God has set the stage for our life story to be acted out on and with the gift of a free will, it's up to each of us to decide what role we want to play; wilderness wanderers as the Israelites of ancient times, so close to the Promised Land yet not permitted to enter; or a believer in God's eternal promises fulfilled in Christ. There are only two options. God does have a plan for humanity; he has set forth a calendar, established a timetable; and we all live along that timetable, somewhere from its beginning, to the end of all human rule on Earth. He needs each of us to start again spiritually, to become willing participants in the inward transformation of our disposition, ready for the day to come. Becoming a Christian is easy. Maintaining the claim that Christ lives in you will be the most challenging, life-changing experience. How do we change our inner self to take on Christlikeness? How do we react in times when our faith is put to the test; - times of unknowables, those things sometimes beyond the limits of human experience or understanding? The primary purpose of this book is to introduce the real God, because if we seek a relationship with him, we must think of it in terms of a valuable human relationship. There needs to be a degree of attractiveness; we need to share similar values as God possesses to even begin to flourish and grow.

When Angus's grandmother passes away, she leaves her entire three-million-dollar inheritance to her three grandchildren, deliberately excluding her greedy sons. She asks her lawyer, the captivating Scarlett, to execute her will and safeguard the grandchildren's futures. But Scarlett harbours a secret: she alone knows the location of the inheritance money. As she desperately seeks true love after a failed relationship, she finds herself strangely drawn to Vincent, an alluring tarot card reader who seems to understand her like no one else. But is Vincent real or too good to be true? Meanwhile, Angus fights to secure what he sees as his rightful share of inheritance from his own late father. But his mother has other plans for the money. In the wake of his grandmother's death, long-buried family secrets come to light and the race for the inheritance takes unexpected twists and turns. Told through a lens of magic, intrigue and mystery, A Grand Inheritance is a page-turning family saga exploring the bitter legacy of inheritance. At its emotional core, one woman's search for self and love. Will Scarlett embrace true love at last or be consumed by family greed?

Mankind is on a crash course with destiny and doesn't seem to have a clue! We are witnessing rapidly accelerating global warming of our own making that could potentially result in species extinctions, including our own. Witness widespread signs of the impending disaster including super storms, record drought, floods, forest fires and climate refugees. Dangerous nuclear saber rattling by Russia and North Korea is on the upswing and the Russian invasion of Ukraine threatens to expand to Western Europe. The increasing number of fascist, autocratic, dictator-run states such as China, North Korea, Turkey, and Brazil are snuffing individual freedoms, denying social justice and fanning the flames of global conflict. The world's population is rapidly approaching eight billion and is well past the point of Earth's ability to sustain us. Crushing poverty, starvation, and dozens of militarized religious and ethnic conflicts. We have polluted our planet with toxic chemicals, oil spills, reckless dumping of trash on land and sea, contaminating the oceans with fish and fowl killing plastic waste.This book is the result of overwhelming outrage and disappointment with our species, our failure to adequately address worldwide problems that threaten our very existence. We (if there is a 'we') should be embarrassed and ashamed. Nature has endowed us with near perfect bodies and amazing brains and for the most part we squander our evolutionary inheritance. And the greatest gift of all, consciousness, is under-developed in most of us. In this collection of essays, the author offers insights into the human condition, the reasons we have run afoul of the natural order, along solutions to alleviate human suffering on an individual and global scale plus some playful jabs at our human folly.

Fünfzig Jahre nachdem Neil Armstrong, Besatzungsmitglied der Apollo 11, zum ersten Mal in der Geschichte der Menschheit seinen linken Fuß auf die Oberfläche des Mondes setzte, ist die Faszination für den Erdtrabanten ungebrochen. NASA Apollo 11 - Man on the Moon handelt von der Reise der Astronauten zum Mond und dokumentiert die visuellen Ergebnisse, die die drei Besatzungsmitglieder mitbrachten. Sie waren mit einer Hasselblad 500EL DATA Camera, mit Reseauplatten und einer Zeiss Biogon 60mm f/5.6 Linse ausgestattet, um vor und während der Mission Aufnahmen zu machen. Das entstandene Bildmaterial kann im Webarchiv der NASA eingesehen werden. NASA Apollo 11 - Man on the Moon zeigt es erstmals in seiner Vollständigkeit. Die Reihe Discovered ist eine Kooperation zwischen der Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg, der Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig und der Staatlichen Akademie der Bildenden Künste Stuttgart, die ausgewählte studentische Projekte mit einer Veröffentlichung bei Spector Books auszeichnet.
