From the most unforgiving of concrete jungles to the pastoral
reaches of the countryside, birds are among the most plentiful and
plainly visible animals on the planet. For millions of years, they
have survived in every known biome, carving out ecological niches
for themselves and their offspring and often thriving. But this
remarkable adaptability can only go so far. With the recent
acceleration of habitat loss, climate change, spread of invasive
species, and other detrimental environmental developments, birds
are disappearing across the world. Yet despite such wide-ranging
decimation, birdwatching remains one of the fastest growing hobbies
in the United States. Endangered and Disappearing Birds of
Appalachia and the Southeast, by award-winning author and
photographer Matt Williams, is an essential guide for the
bird-curious in the Appalachian and southeastern regions of the
United States. Combining brilliant photography with taxonomic
classification, identification tips, and other information, the
book goes beyond the scope of a traditional field guide. Each
profile includes descriptions of current species-conservation
efforts, as well as tips on how to get involved in the ongoing work
to save these endangered creatures. This carefully compiled guide
offers a detailed introduction to the birds that most need our help
and to the steps we can all take to protect their future.
Fifteen top-rated professors from twelve leading Christian colleges
and universities have collaborated to write this succinct,
accessible New Testament survey. Unlike similar entry-level
textbooks, all the contributors teach undergraduate students and
understand their culture. Introductory issues (Who? When? Where?
Why?) are condensed to a one-page snapshot of all the most
pertinent information. In addition, more than one hundred
applications are highlighted in sidebars to clarify how the New
Testament authors might apply their writings to Christians living
in the twenty-first century. The book's uncomplicated structure and
creative format make it a perfect tool for Christian education
programs in the church and college New Testament courses. Updated
in 2015, this book has a new layout and cover to match What the Old
Testament Authors Really Cared About, as well as a hardcover
binding for increased durability.
This book provides a comprehensive understanding of a highly
innovative method of natural wastewater treatment using advanced
in-groundbioreactors called Eco-Engineered Bioreactors (EEBs), and
traces their evolution from the earliest aerated gravel bed
versions once known as Engineered Wetlands (EWs) and now known as
BREW Bioreactors (BBRs) all the way to today's wide slate of
aerobic and anaerobic varieties. Treatment using EEBs involves
passing wastewaters through excavated basins in which they contact
fixed films of microbial consortia on permeable substrate media.
Written from the perspective of ecological engineers designing
EEBs, this guide covers updated information on the state-of-the-art
for EEBs, covering their morphologies, testing methods, designs,
operations, and microbiology.

Matt Williams has been an associate pastor, Christian college
administrator, and has worked with church ministries around the
country for over 40 years. He combines his experiences as a secular
business manager, church staff member, and Christian leader with
ministries to present practical principles that are invaluable in
serving the Lord.
How To Be A Team Player and Enjoy It is the result of working
with pastors, staff members, and ministries across the country and
seeing the problems faced in churches and Christian school
ministries. Matt takes principles from God's word and applies them
to our relationships and working with others as leaders. Christian
leaders have encouraged Matt to relate these principles in printed
form. This book reflects Matt's heart for people and the Lords
work. How To Be A Team Player and Enjoy It should be required
reading for all Christian leaders and workers.
This book has a darker sense of a utopia. When ideas become the
currency, those who can't give ideas anymore are worthless. This a
place where you can't get by on someone's shoulders. Growing up in
a place such as this, you learn to ignore the bad and be thankful
with what you have. Can a child's innocence bring everything back
into perspective? Are they ready for a world like this?
