Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Empathy and Intuition in Distance LearningProfessor of cognitive sciences and education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, Howard Gardner is among the most influential education theorists in the world. Over the past twenty years, his theory of multiple intelligences, according to which every individual possesses various intelligences in different areas, has been broadly established in education. This theory is a revolution in attitudes on learning, especially concerning the greater customization of curricula, instruction, and evaluation, as well as the study of the nature of interdisciplinary efforts in education. This short work reflects on some intelligences that are not yet accepted by Gardner. Primarily empathy and intuition, which after many lectures, and through my personal experience, have led me to think that they should be an integral part of distance learning.Ginette Provost Flatow.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Writing The Blue Hippopotamus was great fun-sort of reliving my early life and making some incidents even better than they were the first time. What I wanted most of all was to write a page-turner, to give the reader a chance to actually live and feel what I had lived and felt. In a sense, my own life was a page-turner, from day to day, and a wonderful one that I enjoyed and loved-even the difficult and painful happenings. I think that I've been tremendously lucky to have had such a-almost a charmed life-and that's what I wanted to share with the reader. Yes, there were moments and incidents that were difficult and sometimes very painful, like when I said my final goodbye to Maidi, the love of my life, and what a remarkable love that was-several professional authors have called that good-bye 'heartbreaking,' and so it was. It was my heart that was breaking, and Maidi's, but we both knew that it had to be that way, and we accepted it. And then of course, many, many years later, we finally met again by chance, or by accident, in Paris, and the closure we had needed for so many years finally arrived. I wrote the book when I was ninety, and I was the last survivor of our group of five. We had all been made to swear that we would never tell. But after seventy years, I felt the story could, and should, be told.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - After searching for sixty years for a long-lost gold mine known as the Adams Diggings, Ralph Reynolds tells all he's learned. This is a rousing tale of Apache cunning and Yankee gullibility. And it's a story of lost lives, emptied souls, and misguided senses in a land of magnificent mountains, mesas, and canyons. His book delivers evidence that three or more prospecting parties were massacred after they located the diggings and the startling implications of these events. And most rewardingly, it tells how, and most likely from where, the gold nuggets were clandestinely removed late in the nineteenth century and why and where the mother lode may soon be found.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - People say I inspire them, but I'm not sure why; I am a young girl from the hood who made it out. I don't consider myself to have all the answers. My childhood life was hell from as far back as I can remember. By the age of five years old, I had been exposed to homelessness and child molestation. I was placed in foster care and four different living situations (from one home to another), in and out of the court system, exposed to child protection agencies, missing my father who was in prison, and dealing with my mother who was in and out of jail as well as addicted to crack cocaine and men who were no good for her. As far as I can remember, this was my life before kindergarten.I have lived through life's many struggles and persevered through every storm that blew my way. I am writing this story to inspire you. As you are going through your storms, let my stories of triumph and encouragement minister to your spirit and give you the strength to fight through any given situation (molestation, rape, failure, death, legal problems, horrific home situations, problems at work, financial woes, and any given burden). I challenge you to lay them down one by one and press forward to become a stronger you. I hope that you become motivated with every scripture and quote. Do not let the statistics in society that condemn you to fail define you. It is my prayer that you can keep moving forward and see the light at the end of the tunnel. I want you to know it is not where you start but how you finish. Not everyone is equal, as we are born into circumstances beyond our control. Some of us have more advantages than others do, whether it is better homes and cars, better parents, or ideal living situations. Like a deck of cards, some of us get the ace of spades and some get the joker. Life is not an even playing field; the cards you're dealt may not be the ones you desire, but if you keep playing your hand you could still win the game. It is what you do with your situation that counts. Don't throw in your hand and quit the game. Play it to the best of your ability. Allow your struggles to make you a stronger and better you. God will not place more on you than you can bear.I would not be the woman I am today if God had not allowed me to go through the hurt and pain of my past. I overcame many obstacles and persevered to become a full-time working mother of five who earned a BA, an MA, an EdS, and a doctoral degree-all by twenty-seven years old-and I was a school administrator by thirty. People tell me that I inspire, motivate, and encourage students, teachers, administrators, and everyday people who hear my story to not give up. I am living proof that you should not give in to statistics that say you will not amount to anything because of the cards of life dealt to you. I have been in education for fifteen years. I enjoy working with alternatively educated, underprivileged, incarcerated and at-risk youth. I am qualified to give my knowledge and expertise because my life speaks for itself. I have witnessed what inspiration and motivation can do for children who have lost all hope or never once believed. This is my story: The Cards of Life. When all hope is gone, trust then believe.'.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This is a unique book that is highly inspired by the Holy Spirit. The book is meant to highlight and elaborate the crucial findings behind every successful relationship and marriage. Possibly, you have heard the aphorism, 'You are whom you are attracted to.'

