In the eternal past, before the boundary of time was added to the dimensions of the universe, superior beings referred to as the Elohim Council administered the cosmos from the various planets scattered throughout the countless galaxies of the corporal universe. Shortly after the recreation of Earth, a war began between the Seed of woman and the seed of the Serpent. The novel allows you to step back into the folds of the ancient past and become a witness to the origins of the Nephilim and the resulting seed war. As the curtain is drawn, the past sheds light on the present and reveals the purpose and destiny of the Promise Seed. In the current day, the Gruen family and a reporter, Justin Freed, are set up as combatants of this war. They will answer the call to duty and prepare to fight battles that will right ancient wrongs and restore justice. This is a war of the supernatural and requires supernatural tactics to win each battle. As the war progresses, the reader soon discovers that battles are only won as the participants discover God-given keys to unlock the gates of Hades. More than a novel, The Seed War contains revelation of how this age-old war began and imparts insights to open the eyes of the reader to see the enemy for who he is. This novel will not only entertain, but also open ears to hear the battle cry of the righteous --- the cry for justice!

"The book explores how postwar US presidents used communication strategies to craft new roles or personas for presidential leadership that amplified the necessity of American power and inserted American leadership into precarious situations that ensured national engagement in the next conflict"--

As the first botanical history of World War II, Plants Go to War examines military history from the perspective of plant science. From victory gardens to drugs, timber, rubber, and fibers, plants supplied materials with key roles in victory. Vegetables provided the wartime diet both in North America and Europe, where vitamin-rich carrots, cabbages, and potatoes nourished millions. Chicle and cacao provided the chewing gum and chocolate bars in military rations. In England and Germany, herbs replaced pharmaceutical drugs; feverbark was in demand to treat malaria, and penicillin culture used a growth medium made from corn. Rubber was needed for gas masks and barrage balloons, while cotton and hemp provided clothing, canvas, and rope. Timber was used to manufacture Mosquito bombers, and wood gasification and coal replaced petroleum in European vehicles. Lebensraum, the Nazi desire for agricultural land, drove Germans eastward; troops weaponized conifers with shell bursts that caused splintering. Ironically, the Nazis condemned non-native plants, but adopted useful Asian soybeans and Mediterranean herbs. Jungle warfare and camouflage required botanical knowledge, and survival manuals detailed edible plants on Pacific islands. Botanical gardens relocated valuable specimens to safe areas, and while remote locations provided opportunities for field botany, Trees surviving in Hiroshima and Nagasaki live as a symbol of rebirth after vast destruction.

The traditional image of New Zealand is one of verdant landscapes with sheep grazing on lush green pastures. Yet this landscape is almost entirely an artificial creation. As Britain became increasingly reliant on its overseas territories for supplies of food and raw material, so all over the Empire indigenous plants were replaced with English grasses to provide the worked up products of pasture - meat, butter, cheese, wool, and hides. In New Zealand this process was carried to an extreme, with forest cleared and swamps drained. How, why and with what consequences did the transformation of New Zealand into these empires of grass occur? 'Seeds of Empire' provides both an exciting appraisal of New Zealand's environmental history and a long overdue exploration of the significance of grass in the processes of sowing empire.
