The Geology Book
Rocks firmly anchored to the ground and rocks floating through space fascinate us. Jewelry, houses, and roads are just some of the ways we use what has been made from geologic processes to advance civilization. Whether scrambling over a rocky beach, or gazing at spectacular meteor showers, we can't get enough of geology!
The Geology Book will teach you:
What really carved the Grand Canyon.
How thick the Earth's crust is.
The varied features of the Earth's surface - from plains to peaks.
How sedimentary deposition occurs through water, wind, and ice.
Effects of erosion.
Ways in which sediments become sedimentary rock.
Fossilization and the age of the dinosaurs.
The powerful effects of volcanic activity.
Continental drift theory.
Radioisotope and carbon dating.
Geologic processes of the past.
Our planet is a most suitable home. Its practical benefits are also enhanced by the sheer beauty of rolling hills, solitary plains, churning seas and rivers, and majestic mountains - all set in place by processes that are relevant to today's entire population of this spinning rock we call home.
Tresselt’s classic story of The Dead Tree is given new life in this gloriously illustrated volume. The role of an oak tree in the cycle of nature is revealed as an ancient tree, even as it dies and returns to the earth, provides nourishment for new life all around it.
From the publisher:
“With warmth and humor, the beloved author and Caldecott Honor illustrator Paul Galdone masterfully retells the generations-old fairy tale of the Gingerbread Boy who escapes one mouth only to find himself in another. After the cookie boy’s dramatic escape from the little old woman’s oven, he runs and runs, shouting “Catch me if you can!” to his various hungry pursuers, the last of whom is a smarty-pants fox who eats him—gulp!"
There’s a strong biblical connection between people and trees. They both come from dirt. They’re both told to bear fruit. In fact, arboreal language is so often applied to humans that it’s easy to miss, whether we're talking about family trees, passing along our seed, cutting someone off like a branch, being rooted to a place, or bearing the fruit of the Spirit. It’s hard to deny that trees mean something, theologically speaking.
The Golden Children’s Bible was chosen because of its slightly simplified, but poetically appealing, King James text, along with its beautiful and age-appropriate illustrations.
This is important because we believe students should learn to revere the Bible as a sacred book, distinct from modern adventure stories with cartoon heroes.
In this last book in the trilogy about Gabrielle Allan, the reader finds Gay and her Great-Aunt Belle about to start a new life in a setting far different from their much-loved Drovers Road. The sheep station of Cape Lost is now Gay’s responsibility and, despite her three years’ study at the Massey Agricultural College, both the isolation and tasks ahead seem alarming. For such a remote and nearly inaccessible spot, however, surprising arrays of new and old characters meet on its windswept, sea-edged expanse. First, the shearing crew turns up, without their cook, just as Gay’s manager quits.
As soon as that dilemma is faced, and Gay and her aunt are again alone, there’s a knock on the door—coming immediately after a radio warning about an escaped prisoner! At the Christmas gathering of the entire Allan clan, Gay’s enjoyment is severely hampered by something she’s got hidden in the shed. And when a new manager is finally found, Gay unexpectedly gains his unhappy daughter and romantic-minded son. While she is glad for the love and support of her family—and friends, such as Simon Ware and Clive Scott—Gay grows as she learns to bear the responsibility for her own decisions, the bad as well as the good. The landscape of Gay’s world has altered in more ways than one, but facing its varied challenges promises to bring to her all the belonging and stability her home-loving heart desires.
In this final book of the Drover's Road Collection, Joyce West deftly brings her colorful tapestry of New Zealand country life, of a time now past, to a satisfying finish.
Young friends Tangle and Mossy undertake an epic adventure in the Faerie realm when they go in search of the "land whence the shadows fall."
In this graphic novel adaptation by illustrator Stephen Hesselman, George MacDonald's beloved fairy tale comes to life in stunning color and imagery.
In the nine months since Tumbleweed Thompson left the town of Rattlesnake Junction, Colorado, for life on the road with the Coyote Pete Frontier Show, Eugene Appleton has found himself yearning for a taste of the adventures he imagines his new friend having on the American frontier.
In simple, lyrical language, appropriate for young readers, Tomie dePaola introduces the best-known parables of Jesus, including the Mustard Seed, the Prodigal Son, and the Lost Sheep.
"All you beasts, wild and tame, bless the Lord; praise and exalt him above all forever." - Daniel 3:81
The long awaited book that finally gives voice to the animals from the Gospel!
An historical novel in which the whole story of Cromwell’s dealings with Parliament and the King is played out. It is written with dignity and conviction, and with the author’s characteristic power of grasping the essential details needed to supply colour and atmosphere for the reader of the standard histories.
From the Publisher:Giving generously, even sacrificially, is part of radical Christian discipleship. In this booklet John Stott takes us through the Apostle Paul's teaching on giving.
When we consider our own giving—to our local churches, to world mission, to building projects, to friends in need, or to charities—how do we decide what to give? In what spirit do we give? For a Christian, all our giving has a special dimension. It is for the glory of God, and the act of giving becomes a blessing to us as givers. There are times in our lives when this is indeed our experience, but as our income grows or circumstances change we can drift, or become less realistic in what we give.
If this booklet can help Christians think more purposefully about the way they use their resources, it will have achieved its purpose.
With a new name, but the same, thorough, clearly-outlined rules of English Grammar, The Grammar Guidebook is the second edition to The Comprehensive Handbook of Rules.
