"The Future of Humanity, Racing Toward Eternity" is a concise study of what the Bible says is going to take place in the future. It is an "early edition" of things to come! It deals with the end of human history and human existence as we know it. We must understand and embrace that from a biblical perspective. History is not cyclical, but linear (following in a sequential pattern). This means that history is advancing, moving forward in a purposeful way. History is racing toward a goal. That goal is eternity! God is controlling and driving history towards the fulfillment of His divine purposes for humanity. The focus of this book is to bring an awareness of God's calendar of events for the end of time! Being a part of humanity, this book is for you!
This well-researched biography of the life¿and controversial death¿of Robert LeRoy Parker, a.k.a. Butch Cassidy, is a journey across the late-nineteenth-century American West as we follow Cassidy¿s exploits in Colorado, Wyoming, and Utah, where he made his name as a surprisingly affable outlaw. More important, this book answers the question: Did Butch Cassidy, noted outlaw of the American West, survive his alleged death at the hands of Bolivian soldiers in 1908 and return to friends and family in the United States? The evidence suggesting he did is impressive and not easily dismissed, but how he lived and what identity he assumed are still debated.

Forget lobster rolls and crab cakes. The dish East Coast residents really clamor for are clam cakes and fritters. In Maine, it's a deep-fried clam patty; in Virginia, a clam-filled pancake; in Southern New England, clam doughnut holes that are a summer sacrament despite their bad nutrition, frequent greasiness and limited availability (or actually, maybe, because of those things). The Great Clam Cake and Fritter Guide digs into the origins of these cultish regional treats, profiles 50 of the best clam-cake/fritter-making restaurants and shacks and details the most significant artistic and event tributes to this food on Family Guy, in Don Bousquet cartoons and a Pulitzer Prize-winning short story, among others. Do-it-yourselfers will delight in the book's bike and car clam cake crawl itineraries, guides to cake-side beaches and 20-plus recipes. The Great Clam Cake and Fritter Guide is the definitive clam cake/fritter history, cookbook and travel guidebook, and your dream of lounging around beautiful seacoast settings stuffing your face with delicious fried seafood come true!

They are escaping the forest near her school, which is in the process of being cut down and ruining their habitat. Mya scoops up the toads and takes them to her basement while she thinks about what to do next. The next day at school, Mya asks her teacher, Mrs. Russell, how to create a new habitat for the toads. So instructed, she and Mrs. Russell dig a hole in the forest and free the toads. While foraging for sticks, Mrs. Russell upsets a bee hive and the swarm chases her back to the toads.

The following day Mrs. Russell shows Mya a letter from her state legislator which says all tree removal in the forest will end, and the toads¿ habitat will be saved.

Promoted to acting lieutenant at the bloody Battle of Camperdown in October 1797, Thomas Kydd must now sit an examination to confirm his rank-or face an inglorious return before the mast. But this is only the first of many obstacles for a man who was pressed into the King's service and discovered a calling for the sea. Kydd is from humble origins, yet he attains the lofty heights of the quarterdeck as an officer in His Majesty's Navy. If he is to avoid spending the rest of his career as a tarpaulin officer, he must also become a gentleman. Kydd and his enigmatic friend Nicholas Renzi set sail in HMS Tenacious for the North American station. Aboard the old 64-gun ship, Kydd comes to doubt he will ever match up to the high-born gentlemen officers.
With his motor yacht Sea Fox, former naval officer Philip Vivian hoped to earn a living free from the petty restrictions of everyday life, close to the sea he loved. But his dream is threatened by financial difficulties, and soon he is trapped in a web of violence and crime, torn between his past loyalties and his duty to a society he despises.
A family matter threatens to take Kydd from the life he has grown to love and he manages to ship out again on his beloved Artemis-a voyage that will take him to the fabled East and present him with fierce challenges, both personal and physical.
Crammed with refugees, harried and bombed by enemy planes, the Sigli had struggled south in a desperate attempt to escape. Rupert Blair''s family had been among the passengers on that fateful journey in which the ship and all aboard had disappeared. Twenty years later, he still hasn''t forgotten-has never abandoned his obsession to discover exactly what happened. Now Rupert Blair embarks upon a journey of his own-one that will take him to a primitive, savage island in search of the truth. This is a thrilling tale of naval warfare from Douglas Reeman, the all-time best-selling master of naval fiction, who served with the Royal Navy on convoy duty in the Atlantic, the Arctic, and the North Sea.
It ha been two years since Thomas Kydd was spirited away in the night to serve his country aboard the old line-of-battle ship Duke William. Now, he and the other members of the ill-fated Artemis are shipwrecked sailors, back in London waiting to be summoned as court-martial witnesses. Then, in a political act to shield an officer's reputation, they are shipped out in haste to the Caribbean-where sugar is king and yellow jack a fearsome peril.
The Allies are poised for the invasion of Italy. Yet the Germans hold a vital card: a floating dock, the only one in the Adriatic large enough to take a major warship. Moored at a small port near Rimini, it is exposed, vulnerable. It must be destroyed before the Germans can tow it to a safer harbour. Air, surface, and conventional submarine attacks are out of the question. Only one team can do the job and still stand a chance of surviving-the crew of His Majesty's midget submarine XE.51.
On a deep reconnaissance mission amidst a rising French revolution, Thomas Kydd is tasked with finding Napoleon Bonaparte's fleet in the Mediterranean Sea resulting in new responsibilities and challenges that could lead to dire consequences.
