Indonesia Tsunami-the Second War to the World People

The first tsunami hit Indonesia in 2004. While the sadness has not disappeared from the bottom of people's heart, another tsunami hit western Indonesia suddenly in 2010. The death toll has risen to 450 Sunday 1st November, while there are still 96 persons were lost. It is said the number is likely to climb higher because hundreds of missing people may have been swept away. We are sure that the Indonesian rescue teams are still battling to find the missing people. This is not only a war between the Indonesian and the natural disaster, but also a war between the world people and the natural disaster.

Having read the news, I was really very sad for the people. The people are suffered too much and they are suffering more. As a common man, I want to try my best to help them, donating as much money as possible. I even want to fly there to help them, giving the suffered a bottle of water. It is because I have ever experienced the earthquake on 12th May 2008 and its pain is still vividly in memory. Without other's help, I can not live today. I hope people can try their best to help the Indonesian just as help me. Here is a real story I saw, just hoping more people know what is going on in that place.

"I totally do not know what to do in the following days. I lost my lovely kids as well as all my property. I have never thought about how to get rid of this terrible disaster to start my new life" a villager named Musa cried to the reporter.

"I dug out my kids from the ruins and washed them by myself, it was happened just in this morning...." He said with a lost voice. Musa's home is just 100 miles to the shore.

Before the tsunami happened, there are 258 villagers in the village. The people there are live for fishing. Their life is in peace and serenity. And many people also come to this village for live due to the rich life. And Musa has been in that village for 14 years. However, a natural disaster took 125 persons. What a tragedy! Musa lost his elder daughter and two sons in this catastrophe while his wilfe and another son were badly hurt. They together with other injured villagers were sent to the hospital. In addition to, all the dead villagers were buried in the mass graves.

What Musa is doing all the day is nothing but help the rescue team. The reporter witnessed all this happening and he even recorded them by using his Digital Camcorder bought from an online store: http://www.dinodirect.com/camcorders/. What the reporter can do is to record what happened there and write it down to share with the world.

As we all know, all the countries has sent aid worker and relief goods to Indonesia. People all over the world are organizing various rescue working. We hope that the people there can rebuild their home as soon as possible, At the same time, we hope they could be strong enough to live on. God bless them

Gaviotas: A Village to Reinvent the World $3.95 The eastern savannas of war-ravaged Colombia, known as the llanos, are among the most brutal environments on Earth, an unlikely setting for one of the most hopeful environmental stories ever told. Here, more than twenty-five years ago, an intrepid visionary named Paolo Lugari set out to create a village that could sustain itself agriculturally, economically, and artistically. He reasoned that if a community could survive in the Colombian llanos, it would be possible to live anywhere. The new village was named after the graceful river terns common in the area, los gaviotas.The early inhabitants of "Gaviotas" soon realized that if they wanted even basic necessities, they would need to be very resourceful. So they invented wind turbines that convert mild breezes into energy, super-efficient pumps that tap previously inaccessible sources of water, and solar kettles that sterilize drinking water using the furious heat of the tropical sun.They even invented a rain forest Two million pine trees planted as a renewable crop have unexpectedly allowed the rain forest to re-establish itself. Paolo Lugari and the Gaviotans, in their quest to create a model human habitat, serendipitously renewed an entire ecosystem. This is why Colombian author Gabriel Garca Mrquez has called Lugari as The Inventor of the World."

If the World Were a Village: A Book about the World's People $18.62 There are currently more than six billion people on the planet This enormous number can be difficult to grasp, especially for a child.

By exploring the lives of the 100 villagers, children will discover that life in other nations is often very different from their own. The shrunk-down statistics -- some surprising, some shocking -- and David Smith's tips on building "world-mindedness" will encourage readers to embrace the bigger picture and help them to establish their own place in the global village. If the World Were a Village is part of CitizenKid: A collection of books that inform children about the world and inspire them to be better global citizens.

