A Contract With The Earth E-mail
Thursday, 04 December 2008

contractwiththeearth.covr.jpg(NAPSA)-Americans know that shaping a healthy environment is the one challenge that eclipses all others-and an interesting book, written from a conservative point of view, offers practical ways to meet that challenge.

Appealing to America's core conservative readership, "A Contract With The Earth" (Plume), written by former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and conservationist Terry L. Maple, reminds readers that the values of conservative America are aligned with the principles of conservation and "entrepreneurial environmentalism."

While the book is the first conservative voice in the environmental debate, Gingrich and Maple emphasize that saving the Earth is not-and cannot be-a partisan issue.

The authors outline a 10-point Contract with the Earth that promotes ingenuity over rhetoric, maintaining that the expansion of "green business," new technologies and environmental economic incentives will be the defining opportunities for the leaders of the next generation.

Green leadership is vital to a robust American economy, say the authors, and the country should serve as an example to the rest of the world. An inspiring call to action, the book offers a vision of the future that is both hopeful and achievable. Available wherever books are sold.
 
The Passion Test E-mail
Thursday, 04 December 2008
(NAPSA)-When you begin to do what you love, what you are truly passionate about, life has a way of pulling you irresistibly in directions you never imagined.

That's the message behind The New York Times bestseller "The Passion Test: The Effortless Path to Discovering Your Life Purpose" (Plume).

For many, the first step in leading a passion-driven life is to discover just what they feel most passionate about-and to help people discover just what that passion is, the book's authors, Janet Bray Attwood and Chris Attwood, have composed a Passion Test.

Whatever your goals might be-whether you want to be a multimillionaire or spend your time backpacking around the globe or just find balance in your life-the test can help you identify your top five passions and then learn how to align your life with what matters most to you.

Combining powerful storytelling and profound wisdom from models of passionate living such as Jack Canfield, Richard Paul Evans and Stephen M.R. Covey, as well as their own personal experience, the Attwoods show how living a full, impassioned life is not only possible, it's inevitable-for anyone willing to take the test.

Available wherever books are sold. For more information, visit www.thepassiontest.com .

The program will also include some orchestra standards, all of which show the orchestra’s own fiery fiddle sections.

Actor Paul Newman said of Time for Three, “To hear these three young guys is to be thankful that music was invented… If I had been able to create a sound like these kids a few years back, I might have thought twice about going into acting!”

·     Saturday, Nov. 29, 8 p.m., Progress Energy Center for the Arts – Mahaffey Theatre, St. Petersburg
