This book raises many interrelated important issues in life and
tries to clarify the spiritual facts and to tie the loose ends,
according to the wisdom of Divine Love. The good news about Lord
Christ Jesus being a vegan (a strict vegetarian), for Biblical
reasons is expounded in this book so all nations can immediately
convert to the Christian vegan religion of heaven; for the sake of
God's Justice that must be served on earth. The book indeed is a
must read for all people because the entire creation including
mankind has only one Savior to understand, obey, learn from and
follow in order to do God's will, to be justified of sins and to
see the Kingdom of God in righteousness. Since science also belongs
to Christianity and this true faith is about universal redemption,
the pages of this book discuss in detail the interests, the
well-beings and the freedom of all creatures. The main points
discussed in here, from the Christian vegan perspectives are: why
mankind should live to honor God, about the universally abiding
laws given us by the supreme Creator, the Christian justice, the
importance of Church unity, nutrition, balanced diet and related
issues. The pages loudly echo the spirituality of animals and the
normal feelings of all that live; encouraging mankind to choose
environmentally friendly products and services instead of animal
products or animal services. Every violent sport and entertainment
that involves animals is denounced together with the modern day
idolatry and animal slavery; urging God fearing people to actively
love and defend all animals and the universe in the Holy Name of
Christ Jesus now and always. The goal of the book is to help the
entire human race grasp theurgency of the animal right issue so all
can repent together, start to pray unceasingly, watch and work in
order to heal the damaged environments spiritually also work to
restore world peace, order, equality among the earthly dwellers and
lasting harmony. This book is indispensable for
Your body is a magnificent living, self-healing ecosystem that is
under siege by toxic man-made chemicals. Our connection with nature
is being disrupted at the "quorum" cell language level of microbes
so we cannot maintain clean, healthy ecosystem functions.
Did you know that your cells are hardwired for superhealing at
the quorum cell level, a level ten times more powerful than stem
cells-and that the future of our victory over disease in this
dominant medical-profit system depends on your restoring the
ability of your cells to talk to one another?
Quorum Superhealing puts together a sober picture of how
man-made chemicals are disrupting quorum cell-to-cell communication
so you stay overweight, inflamed and sick.
Dr. Paul Yanick, who survived two nearly-fatal diseases,
reveals the shocking truth of how man-made pharmaceuticals and
chemicals shut down his kidneys at the age of twenty and evoked
near-fatal cancer. At the brink of death, he saved his life by
restoring the quorum language of cells. His terrifying experiences
became the catalyst for decades of research and this book which
tells an amazing story of how some of the worst, most-feared
diseases can be conquered by restoring quorum superhealing.

To some extent, the title Fin Feather and Field is
self-explanatory. Fin is more than fishing; it is an excuse to be
outdoors, not just to kill but to observe nature from diverse
angles. Feather is not just game-bird shooting but watching and
identifying birds, rearing semi-tame peacocks and gray partridges
till ready to fly, named Mustapha, Mr. Onion, and Paloma. Field
involves travel, monuments and wild life sanctuaries, tracking Tahr
in the Nilgiris and Bharal in snowbound North Sikkim. It is horse
riding, playing golf, trekking, and mountain climbing. It is
savoring a myriad cultures across India and some abroad; inviting
misadventure are part of Field. Autobiographical glimpses and
vignettes of army lifestyle find small nooks here and there. In
short, Fin Feather and Field is a celebration of the life given and
enjoyed to the hilt through over forty years, with minds open to
wonder, learning, never abandoning the mindfulness of "feeling" the
aura of strangers and places. Some of the best years lived in
tribal India on the Chota Nagpur Plateau, braving dacoits and
fearful gun-wielding Naxalites, are memorable parts of Field.
Originally published in early 1900s. A well illustrated book on
nature and countryside ways, suitable for both young and old.

tracking game keeping camping the seasons woodcraft etc. Many of

Bioregionalism is an innovative way of thinking about place and
planet from an ecological perspective. Although bioregional ideas
occur regularly in ecocritical writing, until now no systematic
effort has been made to outline the principles of bioregional
literary criticism and to use it as a way to read, write,
understand, and teach literature.
The twenty-four original essays here are written by an outstanding
selection of international scholars. The range of bioregions
covered is global and includes such diverse places as British
Columbia's Meldrum Creek and Italy's Po River Valley, the Arctic
and the Outback. There are even forays into cyberspace and outer
space. In their comprehensive introduction, the editors map the
terrain of the bioregional movement, including its history and
potential to inspire and invigorate place-based and environmental
literary criticism.
Responding to bioregional tenets, this volume is divided into four
sections. The essays in the "Reinhabiting" section narrate
experiments in living-in-place and restoring damaged environments.
The "Rereading" essays practice bioregional literary criticism,
both by examining texts with strong ties to bioregional paradigms
and by opening other, less-obvious texts to bioregional analysis.
In "Reimagining," the essays push bioregionalism to evolve--by
expanding its corpus of texts, coupling its perspectives with other
approaches, or challenging its core constructs. Essays in the
"Renewal" section address bioregional pedagogy, beginning with
local habitat studies and concluding with musings about the
Internet.
In response to the environmental crisis, we must reimagine our
relationship to the places we inhabit. This volume shows how
literature and literary studies are fundamental tools to such a
reimagining.

St. Guido ran out at the garden gate into a sandy lane, and down
the lane till he came to a grassy bank. He caught hold of the
bunches of grass and so pulled himself up. There was a footpath on
the top which went straight in between fir-trees, and as he ran
along they stood on each side of him like green walls. They were
very near together, and even at the top the space between them was
so narrow that the sky seemed to come down, and the clouds to be
sailing but just over them, as if they would catch and tear in the
fir-trees. The path was so little used that it had grown green, and
as he ran he knocked dead branches out of his way. Just as he was
getting tired of running he reached the end of the path, and came
out into a wheat-field. The wheat did not grow very closely, and
the spaces were filled with azure corn-flowers. St. Guido thought
he was safe away now, so he stopped to look.
Powerful Pacific storms strike the region. Otherworldly lenticular
clouds often cap Mount Rainier. Rain shadows create sunny skies
while torrential rain falls a few miles away. The Pineapple Express
brings tropical moisture and warmth during Northwest winters. The

variable weather in North America, which is described with colorful
and evocative language in this book. Atmospheric scientist and
blogger Cliff Mass, known for his ability to make complex science
readily accessible to all, shares eyewitness accounts, historical
episodes, and the latest meteorological knowledge. This updated,
extensively illustrated, and expanded new edition features: * A new
chapter on the history of wildfires and their impact on air quality
* Analysis of recent floods and storms, including the Oso landslide
of 2014, the 2016 "Ides of October" windstorm, and the tornado that

Fresh insight on local weather phenomena such as "The Blob" *
Updates on the latest technological advances used in forecasting *
A new chapter on the meteorology of British Columbia Highly
