Thicke Francis (34 results)

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Francis Thicke, PhD, is a scientist, an expert on sustainable agriculture, and a practicing dairy farmer. He is widely consulted for his clear explanations of the economic and ecological forces that are changing the way we produce food in the modern world. This book draws from his background as an organic dairy farmer, and as a soil scientist who has served at the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C. as National Program Leader for Soil Science. This introductory book addresses topics from industrial farming (including CAFOs ��- Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations) to the ongoing conflicts between factory farms and family farms, to how family farms can be profitable after peak oil. He also examines industrial agriculture and nature's own ecological methods, and shows how, in his own dairy operation, new sustainable approaches can be less costly, more productive, and return more profits to farmers. Dr. Thicke is an advocate for the systematic improvement of agricultural technology and farming methods, and for the effective use of sustainable, renewable sources of energy to achieve self-sufficiency in food production. His insights have proven increasingly relevant in the development of new public policy for Iowa, with profound implications for the United States as a whole.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Your Cosmic Journey provides a summary and synthesis of "esoteric" spiritual literature-from far in the past to insights of recent times-without advocacy for any particular spiritual system. As the book's Introduction says: "The purpose of this book is to demystify the mystical, to make the esoteric exoteric-that is, comprehensible for everyone." This book integrates the vast literature of spiritual knowledge and experience into a comprehensive model of the structure and function of the physical and spiritual worlds, and how they are intimately integrated. The model, or paradigm, presented here is based on an understanding that we are multidimensional beings living in a multidimensional universe, and that the functioning of our physical world is intimately interconnected with, and dependent upon, the functions of higher dimensions.If you hold strongly to a religious dogma, or particular beliefs about the nature of the spiritual world, you are likely to find things in this book that do not align with your beliefs. You are encouraged you to set aside your preconceptions and beliefs and read with an open mind. Some paragraphs have been labeled "Heresy Alert." They are said to be strongly grounded in a number of credible sources in the spiritual literature, but likely to be strongly contradictory to some people's scientific, social, or religious beliefs or norms. You are not required to believe anything in this book in order to understand the summary and synthesis being presented. The book provides details-synthesized from many sources-on what to expect when your physical body dies, what happens during your time in higher dimensions between lives, and what the processes are that a soul goes through in planning for a new human incarnation. The book dispels many common fears and false ideas about death, heaven, and hell.Your Cosmic Journey also describes the extensive spiritual ecology that exists and functions in higher dimensions, and how that spiritual ecology interacts with and supports the functioning of the three-dimensional physical and biological ecology we experience on Earth. The book examines the prevailing perspective of science on higher dimensional knowledge and experience, and how the scientific method could be used to develop a paradigm of higher-dimensional reality, and use controlled research to empirically test the tenets of that paradigm. The book also summarizes what the sages of the ages have told us about higher states of consciousness, ascension, karma, dharma, free will, "miraculous" events, gods and Gods, and extraterrestrials, as well as what is the purpose of human incarnations and the goal of human evolution.Reading and studying esoteric spiritual literature can be tedious and confusing. This book integrates and synthesizes that literature for you-without advocating for any particular belief system-and provides references at the end of each chapter for those seeking further information on specific topics. Your Cosmic Journey summarizes spiritual literature on death, reincarnation, life between lives, states of consciousness, ascension, karma, dharma, free will, "miracles," gods and Gods, extraterrestrials, and human evolution.
