Accelerated Reader Quiz available: #117017
Eleven-year-old Solomon Freeman and his parents, newly freed slaves, are building a homestead in north Florida's wilderness, living their dream of independence. Their battle to survive is filled with harsh difficulties in this wild and fickle new home, and they all work long, hard days. Solomon's father, Moses, dreams of his only son sharing his love for the land. Lela, his mother, tries to shield Solomon from his father's expectations, for she knows that the boy's heart is not in the fields.
Solomon is a natural woodsman, good at fishing and hunting. Though these skills bring food to their meager table, Moses wants his son to concentrate on farming. Further distancing father and son is the arrival of a refined Virginian brandishing a fifteen-foot whip with deadly precision. Solomon is captivated by the man and the whip while Moses despises the whip and dreads his son's fascination with the newcomer. Lela struggles to make a home, keep peace between her husband and son, and continue Solomon's education as they fight to survive.
When the chance comes to go on a cattle drive, Solomon jumps at it--though his parents are reluctant to let him go. He confronts a new world as he rides a Florida marshtackie horse, wields his whip rounding up a large herd of wild cattle, and brings them to market at the coast--where he sees sights he had never dreamed existed.
Are the Freemans strong enough to build a successful homestead? Will they be welcomed in this hard place where blacks have only been slaves in years past? Will the family seal its bond through shared hardship or splinter irreparably? Does Solomon have the wisdom he needs to face challenges beyond his years and see the family through its perils?

Автор: Benjamin Thomas Solomon Название: Super Physics for Super Technologies: Replacing Bohr, Heisenberg, Schrodinger & Einstein ISBN: 1508948011 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781508948018 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 22930.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Objective: This book, Super Physics for Super Technologies, proposes that a new physics exists. The findings are based on 16 years of extensive numerical modeling with empirical data, and therefore, both testable and irrefutable. The Need: In 2012 Prof. Nemiroff, using NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope photographs, showed that quantum foam cannot exists. In 2013, Solomon invalidated exotic matter and all string theories. These have been reduced to mathematical conjecture. In 2015 the Kavli Foundation, with Prof. Efstathiou, Prof. Pryke, Prof. Steinhard discussed the issues with the Planck Space Telescope findings of a Universe that is significantly simpler than our theories. Therefore the need for new physics. The Benefits: The replacement of the Schr dinger wave function with a simpler probabilistic wave function, results in a new electron shell model based on the Rydberg equation, giving exact results with quantum mechanics; leading to a new Standard Model and the unification of photon shielding, transmission and invisibility as the same phenomenon. Solomon's inference is that any current or future stealth technology can be neutralized. "Benjamin is the second researcher I have met who has tried to consider a non singular cosmology. The first was Cristi Stoica, whom I met in 2010." Andrew Beckwith PhD

An African-American Reverend named Benjamin Tucker Tanner is the talented author behind this 1895 book about the falsehood of portraying Soloman as a member of the white race, particularly in American Christian teachings.
A prominent theologian, brilliant researcher, and prolific editor, Tanner points out, that by all accounts, the words of the bible itself describe the descendants of Solomon such that there is no doubt that he could not have belonged to the white race.
When challenged to validate his reason for championing this point, Rev. Tanner replied: "In no country in Christendom, except the United States of America, would the color of a man be deemed a subject worthy of consideration. In all other lands, it is race or nation. In the United States, however, that is mightier than manhood- mightier than race or nation, morals or intellect, is the negative quality of the color of the skin." Well said.

Описание: You who are anxious to get where you think you're going...sit down with us beyond the wheel of time -- Rumi Life is short. Will you learn to live with passion before it's too late? Will you learn to fight for things worth fighting for? We think of wisdom as a scholarly pursuit...something for the universities. But what if wisdom is something more? What if wisdom is simply knowing what in life is really worth doing and what is not? In the words of Henry David Thoreau: When we are unhurried and wise, we perceive that only great and worthy things have any permanent and absolute existence, that petty fears and petty pleasures are but the shadow of reality. Within the pages of The Wisdom Writers, you will learn to: -- Reject Fear Based Mindsets -- Answer the Call to Adventure in Your Life -- Identify the Kind of Man or Woman You Want to Become -- Be Drawn by the Stronger Pull of What You Really Love I've kept this book short for a reason, condensing two decades of study into the most essential 100 pages. For only $2.99 can you afford not to buy this book? It's time to start untangling knotted ideas. Untie yourself in a higher world today.

Описание: What can we expect from life in a fallen world? How are we to live as redeemed people in such a world?
In 22 concise chapters, Benjamin Shaw shows that the answers to these questions are to be found in the message of the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes. Whereas some commentators have viewed the book of Ecclesiastes as an alien intrusion into the Old Testament, and have deemed it of little use for the New Testament believer, Benjamin Shaw does not hold to this misguided view.
In this commentary, designed to be used by non-specialists, he shows that this divinely inspired book is far from being the muddled collection of disparate voices it is sometimes presented to be. He demonstrates that in reality, Ecclesiastes is an integral part of the word of God, and conveys a very distinct message to all who are willing to listen to its wisdom.
