Book Description
My story begins with two young boys Joe and Dylan, who live in the same street. They share a magical wonderland with friends in the forest across the road at the end of the suburb. It has been their playground for generations. Their older brothers built a fort there and they protect it with their lives. Every day after school they venture to the fort to play, battle and hang out with friends. The fort is old and beaten but kept together with love and a few nails. It sits in a clearing just inside the forest. On one side the houses of suburbia with all the bells and whistles, lawns being mowed, cars zooming past and dads coming home from work and on the other side. A wall of giants. Trees of all shapes and sizes guarding the entrance to the untouched beauty across the street. The beloved forest with its trees lining the roadside and towering up over the housed that surround it. There in the middle of suburbia, an enchanted thick untouched forest. A thing of beauty. Taking up enough land to make eight suburban blocks. It has grown since the dawn of time like a living entity. It has magic that attracts the kids and in return the children made pledges to protect it at all costs.

Hinduism and Environmental Ethics
Author: Christopher G. Framarin
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317918959
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
This book argues that the standard arguments for and against the claim that certain Hindu texts and traditions attribute direct moral standing to animals and plants are unconvincing. It presents careful, extensive, and original interpretations of passages from the Manusmrti (law), the Mahābhārata (literature), and the Yogasūtra (philosophy), and argues that these texts attribute direct moral standing to animals and plants for at least three reasons: they are sentient, they are alive, and they possess a range of other relevant attributes and abilities. This book is of interest to scholars of Hinduism and the environment, religion and the environment, Hindu and/or Buddhist philosophy more broadly, and environmental ethics.

After a night of terrible sacrifice and loss, Ava and Lucas have crossed a sacred boundary. Their forbidden bond has awakened the wrath of the Makhai, a fanatical gang of killers who will stop at nothing to wipe out the last of the Gaia. As Ava and Lucas flee across the globe, they are tested by violence, betrayal, and a mysterious curse of fire. Just as Ava needs her powers most, she is losing control—struggling to accept her new identity as the Alpha Gaia.
