes from Prehistoric Life by : Francis Pryor
Download or read book Scenes from Prehistoric Life written by Francis Pryor and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An invigorating journey through Britain's prehistoric landscape, and an insight into the lives of its inhabitants. 'Highly compelling' Spectator, Books of the Year 'An evocative foray into the prehistoric past' BBC Countryfile Magazine 'Vividly relating what life was like in pre-Roman Britain' Choice Magazine 'Makes life in Britain BC often sound rather more appealing than the frenetic and anxious 21st century!' Daily Mail In Scenes from Prehistoric Life, the distinguished archaeologist Francis Pryor paints a vivid picture of British and Irish prehistory, from the Old Stone Age (about one million years ago) to the arrival of the Romans in AD 43, in a sequence of fifteen profiles of ancient landscapes. Whether writing about the early human family who trod the estuarine muds of Happisburgh in Norfolk c.900,000 BC, the craftsmen who built a wooden trackway in the Somerset Levels early in the fourth millennium BC, or the Iron Age denizens of Britain's first towns, Pryor uses excavations and surveys to uncover the daily routines of our ancient ancestors. By revealing how our prehistoric forebears coped with both simple practical problems and more existential challenges, Francis Pryor offers remarkable insights into the long and unrecorded centuries of our early history, and a convincing, well-attested and movingly human portrait of prehistoric life as it was really lived.

Download or read book VISA written by Nguyen Quy Minh Hien and published by Nguyen Quy Minh Hien. This book was released on 2015-02-05 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the book Dear Reader. So, I have visited five continents, four homelands of the most famous ancient cultures, three biggest countries. It was my dream when I was a little girl and now I have traveled. Also, something urged me to write my feeling, impression of those travels and I want to share with friends, especially want to share with young friends who is hoping about new lands. This book is not a guide-book to travel. It also was not a list of all my travels or all countries where I came. This book was a collection of my experience, impression and feeling of countries, regions where I visited. It included joy, worry, anxiety, surprise and disappointment, suddenness and interest…Would be more useful when the book was written by bilingual: Vietnamese and English. These bilingual pages could make more enthusiasm and self-confident when you are thinking about trips, preparing or traveling in somewhere. Honestly, when I started writing stories in English, I was unself-confident and knew that I should study so much. One American author, he is my friend, who edited my first stories, laughed when I told that sometimes my English could be “silly” because I was not an American. He said if I though that every American could speak and write English very well then it was not true; United States of America was the country of many people from other countries. It seemed as their “silly” English could make freshness and riches of American-English. It was accepted like as a factor of language development. In this book, feeling and experience of travels spread from near to far, step by step, in five sections. The first section included stories of Asian travels with the starting point was a story of Hanoi, my native city. The second section was my impression in Australia. My experience and feeling of travels in Europe were presented in the third section. The fourth section was stories of mysterious land - Egypt. The last section included stories of my travel in USA, the country with distance is half of the earth from Vietnam. Feeling of a oversea travel started from apply for entry visa. Every time I received a new visa