Part thrilling sci-fi adventure, part historical fiction, Earth’s Harmony is an endlessly imaginative tale from the creative mind of debut author Geoffrey Currens. In the near future, perhaps tomorrow, humanity receives a message from deep space in an alien language—a distress call, along with a set of blueprints. Two generations later, Earth is growing increasingly barren; animals are becoming scarce, and lakes are drying up. Nonetheless, as the distress called warned, alien attackers arrive at Earth seeking the one resource remaining worth harvesting: human slaves. Due in no small part to the efforts of pilot Byron “Cowboy” Carruthers and his ace gunner, Jim, the alien attack is fought off, but one ship manages to escape through a vortex into the past, where the alien could potentially take over the Earth and bring about a horrific future. Cowboy and Jim must pursue the alien through the vortex aboard the result of the blueprints received in the distress call so long ago—a telepathic ship they name “Mother.” Cowboy and Jim thus end up in the Devil’s Lake area of North Dakota in 1889, where awaiting them is the harsh prairie winter, an Indigenous man named Dreamwalker whose knowledge and collection of animals may prove pivotal to their mission, and a romance that will test Cowboy’s resolve to not make any ripples in time. Can they stop the alien—and their own actions—from destroying Earth’s chance at a future?

THIS BOOK OF EARTHS began years ago, as a collection--maps of the Earth, the Moon, the heavens. For it occurred to me, not long ago, that it would be "fun" to put them all together, and many others with them, chosen to fill in the gaps of the original group. Luckily for the fun of it, the search about to begin would not be limited to what we know about the Earth, else it would have ended before it began; for we live in a universe of which we know little, and on a planet of which we know perhaps less. It would include not only what we know, or think to-day we know, but also anything that has been believed or felt or no more than "guessed" to be the picture of the Earth and its place in the universe.

The Five Elements brings the wisdom of an ancient healing system to modern readers, helping them understand themselves--why they do what they do--better. Dondi Dahlin shows us that we are all born with individual rhythms that go beyond the influence of our genes and upbringing. The five elements originated in ancient Chinese medicine over 2,000 years ago--when scholars theorized that the universe is composed of five forces: water, wood, fire, earth, and metal. Understanding these elements helps us stay in balance physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. By explaining the efficacy of wood, the depth of water, the joy of fire, the compassion of earth, and the wisdom of metal, this book helps people understand themselves and form lasting connections to others, answering the age-old question of why we do what we do.
