Earthrise by Robert Poole,Robert K. Poole Pdf

Earthrise tells the remarkable story of the first photographs of Earth from space and the totally unexpected impact of those images. The Apollo “Earthrise” and “Blue Marble” photographs were beamed across the world some forty years ago. They had an astounding effect, Robert Poole explains, and in fact transformed thinking about the Earth and its environment in a way that echoed throughout religion, culture, and science. Gazing upon our whole planet for the first time, we saw ourselves and our place in the universe with new clarity. Poole delves into new areas of research and looks at familiar history from fresh perspectives. With intriguing anecdotes and wonderful pictures, he examines afresh the politics of the Apollo missions, the challenges of whole Earth photography, and the story of the behind-the-scenes struggles to get photographs of the Earth put into mission plans. He traces the history of imagined visions of Earth from space and explores what happened when imagination met reality. The photographs of Earth represented a turning point, Poole contends. In their wake, Earth Day was inaugurated, the environmental movement took off, and the first space age ended. People turned their focus back toward Earth, toward the precious and fragile planet we call home.

EarthRise by William C. Dietz Pdf

After the vicious, insect-like aliens called the Saurons invaded Earth and killed billions, they enslaved the survivors, forcing them to build mysterious temples under brutal conditions. In an effort to control their human slaves, the Saurons install a puppet president to keep them under control. But President Alexander Franklin and Chief of Security Jack Manning aren't about to play along. Rebellion is in the air, and the fight for freedom is spreading far and wide, from the center of activity in Washington to the distant lands of Guatemala. A diverse group of rebels, including an ex-FBI agent, a doctor inside the heart of enemy territory, and the president will have to band together with a host of other insurgents from across war-torn Earth to overcome impossible odds if they're to save what's left of humankind. With non-stop action and a remarkable cast of characters, the epic conclusion to William C. Dietz’s DeathDay is a thrilling tale of adversity, rebellion, strength and humanity in a futuristic world where the survival of the many lies in the hands of the brave few.

Earthrise by Edgar Mitchell,Ellen Mahoney,Dr. Brian Cox Pdf

The inspiring and fascinating biography of the sixth man to ever walk on the Moon Of the nearly seven billion people who live on Earth, only 12 have walked on the Moon and Dr. Edgar Mitchell was one of them. Earthrise is a vibrant memoir for young adults featuring the life story of this internationally known Apollo 14 astronaut. The book focuses on Edgar's amazing journey to the Moon in 1971 and highlights the many steps he took to get there, including growing up as a farm boy on a ranch; living in Roswell, New Mexico, during the alleged UFO crash; graduating from Carnegie Mellon and MIT; being a navy combat pilot; and becoming a NASA astronaut. In engaging and suspenseful prose he details his historic flight to the Moon, describing everything from the very practical—eating, sleeping, and going to the bathroom in space—to the metaphysical, such as the life-changing sensation of connectedness to the universe that he felt and that has been described, in varying degrees, by many astronauts. Extensive resources include annotated lists of websites about space, museums and organizations, films and videos, and books for further reading.

Heaven on Earth by Joshua Muravchik Pdf

"The search for the Promised Land took socialists in diverse directions: revolution, communes and kibbutzim, social democracy, communism, fascism, Third Worldism. But none of these paths led to the prophesied utopia. Nowhere did socialists succeed in creating societies of easy abundance or in midwifing the birth of a "New Man," as their theory promised. Some socialist governments abandoned their grandiose goals and satisfied themselves with making slight modifications to capitalism, while others plowed ahead doggedly, often inducing staggering human catastrophes. Then, after two hundred years of wishful thinking and fitful governance, socialism suddenly imploded in the 1990s in a fin du siecle drama of falling walls, collapsing regimes and frantic revisions of doctrine."--BOOK JACKET.

Earthrise by Dwight Cathcart Pdf

LGBTQ people do not have a literature that reflects us. We differ by race, class, geography, gender, and age, and our fiction ignores most of us. We don't have novels about LGBTQ people who are discriminated against and abused and murdered. This is the result of the publishing industry, but it is also a result of our writers, who hesitate to write about the real lives of LGBTQ people. We know we are being abused, and our literature doesn't show us LGBTQ people who rebel. The Earthrise essays explore the effect of that failure.

Earthrise: Conscious Creation of UBUNTU/Contributionism Communities by Michael Moriarty Pdf

This book picks up where my last book, The Awakening of Humanity: What You Need to Know, left off--with a possible future timeline that leads to a New Earth. The political and economic foundation of that New Earth civilization lies in UBUNTU/Contributionism Communities. In this book, I explain what it will take to create/attract such Communities, and why it is of some urgency that those who wish to live in them begin to create/attract them now.

Cosmic Voice Volume No. 3 by George King Pdf

Cosmic Voice Volume No. 3 contains articles from Issues Nos. 11-14 of Cosmic Voice published by The Aetherius Society in 1957-1958. In the early Transmissions from the Cosmic Masters they warned us in many ways of the great dangers of atomic weapons and atomic radiations in all forms. One Transmission called “You Are Responsible” describes the horrors of what could happen on Earth and what happened to the Planet Maldek before mankind came to Earth. This volume also contains Transmissions from the Master Jesus, telling us among other things where he came from, namely the planet Venus. Also included is an excellent article “The Seven Dimensions of Creation” written by Dr. George King after visiting a large spacecraft known as Satellite No. 3. At that time, he was shown detailed functions and operation of Satellite No. 3, demonstrating sciences way ahead of anything yet on our world. There are many Cosmic Transmissions and articles in Cosmic Voice Volume No. 3, including: You Are Responsible, Let In The Light, Radio-Activity And Mutation, The Danger Of Etheric Distortion, The One Who Came In Grace, Ye Are Gods, The Seven Dimensions Of Creation, Man’s Possibilities and many others. The Cosmic Voices published by The Aetherius Society from 1955 up to 1962 represent in many ways the foundation of the teachings of The Aetherius Society. Together with The Twelve Blessings delivered in 1958 and The Nine Freedoms given in 1961 these teachings contain profound wisdom and revelations given in a straightforward simple way for anyone to understand and act upon to bring about greater peace and spiritual enlightenment on our world. These teachings do not contradict the ancient wisdom but present the truths in a more modern way to help us build a world of greater spiritual unity and brotherhood where all people work together for the common good.

Shrinking the Earth by Donald Worster Pdf

The discovery of the Americas around 1500 AD was an extraordinary watershed in human experience. It gave rise to the modern period of human ecology, a phenomenon global in scope that set in motion profound changes in almost every society on earth. This new period, which saw the depletion of the lands of the New World, proved tragic for some, triumphant for others, and powerfully affecting for all. In this work, acclaimed environmental historian Donald Worster takes a global view in his examination of the ways in which complex issues of worldwide abundance and scarcity have shaped American society and behavior over three centuries. Looking at the limits nature imposes on human ambitions, he questions whether America today is in the midst of a shift from a culture of abundance to a culture of limits-and whether American consumption has become reliant on the global South. Worster engages with key political, economic, and environmental thinkers while presenting his own interpretation of the role of capitalism and government in issues of wealth, abundance, and scarcity. Acknowledging the earth's agency throughout human history, Shrinking the Earth offers a compelling explanation of how we have arrived where we are and a hopeful way forward on a planet that is no longer as large as it once was.
