The Rocks Don't Lie: A Geologist Investigates Noah's Flood
Author: David R. MontgomeryPublisher: W. W. Norton & Company
ISBN: 0393083969
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 305
Book Description
How the mystery of the Bible's greatest story shaped geology: a MacArthur Fellow presents a surprising perspective on Noah's Flood. In Tibet, geologist David R. Montgomery heard a local story about a great flood that bore a striking similarity to Noah’s Flood. Intrigued, Montgomery began investigating the world’s flood stories and—drawing from historic works by theologians, natural philosophers, and scientists—discovered the counterintuitive role Noah’s Flood played in the development of both geology and creationism. Steno, the grandfather of geology, even invoked the Flood in laying geology’s founding principles based on his observations of northern Italian landscapes. Centuries later, the founders of modern creationism based their irrational view of a global flood on a perceptive critique of geology. With an explorer’s eye and a refreshing approach to both faith and science, Montgomery takes readers on a journey across landscapes and cultures. In the process we discover the illusive nature of truth, whether viewed through the lens of science or religion, and how it changed through history and continues changing, even today.

So what would you do with all your money, fancy cars, big houses, jewelries, and your most prized possessions, when the earth’s surface will now be smelted by the fiery sun and will eat away the earth’s entire atmosphere, and vaporize this into nonexistence? Kevin knows this as early as 1980 when the DEWA (Department of Early Warning Assessment) in a false report to the UN environmental program agencies at a UN conference in Nairobi, Kenya. Kevin is thrown into a web of deception, and just before the very important UN Budget Committee meeting, his boss suddenly and unexpectedly falls ill. Taking his boss’ place at the meeting, he is threatened, coerced, and blackmailed. To make matters worse, his sister and his girlfriend have been abducted. Now with the help of his brother-in-law, Ray Reynolds, an elite military commando, the two is thrown into a race with time to save their loved ones, and thwarts the conspiracy not only inside the UN, but what Mother nature herself have kept secret – a secret so big, bigger than the UN, and much bigger than the world itself. Will Kevin be successful in finding out the truth? Will Ray at Sound beach, with the help of God, be able to accommodate all the evacuees from all over the world? The Sun Day biblically chronicles about the apocalyptic times, the end of the sun - known as the Red Giant, and it shows the human nature of the people in how they cope with crisis. Learn how a person can transform from personal greed and fighting each other for food; to helping others and self-sacrifice. It also tells about the UN and how it leads the world to survival and human-preservation. But most importantly, it tells about family, community, brotherhood, helping-hands, and Christian love.

Category : History

Pages : 294
Book Description
A new 100th anniversary edition of the only adult book on one of the odder disasters in US history—and the greed, disregard for poor immigrants, and lack of safety standards that led to it. Around noon on January 15, 1919, a group of firefighters were playing cards in Boston’s North End when they heard a tremendous crash. It was like roaring surf, one of them said later. Like a runaway two-horse team smashing through a fence, said another. A third firefighter jumped up from his chair to look out a window—“Oh my God!” he shouted to the other men, “Run!” A 50-foot-tall steel tank filled with 2.3 million gallons of molasses had just collapsed on Boston’s waterfront, disgorging its contents as a 15-foot-high wave of molasses that at its outset traveled at 35 miles an hour. It demolished wooden homes, even the brick fire station. The number of dead wasn’t known for days. It would be years before a landmark court battle determined who was responsible for the disaster.

Environmental Management and Sustainable Development of Cities
Author: Soji OyeranmiPublisher: Ethics International Press
ISBN: 180441073X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 391
Book Description
This study contends that proper urban environmental management strategies are vital to the sustainable development of cities in any country. It demonstrates that cities as drivers of sustainable development can be positive forces in support of social equality, cultural vitality, economic prosperity and environmental sustainability. It takes a primary focus on Ibadan, Nigeria. Most cities in sub-Saharan Africa have become badly degraded. Leaders and planners rarely fully grasp the meaning of the concept of sustainable development, and fail to combine their bids to achieve economic development with urban environmental management strategies. The book describes how reformation and transformation are still possible, in Ibadan and elsewhere, and discusses the Sustainable Ibadan Project (SIP) as a methodology to turn Ibadan into a globally competitive and sustainable city. It will be of interest to urban planners worldwide, and to researchers and students of the Global South.
