Описание:
The global temperature is rising, the ice caps are melting, and levels of pollution across the world have reached unprecedented heights. According to eminent scientist James Lovelock, in order to survive an assault from her dependents, the Earth is lurching ever closer to a permanent "hot state." Within the next century, we will almost certainly be forced to give up many of the comforts of western living as supplies are threatened. Only the fittest--and the smartest--will survive.
A reluctant jeremiad from one of the environmental movement's elder statesmen, The Vanishing Face of Gaia offers an essential wake-up call for the human race.

Описание:
Since the beginning, The Imp of the Perverse has haunted his life and art. Now Edgar Allan Poe, relentlessly shadowed by this destructive force, finds himself on the brink of extinction. Comatose in a Baltimore hospital, he creates the fiction of his own demise, which seeks to reclaim every soul ever quickened by his imagination. "The Raven" compels all inexorably toward implosion, a unified culmination of the creator's mind, an enactment of the cataclysm told in Eureka, Poe's vision of the great cosmic collapse. There is one who resists, the dark and lovely Lenore. With her lover, Danton Reynolds, she finds herself fleeing not only from the shackles of slavery but also from the powerful will of the master, who would have her once again by his side - his darling, his darling, his life and his bride.
Unlikely allies aide the desperate fugitives in their flight: C. Auguste Dupin, the famous detective, created as the rational avatar of Poe's own mind, is on a mission to find and save his creator from imminent dissolution and thereby save himself. Through decoding a series of encrypted messages left by Poe to guide and, at the same time, deceive the detective, Dupin has found himself always one step behind the elusive master. Also swept up in this cosmic drama is the distraught and lonely servant, resurrected from the dead, and given the overwhelming task of restoring moral balance to the soul of the great writer. It is these two who convince Lenore and Danton that the only hope for salvation lies in the medium of the lovers' own legend. If they are not to be subsumed as characters in Poe's tale, they must absorb him into theirs. The stage is set for the Armageddon, but it takes the dark, evil, and perverse thing, which has been pursuing all of them since they left Richmond, to force the ultimate showdown. A terrifying finale is played out in the maelstrom of Poe's imagination; from it can emerge only one survivor in this, the last narrative of Edgar Allan Poe.

Описание: Illustrated with examples drawn from his experiences around the world, the author draws conclusions, an advocacy of nuclear energy. He argues that a way for humankind to come to terms with Gaia, and have a chance of surviving, is to embrace science and technology, not reject them.

Описание: Mr. Sims needed someone to give him a second chance. This young Shih Tzu was headed for the pound and possible euthanizing when our paths crossed. I had just started my personal dog training business when we met. He was brought to me for obedience instruction, but after just a few lessons, he was abandoned on my doorstep. My book, Rescuing an Angel: Heel, Mr. Sims, Heal, is the story of our twelve-year relationship in which the roles of teacher and student constantly shifted. It shows the strong partnership we built with relationship-based dog training methods, competitive obedience, therapy dog work, and my education into canine physical issues, both obvious ones and very elusive ones. This story is a blend of dog training instruction, human-dog camaraderie, mystery, and humor and ends with the ultimate act of selfless love. Each chapter has information that is helpful to a dog owner, and it continues the thread of Mr. Sims's story. "Everyone has a story to tell about their pet, but Peg Lovelock's Rescuing an Angel: Heel, Mr. Sims, Heal is extraordinary. Peg brought me into the world of a handsome Shih Tzu, Mr. Sims. Mr. Sims brought me into the world of a compassionate dog trainer, Peg Lovelock. This is a beautiful story about the relationship between Peg and Mr. Sims, who she rescued and gave unconditional love and respect. As Peg trained Mr. Sims to become an outstanding competitor, and he won all kinds of titles and awards, Mr. Sims gave his love right back to Peg in appreciation for how much he was loved and how well he was cared for. I loved the way Peg started each chapter with a message and the way that she caught my attention with the phrase, peeling the onion. I loved the uncanny wit of this author. Rescuing an Angel: Heel, Mr. Sims, Heal will warm your heart as you feel the mutual bond between Peg and her dog, Mr. Sims, and the love and respect they had for each other. I loved reading Peg's book, Rescuing an Angel: Heel, Mr. Sims, Heal." Linda Caputo
