Death and Afterwards - Enriched edition

Edwin Arnold

Sinopsis

Edwin Arnold's 'Death, and Afterwards' is a profound exploration of the concept of death and the possibilities that lie beyond it. Written in a poetic and lyrical style, the book delves into various spiritual traditions and philosophies from around the world, offering a moving and thought-provoking perspective on the afterlife. Drawing on literary influences such as William Wordsworth and John Keats, Arnold's work is a beautiful and poignant meditation on the mysteries of life and death. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in existential questions and the nature of human existence. Edwin Arnold, a Victorian poet and journalist, was deeply interested in Eastern spirituality and philosophy. His experiences traveling in Asia and studying different cultural and religious traditions provided him with the inspiration to write 'Death, and Afterwards'. Arnold's background in journalism also lends a sense of intellectual rigor and depth to his exploration of the afterlife. I highly recommend 'Death, and Afterwards' to readers who are drawn to profound and philosophical reflections on the nature of existence. Arnold's lyrical prose and insightful observations make this book a captivating and enlightening read.

3 - It’s a hard name to pronounce, but hey, it’s been the legend of Native American peoples for centuries. Was it a man? Was it a god? Was it a white person? Or was it some animal or strange thing? Quetzalcoatl is an Aztec divine being whose name originates from the Nahuatl language and meaning "valuable snake" or "Quetzal-feathered Snake."

The Poacher's Nightmare -...

Kennie Prince, Alfred Nichols

Racoons are not the only bandits wearing masks in the wilderness. Growing up, author Kennie Prince spent most of his time in the woods and creeks near his home in Rankin County, Mississippi. A highly skilled outdoorsman, Prince began his career with the Mississippi Department of Wildlife Conservation in 1983 and dedicated his life to protecting Mississippi's fish and wildlife resources in dangerous undercover work. The Poacher's Nightmare: Stories of an Undercover Game Warden contains dozens of hair-raising accounts of covert wildlife operations, often spanning years, requiring ingenious planning, complicated secrecy, and deft coordination. 
 
 
 
Prince infiltrated bloody-minded, wary criminal groups, winning their trust. When his traps were fully set, he involved other state and federal law enforcement officials to bring an abrupt halt to abominable thefts of vast fish and wildlife resources from the public trust. Smart, creative, knowledgeable, tenacious, disciplined, passionate, and a natural-born actor, Prince bore a unique skill set that made him an ideal fit for this perilous undertaking. This memoir details how Prince gained the confidence of tightly knit circles of loyal, leery poachers and put an end to their destructive evil.
