Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Repeatedly and frequently means time and again, but is more clumsily stated. Over and over. Mankind and the animal kingdom are habitual repeaters of their actions and behavior patterns. It can be said that there is nothing new under the sun. There are other ways of saying 'History repeats itself'. You could say the same thing in a different manner. 'What has been will be again, and what has been done, will be done again'. This book illustrates how we never learn a lesson, but continue repeating the errors of the past. Adolf Hitler did not learn from Napoleon Bonaparte that attacking the Russian homeland in winter is fraught with danger, and will end up in a terrible defeat. The United States did not learn anything from entering into a war with North Korea after World War II, because, despite the fact that she did not win, she continued going to war with other Asian countries within the next few decades in Vietnam, Laos. Cambodia and Afghanistan - never coming out as clear-cut winners. Small countries frequently defend themselves against larger countries. Throughout history, animals continue to suffer from loss of habitat, climate changes, and human hunting. Yet, humans never seem to learn a lesson in attempting to preserve animal lives. If we can't help them, who else can Each time that a large number of animals are lost, they seem to have forgotten preservation tactics. There used to be a statement 'Once bitten, twice shy'. It does not seem so anymore.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Even though we are all different, we are also the same. We share DNA, we require much of the same food, we need the same things in order to live (like oxygen and warmth), or else we die. This does not only apply to human beings. It also applies to birds, animals and fish, with some exceptions. We and the birds and animals, insects and fish have similar habits. We all migrate to different places at different stages in our lives. We love each other, and we fight with each other. Our friends become our enemies, and our enemies become our friends. Our lives are affected by different weather conditions and natural phenomena, such as earth-quakes, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes and lightning. Humans require what the ants need, and the bumble bees demand what the elephant is searching for. Many of us, who can think or cannot think, have discovered a creator and a life after death, while some have found a death after life. We have been promised by some good friends that there is somebody taking care of us to make sure that we will be comfortable and wealthy, while others wonder why six million innocent lives were taken during the Holocaust.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - If you happen to be traveling through Outer Space, you might be fortunate enough to pass in the direction of the planet Earth, a beautiful smooth, round object hurtling in an orbit around the sun, on a prescribed course, with its satellite moon orbiting around it. Earth has made countless trillion revolutions around the sun, which will be repeated for evermore. Man has dug holes in the earth's surface to rob it of its precious metals and minerals. He has caused deforestation and burnt the vegetation, exploded bombs, destroyed structures which he and others have built, killed the birds of the air and the sh of the sea. He has helped to decrease the animal population of the earth for the purpose of eating it, or owning its horns, or its skin and its teeth, He has poisoned the air and the lakes. He has slaughtered his brothers. The scars may be seen almost everywhere. There are also wounds where they cannot be seen, as in the minds of man.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Carnivorous animals are more humane than humans. They only kill in order to eat. Humans also kill animals to eat, but very often they kill for fun and pleasure, and for the trophy. They like to display in their living rooms the head of a deer that they have shot, or they sell for profit the horns of a rhinoceros for its supposed sexual advantages, or the skin of a tiger to be used as a floor mat. The defenseless beast has been shot out in the open, with the most up-to-date sophisticated weapon while the shooter is hiding safely behind a large rock, and imagining himself as a hero. He is proud of his cowardly attack in putting to death an innocent and unprotected animal, who is probably more moral than its assassin. Unfortunately, some people treat their fellow humans in the same way. Present-day human predators have enslaved their brethren, entrapped them in a caste system, stolen their land, invaded their countries, conquered and colonized their people, and killed them. The predator is constantly on the war path. In these pages we will discuss man's inhumanity to man. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - According to the New Oxford American Dictionary a mosaic is a picture or a pattern produced by arranging together the small colored pieces of hard material, such as stone, tile or glass. The smaller pieces are an integral part of the whole. Numerous art forms exist in mosaic patterns. Many cultures have practiced this art over the last few thousand years. Mosaics have been found amongst the antiquities of ancient Mesopotamia. They existed in ancient Greece and Rome, and they are still being made today. One might refer to a colorful and differing pattern, such as a bird's plumage as a mosaic of feathers of different colors. In a similar manner one could refer to the tales told in this book as parts of a literary mosaic.All tiles in this mosaic are based on events and situations that have occurred. Truth is stranger than fiction and as variegated as the tiles of a mosaic.…