Village Diary $11.81 The second Fairacre novel, from the bestselling author of VILLAGE SCHOOL. In her first book VILLAGE SCHOOL Miss Read gave a picture of the small but detailed world of a typical primary school in a remote country area, a world peopled by the children themselves, Miss Clare the venerable infants teacher, glum Mrs Pringle the cleaner, the vicar and other inhabitants of Fairacre. In VILLAGE DIARY Miss Read describes the people of Fairacre with the same exactitude, sense of comedy and sharp observation. In addition to those characters familiar to readers of VILLAGE SCHOOL there are newcomers, including dictatorial Amy, an old college friend, Mr Mawne, whom the village sees as a possible husband for the unwilling Miss Read, and the earnest new infants teacher. Overshadowing everything, there is the mammoth country pageant in which Fairacre is so sharply and painfully divided...

Once There Was a Village $13.42 Kapralov's work revolves around his years living and working as an artist in New York's East Village in the late 1960's and early 1970's. As Kapralov chronicles the sad and slow deaths of his Slavic compatriots, the exploitation of the naive hippie runaways, the mechanical disintegration of the world in which he lives, his own mental deterioration begins. "The authentic account of a period by a survivor...Kapralov's background-and gift as a writer-make him the right annalist for the East Village."-"The Village Voice" Yuri Kapralov was born in the Caucasus and came to the United States in 1949.

Village School $4.21 The first novel in the beloved Fairacre series, VILLAGE SCHOOL introduces the remarkable schoolmistress Miss Read and her lovable group of children, who, with a mixture of skinned knees and smiles, are just as likely to lose themselves as their mittens. This is the English village of Fairacre: a handful of thatch-roofed cottages, a church, the school, the promise of fair weather, friendly faces, and good cheer -- at least most of the time. Here everyone knows everyone else's business, and the villagers like each other anyway (even Miss Pringle, the irascible, gloomy cleaner of Fairacre School). With a wise heart and a discerning eye, Miss Read guides us through one crisp, glistening autumn in her village and introduces us to a cast of unforgettable characters and a world of drama, romance, and humor, all within a stone's throw of the school. By the time winter comes, you'll be nestled snugly into the warmth and wit of Fairacre and won't want to leave.

Unity Village $21.55 In 1919, Charles and Myrtle Fillmore, founders of the spiritual organization Unity, bought 58 acres of land about 20 miles from downtown Kansas City. With the ideas, faith, and passion of dozens of coworkers, the area grew from a weekend retreat of tents and ponds into Unity Farm, with a national reputation for its orchards and apple products. In 1953, the farm was incorporated as a Missouri municipalityaUnity Village. Those original few acres have now grown to more than 1,400 acres. Today Unity Village is the location of a worldwide ministry of publishing, prayer, and education. It is best known as the home of Daily Word magazine, with millions of readers in more than 180 countries, and Silent Unity, which receives more than two million requests for prayer support annually. Unity Village is on the National Register of Historic Places, and its English Cotswold and Italian architecture draw visitors from around the world.

The Shaker Village $24.95 ">The Shaker faith is estimated to have had a total of fewer than 20,000 members across its 250-year history, yet more than 100,000 people visit the various Shaker villages and museums scattered across the eastern United States every year. We are still fascinated with the world of the Shakers, and authentic examples of Shaker architecture, furniture, and crafts are prized wherever they remain. In The Shaker Village, author and photographer Raymond Bial brings readers the history of the Shaker religion and an examination of the Shaker way of life, which was based on cooperation and self-sufficiency. Each Shaker village was built with the goal of creating a heaven on earth for its inhabitants. The Shaker people were among the first in America to apply science and new learning directly to traditional farming and homekeeping. They invented or improved significantly upon designs of many farm and household items, including some still used today: the flat broom, the slotted spoon, the circular saw, and the idea of selling gardening seeds in packets. Although each Shaker community was self-supporting, the Shakers' success at applying their core values -- simplicity, utility, and tranquility -- carried Shaker villages to a point of abundance: they were able to export their beautiful furniture, delicious foods, and superior wares to the outside world, where they have been appreciated ever since. The Shaker Village is generously illustrated with Bial's evocative photographs of buildings and artifacts from the Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill, Kentucky, one of the largest and best-preserved Shaker sites. The Shaker movement reached its peak in the mid-nineteenth century. Membership began to drop with the onset of the Civil War, and as the new promise of industrialization began to take hold in America, Shaker numbers steadily dwindled. Although the Shaker religion has all but departed, The Shaker Village captures a revelatory glimpse of a legacy that still resounds with modern Americans."

