Deeper than the ocean is a book of poetry diving into all the emotions of grief, love, and heart break. The book is divided into two chapters, before the death of a loved one and the life changing moments after. Emma tells her story beautifully, a story I believe a lot of people could relate to. And I believe reading something so relatable has a true healing essence to it.

Michigan born-and-bred Petie Singer is not happy, not happy at all! Her best friend just inherited ocean-front property in California, and Petie is suddenly Emma-less for the first time in fifty years. So when Emma invites her to help on the big cross-country move, Petie thinks that's a great idea. But from the first day, things aren't what she's expecting. It's bad enough that Emma, after just two weeks in California, seems changed almost beyond recognition: vibrant and glowing, younger somehow, full of secrets and mysteries. But when Petie gets to Emma's beachfront home, things get even stranger. And the most unexpected thing of all is the growing restlessness that grips Petie. She's never even seen an ocean before, but the closer she gets to it, the more loudly its siren song calls her. Insistent and irresistible, singing through her veins, it pulls at her, luring her until she finally plunges in and WHOOSH, is swept away on a rogue wave into a way-too-close encounter with the very heart of the sea. Three days later she's tossed back up on the beach, battered, bruised, and strangely - decorated? She's left questioning not only where she's been, but who she is and, in fact, what she is. There's only one thing she knows for sure: her life will never be the same. Even if she can stay out of the water . . . . The eagerly anticipated companion to Left Turn at Cloud 9 brings Petie and Emma back for more mystery and mischief!

Abyat-e-Bahoo (Sultan Bahoo's Sufi Poems) is considered a master piece amongst the seekers of Sufi teachings, written originally in Saraiki (dialect of Punjabi) and now exquisitely translated into English by Dr. Z. A. Awan. The reality of soul and spirit is described in most eloquent manner for the people seeking Sufi path and spiritual satisfaction of the inner most. There are sections in the book which describe key concepts of spiritualism which will also elucidate Wahdaniyat (Oneness), Risalat (the messenger's following is obedience to Allah), and other perquisites for awakening your soul-sprit to be His best friend i.e. Faqr-Faqeer (code of contentment by a contended person): Dhikr-Fikr (Remembrance, Contemplation, Love of Allah), Murshid-Mureed , Language-literature. These concepts will certainly facilitate the respected readers in understanding these deliberations. This is important for a reader to be fully familiar with terminology and concepts of Abyat . The reason for this renewed format about Sultan Bahoo's valuable contribution (Abyat) is to develop an invigorating interest for international academia.

A human and global take on a beloved vacation spot. The crash of surf, smell of salted air, wet whorls of sand underfoot. These are the sensations of the beach, that environment that has drawn humans to its life-sustaining shores for millennia. And while the gull’s cry and the cove’s splendor have remained constant throughout time, our relationship with the beach has been as fluid as the runnels left behind by the tide’s turning. The Lure of the Beach is a chronicle of humanity's history with the coast, taking us from the seaside pleasure palaces of Roman elites and the aquatic rituals of medieval pilgrims, to the venues of modern resort towns and beyond. Robert C. Ritchie traces the contours of the material and social economies of the beach throughout time, covering changes in the social status of beach goers, the technology of transport, and the development of fashion (from nudity to Victorianism and back again), as well as the geographic spread of modern beach-going from England to France, across the Mediterranean, and from nineteenth-century America to the world. And as climate change and rising sea levels erode the familiar faces of our coasts, we are poised for a contemporary reckoning with our relationship—and responsibilities—to our beaches and their ecosystems. The Lure of the Beach demonstrates that whether as a commodified pastoral destination, a site of ecological resplendency, or a flashpoint between private ownership and public access, the history of the beach is a human one that deserves to be told now more than ever before.

The riveting story of the exploration of the final frontier of our planet—the deep ocean—and history-making mission to reach the bottom of all five seas. Humankind has explored every continent on earth, climbed its tallest mountains, and gone into space. But the largest areas of our planet remain largely a mystery: the deep oceans. At over 36,000 feet deep, there areas closest to earth’s core have remained nearly impossible to reach—until now. Technological innovations, engineering breakthroughs and the derring-do of a team of explorers, led by explorer Victor Vescovo, brought together an audacious global quest to dive to the deepest points of all five oceans for the first time in history. The expedition pushed technology to the limits, mapped hidden landscapes, discover previously unknown life forms and began to piece together how life in the deep oceans effects our planet—but it was far from easy. Expedition Deep Ocean is the inside story of this exploration of one of the most unforgiving and mysterious places on our planet, including the site of the Titanic wreck and the little-understood Hadal Zone. Vescovo and his team would design the most advanced deep-diving submersible ever built, where the pressure on the sub is 8 tons per square inch—the equivalent of having 292 fueled and fully loaded 747s stacked on top of it. And then there were hurricane-laden ocean waters and the byzantine web of global oceanography politics. Expedition Deep Ocean reveals the marvelous and other-worldly life found in all five deep ocean trenches, including several new species that have posed as of yet unanswered questions about survival and migration from ocean to ocean. Then there are the newly discovered sea mounts that cause tsunamis when they are broken by shifting subduction plates and jammed back into the earth crust, something that can now be studied to predict future disasters. Filled with high drama, adventure and the thrill of discovery, Expedition Deep Ocean celebrates courage and ingenuity and reveals the majesty and meaning of the deep ocean.

"A strange plague called the 'Gets is decimating humanity on a global scale. It causes people to forget--small things at first, like where they left their keys, then the not-so-small things like how to drive or the letters of the alphabet. Then their bodies forget how to function involuntarily. There is no cure. But far below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, a universal healer hailed as 'ambrosia' has been discovered. In order to study this phenomenon, a special research lab has been built eight miles under the sea's surface. When the station goes incommunicado, a brave few descend through the lightless fathoms in hopes of unraveling the mysteries lurking at those crushing depths...and perhaps to encounter an evil blacker than anything one could possibly imagine"--Page [4] of cover.
