Books with author Marian S Taylor

This book is wonderful for the child who is learning how to read. There are 30 animal words and 30 photos. The book starts out with the word cat in a large font. The next page is a photo of a cat. Other animals are introduced the same way including dog, horse etc. The animals words get progressively harder. Children love the photos of animals and the way this book enables them to read by themselves.

Do you ever spend time looking up at the sky, observing the flowing nature of shapes and pictures formed by the clouds? Some call this a bit of heaven's sweet essence. This idea of pictures in the clouds may be new to you. Not everyone will see a picture and not everyone sees the same form. Marian has been photographing clouds for many years. The shapes and natural forms have brought her increased insight and spiritual comfort. The intent of this book is to introduce the concept and widen the reader's perspective as to the possibility of shapes in the clouds and their relative or implied meaning. This brings to light the interconnectedness of all things and evidence of Spirit in our natural world. This book is written in a poetry format as a piece of children's literature. It is the author's desire to share this perspective and to inspire young people of all ages to look at the world differently--to see the interconnectedness of all things and to feel the joy of Spirit in all of life.

It is her goal to have young people of all ages look at trees differentlyto see them as living and sensitive to their environment and to our interconnectedness and the interconnectedness of all things as a part of our spiritual journey. This book is written in a poetry format as a piece of childrens literature. It is the authors desire to share this perspective and to inspire the reader to look at the world differentlyto see the interconnectedness of all things and to feel the joy of Spirit in all of life.

This book is a celebration of the wildlife and landscapes of Britain's most vital wildlife habitats – those that make up our coastline. Sheer limestone crags resound with the voices of thousands of bickering seabirds; endless acres of estuarine mud are packed with squirming invertebrates that sustain thousands of wading birds. In between are the dazzling chalk outcrops of the south coast with glorious floral communities on the clifftop meadows, shingle beaches where terns and plovers hide their eggs among the stones, and dune systems bound together with marram grass and supporting a unique and fragile ecosystem. Rocky shores harbour microcosms of marine life when the retreating tide leaves rockpools exposed for our exploration, and even the rowdiest seaside towns have their own special wildlife alongside the wild nightlife. Grand-scale colour photos bring the wild coast and its inhabitants to life, while the text tells you what you'll see and where, from Land's End to John O'Groats via the scenic route. Beautifully illustrated with colour photographs and authoritative text, this book is a celebration of the wilder aspects of the UK's coasts.
