Synopsis

"Forces of Nature" unveils the Earth's powerful systems, exploring how plate tectonics, weather patterns, and ocean currents shape our planet and influence life. The book highlights the interconnectedness of these forces, revealing how they generate both dramatic natural disasters and subtle environmental changes. For example, the movement of tectonic plates not only creates mountains and volcanoes but also triggers devastating earthquakes. Understanding these dynamic systems is crucial for predicting future environmental shifts, mitigating natural hazards, and promoting sustainable living. 

 
The book progresses logically, starting with Earth's structure and moving through plate tectonics, weather patterns, and ocean currents. It draws on geological surveys, meteorological data, and oceanographic studies to support its arguments. Real-world case studies, such as the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, illustrate the impact of these forces on human populations. "Forces of Nature" integrates earth science with biology, geography, and environmental science, offering a comprehensive and accessible understanding of our planet.

    Dog behavior and dog obedience are two vastly different aspects of a dog. This is not another dog book on how to get your dog to sit with a treat. Everything about dog behavior and training takes time. A well-mannered and obedient dog requires owners to put in the consistent repetition of practicing clear structured communication and actively engaging with their dogs daily. As a dog owner it is your responsibility to also become your dogs full-time trainer because training never stops; it is an all-day, everyday, all situations, on-going kind of concept. In short, it is a lifestyle. From a new puppy, adopted rescue, or old timer learning new manners, Shoni guides readers through the trivial but monumental Top 11 Insights to The Best Human and Dog Relationship. Includes easy to understand step-by-step daily practices that top dog handlers and trainers around the world implement daily. Over the years Shoni has given her clients the knowledge of these Top 11 Insights during consultations, and so long as her clients put in the work, followed through, and practiced daily they saw immediate results in their dogs behaviors BEFORE even starting their first training session. This is NOT at all a fix-all book of insights to magically cure your dogs unwanted behaviors. These are proven daily practices of fundamental communication basics for balanced, well-mannered, and obedient dog. Behaviors such as leash reactivity, jumping, nipping, destroying the home, and even resource guarding diminished significantly and in some cases eliminated by changing daily communication within the home through these Top 11 Insights. Shoni equips her readers with the knowledge and communication techniques they need to become their dogs' greatest joy. Also building confidence in dog owners as they learn to train effectively with their dogs while instilling trust and respect on both sides of the relationship. It all starts here with the basics. Let's go!

    A wonderful and whimsical collection of short essays on everything from sketching on brown paper and building toy theatres to the nature of Englishness and faith."Tremendous Trifles contains simply some of the best essays Chesterton ever wrote. They originally appeared in the Daily News, which Chesterton contributed to from 1901 to 1913, and which explains why people bought that paper. Which is an idea so large it spills over into another essay, “A Piece of Chalk.” Here Chesterton describes how he has set out to do some drawing with his chalks, but is distressed to find that he has forgotten his white chalk. White is essential. White is a color. It is not merely the absence of color. It is “a shining and affirmative thing…it draws stars.” As white is to art, so is virtue to religion. Virtue is a positive thing; not merely “the absence of dangers or the avoidance of moral dangers…Chastity does not mean abstention from sexual wrong; it means something flaming, like Joan of Arc.”In this book, Chesterton looks at the ordinary, common things and asks us to see how extraordinary and uncommon they are. The things in his pockets, the objects in a railway station, the people in the street. With these simple, random things he can defend Christianity, Western Civilization and Democracy. “Whatever is it that we are all looking for?” he asks at the beginning of an essay entitled “A Glimpse of My Country.” He suggests that what we are looking for lies very close; we just don’t manage to see it. It is a theme throughout the book, and throughout Chesterton’s writings that what appears to be a trifle is actually tremendous. In the title essay Chesterton crystallizes this truth in a perfect sentence that would go on to be inscribed on buildings and quoted by popes: “The world will never starve for want of wonders; but only for want of wonder.”-- Dale Ahlquist, lecture for Chesterton University
