REVIEWS "Overall, this is a heart-warming book where I learnt a good deal about Earth-based spirituality through the lens of different traditions. I felt that my spirituality is not some made-up modern quirk but something that is deeply rooted in, and belongs to, the ongoing spiritual evolution of our collective human journey." - Ian Mowll, Interfaith Foundation Minister and the coordinator of GreenSpirit. "From his many years of deep immersion in the Yogic, Christian and Earth-based traditions, Santoshan skilfully expresses in this book, the feeling tone of each of these three spiritual movements. He explains how they blend, how they relate to each other and how they share a common thread of love and the sanctity of all life. Seldom do you find such practised clarity in revealing the wisdom of Spirit." - Sky McCain, Vedantist and author of 'Planet as Self: An Earthen Spirituality.' ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Santoshan (Stephen Wollaston) studied world religions at King's College London, is a Psychosynthesis counsellor, a OneSpirit Interfaith minister, a member of GreenSpirit's publications team, and an author, coauthor and editor of over a dozen books, including 'Spirituality Unveiled: Awakening to Creative Life'.

Demonstrating the diversity of deindustrial science fiction, this issue brings stories told from both the human and non-human perspective. And between Alistair Herbert's succinct portrait of a future hunter and part one of Violet Bertelsen's sprawling novella detailing the lives found within the future village of La Vezita, this issue contains both the longest and shortest stories yet published in Into the Ruins. Two horror-tinged offerings from Daniel Stride and Daniel Soule-the former with a story of a forest with a thirst for human blood and the latter with one of rationalism run amok-and an adventurous tale of a special kind of magic from Clint Spivey help round out this issue. Those five tales coupled with an excellent and eclectic letters section closes out the third year of Into the Ruins on a high note.

How could a simple man like him compete with Trent's life of wealth and privilege? Knowing you shouldn't want something doesn't make it go away, and Tucker's desire for Trent continues to smolder.Unwilling to accept their relationship is dead on arrival, Trent puts his resuscitation skills to good use. All he wants is a chance to prove he values Tucker's wealth of character over meaningless material things. What do you get when you mix fire and oxygen: a five-alarm fire or a prescription for love?Trent's commitment to freeing himself from poisonous ties kindles a chain of events that have devastating consequences for both men.

This comprehensive examination is particularly valuable for educators, students, and school administrators. It offers them a clearer understanding of the landscape of adult education and the hurdles that adult learners face. "Adult Education in America" serves as a call to action, urging educational stakeholders to recognize these issues and work towards tangible solutions.

