Horace and Hattie Hedgehog cannot hug, they are just too spiky!
This book is different from your typical how-to guide for ghost
hunting. It's designed to give the empath, and anyone sensitive to
energy, tools for accepting things that go bump in the night.
Empathic ghost hunters will learn to depend not only on the energy
of the living, but that of the dead as they search out paranormal
activity. Each chapter includes a story, taken from the authors'
experiences in their own ghost-hunting practice, as well as a
lesson for empaths or those wishing to better their empathy skills.
Find out how to "lighten" a space, a house, or a life, by changing
the energy, thereby allowing ghosts to move on. Discover what an
empath feels and what he/she can do to work with the gift of
empathy. Now you can unravel and demystify the phenomena of the
paranormal, and bring light to a subject fraught with fear and
misunderstanding.
Do you feel a victim of your emotions? Of others' emotions? Does
life constantly throw you a curve ball no matter what you do? Do
you wear your heart on your sleeve as a loving, caring person, yet
the darker aspects of life make you feel as though you've been
cursed? If so, then this book is for you. Embark upon an empathic
journey that teaches you that darkness is but an absence of light.
Whose light? Your light. Learn that you are in control of your
emotional experiences. Begin to understand what it means to be an
empath who chooses to live a life devoid of drama and free from the
projected emotional pain from others. Discover methods to help you
rise above the darkness that surrounds you-not only the darkness
given to you by others, but from that which lies within you. This
is the authors' fourth book on the empathic experience.
With the increasing development of brownfield and landfill sites,
ground gas is a common problem encountered by engineers and
scientists and this book not only raises awareness of the
phenomenon but also provides practical solutions to the
difficulties experienced. This vital new handbook provides
practical guidance to engineers, regulators and designers about
assessing ground gas risk and the design of appropriate protection
measures. It includes a great deal of information that has never
before been available in one volume and draws on the collective
experience of the authors. The book discusses the assessment of
ground gas for Part II A sites and also includes information on the
assessment of vapours. Detailed information on gas generation and
the analysis of gas flows in the ground are included, including the
design of gas protection systems. There are many worked examples
throughout the book that help to explain the concepts and
calculations that are described. It explains how to use the most
recent assessment methods published by CIRCA, NHBC and BSI and
highlights the differences between the various methods.The final
sections cover the design and installation of gas protection
systems to buildings and in ground barriers. Most importantly, it
includes advice and recommendations about the validation and
testing of protection systems as they are installed. Readership:
This handbook will be of immense value to professionals and
advanced students within geotechnical engineering,
geo-environmental engineering, ground engineering and environmental
health, including engineers and applied scientists in these
disciplines. Researchers, regulators and design offices will also
find this book to be of great use.
Hidden in the unforgiving earth of West Texas were clues: archaic
clues etched upon buried rocks, stacked as artifacts upon other
clues, or carved into rock walls. These centuries-old clues, placed
to lead Spaniards back to their cache, eventually formed an
intricate web which lured treasure seekers and captured them in its
mystery. But the question still remains: Has the Spider Rock
treasure ever been found?

Son, there's more treasure buried right here In Oklahoma than in
the rest of the whole Southwest."" Those words from an old-timer
launched Steve Wilson on a yearslong quest for the stones of
Oklahoma's treasures. This book is the result.It is a book of
stories-some true, some legendary- about fabulous caches of lost
treasure: outlaw loot buried in the heat of pursuit, hoards of
Spanish gold dud silver secreted for a later day, Frenchmen's gold
ingots hidden amid massive cryptic symbols, Indian treasure
concealed in caves, and lost mines- gold and silver and platinum.
It tells about the earliest treasure seekers of the region and
those who are still hunting today. Along the way it describes
shootouts and massacres, trails whose routes are preserved in the
countless legends of gold hidden alongside them, Mexicans'
smelters, and mines hidden and sought over the centuries. Among the
chapters: ''The Secrets Spanish Fort Tells,"" ""Quests for Red
River's Silver Mines,"" ""Oklahoma's Forgotten Treasure Trail,'""
""Ghosts of Devil's Canyon and Their Gold,"" ""Jesse James's
Two-Million-Dollar Treasure,"" ""The Last Cave with the Iron
Door,"" and, perhaps most intriguing of all, ""The Mystery of
Cascorillo-A Lost"" City."" This is a book about quests over trails
dim before the turn of the century. It is about early peoples,
Mound Builders, Vikings, conquistadors, explorers, outlaw, gold
seekers. The author has spent years tracking down the stories and
hours listening to the old-timers' tales of their searches. Wilson
has provided maps, both detailed modem ones and photographs of
early treasure maps and has richly illustrated the book with
pictures of the sites that gave rise to the tales. . For armchair
travelers, never-say-die treasure hunters, historians, and
chroniclers and aficionados of western lore, this is an absorbing
and delightful book. And who knows? The reader may find gold!
Ten-year-old Sadie Meadows is reading in bed on New Year's Eve when
she notices an unopened present beneath her window. She finds it
contains a book called The World from Your Bedroom - There and Back
Again, but when she opens it up and begins to read, she is
disappointed to see it is nothing more than a travel book packed
with pages detailing hundreds of places across the world. She reads
the first page, then puts the book down just as sleep claims her at
the instant that the New Year arrives. She awakes to find that,
instead of being in her bedroom at home in Skipton, somehow she has
been transported to Ireland, the location that she had just read
about in the book. There follow a series of adventures, each set in
a different location, as Sadie finds herself travelling across the
globe as she attempts to get back home again. This month sees her
completing her exploration of the American continent, travelling
eastwards to the cold of the Antarctic, then northwards to the
continent of Africa.
Almost eight months after her adventures around the world had
concluded, twelve-year-old Sadie Meadows has been celebrating her
birthday at home when `The Book' pays her another unwelcome visit.
This time, it tells her that she will be taken to the various
planets of the Solar System, one a year at the end of this and her
next seven birthdays. When she awakes, she finds herself on the
surface of the planet Mercury, where she is given a task to
complete before she will be allowed to go home. Will she be able to
fulfil her requirements, year-by-year, until she can finally go
back for good?
