Book Synopsis New Dawn for the Kissimmee River by : Doug Alderson

Book excerpt: A modern-day adventure through the heart of Florida "From now on, I'll paddle the Kissimmee beside the ghosts of raucous cowboys, cumbersome paddle wheelers, marching soldiers, and lurking Indians."--Sandy Huff, author of Paddler's Guide to the Sunshine State "Alderson uses his substantial reporting and photography skills to bring us a story of environmental destruction and restoration. I learned a lot about places I've visited dozens of times but never fully understood."--Willie Howard, outdoors editor, Palm Beach Post The Kissimmee Valley, which includes the Kissimmee chain of lakes and Kissimmee River, covers an area from Orlando to Lake Okeechobee. The headwaters and grand gateway to the Everglades, the area is the domain of the alligator and bald eagle, snail kite and spoonbill, stretching more than 100 miles through central Florida. Between 1960 and 1971, the Army Corps of Engineers straightened and diverted the river's flow to control persistent flooding. These alterations shortened the length of the Kissimmee, significantly reduced wildlife populations, and created a lucrative real estate market that further threatened native species. In 1992, Congress acted to restore the river to its original flow. In the spring of 2007, Doug Alderson joined an expedition down the Kissimmee chain of lakes and the newly restored river. Chronicled nightly on local television, the group witnessed firsthand the recovering bird populations, spotted otters, turtles, alligators, and other wildlife, and revealed to thousands of viewers the hidden beauty of this part of Florida. In New Dawn for the Kissimmee River, Alderson uses this twelve-day paddling excursion as a thread to explore the history and ecology of the region, while highlighting the most successful restoration project of its kind in the world, the model for the overall Everglades restoration plan. Doug Alderson, former associate editor of Florida Wildlife magazine and current Florida Paddling Trails Coordinator for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, is the author of Waters Less Traveled and The Ghost Orchid Ghost and Other Tales from the Swamp.

Author and environmentalist Doug Alderson meets the Great Spirit through the ancient spiritual practice of walking. The Vision Keepers is the compelling true story of a seeker who, under the guidance of Bear Heart, a Muskogee Creek Indian and Medicine Man, finds unity with our nation’s native people and reconnects with the earth through profound and mysterious means. At a time when our global community is in great conflict, we can learn much from Native Americans.

Book Synopsis A Road Less Traveled: and Not for Just Us by : ThomS
Download or read book A Road Less Traveled: and Not for Just Us written by ThomS and published by LifeRich Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-13 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For much of my life, I believed the lack of detailed information about the early years of the life of Jesus of Nazareth was a major cover-up. I believed its suppressed because it did not fit the story being sold. Over the years, I have come to believe in a more refined truth. It does not exist because its retention was not important at the time he lived. By the end of his ministry of about three years, what passed on in oral traditionshepherds who became kingshad their stories told and written down. Seen are the results of the work of carpenters and masons, but their lives were not. How a man grew from being a child to boy to man was not as important as the results of his life. We were told a descendent of Abraham met God at a burning bush; we know little of how he got there. Victors write history. Victors do not include what does not support what they wish were known. To purposefully exclude first requires that there is something known. I wrote a book that has my answers to my questions I have asked over the years. I tell people that I could be like Clark Kent but never a Superman. I am from Earth, not Krypton. Similarly, I can be like Jesus of Nazareth, but could never be a Christ. I hope I will cause you to think about life and love. Both are precious to me, and I hope you have an abundance of both. Sincerely, ThomS

Book Synopsis Thicker Than Water by : Erica Cirino
Download or read book Thicker Than Water written by Erica Cirino and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2021-10-07 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of what you've heard about plastic pollution may be wrong. Instead of a great island of trash, the infamous Great Pacific Garbage Patch is made up of manmade debris spread over hundreds of miles of sea--more like a soup than a floating garbage dump. Less than nine percent of the plastic we create is reused, and microplastic fragments are found almost everywhere, even in our bodies. In Thicker Than Water: The Quest for Solutions to the Plastic Crisis, journalist Erica Cirino brings readers on a globe-hopping journey to meet the scientists and activists telling the real story of the plastic crisis. New technologies and awareness bring some hope, but Cirino shows that we can only fix the problem if we begin to repair our throwaway culture. Thicker Than Water is an eloquent call to reexamine the systems churning out waves of plastic waste.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be a fly on the wall as history is being made? In Life on a Road Less Traveled, author Loudell Insley takes you into a world seldom seen by outsiders, recounting her personal experiences working with Senators Edward M. Kennedy and Robert F. Kennedy during the latter’s presidential campaign. Insley worked for Senator Edward M. Kennedy from 1965 to 1970, a time when he was in the twin shadows of his more famous brothers. She was there as he grew to become a force in the US Senate. On loan to Robert F. Kennedy during his presidential campaign, Insley traveled with the candidate on his ill-fated western swing during his1968 campaign and was there on the day of his tragic assassination. She attended his state funeral as well. She muses about taking a path in life that was not originally set for her in the 1960s and how that shaped her life. When her time with the Kennedys ended, she moved on to a position in the press office of the Peace Corps and then with the Democratic National Committee during the time of the Watergate break-in. She eventually moved back home in Maryland to live and work, but her time serving during some of the most historic times in this country set her on a path that few would have the opportunity to travel.
Download or read book Florida's Rivers written by Doug Alderson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-09-01 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rivers in Florida are steeped in a rich natural and cultural history. They are avenuesthrough time, allowing us to wrap ourselves in a rich historical tapestry, and they are showcases for wildlife and natural beauty. On some rivers, idyllic scenes are revealed bend after bend for miles and sometimes days, appearing to have changed little since early native people plied the waters in dugout canoes. Imagine gliding along a clear watercourse beneath a leafy canopy of maple, cypress, and gum. The current swirls eelgrass in undulating patterns as schools of silvery mullet shoot past. Ahead, a manatee’s snout breaks the surface in a loud whoosh, its gray body lumbering slowly along and showing little fear as you pass by. A red-shouldered hawk cries and soars over treetops while a black anhinga stretches long wings to dry while perched on a cypress knee. Whether you are viewing a river from the land or, especially, a kayak, canoe, or paddleboard, let Florida's Rivers be your guide to celebrating the state's treasures.
