The hippo, she lay half asleep on her back. She awoke in a fright as a twig gave a crack.Then out stepped a lion hungry for meat. He roared with excitement, “I’ll start with your feet!”“For years,” said the lion, “I've watched from the woods, Unable to catch you and feast on your goods.”He pounced—and looked even more fierce than before. She looked like a whale that had washed up on shore.From the author of Mother and the Mice comes a hilarious new tale about humility and the power of change.

Do you really want to launch out into the deep for the love of God? Are you ready to risk and adventure, to extend your life and put your faith in God? ... Have you heard the voice that asks you to seek a desert in the ocean? There is no doubt that God is calling you, writes David Adam in his thoughtful new work of spirituality. Some of the questions, he continues, can be found in a Celtic poem often credited to St. Brendan the Navigator.Using the poem as a guide to our own call and adventure, Adam invites readers along on the voyage of Brendan. He comments on extracts from the poem, and at the end of each chapter offers a series of exercises and actions we can take to discover our own desert in the ocean, and the promised land that is there for those willing to venture.Lovers of Celtic spirituality, and those who are new to it, will be intrigued and edified by this fascinating application of a saint's life to spiritual growth.

Geometric nets provide many hours of fascinating fun! Each net represents the surface of a unique geometric shape. Some of the shapes were described as much as 2500 years ago.A geometric net is a flat drawing that can be cut and folded into a three dimensional figure. For example, six identical squares can be made into a cube. This is because a cube has six sides, all of which are identical squares. Each of the drawings in this book can be cut and folded into a three dimensional geometric object.This book contains 253 geometric nets, a few of which are:Bielongated Triangular AntiprismConeCubeCuboctahedronCylinderDecagonal AntiprismDecagonal PrismDeltoidal IcositetrahedronDieDisdyakis DodecahedronDodecahedron, RegularElongated Pentagonal BipyramidElongated Pentagonal CupolaElongated Pentagonal PyramidElongated Square BipyramidElongated Square PyramidElongated Triangular AntiprismElongated Triangular BipyramidElongated Triangular CupolaElongated Triangular PyramidFrustum of a Decagon PyramidFrustum of a Quadrilateral PyramidFrustum of a Triangular PyramidGreat DodecahedronGreat Stellated DodecahedronGyroelongated Pentagonal PyramidGyroelongated Square BipyramidGyroelongated Square PrismGyroelongated Square PyramidHeptagonal PyramidHeptahedron 4,4,4,3,3,3,3Heptahedron 5,5,5,4,4,4,3Heptahedron 6,6,4,4,4,3,3Hexagonal PrismHexagonal PyramidHexahedron 4,4,4,4,3,3Hexahedron 5,4,4,3,3,3Hexahedron 5,5,4,4,3,3Icosahedron, RegularIcosidodecahedronOblique Square PyramidOctagonal AntiprismOctahedron, RegularPentagonal AntiprismPentagonal BipyramidPentagonal CupolaPentagonal PrismPentagonal PyramidPentagonal RotundaPentagrammic PrismRectangular PyramidRhombic PrismRhombicuboctahedronRight Pentagonal Star PyramidSmall RhombidodecahedronSmall Stellated DodecahedronSnub CubeSnub DodecahedronSquare AntiprismSquare CupolaSquare PyramidSquare TrapezohedronStellated OctahedronTetrahedron - RegularTetrakis HexahedronTriakis OctahedronTriakis TetrahedronTriangular BipyramidTriangular CupolaTriangular PentahedronTriangular PrismTriangular Pyramid, ObliqueTruncated CubeTruncated CuboctahedronTruncated DodecahedronTruncated IcosahedronTruncated IcosidodecahedronTruncated OctahedronTruncated Square TrapezohedronTruncated Tetrahedron

This book, a utopian novella set in the year 2026, is part of a trilogy along with The History of the Culture of War and World Peace through the Town Hall: A Strategy for the Global Movement for a Culture of Peace. Together they put forward a comprehensive and feasible plan to achieve world peace. They are based on the author's responsibility for the United Nations International Year for the Culture of Peace (2000), the Manifesto 2000 signed by 75 million people, and the United Nations Declaration and Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace. This novella foresees the coming collapse of the global economy and nation states as an opportunity to refound the United Nations on the basis of those who understand the need for a culture of peace: individuals, civil society organizations and local governments. It provides an imaginative and personalized account of how the world has come to a culture of peace and explores the various contradictions involved.

Pi, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, has been know to exist for thousands of years. Even before the common era, ancient mathematicians had found approximations for pi that were accurate to two digits (3.1). The Babylonians used 25/8 as an approximation of pi. The ancient Egyptians used 16/9 squared for pi. The next to improve the approximations for pi were Chinese mathematicians. The Chinese approximation was correct to seven digits (3.141592). In Greece, Archimedes used a polygon drawn outside a circle, and a polygon drawn inside a circle, and extended pi to three digits (3.14). Finally, when infinite series were developed, one could calculate pi with pen and paper to as many digits as one had time for. It was not until computers came along that it was practical to calculate pi to a million digits. Here, in this book, are the results.
