But it's full of bright ideas for how to transmute both fear and difficulty into kind and wise ways of living and working. "The authors of this book have courage to recognise the reality of our time and face the uncomfortable facts of climate calamity. Publisher: John Wiley and Sons Ltd ISBN: 9781509546848 Number of pages: 224 Weight: 386 g Dimensions: 208 x 140 x 20 mm MEDIA REVIEWS Edited by the originator of the concept of deep adaptation, Jem Bendell, and a leading climate activist and strategist, Rupert Read, this book is the essential introduction to the concept, practice and emerging global movement of Deep Adaptation to climate chaos. They do not assume that our current economic, social and political systems can be made resilient in the face of climate change but, instead, they demonstrate the caring and creative ways that people are responding to the most difficult realization with which humanity may ever have to come to terms. This is the first book to show how professionals across different sectors are beginning to incorporate the acceptance of likely or unfolding societal breakdown into their work and lives. It is a framework for responding to the terrifying realization of increasing disruption by committing ourselves to reducing suffering while saving more of society and the natural world. 'Deep adaptation' refers to the personal and collective changes that might help us to prepare for - and live with - a climate-influenced breakdown or collapse of our societies. But when everyone Esther knows believes that Jack Frost is responsible for ice and that moon sneezes cause evaporation, she'll have to learn that sometimes discovery is its own reward. When the local pond disappears, Esther realizes this might be the perfect opportunity for a real experiment! It's up to Esther and her fairymates to ask questions, make hypotheses, do research and show their conclusions - this time, all about the water cycle. This time around, though, she's got her fairy pals Clover and Fig, along with trusty sidekick Albert the bird, to help create a more science-oriented entry for their school's "Magic Fair" - Pixieville's magical answer to a science fair, which has never gone well for Esther before. But fairies are all about magic, despite Esther's best efforts to reveal the science of their world. "Esther the fairy doesn't believe in magic.

One thing that sets this book apart from others in the series is the absence of the general Amish community. Kate talks to Rachael’s parents and her childhood best friend, whose startling story comes out gradually over the course of the book. Kate and her love interest John Tomasetti, with the BCI, interview Rachael’s roommate then he looks into the financial and phone records. Though she co-owned a restaurant, she was spending far more than she made. Rachael had been living in a pricey Cleveland townhouse and driving an expensive car. Kate, who also had been formerly Amish, had been Rachael’s occasional babysitter and remembered her as an unruly girl who made a lot of bad decisions. One thing that’s not in question is her name: Her driver’s license identifies her as Rachael Schwartz, who had left the Amish community as a teenager. A woman has been murdered in a Painter’s Mill motel room, and clues are few. Kate will need the help, because the case is a hellish one. In “Fallen,” the 13th book in the series, Kate doesn’t think twice about enlisting the sheriff’s department and the Ohio State Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
