Book Description
Never in a million years did I think I would ever be living in an earth sheltered home - especially one that had previously been featured in Better Homes & Gardens. Yet, here I was with my realtor and slightly claustrophobic wife heading out to look at the recently-listed earth home several miles south of downtown Minneapolis. Oh, and I brought along a camera since I never thought I would see the inside of the house again.As things turned out, a few months later this became our "new" home for the next several years. Snug in the winter regardless of how cold it was outside, mostly cool in the summer and a safe place to be during nasty storms - and we had our share. Living in this house was not without its challenges. Initially it needed some care as it had fallen into a state of some disrepair. And there was the typical maintenance that any home requires. But this was no horror story. There were many design features which made living and entertaining in this earth sheltered home a pleasurable experience. Various terms were used (by various people) to describe this house... EARTH HOME: Not exactly an earth home since it was not made of earth materials. But when people in the area asked where I lived, my answer prompted many to say "Oh you mean the earth home". UNDERGROUND HOME: While not technically an underground home since it wasn't completely underground (but it was mostly underground. With dirt on three sides plus a few more feet on the top), I didn't correct people that wanted to call it that. EARTH-SHELTERED HOME: The correct description of the home since it was built into the side of a hill and sheltered by a good amount of earth with just the south-facing front exposed.This book describes the home as it was first built based on my research (from the Better Homes & Gardens article plus other sources of information) as well as the features that remained when we bought the house (which were most of the original features). That will be followed by the major and minor changes we made to make living here a pleasurable experience. You will find a good amount of pictures also so you can get a good idea of what this house was all about. Detailed plans are not included but a detailed layout is in the book plus insights into what makes an earth sheltered home a success story. I hope you enjoy the book.

Book Description
Young children usually think of their home as the structure in which they live. In Our Big Home, the author and illustrator present a much larger vision of home as the planet Earth. Linda Glaser's beautiful poem is a wonderful way to gently lead children toward the all-important understanding of caring for our environment. In her lyrical, child-oriented style, she presents the idea that our big home is shared not only with all people but with all plants and animals as well. She shows that we share the air, the water, the soil, and other elements that affect and sustain all of us who live on Earth. Elisa Kleven's vibrant art enhances the concept as she takes young readers to an African plain, a Caribbean island, a South American mountain, and around the world to see people and animals reveling in the beauty and abundance of our shared home.

Book Description
"The physical earth is clearly under unprecedented siege—heated, toxified, scraped. But almost as if they were antibodies, the finest nature writers of any era have come forward to help in the fight. This anthology collects many of the most important, at their most eloquent. May it ring and echo and do some good!"—Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature "This is a stunning collection of vivid writing about landscapes and the people who inhabit them. The diverse narratives gathered here do more than describe hawks diving and twigs snapping, although the book has its share of moving accounts of the natural world. A concern to live responsibily in nature runs through this evocative anthology like a subterranean stream, and that moral impulse, together with the lively prose, makes this the best collection of nature writing I've seen."—Thomas A. Tweed, editor of Retelling U.S. Religious History

Book Description
About The Book Finding Home: Earth, Sky, Ocean Spirit This book of poems, new and selected, has been years in the making. Nearing a seventieth decade, one is reminded of Leonard Cohens admonition to make a record of ones life. Adrienne Rich suggests that one finds the deepest truths of a womans life in her poetry, poetry that draws from and illuminates her autobiography. Its language is precocious and uncanny in its efforts to explicate the nature of her lived experience. I have taught creative writing in a number of contexts: with troubled adolescents, in colleges and universities, in a womens prison, and with patients and clients in my own private practice in New London, Connecticut. It was always the journaling that revealed and explicated the individuals trauma and allowed them to move to what might be called a quotidian delight, which they had not been able to find beforethat life might hold a quotidian ecstasy was a new and wondrous idea to them, and one they could find access to. The earth, sky, ocean, spirit, and their own embodied and ensouled selves were the means to their own connectedness to the universe. Human language began with womans singing, her music, her natural response to giving life, and perceiving the plenitude around her. A mother murmuring vowels and consonants, soft language of warmth, comfort, and tenderness. There is reason to believe that at one time on the island of Crete, long ago, there was a woman-centered culture in which the values of nurturing, living in harmony with the natural world, using a language that emerged from this matrix. Warriors came, the earlier culture was destroyed, and the language reflected the new and violent warring culture. The new patriarchal lexicon focused on the lived experience of the men. It concerned power, victory, defeat, and death. It was literal, denotative as opposed to connotative; it was didactic, hierarchical, and dismissive of the language and life of the womans perspective. It would seem that in contemporary American culture, the exclusion of what we might call poetic languagethat is, language that expresses the truth and affects of the human beinghas become obsolete, replaced by patriarchal language ubiquitous in the political violence of the day and the seeming waning of what we thought was an American way of life. These poems attempt to illuminate a womans experience of her world. They further attempt to suggest the need for Whitmans notion of the need for an increasingly capacious imagination. Perhaps men are not from Mars and women from Venus. Adrienne Rich suggests, there is hope for a common language more in harmony with the truth, reality, and ambiguity of the natural world. And perhaps after all, even with the angst and anxiety of living in this world, we are all poets, soul-searching people, all of whom experience quotidian ecstasymoments of the pure joy of living, mystery, and incomprehensibleness, bringing delight and clarity, affirming and confirming the wondrous miracle of our lives.

Book Description
This is book four in the Earth's Survivors series. The planet is reeling from an extinction event. Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes; all started after a near miss from a rouge meteor. The living are few, but those who have survived are picking up the pieces and looking for other survivors... Somehow it seemed that with John's death they had lost their drive to get out of the city: They had settled into the factory and within a few days others had begun to join them. At first Bear had done his best to dissuade them, silence and moodiness seemed to be his only persona for most of that time, but Madison and Cammy welcomed newcomers and got them set up with sleeping areas inside the factory. They also organized daily outings for supplies, and that enabled Bear to get a better idea of the area they were in. They had left in the early morning of May 2nd, Bear and Cammy on foot, Madison and Rob, one of the newcomers, in a truck to cruise the fields looking for deer or cows which seemed to be everywhere you looked, at least until you wanted one, Madison had joked...
