Books with title A Journey Through Time

In this coming of age novel, the author depicts the inner desires and conflicts that many girls experience as they transition into the adolescent world. Audrey lives through these depictions--becoming aware of herself-- through mental and out of body reflections as she interacts with a world that may or may not be real. During this time, she explores the roles of women, seeking to be true to herself, and not to the confines society has placed around her worldview. In turn, she realizes that she wants everything out of life--knowledge, a career, friends and family, and, of course, love. But will she be able to have it all?

Planet earth, home sweet home In the year 2000, world-renowned wildlife photographer Frans Lanting set out on a personal journey to photograph the evolution of life on earth. He made pilgrimages to true time capsules like a remote lagoon in Western Australia, spent time in research collections photographing forms of microscopic life, and even found ways to create visual parallels between the growth of organs in the human body and the patterns seen on the surface of the earth. The resulting volume is a glorious picture book of planet earth depicting the amazing biodiversity that surrounds us all. Lanting’s true gift lies beyond his technical mastery: it is his eye for geometry in the beautiful chaos of nature that allows him to show us the world as it has never been seen before. From crabs to jellyfish, diatoms to vast geological formations, jungles to flowers, monkeys to human embryos, LIFE is a testament to the magical beauty of life in all its forms and is Lanting’s most remarkable achievement to date.
