Seven Angels for Seven Days
Author: Angelina Fast-VlaarPublisher: Castle Quay Books
ISBN: 1894860942
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
Angelina Fast-Vlaar recounts the true story of a dream camping trip through the Australian outback with her husband Peter, which produces an untimely encounter with death, and an adventure more amazing than they could have ever dreamed. We are told that we sometimes entertain angels unaware, but never did Angelina imagine that God would send “not one,” but seven encounters with “angels” in the remote outback to help her cope with a drastic turn of events. This amazing “trip of a lifetime” will leave readers chilled and constantly moving between deep sorrow and bubbling joy. Angelina’s gripping account of her personal struggle with lonlieness, depression, and intense grief becomes a major tribute to the grace and love of God. Seven Angels for Seven Days is a must-read for believers. Winner of the 2004 First-time Canadian Christian Author award.
Intruders in the Bush
Author: John CarrollPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
Intruders In The Bush challenges the bushman legend and presents evidence that it was discontented urban intellectuals in the 1890s who romanticised the bushman and his notions of mateship and eglatiarianism. John Carroll and several other contributors argue that a guilt-stricken, culturally bashful upper middle class promoted the mateship myth and failed to install its own values. The book goes on to look at ways in which Australia has been re-examined in recent books and art. The second edition has been revised and reshaped, and includes major new pieces by Chris Wallace-Crabbe, John Hirst, Robert Manne and John Carroll.
Common Ground
Author: Geneviève Massard-GuilbaudPublisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1443826014
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 415
Book Description
Today’s environmental problems—climate change, loss of biodiversity, polluted air, land, and water—all have their origins to a greater or lesser extent in how we have lived, played and worked. At a time when societies are confronted with the often dramatic consequences of past choices made in the fields of energy, technology, industry, agriculture, urbanisation and consumption, we need a history that casts more light on the ways in which unsustainable human-nature relationships came into being. This means forging stronger connections between social and environmental history. Common Ground opens up a dialogue between two sub-disciplines that to date have remained largely parallel endeavours, bringing together both established and younger scholars from both fields to explore how people’s everyday lives have connected to their environments—and with what effects. The book is organised in six sections: leisure and environment; nature and conservation; environmental conflicts; folk and scientific knowledge; environmental disasters; and energy, industry and urban infrastructure. By exploring the complex interplay between people’s day-to-day activities and ecological change, especially the values, beliefs and environmental experiences of ordinary men and women, we can better understand our past relationships with nature and perhaps make more informed planning and policy choices in the future.
