MANTIS: No one ever believed that the mantises spoke to little Sophia Miller--but they did, ever since she could remember, whispering messages and eerie warnings about the future of planet Earth. Things didn't start to get really weird until she turned 14 and moved into a new house, with a strange but charismatic new neighbor, Lady Tazmin. With the help of her brother Josh, her best friend Alex, and her mysterious stepmom Gina, Sophia will uncover a sinister plot of missing scientists, morphing mantises, and an alien world whose fate is tied directly to Earth's. "Planet Earth is our host, we owe her respect." Laura Lance.

I would like to dedicate this book to the hearing-impaired children of the world, but particularly to those children I have had the pleasure of working with in Canada, Vietnam, Kuwait, England and most recently Saudi Arabia. I have had an extremely rewarding career as an audiologist and it has been both challenging and fulfilling to work with these children and their families as they discover sound and learn to communicate with their residual hearing. I would like to acknowledge a very special little girl, Divya, who was just three years old when I taught sign language to her and her mother in Kuwait. She has touched my heart and I will never forget her determination to learn. The sounds of life are truly a blessing that all should be able to enjoy.

This action-packed true story details the adventures of six teenage boys who, for 16 days and nights in the summer of 1957, drifted 385 miles down the Alabama River from Montgomery to Mobile on a 10 x 12 foot raft they built from scrap lumber and discarded oil drums. Using little more than push poles and crude rudder, the teenagers found themselves at the mercy of the sometimes treacherous, sometimes gentle river. Buddy Estes, the author, was one of those teenagers.

A first of its kind photo history book on all of U.S. Navy SEALs / Naval Special Warfare. From the CIA forefathers, the OSS Maritime Units, through to the Raiders and Underwater Demolition Units and into the development and birth of the SEALs to the present day SWCC units and more. With an opening tribute by U.S. President George W. Bush, who utilized their skills to track down terrorists after the attack on 9-11. No publication has ever before has gone inside to show the men and women that support the US Navy SEALs and the SEALs themselves in all aspects of their work, training, missions and sacrifices to our country as they go about it quietly, secretly each and every day around the world. This is not another book on BUDS (Basic Underwater Demolition / SEAL), but like nothing ever done in history and likely to never be repeated. Because of unparalleled access given the authors and photographers, this book has insights behind the scenes of the support personnel, unique training, underwater vehicles, operations in Iraq /Afghanistan, unique weapons developed just for the SEALs as well as into the future of NSW. So total and complete was the access, the book reveals for the first time the now declassified SECRET documents of the establishment of the SEALs but rest assured this book was screened for security by the US Navy and others. It depicts everything from early powered canoes to hydrofoils to the first mini subs as well as the specialized weapons from underwater guns to underwater atomic bombs and much more. Some 931 unique, and many exclusive photographs taken around the world by photographers Greg Mathieson, Sr. and Dave Gatley. From the morning attack on the Pentagon on 9-11, to freezing mountain training in Alaska, to the basement White House Situation Room, to the ocean deaths, these two photographers were given unprecedented access for over 5 full and exciting years to go past the restricted, no camera signs, to go deep into war zones to see it all.

When it comes to raising livestock, pigs are another animal worth considering. Pigs will reduce the amount of waste around the homestead by consuming as much of it as possible; from table scraps to lawn clippings, and everything in between, pigs are voracious eaters. They get their size from having an enormous appetite and a less than stellar metabolism.Pigs come in a wide variety of sizes, from the small, little cute pygmy versions that some people keep as pets, to the big, round pork belly swine from which bacon is carved. All species of pig have similar characteristics, so if you’re just getting started with livestock, you might want to try your hand at raising a small pet pygmy first. This will give you some insight on what to expect, on a much larger scale, when you pick up a big pig species to raise for food.Pork meat is considered a healthy source of protein and nourishment, which may be a concern for some preppers, survivalists, and homesteaders. Raising pigs is a little different than raising cattle, or goats, and this book walks you through what to expect from your swine from start to finish.
