Book Description
From the first dog to the first beefalo, from farming to CRISPR, the human history of remaking nature When the 2020 Nobel Prize was awarded to the inventors of CRISPR, the revolutionary gene-editing tool, it underlined our amazing and apparently novel powers to alter nature. But as biologist Beth Shapiro argues in Life as We Made It, this phenomenon isn’t new. Humans have been reshaping the world around us for ages, from early dogs to modern bacteria modified to pump out insulin. Indeed, she claims, reshaping nature—resetting the course of evolution, ours and others’—is the essence of what our species does. In exploring our evolutionary and cultural history, Shapiro finds a course for the future. If we have always been changing nature to help us survive and thrive, then we need to avoid naive arguments about how we might destroy it with our meddling, and instead ask how we can meddle better. Brilliant and insightful, Life as We Made It is an essential book for the decades to come.

Book Description
We all have a path that we must walk in life that leads to an expected end. In this walk of life when we overcome situations, we are expected to share our testimony so that others may know how we overcame them. In doing so, it encourages others to keep going. Revelation 12:11 says, “They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.” How I Made It Through is a heartwarming and inspirational true living testimony from Pastor Parthenia Stegall that the Lord placed on her to share with the world. Her testimony details various points of her life, both highs and lows, and how God allowed her to overcome and become a beacon for others. It is the amazing story of how at a young age, she recognized the calling in her life and answered. In doing so, she learned to put God first in her life and recognized that it was Him who allowed her to overcome every obstacle that came her way. This uplifting autobiography will encourage readers in their everyday struggles dealing with life as a young person, a sister, a wife, a mother, and most importantly a woman of God. We are instructed in Proverbs 3:5–6 to “trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths.” It will inspire readers to trust in and always put God first. We invite you to enjoy and learn from her testimony as she shares with us the missionary work God called her to do throughout her life and prays it stimulates and encourages you to fulfill your mission.

Book Description
I wanted to inspire others with my book. It is for the people who are still in the dark and who may think there is no way out of their very own darkness. I am a survivor and I am a fighter. If I didn’t have Jesus in my heart I’d probably be in jail, still on drugs, or maybe even dead. Jesus is my light and you are not alone. You are not the only one who has suffered from pain, heartaches and disappointments. Jesus himself suffered in this world. Out of all the people, he was and still is a true definition of a good person. He gave it all up for you and me just so we can know he is God. He is love. He is my lord and savior and he can be yours too. I would have never made it this far without Jesus and I wanted you to know there is hope for all the brokenhearted who seek him.

Book Description
Born in England in 1926 in the historic naval port of Plymouth, David Tidboald now enjoys his retirement in Simon’s Town, South Africa’s equivalent. Improbably enough, it was while doing national service in the Royal Navy that he was sent, at the end of World War II, to Berlin and was there presented with opportunities that led to his career in music. In 1960, he was appointed to the fi rst of the three orchestras in South Africa of which he was resident conductor, two of which he was instrumental in forming from scratch. While occupying these positions, as well as during the freelance years that preceded them, he worked with many of the greatest musicians, singers and dancers of the age. From Alicia Markova and Margot Fonteyn to Birgit Nilsson and Anna Russell, as conductor and also, in the earlier years, as pianist. This book tells of these fascinating people and also affords glimpses of a life of enviable variety.
