39 Ways to Save the Planet
We got ourselves into this. Here's how we can get ourselves out. We know the problem: the amount of biodiversity loss, the scale of waste and pollution, the amount of greenhouse gas we pump into the air... it's unsustainable. We have to do something. And we are resourceful, adaptable and smart. We have already devised many ways to reduce climate change - some now proven, others encouraging and craving uptake. Each one is a solution to get behind. In 39 Ways to Save the Planet, Tom Heap reveals some of the real-world solutions to climate change that are happening around the world, right now. From tiny rice seeds and fossil fuel free steel to grazing elk and carbon-capturing seagrass meadows, each chapter reveals the energy and optimism in those tackling the fundamental problem of our age. Accompanying a major BBC Radio 4 series in collaboration with the Royal Geographical Society, 39 Ways to Save the Planet is a fascinating exploration of our attempt to build a better future, one solution at a time. A roadmap to global action on climate change, it will encourage you to add your own solutions to the list.

Prophet
An overly realistic story of the Messiah written by a Marvel fan. In an age full of signs of the end of the world, two Messiahs have appeared. One is Karl, a mysterious man who descended from the skies of Jerusalem. Another is Tom, a newspaper reporter who is extremely direct in his words and actions. Who is the real Messiah and how will he save mankind? Jesus described in the Bible was closer to an omnipotent God than a human being. If Jesus returns, how will he be tested by Christians? Who will the Vatican recognize as the Messiah? The author describes the sufferings and adversities of the Messiah in an age of disbelief in a light and witty style. This satirical novel takes you on a roller coaster ride of unending ups and downs that rivets the readers.
The Day the Lamp Went Off
Tom is an old man who works as a graveyard watcher in a small unknown village in Ireland. He was there for forty years. All this time, he was living in the cemetery, alone with no family; his only human companions were in the people village that he see them often and that was the weak human touch in his life. The strong human touch was with the villages priest, father Mackenzie, who was an old good friend with the graveyard watcher. Village people were calling him Ancient Tom, and he really liked this name very much as well as his very routine life. It looks like his life will go like this forever. Then came a night, a night like no other, when Ancient Tom receives a visit from someone outsi...
Buckskin and Satin
On July 14, 1882, the notorious Texas gunman, John Peters Ringo, was found beneath a blackjack oak tree some distance from Tombstone, Arizona, with a bullet in his head. Colonel Henry Hooker, Billy Breakenridge, Wyatt Earp, and Doc Holliday were all suspected of doing him in, but charges were never brought against anyone. Was this going to be an unsolved mystery? The answer could lie in this blending of fact with fiction woven into the lives of these famous characters of the Old West, and those of the less-well-known Frank Buckskin Leslie, bartender, part-time army scout, and awesome gunfighter; the woman he wanted -- the beautiful and fiercely independent Nell Cashman; and Louis Hancock, a big, black rancher determined to avenge a heinous crime.
The Night Terror

A group of college students decide to go camping together for the first time, but their curiosity propels them into a situation where they find themselves running for their lives. Some travelers stop to relax and have a few drinks but find more than they bargained for. Is the history about Devil’s Canyon Lake true? Is there a ghost haunting the forest? Does a creature ascend from the lake to pull hapless victims into its depths? Lives are held in the balance as something terrorizes those who decide to visit. Will anyone live to tell what happened?
Hits and Misses
These accounts of shooting birds and hunting big game mostly relate the author’s adventures in North America--Canada and The United States. Game species encountered, or hoped to encounter, include mule deer, whitetail deer, blacktail deer, pronghorn antelope, elk, bear, turkey and geese. But by convenience, and necessity because all his hunts don’t fit neatly into the confines of North America, and the author had no other place to tell a couple of unique hunt stories, this volume also includes reports of dove hunting in Honduras and red stag in Spain. Mainly, this collection tells the story of one hunter who just happened to be a writer and whose job sometimes required him to go hunting, making him, if not a PH (professional hunter) then perhaps a PTPH (part-time) or a SPH (semi). Either way, for him it was a dream job.
The Tournament Trilogy
The Tournament Trilogy follows the rise of the Tournament, a secretive, state-sponsored war game...and the stakes couldn't be higher. This collection contains the first three books in the series and is over 1000 pages of conspiracy, warfare, and murder! _____ Blue Fall (Book 1) If you knew about The Tournament, you'd know why they want it kept secret. People don't like to hear that state-sponsored war games are going on under their noses, in their cities, and on their streets. The world isn't ready to know that the most powerful among us can shape the future by wagering on these fights. People wouldn't understand if they learned that teams in The Tournament have the freedom to do almost anyt...
