Pages : 210
Book Description
The dazzling success of The Toaster Project, including TV appearances and an international book tour, leaves Thomas Thwaites in a slump. His friends increasingly behave like adults, while Thwaites still lives at home, "stuck in a big, dark hole." Luckily, a research grant offers the perfect out: a chance to take a holiday from the complications of being human—by transforming himself into a goat. What ensues is a hilarious and surreal journey through engineering, design, and psychology, as Thwaites interviews neuroscientists, animal behaviorists, prosthetists, goat sanctuary workers, and goatherds. From this, he builds a goat exoskeleton—artificial legs, helmet, chest protector, raincoat from his mum, and a prosthetic goat stomach to digest grass (with help from a pressure cooker and campfire)—before setting off across the Alps on four legs with a herd of his fellow creatures. Will he make it? Do Thwaites and his readers discover what it truly means to be human? GoatMan tells all in Thwaites's inimitable style, which NPR extols as "a laugh-out- loud-funny but thoughtful guide through his own adventures."

The Camel We Christians Have Swallowed
Author: Ruth Richardson
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1412072549
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
Underway is the dawning of a new day, as the bright morning sun - representing "the sun of prophecy (Micah 3: 6)," lights the night - the darkness by which prophecy is often explained. With the light of Jesus shining brightly on the explanation of prophecy - "For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy (Revelation 19:10)," we understand it and the rest of the Bible clearly. "Truth to Share," this book's logo, is almost unseen. The title, arched overhead, represents a rainbow full of promise. The cover art is by the writer, inspired by a friend's visualization. The title itself is a word-for-word "given," as is the final section, "The Rainbow," in chapter seven. "The Camel We Christians Have Swallowed," as stated in the introduction, is not the well-known "eye of the needle" camel. It is from Matthew (23:23-24) where Jesus accused the Pharisees of straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel, neglecting the weightier matters of the law, justice, mercy and faith. (More explanation of this title is in the introduction and chapter one.)

Pages : 212
Book Description
On their farm nestled in upstate New York, veterinarian Austin McKenzie and his wife Madeline keep themselves busy looking after ailing farm animals and pets in poor health. But while they may be able to mend creatures great and small, they have yet to find a cure for murder. Before milk inspector Melvin Staples was found dead in a 400-gallon milk vat, the ladies’ man got the goat of many a Summersville resident. Possible suspects include his discus-champion, jealous wife; his paramours’ vengeful husbands; and the ancient, cane-wielding owner of Tre Sorelle goat-cheese dairy. To crack this case, Dr. McKenzie and Madeline will have to learn all they can about goats, local politics, and how to get through to the crotchety Italian widow. And along the way, the vet might just save some bleating hearts.
