Refreshment brings to mind anything from a cold cup of water at the end of a Marathon to the circular button at the top of your computer screen. It reminds us of car trips with kids and the need to stop along the way. But God’s definition of Refreshment is different. His Refreshment is unlimited and sometimes hidden. It goes beyond surface needs and pours into the heart. And He knows when we need it even before we do. This book is a collection of writings about those kinds of Refreshments, designed to bring sighs of relief in the middle of a busy and sometimes dark world. It is about finding humor in hidden places and joy bursting out of sorrow. It is about red race cars, classy herons, moon-guided turtles, scary fog horns, pink bathing suits, surprising sunrises, Moses, Esther, and Marilyn Monroe. With a little of Paul, Habakkuk, and Elijah thrown in. They bridge the gap between then and now and bring together the common emotions we have shared throughout history. They help us discover deeper insights into the character of God. And they bring us to those “Wow!” moments of light that remind us how close He has always been.
The oceans cover 70% of the terrestrial surface, and exert a pervasive influence on the Earth's environment but their nature is poorly recognized. Knowing the ocean's role deeply and understanding the complex, physical, biological, chemical and geological systems operating within it represent a major challenge to scientists today. Seafloor observatories offer scientists new opportunites to study multiple, interrelated natural phenomena over time scales ranging from seconds to decades, from episodic to global and long-term processes. Seafloor Observatories poses the important and apparently simple question, "How can continuous and reliable monitoring at the seafloor by means of Seafloor Observatories extend exploration and improve knowledge of our planet?" The book leads the reader through: the present scientific challenges to be addressed with seafloor observatories the technical solutions for their architecture an excursus on worldwide ongoing projects and programmes some relevant scientific multidisciplinary results and a presentation of new and interesting long-term perspectives for the coming years. Current results will yield significant improvements and exert a strong impact not only on our present knowledge of our planet but also on human evolution.
