Media is everywhere. It has become engrained in every part of out lives. As our media literacy, access, and usage has evolved exponentially, we have an all-encompassing need and desire to no longer just be a bystander or spectator, but to be an active participant.

A colorful walk through the life and career of a person who has served as a special investigator, nonprofit foundation communications director, university spokesperson, professor and was a high-end EF3 tornado and bus crash survivor, Dr. Matt Charles provides case studies from a guy who generally ends up being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

When two church mice are forced from a comfortable living, migration in search of new quarters exposes the tiny pair to the rawer side of mouse existence, where vulnerabilities evoke some frightful days that could be their last. Grappling with the liabilities of small body size and brief lifespans, hope of survival relies on sheer will until an assuring friendship and real need of help comes from an unexpected canine foe turned friend. In time the pair of struggling mice show themselves capable of withstanding grave predicaments. This they do by gratitude for each other and affection for a junkyard dog seemingly having suffered rejection by life itself and a separated mate he still loves. Larry 0. Harwood is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy and History at Viterbo University in La Crosse, Wisconsin, and occasional Visiting Professor at Tyndale Theological Seminary in Badhoevedorp, Netherlands. Elspeth Harwood is a library worker at the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

From his vantage point at Nighthawk Ranch overlooking the Thompson River, Ehor Boyanowsky distills his encounters with the people, plants and wildlife that the river valley nurtures into a mythology of her denizens, all beautiful, some dangerous, a few deadly. The poems range from formal verse to experiments with emerging technology to weave a legacy of life in the British Columbia desert.

Nick Adams is Ernest Hemingway's most important and best-liked character. Nick is, in many ways, Hemingway himself, his alter ego: his remembered or imagined self in the earlier stories and his projected better self in many of the later ones. Once Ernest Hemingway created the character of Nick Adams in "Indian Camp," he couldn't let go. More than a dozen remarkable stories chart Nick's growth from childhood through adolescence to early and mature manhood. Like Nick Adams, Jake Barnes of The Sun Also Rises is a Hemingway surrogate, an American soldier injured on the Italian front who falls hopelessly in love with his hospital nurse. Like Nick, Jake is a reader, writer, traveler, and outdoorsman who confronts an often enigmatic and inhospitable world with intelligence, courage, and grace under pressure.

How can Americans shrink our large carbon footprints to something closer to the world average? And how can we do this while making room-and homes-for our seventy million new Americans the Census Bureau says will be here by 2060? And lastly, how can we start planning to create resettlement communities for the millions of American homes and businesses that will be displaced by sea level rise in the coming decades and centuries? Half of our states are coastal, and we need to plan. This book ties together the various elements of a new planned cities program and describes how "green" or sustainable cities will be different from cities of the industrial age. It does so by turning much of what we know about city development on its head. The book isn't just about sustainable building; that's part one, and part two addresses the multiple issues around how to create a place that thrives.