on my passport, I got special feeling. It seemed that a door opened in front of my eyes, step by step, with new things. “Visa” also was the name of a story in this book. For many Vietnamese, “visa” (English word) more familiar than “thi thuc” (Vietnamese word). Therefore, VISA is the name of this book. When the book “Visa” is published, it can bring to me the similiar feeling, it opens door for next books with new travels and new others. The world is a big village. Please, let go and come, try and feel. Thank so much for my friends, who helped me in nice travels and helped me to complete this book. Thank Google’s help to transfer this book to Readers. Thank Reader. Author Nguyen Quy Minh Hien Giới thiệu về sách Bạn đọc thân mến. Thế là tôi đã thực hiện được ước nguyện từ thời bé thơ: đặt chân đến năm châu lục, bốn xứ sở quê hương của những nền văn hóa cổ xưa nổi tiếng và ba cường quốc. Rồi một điều nữa cứ thôi thúc trong tôi là ghi lại những cảm nhận và trải nghiệm của mình về những chuyến đi này cùng mong muốn được chia sẻ với các bạn, đặc biệt là các bạn trẻ đang mơ về những miền đất lạ. Quyển sách này không phải một tài liệu hướng dẫn du lịch. Nó cũng không liệt kê ra tất cả các chuyến đi hay tất cả các quốc gia mà tôi đã đến. Quyển sách này là tập hợp những trải nghiệm, ấn tượng và cảm nhận của tôi về những miền đất khác nhau: có vui thích, có lo âu, có trăn trở, có ngạc nhiên thất vọng, có bất ngờ thú vị… Sẽ hữu ích hơn khi những trải nghiệm này được thể hiện bằng cả hai thứ tiếng: Việt và Anh. Những trang song ngữ này có thể sẽ giúp bạn thêm hưng phấn và tự tin khi bạn đang nghĩ về những chuyến đi, đang chuẩn bị hành trang hoặc đang trong một cuộc viễn du nào đó. Thú thật, khi bắt đầu viết các chuyện ngắn bằng tiếng Anh, tôi cũng không tự tin cho lắm và biết rằng mình phải học hỏi nhiều. Một tác giả người Mỹ, người bạn mà tôi nhờ đọc và biên tập giúp những bài đầu tiên, đã cười phá lên khi tôi nói rằng câu chữ tiếng Anh của tôi có thể “ngô nghê” bởi tôi không phải là người Mỹ. Rồi anh bạn tôi giải thích rằng không phải người Mỹ nào cũng sử dụng tốt tiếng Anh. Thêm nữa Hợp chủng quốc Hoa kỳ là quốc gia của những người đến từ nhiều miền đất khác nhau. Có vẻ như cách dùng tiếng Anh đôi khi “ngô nghê” của họ đã khiến cho tiếng Anh-Mỹ trở nên tươi mới và phong phú hơn. Điều đó được chấp nhận như những nhân tố cho sự phát triển ngôn ngữ. Trong quyển sách nay, cảm nhận và trải nghiệm về các chuyến đi sẽ được trải ra từ gần đến xa trong năm phần. Những câu chuyện về các chuyến đi tới các nước châu Á được giới thiệu trong phần thứ nhất với câu chuyện đầu tiên là về Hà Nội, thành phố quê hương tôi. Phần hai là những ấn tượng về Australia. Tiếp theo là phần ba với rất nhiều cảm xúc và trải nghiệm tại châu Âu.. Sự quyến rũ của miền đất bí ẩn đầy huyền thoại Ai Cập được thể hiện trong phần bốn. Phần cuối, phần thứ năm, là những câu chuyện ở Hoa Kỳ, xứ sở cờ hoa cách xa Việt Nam nửa vòng trái đất. Trải nghiệm về một chuyến xuất ngoại được cảm nhận từ ngay khi làm thủ tục visa. Mỗi khi nhận được quyển hộ chiếu đã đóng dấu visa nhập cảnh tôi lại có một cảm xúc đặc biệt, dường như một cánh cửa đang dần mở ra trước mắt mình những điều mới mẻ. Đó cũng là tên của một chuyện trong quyển sách này. Chữ “visa” thậm chí quen thuộc với nhiều người Việt hơn cả chữ “thị thực”. Bởi lẽ đó, tôi đặt tên cho quyển sách này là VISA, một cái tên ngắn gọn nhưng gợi nhắc nhiều về những chuyến đi. Có thể quyển VISA này khi xuất bản cũng sẽ mang đến cho tôi cảm nhận giống như việc mở ra cánh cửa cho những quyển sách tiếp theo và nhiều chuyến đi với những điều mới mẻ khác. Thế giới là một ngôi làng lớn. Xin hãy đi và đến, trải nghiệm và cảm nhận. Cảm ơn rất nhiều những người bạn đã giúp tôi có những chuyến đi tuyệt vời và giúp tôi thực hiện quyển sách này. Cảm ơn Google đã giúp đưa quyển sách này đến bạn đọc. Xin cảm ơn Bạn đọc. Tác giả Nguyễn Quý Minh Hiền
