The book provides a pre-settlement historical account of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands and Christmas Island in their Indian Ocean context. The project began as a search for clues to locations of two 18th century Dutch shipwrecks, and was expanded into a general account of the early island histories and associated mythological Indian Ocean islands and creatures.

One reader’s account of the story is: “An ample supply of adventure and hilarity in an entertaining trip across our land featuring a magnificent landscape of characters that comprise America.” The tale involves a cash-starved farmer who attempts to supplement his income by delivery driving motor homes from factory to dealers through the nation and Canada. His intentions are in constant battle between his bad self and good, in opposition from his wife and friends, and in conflict with his farming obligations. Themes cover how this “scaredy-cat wimp” strangely obtains the position, driving up mountains twice unintentionally, trouble and woe when making deliveries to various destinations, weather problems, kidnapping, mechanical breakdowns, a drivers room where arguments flow fast and loose, advice on how to overcome sleepiness while driving, furrowing little pigs while the wife was having a baby, trips to Canada that went sour, ridiculous advice given to motor home drivers, churches that should not have been attended, as well as silly descriptions of motor homes, difficulties following employer’s demands, and facing dealers with impossible expectations. This is a fast-paced tale of travel, adventure, humor, farming, motor homes, and weird characters. A surprise ending waits!

No one looking ahead at the middle of the last century could have foreseen the extent and the importance of the ensuing environmental crises. Now, more than a decade into the next century, no one can ignore it. A New Environmental Ethics: the Next Millennium for Life on Earth offers clear, powerful, and oftentimes moving thoughts from one of the first and most respected philosophers to write on the environment. Rolston, an early and leading pioneer in studying the moral relationship between humans and the earth, surveys the full spectrum of approaches in the field of environmental ethics. This book, however, is not simply a judicious overview. Instead, it offers critical assessments of contemporary academic accounts and draws on a lifetime of research and experience to suggest an outlook for the future. As a result, this focused, forward-looking analysis will be a necessary complement to any balanced textbook or anthology in environmental ethics, and will teach its readers to be responsible global citizens, and residents of their landscape, helping ensure that the future we have will be the one we wish for.

Such men are alien to decency They have no respect for their fellow man Those are arrogant and self-assured in their contempt For others of their kind, those are liar’s thieves and hypocrites Those are greedy and sinful men that exploit all manner of opportunity Those are exclusive and stand apart from most other men and they have no shame Some live in the finest places, fit for a King while being less than the lowest of creatures The contest is as it has always been The contest is between God as Father Son and Holy Ghost And the Devil as is found hiding in weak, dull and corruptible men Both exist as an Idea and a Spirit and cannot be discounted. Both are a part of Humanities destiny

Maine Acadia National Park is one of the most visited national parks in the United States. It is an adventure seeker's paradise. Hiking, climbing, snowshoeing, back-country skiing, and ice-climbing are among the activities pursued there; as well as the less extreme sight seeing along the Park Road and Atlantic coast. Death in Acadia gathers the stories of fatalities that have occurred in the park, from falls to exposure to cardiac arrest--even getting swept out to sea--and presents dozens of misadventures.
