The islands of Haida Gwaii contain some of the last remaining tracts of intact coastal temperate rainforest in the world. Aggressive logging over the past century, however, has threatened not only the unique biodiversity and habitat values, but also the cultural values of the Haida people who have relied on these forests for millennia. Islands’ Spirit Rising examines the long-term conflict over the islands’ ancient forests and recent events that unfolded in the context of collaborative land-use planning. In response to threats posed by a century of logging, a local indigenous-environmental-community movement built enough momentum to challenge the multinational forest industry and the political structures enabling it. This book traces the evolution of this dynamic force, from the early days of Haida resistance to the modern context of alliances, legal battles, and evolving forms of governance.
God gave unto mankind sanctuaries - holy, sacred, and undefiled places; consecrated and set apart for the purpose of respectful and reverential spiritual union and worship. It makes no difference whether they be out of doors under the open sky - or man-made edifices constructed exclusively for this purpose. It is a sad state of affairs when a society becomes so warped, deranged, and unbalanced - that hardened criminals, blatant lawbreakers, illegal aliens, war-faring insurgents, corrupt political malefactors, radical reprobates, traitors, demon worshipers, and all other conspirators against God and humanity are welcomed - unchecked and unrestrained - into their midst. We invite you to follow the impact such circumstances made in the lives of the PATRIOT CHILDREN - leaving the homestead, farm, and estate which, from the time of the 1849 California gold rush, had been handed down through many generations - in the quest of pursuing a sounder, safer future in rural America's mid-south.

The LifedanceAs human beings we are both unique individuals and social creatures who need others for both our physical and emotional well being. Our life is thus characterized by two conflicting urges-to satisfy our own needs or to defer to the needs of others. How to keep a satisfactory balance between these opposing pulls is the subject of The Lifedance. The attitudes and skills enabling us to perform this back and forth "dance" between autonomy and mutuality are clearly described. Interesting vignettes of people caught in the typical dilemmas of the Lifedance are provided.