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book, which is based on many true events, is suspenseful, morbid, heartbreaking, and occasionally comical. From the first chapter where she loses her virginity in a devastating way that she brought on herself completely, to wanting nothing more than to run from her fears after being mentally violated by a sex-craved man whore. When she finally gets away from it all and moves to college, she goes into a deep depression realizing that she was sexually assaulted, perhaps even raped in a way the first time she had sex. Paranoia creeping up slowly, but dangerously into her sane state of mind has her on edge.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - As children, we are captivated by stories of huge fantastical creatures, such as the wooly mammoth and the pterodactyl. The prevailing wisdom is these species are long extinct, but new evidence uncovered by author Gerald McIsaac casts doubt on these widely held assumptions. McIsaac gathered stories from the elders of the First Nation-those who were formerly referred to as Indians, Native Americans, or Aboriginals. First Nation elders provided McIsaac with detailed descriptions of six species long thought to be extinct. These species include the Devil Bird, the Hairy Elephant, the Wilderness Wolf, the Rubber-Faced Bear, the Lake Monster, and Sasquatch. In Bird from Hell, McIsaac separates fact from fiction by comparing eyewitness accounts of these species with scientific opinion concerning their identity. His conclusion is that these huge species are not extinct, but he needs assistance in gathering evidence to substantiate this claim. By following the simple directions provided in Bird from Hell, you can help prove these various species still exist.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - IN SEARCH OF YESTERDAY Death of a Culture This is the true story of a little boy searching for his identity for his biological father. It is the story of a boy born into a world of turmoil and havoc-a world where not all was well, where war, starvation and bombs, confusion, lies, and deceit-were the rule; and food, safety, and happiness-were the exception. It is the story of a little boy's fears and anxieties in a country far, far away where life was an uncertainty and death a looming promise-where the world was upside down. It is the true story of a little boy that found himself trapped in a country at war with itself, where human life was at the mercy of the Nazis during the Jewish holocaust (before 1945) in Czechoslovakia-and at the mercy of the Czech Bolsheviks (after 1945) during the Sudetenland holocaust that drove untold millions of women and children across Europe's wasteland like cattle. But it is also the true story of a little boy that, with the help of his family, and the generosity of the American people, rose above the devastation suffered and inflicted upon him as a child and became a man loved and respected by others. It is not a story of failure! It is, really, when you think about it, a story of success and triumph. …

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Nations have risen to power through their might and driven by greed they have held many people in bondage. When the workforce was limited, they bought and sold slaves. Slavery is still taking place on the continent of Africa, and no one is there protesting. Politics! It is all about politics and the political game that is being played out in the greatest nation that the world has ever known could be its demise. We will examine the foundation that was laid by those who came from Great Britain and with only thirteen colonies became the ruler of the seas and skies with an army that is unmatched anywhere. Politics! Yes, politics played by men and women desiring power and wealth have brought us the very brink of collapse as they tend to forget who it was that gave so much to so few in the beginning. Thousands upon thousands have given their lives for the freedoms that we have in this land, and yet there are many who do not care, preferring a socialist form of government. But there is still hope for a failing nation.…

The book opens with the traumatic loss of the heroine Miriam's father, which leaves her at the mercy of an emotionally unstable mother. As Miriam grows older, she grapples with questions of sexuality and spirituality and the tension between them. She struggles to reconcile her practice with her Christian beliefs.The novel is set in apartheid South Africa when racism and oppression were at their height.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Astronomy has so often been seen as 'the poor man of science;' that misperception however, is thankfully being dispelled as the great strides in scientific discoveries have served to engender an awareness of the close interlinkage between astronomical and terrestrial phenomena. One cannot understand the origin and nature of the Universe without knowledge of the advances currently being made in the field of sub-atomic physics - most especially with regard to the quest for the now not-so-elusive Higgs-Boson particle. Likewise, observation and study of the Universe allows scientists to work within the largest laboratory ever constructed - a laboratory given by nature and at zero cost, yet which provides the means for the study of sub-atomic phenomena at energies beyond what even the best of terrestrial laboratories can produce. It is within this context that Francis Andrew has written 'Journeys With Stellarman' with the hope of encouraging the next generation of scientists not to eschew what can only turn out to be a highly rewarding lifetime's career in the astronomical sciences. Siddhant Bahuguna, India ---------- Francis Andrew has written a truly unique form of book which blends science fiction with the factual data of the astronomical sciences. Its rich mix of fact and fantasy within a literary stylistic form of school-boy humour ensures that it entertains as much as it educates. I see no reason why this book should not be the means by which children are brought to a realisation that astronomy is truly a worthwhile career to pursue and a vocation that is equal to any other which one may care to name.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The oil boom era had just set its foot in Nigeria of the 1970s. The country and its communities had to struggle with the demands of modernity vis-à-vis traditional ways of life, this time at a higher level. Young people from rural communities continuously heard wondrous stories of the wonder of city life and would go the extra mile to be part of it. One of them, Ekam, has a chance, grabs it, but is ensnared and subsequently entwined by all the evils of city life. A woman, through her unpublished script, lets Ekam into the story of another woman that was unable to manage the stresses of city life. The uncanny resemblance with her life in many respects jolts her, but temporarily. The decision to go back to a life of decadence-a departure from the usual case of 'turning over a new leaf'-should make the society wonder if it is equipped to handle moral relapse or sustained immorality.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Fadeke's story in Little-by-Little is indeed an account of God's miraculous healing power in a way that shows the sovereignty of God in the affairs of men. I have seen the power of God demonstrated amidst her challenges; I have witnessed firsthand her complete dependence on God and her courage in the face of daunting medical diagnoses. Her story confirms that medicine does not contradict faith, but rather that faith actually supports and enhances medical procedures. I have come to realise that the times when God brings gradual healing actually requires a strong stand of faith on His word over a period of time. Fadeke has clearly demonstrated that the issue of gradual healing is no less spectacular a miracle than instantaneous healing. -Dr. Tony Rapu FADEKE THANKS, I GOT THE BOOK.
