Hundreds of parks, preserves, and protected open spaces infuse the
San Francisco Bay Area with a world of unparalleled natural wonder.
Straddling a remarkable range of geographic and ecological
diversity, it provides avenues for adventure in all terrains,
seasons, and environments. An overnight journey deepens this
outdoor experience. One Night Wilderness: San Francisco Bay Area
presents the 28 best overnight backcountry opportunities in the
greater Bay Area, from the deep valleys of the Coast Range to the
old-growth redwoods of the Santa Cruz Mountains, from the shores of
Point Reyes National Seashore to the remote corners of the Diablo
Range in Henry Coe State Park. And all of them are accessible
within a two-hour drive from any point in the Bay Area. Discovering
all of these adventures without help would be a formidable
challenge. Nearly a dozen different governing agencies manage the
parks of the Bay Area. Regulations, sources of information, and
reservation systems vary widely by park district. Plus, the
proximity of millions of people means that hikers usually must make
reservations at least a few weeks before their trip. But this
comprehensive guide tells hikers what they need to know to get away
from the city hubbub for a night or two. Within these pages you'll
find detailed information on regulations, agency contact
information, crowds, and reservations for every overnight
destination--plus human history, natural history, trail
descriptions, fun activities, maps, and more.

across the world when making decisions on what to present as the
daily news ... however, Mal Walden, much loved Melbourne newsreader

prefers to present this collection of Good News: stories of
survival, invention, eccentricity and goodness. Good news not only
sells but studies have shown it is beneficial to our mental
well-being! These feel-good stories highlight the ingenuity of
people, the kindness and compassion we can show to each other, the
determination to overcome hardship and the fun people can have in
their daily life.
Here is a compilation of Scriptures pertinent to people working in

A close and playful glimpse at the childhood of one of the world's
greatest geniuses and cultural icons, Katherine Johnson who was the
subject of the hit film Hidden Figures! Katherine Johnson grew up
to be the first Black woman to work at NASA, figuring out the path
for spacecrafts to go around the Earth and land on the Moon! But
before she set her sights on outer space, she was busy making the
Earth's surface her laboratory! Equipped with a mind for math,
nothing gets past Katherine: how did Noah manage to put 48,000
animals on his ark, not to mention all that feed?! Accompanied by
her brother Charlie and her chicken Lucinda, Katherine makes the
world her playground and sometimes dreams of a Moon that could
answer her questions... or even, growing up in the early 1900s, a
more equal society where black people and white people could have
the same rights...
E. F. Schumacher was a profound and influential thinker and
economist who, at a time of unlimited economic growth, challenged
this ideology and proposed an approach to economics 'as if people
mattered'. He was one of the first to recognise the impossibility
of continuous growth in a finite world, and warned against the
world's increasing dependence on oil. He was a key figure in the
development of the environmental movement and was adamantly opposed
to what he saw as violent solutions to economic problems, arguing
against nuclear energy and advocating human-scale technology and
organic cultivation. Schumacher's particular genius was to bring
together the theoretical and the practical. He set up the
Intermediate Technology Development Group (now Practical Action) to
provide small-scale technology for developing countries, and his
people-centred approach to development has now been adopted
throughout the world. This fascinating biography traces
Schumacher's life: from his early years in Germany and his move to
England and internment during the Second World War, through to his
later years, with the publication of Small is Beautiful and the
worldwide fame that resulted. It shows how his thinking and beliefs
changed and evolved as his rigorous and questioning search for
truth caused him to reflect on the events of his life and embark on
a spiritual journey which was to change him as an economist and as
a person.
From Russia to Poland and Romania, and from the Czech Republic to
Yugoslavia and East Germany, Contemporary Art in Eastern Europe is
an ambitious attempt to chart the changing realities of the eastern
half of Europe as seen through the eyes of artists, critics,
photographers and curators. If the Iron Curtain and the antagonisms
of the Cold War era had often kept the richness and diversity of
Eastern European art hidden from the rest of the world, the
contemporary era has been a witness to its unparalleled creative
explosion and fruitful dialogue with the global art scene. The work
featured in this book explores the correlations between shifts in
the political, cultural, economic and geographical realities of
Eastern Europe and the region's contemporary art. The artists in
this book revisit the region's past to envision a better future,
reaching challenging conclusions and producing some of the most
powerful and inspiring art being produced today. The book features
essays from respected writers in the field and profiles the most
influential artists producing work in and from the region today,
including Marina Abramovic, Christo, Krzysztof Wodiczko, Zofia
Kulik, Komar and Melamid, IRWIN, Natalia Lach-Lachowicz, Alexander
Brodsky, Ewa Partum, NSK, Group OHO, Stano Filko, Laibach,
KwieKulik, Post Ars, Weekend Art, Zbigniew Libera, Marjetica Potrc,
and Mladen Stilinovic. The following countries are covered in this
anthology: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Czech Republic, East Germany, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania,
Macedonia, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovak Republic,
Slovenia and Yugoslavia. Contemporary Art in Eastern Europe is the
third title in the ARTWORLD series following Contemporary Art in
the Middle East and Contemporary Art in Latin America.
Climate policy hits Turf Moor: follow Burnley's adventure in Europe
and their roller-coaster struggle for survival in the Premiership
while racing through an unconventional take on climate policy. This
is a funny book, written in the earthy and irreverent language of
the terraces. But it has a serious subtext - about climate change.
It's a series of conversations between Joe, a Burnley lad who is
football mad, and Professor Igor who's obsessed with climate
change. Joe thinks that worrying about climate change is a waste of
time. Igor can't understand why 22 grown men would put on shorts
and run around after a ball. Igor agrees to spend a season with Joe
going to every Burnley game, and in return Joe and his family
listen to the Professor rattle on about climate policy. The book
examines why preventing climate change is so difficult, and asks
whether it is more a social and political problem than a
technological one? Will we have to change our lifestyle? Would new
legislation addressing climate change be so unpopular with the
public that politicians will backtrack? How will industry be
affected? Notes at the back of the book summarize all the serious
climate-change material so the reader can look up the important
messages in the book without having to stand on the terraces.

