Books with title The Journey Through Time

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.

Mary and Joseph, two 16-year-old Christians, freshly graduated from high school, are traveling east on an internal combustion vehicle on a summer day in 2324 AD, 1755 AH. Everyone knows what this is about. Over a week or so, they will drive out of Inner Oregon Autonomous Region, across the Islamic States of America, and arrive at the Federal Republic of New England, New York, New Jersey, and Northeastern Pennsylvania, derogatorily and affectionately referred to as Newland. There, the plan goes, they will attend a four-week-long religious camp, and then, as far as anyone will know, die. To be precise, they will fake their death and find their way to Outer Oregon, a protectorate of California Republic, to live happily ever after, in the land of promise, the land of progress, the land of tolerance.Or, will they?Follow the two travelers as they encounter sublime and ridiculous citizens of the Islamic States, a place where modern technology is deemed contrary to Holy Scriptures, where people are friendly but deeply incompetent, and where very few people practice what they are preached. Some will help them in their journey. Some will complicate things. A lot.Some will tell them unbelievable stories from their past.Which may very well be the best part of this trip.

In 1958, the Government of Canada, with joint co-operation with the United States government, flooded over a 30 mile stretch of land in Eastern Ontario along the St Lawrence River in order to create a newly formed body of water, Lake St. Lawrence. The flooding was necessary in order to allow large ocean going vessels access through the previously difficult to navigate waters from Cornwall to Morrisburg along the St. Lawrence River in through to inland cities such as Toronto, Detroit and Chicago. The massive project involved the displacement of over 6500+ people including 7 villages, 3 hamlets and numerous farms in a stretch of communities that had been established in the early development of Ontario's history.While swimming in the Lake St. Lawrence in in the present day, a precocious 10 year old boy named Art discovers the foundation of an old home on the bottom of the lake. He notices a trap door set into the top of the foundation and forces it open. Strangely, he is able to see through the trap door into a well lit, dry room below. As he tries to get a better view down through the trap door, he loses his grip and falls to the floor in the basement. He has landed through a temporal doorway into 1958 though that is only revealed to him as the adventure develops. The discovery of the doorway leads Art to a journey through time as he meets the inventor of the doorway, a physicist named Roger Haines, and a couple of other children that he befriends in 1958 and shares a magical three days with. The story then takes us back to 1935 and the life of Roger Haines and a detailed history of Roger's experiences as he attends Princeton University and meets with many storied individuals including Albert Einstein, Nikola Tesla and many more prominent scientist including several that go on to win Nobel Prizes and help form the nucleus of the Manhattan Project, the US government's atomic weapons project created in the 1940's. Roger Haines ultimately creates the temporal doorway that he builds into the foundation of his house to be discovered sometime in the future which it is by Art, 60 years after it is builtThe story goes back to the present day, now altered by changing conditions set into motion by Art's trip to the past and ultimately culminates with the resolution of the story in the in a stunning turnabout that propels the story forward into the future.