A Village Life $13.12 A Village Life, Louise Gluck's eleventh collection of poems, begins in the topography of a village, a Mediterranean world of no definite moment or place: "All the roads in the village unite at the fountain.""Avenue of Liberty, Avenue of the Acacia Trees--""The fountain rises at the center of the plaza;""on sunny days, rainbows in the piss of the cherub.""--from "tributaries""Around the fountain are concentric circles of figures, organized by age and in degrees of distance: fields, a river, and, like the fountain's opposite, a mountain. Human time superimposed on geologic time, all taken in at a glance, without any undue sensation of speed. Gluck has been known as a lyrical and dramatic poet; since Ararat, she has shaped her austere intensities into book-length sequences. Here, for the first time, she speaks as "the type of describing, supervising intelligence found in novels rather than poetry," as Langdon Hammer has written of her long lines--expansive, fluent, and full--manifesting a calm omniscience. While Gluck's manner is novelistic, she focuses not on action but on pauses and intervals, moments of suspension (rather than suspense), in a dreamlike present tense in which poetic speculation and reflection are possible.

Village Kid $65.33 Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Village Kid is an Australian harness racing gelding. Retiring in 1994 as the richest pacing gelding in the world at the age of 13, Village Kid will long be remembered as the modernday Mount Eden, wowing harness racing fans for the best part of a decade. Bred in New Zealand by Gramatan out of the Regal Yankee mare Totara Valley, Village Kid raced as a three year old in New Zealand with only minor successes. Prominent Western Australian horseman and butcher Bill Horn, who had had previous grand circuit success with the brilliant Black Irish, made an astute decision to purchase the gelding from his New Zealand owners, in partnership with George and Cecilia Cox.

Village in a Valley $24.08 This reprint of the third book in Nichols's Allways trilogy contains a new foreword by Bryan Connon, Beverley Nichols's biographer. Set in the English countryside, the hilarious memoir is as much about the author's love for plants as it is about the village in which he lived. The depictions of flowers and ornamentals -- "A single one of those gloxinias would be an event in Allways ... I should give a party for it" -- are both inspiring and unforgettable. This is the voice of one whose chief endowment is an appreciation for plants and the landscape, including a keen understanding of the importance gardens play in an increasingly modern world.

Village Japan $14.95 In this elegiac account that is part travelogue, part memoir, British poet and writer Malcolm Ritchie recounts his and his wife's unforgettable three-year-sojourn in Sora, a remote farming and fishing village on the Japan Sea coast. Ritchie weaves together anecdotes, conversations, lyrical verses, and unforgettable character studies to vividly and hauntingly evoke the rhythms of life in a traditional rural Japanese community. Underlying this portrait is the author's growing awareness that the aged inhabitants of Sora and the surrounding villages are the custodians of a fragile, barely surviving, way of life, one that is still informed by the cadences of the natural world, under the tutelage of its ancient gods. The book is a paean to a once noble culture all but effaced by Western industrial/technological materialism-the "cultural carcinogens" of the West-which Asian countries such as Japan have all too willingly embraced. Always profound and moving, Village Japan pays lyrical homage to a side of Japan rarely experienced or glimpsed by foreigners today.