attentive Olly, she discovers the joys of village life and even
forms an unlikely friendship with Miles. Then, just as their
relationship develops into something deeper, an old flame comes
looking for him ...Is their love strong enough to overcome the
past? Or will it take more than either of them is prepared to give?
From the late eighteenth century until about 1840, schoolgirls in
the British Isles and the United States created embroidered map
samplers and even silk globes. Hundreds of British maps were made
and although American examples are more rare, they form a
significant collection of artefacts. Descriptions of these samplers
stated that they were designed to teach needlework and geography.
The focus of this book is not on stitches and techniques used in
'drafting' the maps, but rather why they were developed, how they
diffused from the British Isles to the United States, and why they
were made for such a brief time. The events of the late eighteenth
and early nineteenth centuries stimulated an explosion of interest
in geography. The American and French Revolutions, the wars between
France and England, the War of 1812, Captain Cook's voyages, and
the explorations of Lewis and Clark made the study of places
exciting and important. Geography was the first science taught to
girls in school. This period also coincided with major changes in
educational theories and practices, especially for girls, and this
book uses needlework maps and globes to chart a broader discussion
of women's geographic education. In this light, map samplers and
embroidered globes represent a transition in women's education from
'accomplishments' in the eighteenth century to challenging
geographic education and conventional map drawing in schools and
academies of the second half of the nineteenth century. There has
been little serious study of these maps by cartographers and,
moreover, historians of cartography have largely neglected the role
of women in mapping. Children's maps have not been studied,
although they might have much to offer about geographical teaching
and perceptions of a period, and map samplers have been dismissed
because they are the work of schoolgirls. Needlework historians,
likewise, have not done in depth studies of map samplers until
recently. Stitching the World is an interdisciplinary work drawing
on cartography, needlework, and material culture. This book for the
first time provides a critical analysis of these artefacts, showing
that they offer significant insights into both eighteenth- and
nineteenth-century geographic thought and cartography in the USA
and the UK and into the development of female education.
