Moon Cycles explores the deep connection between lunar phases and religious observances across diverse faiths, blending Earth Sciences, Geography, and Religion. It reveals how lunar calendars historically shape religious holidays, fasting periods, and daily prayers.

The book uniquely combines scientific analysis of lunar movements with ethnographic studies of religious practices, maintaining a balanced perspective while offering a rigorous commitment to factual accuracy.

 
Structured to first introduce lunar astronomy and calendar development, Moon Cycles then explores lunar influences in Abrahamic, Eastern, and indigenous religions, culminating in a discussion of lunar-based traditions in today's globalized world.

Homewaters - A Human and Natural...

David B. Williams

Not far from Seattle skyscrapers live 150-year-old clams, more than 250 species of fish, and underwater kelp forests as complex as any terrestrial ecosystem. For millennia, vibrant Coast Salish communities have lived beside these waters dense with nutrient-rich foods, with cultures intertwined through exchanges across the waterways. Transformed by settlement and resource extraction, Puget Sound and its future health now depend on a better understanding of the region's ecological complexities. 
 
 
 
Focusing on the area south of Port Townsend and between the Cascade and Olympic mountains, Williams uncovers human and natural histories in, on, and around the Sound. In conversations with archaeologists, biologists, and tribal authorities, Williams traces how generations of humans have interacted with such species as geoducks, salmon, orcas, rockfish, and herring. He sheds light on how warfare shaped development and how people have moved across this maritime highway, in canoes, the mosquito fleet, and today's ferry system. The book also takes an unflinching look at how the Sound's ecosystems have suffered from human behavior, including pollution, habitat destruction, and the effects of climate change.

Progress - Is a Precious Stone

Mike Blake

Progress : Is a Precious Stone. 
Something the world seeks, just as much as Gold, or precious gems. 
With progress, there's no going backwards only forwards, but you can look back at the progress you've made. 
This is a short, no nonsense poem that gets to the heart of what it wants to say, and points the way :)  
It leads to the future, from the depths of the past.
