The Hope for Audacity: From Cynicism to Hope in Educational Leadership and Policy is authored by educators who feel compelled to make their voices heard - fueled by their passion for authentic learning, their vision for the future of education, and their deep concern with the nurturing of our democracy, which they believe is being endangered by market-logic decisions in educational policy. This book is a thoughtful affirmation of the very tenets of President Obama's hopeful vision for this nation, not mere empty or cynical critique of his policies. However, the book also challenges him to examine the contradictions in his stated philosophy and policies. The book is a plea to translate his beliefs into political action and to, thus, transform hope into reality. Ultimately, the authors express their genuine commitment and eagerness to work hand in hand with President Obama in educational reform and to attain his vision of "Yes, we can." ...

African American traditional medicine is an American classic that emerged out of the necessity of its people to survive. It began with the healing knowledge brought with the African captives on the slave ships and later merged with Native American, European and other healing traditions to become a full-fledged body of medicinal practices that has lasted in various forms down to the present day. Working the Roots: Over 400 Years Of Traditional African American Healing is the result of first-hand interviews, conversations, and apprenticeships conducted and experienced by author Michele E. Lee over several years of living and studying in the rural South and in the West Coast regions of the United States. She combines a novelist's keen ear for storytelling and dialogue and a healer's understanding of folk medicine arts into a book that makes for both pleasant, interesting reading, and serves as a permanent household healing guide. Divided between sections on interviews of healers ...

Essays, research, and art projects that formulate a Tidalectic worldview, addressing our most threatened ecosystem: the oceans. The oceans cover two-thirds of the planet, shaping human history and culture, home to countless species. Yet we, as mostly land-dwelling humans, often fail to grasp the importance of these vast bodies of water. Climate change destabilizes notions of land-based embeddedness, collapses tropes of time and space, and turns our future more oceanic. Tidalectics imagines an oceanic worldview, with essays, research, and artists' projects that present a different way of engaging with our hydrosphere. Unbound by land-based modes of thinking and living, the essays and research in Tidalectics reflect the rhythmic fluidity of water. Tidalectics emerges from the Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary (TBA21)-Academy, the only Western arts organization entirely dedicated to work on climate change and the oceans. In 2016, TBA21-Academy became the first cultural organization ...

Das Buch befasst sich mit Schlüsselthemen und Grundlagen der Entwicklung inklusiver Kindertageseinrichtungen. Dabei werden vor allem drei Dinge deutlich: Erstens bewegt Inklusion die gesamte Kita und lässt sich nicht als "Zusatzprogramm" umsetzen. Zweitens ist Partizipation ein Schlüssel inklusiver Entwicklungen in Kitas und drittens findet Inklusion in Kitas unter widersprüchlichen Bedingungen statt. Der Band zeigt Schlüsselthemen und Grundlagen für die Entwicklung inklusiver Kindertageseinrichtungen auf. Dabei dokumentiert er theoretische Grundlagen und Rahmungen, das forschungsmethodische Design und Vorgehen (vorwiegend qualitativ) sowie zentrale Erkenntnisse (Partizipation, Kooperation, Transition, Reflexion). Die empirisch gewonnen Erkenntnisse werden dabei in einen theoretischen und konzeptionellen Gesamtrahmen gesetzt. Das Buch verbindet so theoretische Grundlegungen der Inklusionsforschung mit Ergebnissen und Erkenntnissen der wissenschaftlichen Begleitstudie sowie mi...

When diagnosed with a fatal illness at the age of twenty six, Eleanor Gray is resigned to her fate-at least until the enigmatic Dublin Helos appears and makes her an offer she knows she should refuse: Life or Death? With a decision as harmless as checking the wrong box on a mysterious questionnaire, Ellie is plunged into a dangerous world where souls are sold to the highest bidder and pleasure is fueled by pain. The rules of this new life are simple: submit everything-mind, body and soul. But the further Ellie falls under Dublin's control, the more she comes to realize that it's not just her sanity at stake, but her heart and a whole lot of blood too.

Romantic poet, philologist, and ethnographer of the Galician revival. While studying at University of Lviv and at the Greek Catholic Theological Seminary in Lviv, he associated with Markiyan Shashkevych and Yakiv Holovatsky, and the three of them formed the Ruthenian Triad.

Later that year he left the Uniate church in protest against the church hierarchy's sanctions against him and ...

Crossing the Unknown Sea is about reuniting the imagination with our day to day lives. It shows how poetry and practicality, far from being mutually exclusive, reinforce each other to give every aspect of our lives meaning and direction. For anyone who wants to deepen their connection to their life's work--or find out what their life's work is--this book can help navigate the way. Whyte encourages readers to take risks at work that will enhance their personal growth, and shows how burnout can actually be beneficial and used to renew professional interest. He asserts that too many people blindly trudge through a mediocre work life because so many "busy" tasks prevent significant reflection and analysis of job satisfaction. People often turn to spiritual practice or religion to nurture their souls, but overlook how work can actually be our greatest opportunity for discovery and growth. Crossing the Unknown Sea combines poetry, gifted storytelling and Whyte's perso...