Despite her immediate clash with his father, she agrees to accompany him and his two children to the central American country. Rich Texas rancher, originally from Costa Rica, Antonio "Tony" Delossantos, knows money can't buy everything. He lost his wife to violence and he's determined to save his children from a similar fate. He learns his son's school teacher is skilled in Krav Maga military-style self-defense and available for the summer. Tony hires her to accompany the family to Costa Rica. When the drug lord Tony helped send to prison escapes, what started as a summer vacation in a tropical paradise soon becomes a race to survive in the jungles of Costa Rica.
Sometimes all you need is a shove in the right direction . . . To say that fifteen-year-old Cooper isn't thrilled about the idea of spending his entire summer with his grandfather at The Last Stop retirement home is the understatement of the century. The fact that he has to work there for the privilege of sleeping on his grandfather's couch only adds insult to injury. The folks at the retirement home aren't too sure about him, either. His hair is forever hanging in his eyes, for one, and he seems determined to go the entire summer without uttering a single word. While they are trying to keep an open mind, Cooper is doing nothing to change their opinion that youth is just an unfortunate stage to becoming an old person. But something surprising happens over the course of the summer, forcing everyone involved to reevaluate their opinion of the opposing generation. In this, the third installment of The Last Stop series, the whole gang is here: Amato, the boisterous chef who Cooper has the displeasure of working for; Byron, the hyper-competitive former Olympian, who gives Cooper pointers on his less than impressive physique; Kelly, the much feared fitness instructor, who teaches him to take pride in even the most mundane tasks; Harry, the maintenance man, who teaches him the value of hard work; And, of course, Holy Moses, who's respect Cooper must earn. There's a new resident, too, making his first appearance: Ain't He Something, a retired racehorse who provides his own very entertaining life lessons . . .
Private eye Rico Morgan is hired to find out why pregnant women crossing from old Mexico into New Mexico are being killed, and why their babies are missing. Is it drug related? No sooner do Rico and his buddy Mole begin the investigation than they're attacked. The bullets keep on coming, but Rico's in the dark about why. What does he know that puts him, his friend Mole, and his violinist girlfriend Sally in mortal danger? Then the sexy CIA girl Roxy shows up, and things get tangled. They go to Mexico to set up a sting, but in the dark night in the desert things go horribly wrong. When Rico goes to England to rescue his kidnapped girlfriend the whole truth behind the Border Caper comes out.An Interview with Ray Ordorica: How long did it take you to write this?It took several years of on-and-off work. I began the book some time ago, but because of my work as a professional editor I could not find time to complete it. When The Alaskan Retreater's Notebook came out the publisher expressed a strong interest in Border Caper, so I got it done. Then I found out about self-publishing on Amazon, looked into it and liked it. Print-on-demand makes more sense than old-fashioned publishing, where you print a bunch of books, hope they sell, and the writer gets zip until they do. Amazon offers more benefits and more control than conventional publishing, so here it is. The second book in the Rico Morgan series was completed within four months, but the third book was delayed because of personal projects that kept me from writing.Er...the names! Where'd you get the idea for those odd names?Chester Gould, creator of Dick Tracy, used many odd names over the years: Rhodent, B.O. Plenty, Sam Catchem, E. Kent Hardly, and others. Even though Dick Tracy was a comic strip the action was sometimes deadly, bullets flyin'. By copying Gould's idea I could be fairly sure I wasn't using anyone's real name. Don't forget Pussy Galore, Holly Goodhead, Plenty O'Toole, Yurasis Dragon, and many others. Hence my extra disclaimer at the front of the book.What about Mexicans walking into the U.S. across the border in New Mexico?Back a few years ago my friends and I used to hunt birds in the desert outside of Las Cruces near the border. It was common for us to offer water to the great many Mexicans who simply walked in across the desert. I'm sure that has not stopped.You don't spend a lot of pages on descriptions of clothes, food and the like.Some notable authors fill their books with page after page of what the scenes looked like, types of clothing, colors, stripes, styles; types of haircut, shoes, even the shoes' decorations. They describe what they had for dinner and how they cooked it. I don't think my readers care a whole lot about what the people wore or what they ate, much less how they cooked it. That's nothing but filler. By way of a good example the Harry Potter books are entirely without filler and dead pages. J.K. Rowling knows her stuff. Like her, I prefer to stick to telling the story and keep the action content up.Without giving away any secrets, what about the advanced research discussed?The U.S., Russia, China, and I'm sure other nations are digging deep into the kinds of research mentioned in the book. Someday it'll help us all. Also, a new design of Mexican portable toilets is indeed in the news. Scary, eh?How'd you come up with the name Rico Morgan?As a kid I read many stories about pirate Henry Morgan. The name stuck with me, so that's where Rico's name comes from. 'Ricardo' makes him somewhat more cosmopolitan.What's next?Rico's going to San Francisco.
On a hike along the shores of Lake Superior, thirteen-year-old Anna Hendrix sees a huge creature rise from the waters and-to her horror-sink a tour boat. Soon afterward, Jeff Griggs, also thirteen, encounters a similar but smaller creature in the woods around his parents' vacation house. Unable to resist investigating, both Anna and Jeff venture into the nearby forests. They meet each other at a huge waterfall, where they discover a partially hidden cave. Inside it, to their surprise, they find a cave painting of a creature that resembles the ones they have seen. Suddenly, in a bizarre twist of time and space, the youngsters are transported to strange, unknown land, vastly different from the Michigan they know. Here, they meet a strange but friendly young man who calls himself Skyhawk. He claims to be a member of a civilization that can only be reached by way of the cave. In this strange land, huge monsters roam freely. Skyhawk and his people worship the beasts as gods. But while the people of this land appear friendly, Anna and Jeff discover they hide a deadly secret. And the two youngsters must somehow find their way back home before the passage between the two worlds closes forever.
