Hardback. Condition: Like New. An "UNEXPECTEDLY PROFOUND," "DEEPLY STRANGE," and "UTTERLY UNIQUE tour of the human body" (Publishers Weekly) "A must read for anyone who's ever been amazed or aghast at what just came out." -- Rachel Yoder, author of Nightbitch To live, our bodies must continuously shed materials. Stop urinating, stop defecating, stop expelling breath, and death is near. While we often think of these materials as embarrassing waste products, they serve far more complex functions. The color of our mucus, the volume of our flatus, the rhythm of our breath: taken together, these materials tell a story of the human that produced them. Moreover, the exchange, elimination, and frequent disguise of our effluence has been elemental to the development of human civilization, and our lives today are still governed by a host of laws and superstitions and social mores about the materials our bodies leave behind. In each of twelve discrete chapters, Earthly Materials tells a story about one of the materials the human body sheds--from breath and urine to vomit and tears. Sometimes the questions examined are historical: What have we physically done with all the urine produced in our cities? Sometimes they approach the matter through a philosophical lens: Is it ever logical to cry? Sometimes they explore recent scientific discoveries: How is mucus forcing us to reconsider our understanding of natural selection? But they always offer a window into how we negotiate our place in the world and how we get along with one another. Cutter Wood's delightfully weird, richly informative, and unexpectedly poetic tour of our bodily excretions uncovers extraordinary truths about ourselves--and the human story. It's a journey that reveals how our most intimate materials are inextricably linked to our history and our humanity. A Scientific Inquiry: Delve into the latest discoveries, from how mucus is reshaping our understanding of natural selection to the complex biology of tears. Deep Historical Dives: Uncover the surprising history of civilization through its waste, including how ancient cities managed their urine and what that reveals about their social structures. Philosophical Questions: Go beyond the physical to ask profound questions, like whether it's ever truly logical to cry, and what our reactions to vomit say about our empathy. Literary Nonfiction: Experience a unique blend of lyrical prose and rigorous research that makes this tour of the human body both unexpectedly poetic and deeply informative.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Fifteen years have passed since Hurricane Irene hit South Florida by surprise in 1999. For an entire year before the hurricane hit, a group of God's people had been warning it would hit by surprise, and had even been interviewed by a local NBC affiliate because of their prediction. That interview aired twelve days before Irene had begun to form (the interview is available to watch on hurricanirene.com), and it undergirds the facts contained in this book. God spoke clearly to a group of people so that a major disaster might be averted in the South Florida area. This book recounts the history of how God prepared a people to stand in the gap for South Florida, and invites us to take our places on the wall, using the keys of authority that Jesus granted to his Church. The Lord is always seeking those who will stand in the gap. This book will help you learn a bit more about how that is done, and it will inspire you to seek the Lord and his voice at an even higher level.…

Paperback. Condition: Fair. The girl who led an army, the peasant who crowned a king, the maid who became a legend It is the fifteenth century, and the tumultuous Hundred Years' War rages on. France is under siege, English soldiers tear through the countryside destroying all who cross their path, and Charles VII, the uncrowned king, has neither the strength nor the will to rally his army. And in the quiet of her parents' garden in Domremy, a peasant girl sees a spangle of light and hears a powerful voice speak her name. Jehanne. The story of Jehanne d'Arc, the visionary and saint who believed she had been chosen by God, who led an army and saved her country, has captivated our imagination for centuries. But the story of Jehanne--the girl--whose sister was murdered by the English, who sought an escape from a violent father and a forced marriage, who taught herself to ride and fight, and who somehow found the courage and tenacity to persuade first one, then two, then thousands to follow her, is at once thrilling, unexpected, and heartbreaking. Rich with unspoken love and battlefield valor, The Maid is a novel about the power and uncertainty of faith, and the exhilarating and devastating consequences of fame. …
