"Protecting Mother Earth from Climate Change" serves as a catalyst for empowering young explorers with a sense of urgency and collective responsibility.

Your purchase of this book directly supports nonprofit organizations dedicated to climate change mitigation, maximizing the impact of collective contributions. Together, we can forge a greener, more resilient world for future generations. Climate change is one of the most important issues of our time. As Nirmal Melam’s book, "Young Minds Mission: Protecting Mother Earth from Climate Change” illustrates, it affects us all. Its impacts are especially important for young people, as they will inherit the world from their elders and have to deal with all the facets of changing climate far into the future. It is never too early to start learning about Earth’s climate, our role in causing climate to change, and how we might best respond to the impacts of climate change. In that light, this book is timely and important. Young Minds Mission has laid out all of this information in language that speaks to our youth, although it is also in language that all can appreciate. As Young Minds Mission shows, Nirmal and his friend Kartikeya has worked hard to develop that understanding. The questions at the end of each chapter invites thinking about and discussing the topics presented. Thus, Young Minds Mission promotes not blind acceptance of what is given, but instead it fosters dialogue and discussion. That dialogue among all of us is vital, for it allows the information presented here to inspire appropriate actions, but not overreaction. Overreacting to climate change could lead to implementing costly measures that do little to protect our world; overreacting can undermine efforts to produce a better future. Equally important, the climate information presented here shows a way forward to a sustainable future that supports us all. In doing so, the chapters in Young Minds Mission provide a basic action with a view of what our future can be. Having such a view is vital, for the challenge of global climate change might seem daunting. Some people might ask: how can I possibly do anything useful on this problem? That attitude could produce a sense of hopelessness and despair. Instead, with the clear presentation of the changes that are occurring, Young Minds Mission shows where we all must work to protect each other while also showing us how we can stop the damaging change from growing worse and worse. Instead, we are given a foundation for hope and a call to action to realize the promise of that hope. Climate change does affect us all, and each with our individual energy and understanding of the world can make a better future.
A fiction story about Camellia , or Coco as her family and close friends used to call her. She had been suffering from a chronic depression since she got married to Shawkat thirty five years ago. They had spent their honeymoon in Seychelles and had bought a Coco De Mer seed as a souvenir. That seed was unlike any other ones; it came from special trees that had a spiritual value for a kingdom of unseen creatures. That the master of the kingdom appointed a keeper for each of those unique seeds, to remain with it wherever it might go and to protect it from any danger or misuse. Mer was the keeper of the seed that Shawkat and Camellia had bought. Mer fell in love with Camellia ever since he saw her in her honeymoon. While the rules of his kingdom considered the falling in love with a human being to be forbidden. Then , Mer appeared first time to Camellia as one of the hotel staff in Seychelles during her honeymoon when she was nineteen years old ,and gifted her on behalf of that hotel a bouquet of flowers. This appearance was also not allowed according to the laws of his kingdom. As those laws allowed them to appear only for good reasons , while his love for Camellia was an evil itself . By committing those two mistakes, his love for Camellia and his appearance for her, Mer lost some of his powers. Mer was always sad and was suffering because of Camellia's sufferings . He couldn't, for a reason, help her but he could help Shawkat instead to be healed from the short memory loss that he had been suffering from, as his case reflected on Camellia and made her unhappy as well. When Shawkat and Camellia traveled once again to Seychelles after thirty five years, Mer and his grandmother appeared to them as vendors of natural herbs . The grandmother made a recipe for Shawkat that helped him to be healed and he restored back his full memory. The recipe was the main cause of shocking and unexpected events that dramatically affected all their lives.
The Sit Room brings you inside the secretive Situation Room of the White House, the most important deliberative room in the world, during the early 1990s when the author was one of the policymakers who framed the Clinton Administration's policy towards the bloody Balkans War. Drawing upon newly declassified documents and his own notes, David Scheffer, who later became America's first Ambassador-at-Large for War Crimes Issues, weaves the true story of how policy options were debated in the Sit Room among the highest national security officials. The road to a final peace deal in late 1995 came at the high price of the murderous siege of Sarajevo and ethnic cleansing of mostly Bosnian Muslims from their homes and towns, including the genocide of Srebrenica's men and teenage boys. The Sit Room reveals the behind-the-scenes story about how American policy evolved--often futilely--to try to stop an intractable war and its shocking atrocities. Main actors in the Sit Room include: the assertive Ambassador to the United Nations, Madeleine Albright; the State Department's ace negotiator, Richard Holbrooke; the cerebral National Security Adviser, Tony Lake; the immigrant Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, John Shalikashvili; the bulldog Deputy National Security Adviser, Sandy Berger; and White House moralist, David Gergen. For almost three years, the Sit Room was littered with shattered proposals to end the war-until armed force backed up diplomacy to compel a fragile peace deal. The Sit Room reveals authentic policy-making at the highest levels, with a unique journey into the arena of war and peace where spirited debate guided America's foreign policy.
