From bestselling and award-winning author and illustrator Peter Brown comes a heartwarming and action-packed novel about what happens when nature and technology collide.
From the team behind the New York Times bestselling Creepy Carrots!
and Creepy Pair of Underwear! comes the third in this hilariously
spooky series about a young rabbit and his peculiar
encounters—featuring a sinister crayon! Jasper Rabbit has a
problem: he is NOT doing well in school. His spelling tests?
Disasters. His math quizzes? Frightening to behold. But one day, he
finds a crayon lying in the gutter. Purple. Pointy. Perfect.
Somehow…it looked happy to see him. And it wants to help. At
first, Jasper is excited. Everything is going great. His spelling
is fantastic. His math is stupendous. And best of all, he doesn’t
have to do ANY work! But then the crayon starts acting weird.
It’s everywhere, and it wants to do everything. And Jasper must
find a way to get rid of it before it takes over his life. The only
problem? The creepy crayon will not leave.
Life for Roz and the animals on their island is perfect: wild, natural, harmonious. Her son Brightbill has even found a mate! But then, one day an injured seal washes ashore and warns of dangerous, cloudy waters that are flowing toward the island—and soon the animals are forced inland to fight over dwindling resources.
Roz calms and organizes the animals, but the poison tide takes a terrible toll on the island. And when the robot discovers that her new body is waterproof, she marches into the waves and sets out across the ocean, determined to stop the poison tide.
During her undersea journey, Roz encounters amazing geological formations and incredible creatures, and she sees the devastation caused by the toxic waters. Creatures she meets along the way direct her to a mysterious character known as the Ancient Shark, who explains that the poison tide is caused by a huge station that floats on the waves; a station operated by humans and by robots. To stop them, the Ancient Shark is prepared to attack with an army of sea creatures. However, Roz hopes to find a peaceful solution, instead.
Can the wild robot save the ocean and her island and everything she loves?
Dirty Enlightenment is a stripped-down, radical presentation of the
Nature of Reality and your spiritual place in it. In actuality, you
are a miraculously present infinite field of transcendental being
presenting itself to itself as subtle radiant energy of pure
intelligence. This truth is consonant with the view of Dzogchen,
Kashmir Shaivism, Kundalini Yoga, primal Buddhism, and with all
radical spiritual traditions. Since this is already and eternally
the sole condition, the spiritual challenge is merely to recognize
that this is the case. With the simple recognition of the nature of
your actual condition, you are freed from the confused implications
of any misinterpretations of what your condition is, that you may
have been laboring under. The apparent "imperfection" that you may
believe your life to be, is in fact already and inherently an
entirely transcendental, miraculous eternal perfection, and it can
be easy to discover this fact with self-verifying certainty.
The most globally integrated book in its field, Worlds Together,
Worlds Apart is unmatched in helping students draw connections and
comparisons across time and place. Streamlined chapters, innovative
pedagogy, and NEW scholarship, with expanded coverage of
environmental history, make the Fifth Edition the most accessible
and relevant yet. NEW interactive learning resources develop
history skills and assess comprehension of major themes and
concepts.
