Observing Earth's Lifestyle is an attempt at sharing one geographer's perspective on how Earth lives. The writer lives in North America, where the indigenous peoples have lived for thousands of years, locked into Earth's lifestyle. They understood Earth's lifestyle in ways that today's modern society are just beginning to understand.Observing Earth's Lifestyle begins with a description of the way the plant works. It proceeds to highlight the contrast between Earth's lifestyle and our modern lifestyle. It outlines the consequences of the modern departure from an observation of natural forces as a source of living examples to a reliance on a lifestyle that assumes a lifetime quest to achieve "human control of nature". This quest is the most prominent cause of today's climate crisis.Traditional societies existed for tens of thousands of years before the modern era. They conformed to the harmony of Earth's lifestyle. Our modern lifestyle of the past few hundred years has imposed its will on the land hoping to "improve on nature" through a variety of technological manipulations. This has caused nature to adapt its weather and climate to maintain its own overall harmony of operations. The resulting climate is becoming increasingly inhospitable to human survival. The problem is especially critical in the USA, where the government is unprepared to face up to the consequences of living in combat with the natural environment. Earth's lifestyle includes several routine, but inconvenient natural events, which were taken into account by traditional societies and accommodated in their daily lives to allow them to live in relative safety on the planet. In modern society, however, these events are routinely ignored, often leading to "natural disasters". The author, David Romain, applies his economic development and urban planning expertise to his geographic analysis of the global climate crisis and its projected limits on future generations. He feels strongly that we owe it to our grandchildren to do our utmost to abandon our assault on the natural environment and revert to genuine Earth stewardship, with a particular focus on using Earth's resources in a sustainable manner. In appropriate humility, we need to acknowledge our subordination to Earth's environment and be mature in our response to the current global climate crisis.

This book shows how our new-found ability to observe the Earth from “the necessary distance” has wide and profound cultural and ethical implications. First of all, it is the outcome of speculations and investigations of human beings in relation to their home planet carried out over millennia. In particular, it reveals a split between the ancient idea of the Earth as nurturing mother and the more recent conception of the Earth as a neutral resource able to be infinitely exploited by humankind. The 1968 Earthrise photograph, showing the beauty and fragility of the Earth, helped spark a worldwide environmental movement; now the comprehensive coverage of global change provided by satellites has the potential to convince us beyond reasonable doubt of the huge alterations being wrought upon the Earth and its climate system as a result of human actions, and of the need to act more responsibly.

The author's focus and intention for this book was provoked by several stimuli. One is that more than 50 percent of the world's population is under twenty-five years of age, and for the most part not formed by the church. Secondly, in the coffee shop where he hangs out, when his conversation partners learn of his long career as a pastor, they inevitably ask about the church: "What in the world is the church? What is its purpose?" And thirdly, it is provoked by the lament of a very gifted journalist and editor who rejected his strict Christian upbringing and has been in his adult years an avowed agnostic--but who recently, while visiting a monastery in Spain and hearing the monks chant their evening prayers, sensed a longing for what he had forsaken. These three stimuli have inspired this attempt at an alternative narrative to the essence of the church, an attempt to give a definition to an inquirer from square one. This book may not resonate with those who are content with religious Christianity and its familiar institutions. Its timely message is this: the church has got to be a thrilling and purposeful dimension of the good news of Jesus Christ.

With a new afterword, Why You Are Here: A speech on the opening of the COP26 climate summit As a young man, I felt I was out there in the wild, experiencing the untouched natural world - but it was an illusion. The tragedy of our time has been happening all around us, barely noticeable from day to day - the loss of our planet's wild places, its biodiversity. I have been witness to this decline. A Life on Our Planet contains my witness statement, and my vision for the future - the story of how we came to make this, our greatest mistake, and how, if we act now, we can yet put it right. We have the opportunity to create the perfect home for ourselves and restore the wonderful world we inherited. All we need is the will do so.

In the creation of Earth's Elders, Jerry Friedman met, interviewed and photographed some of the world's oldest elders – 110 years old or older (supercentenarians, as researchers call them). Jerry Friedman, photographer, author and founder of Earth's Elders, spent four years on a landmark project to introduce the world to the sixty oldest people on earth. Using his lens to capture a community that has never before been documented, the award-winning photographer has shed new light on the "invisible" world of people 110 years and older. With each visit on his globetrotting journey to capture the lives of these "super centenarians," Friedman gained a deeper understanding of what the elderly in every culture have to offer. Inspired by the opportunity to improve the quality of life of the elderly, to teach children to recognize the wisdom and value of the elderly as essential parts of our society, and to improve the health of our communities through intergenerational tolerance and communication, Friedman created Earth’s Elders.

An essential, introductory text for marine engineering students covering the fundamental earth-observation concepts that underpin all space-based terrestrial and maritime remote sensing methods. Satellite-based earth observation provides key weather and environmental information to all nations, including key maritime users such as navy, coastguard and merchant vessels. The application and understanding of electromagnetic wave-based devices and sensors is an established merchant sea service requirement, found in the Standards in Training and Certification in Watchkeeping (STCW95) qualification and various Maritime Coastguard Agency exams. It is vital that maritime and land-based users have a basic understanding of the concepts upon which these essential earth-observation systems now operate. The book is written as simply as possible to support the growing numbers of overseas students for whom English is not their first language. It provides a firm foundation prior to reading and studying of the Reeds Marine Engineering series, and is complementary to other volumes in the Introductions series. Maritime and land-based students and scientists having read this easy-to-read volume will be better prepared for more in-depth study.
