Download or read book Touching Eternity written by Tom Barone and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2001 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: touching eternity explores how teachers can make a long-term impact on the lives of their students. Written in an accessible narrative style, this case study of one high school art teacher and his former students invites readers to engage in fundamental and essential issues in teaching as well as in educational research. Rather than drawing conclusions, this book is uniquely designed to raise questions about the consequences of teaching and learning. “An extraordinary accomplishment. I know of no other book like it in the field of education. Its pages reflect Dewey’s observation that one of the greatest of educational fallacies is that the student learns only what he or she is being taught at the time.... This book breaks new ground.” —Elliot W. Eisner, Lee Jacks Professor of Education and Professor of Art, Stanford University “The strength of this masterfully written book lies in its determinate inconclusiveness. It leaves many questions hauntingly unanswered so that they continue to gnaw at the reader long after the book has been put down...Barone skillfully encourages teachers to debate these questions and interrogate these themes. touching eternity is a book that demands our attention.” —Peter McLaren, Graduate School of Education and Information Studies, UCLA, and author of Che Guevara, Paulo Freire, and the Pedagogy of Revolution “Now more than ever, we need a book that shows us the subtle but long-term effects of a teacher who tells students, ‘Follow your heart.’” —Susan Ohanian, author of Caught in the Middle: Nonstandard Kids and a Killing Curriculum

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Before Fallon was created to destroy. Before love became the ultimate weapon of destruction. There was Amalie and the horror that started a revolution that tore the fabric of humanity, of everything standing in the balance between power, hope and survival.Amalie has one wish, one gnawing desire — she wants to die. She wants to leave this world behind with its pain and darkness. She wants to finally breathe. But Amalie is a prisoner, a disease, not fit for life. She is unwanted, unnatural. She is defective, something useless and broken. Her own mother hadn't wanted her. Her father hated her. The world shunned her and the only person she had ever loved, truly and with all her heart and soul, couldn't stand the sight of her, couldn't stand the thought of ever being with her. She repulsed him. Her insanity disgusted him. He'd forgotten her. He'd left her behind, deserted and abandoned her to a madman hell bent on crushing her, stealing her soul and shattering her will. But what if she's finally given hope? A reason to live? Can Amalie finally accept the hand offering so much for so little in return? Can she love again when she has nothing left to give? Can she finally be free?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Storied Lives: Emancipatory Educational Inquiry—Experience, Narrative, & Pedagogy in the International Landscape of Diversity contains exemplary research practices, strategies, and findings gleaned from the contributions to the 15 issues of the Journal of Critical Inquiry Into Curriculum and Instruction (JCI~>CI). Founding Editor Tonya Huber initiated the JCI~>CI in 1997, as a refereed journal committed to publishing educational scholarship and research of professionals in graduate study. The journal was distinguished by its requirement that the scholarship be the result of the first author’s graduate research—according to Cabell’s Directory, the first journal to do so. Equally important, the third issue of each volume targeted wide representation of cultures and world regions. “Current thinking on ...” written by members of the JCI~>CI Editorial Advisory Board explores state-of-the-art topics related to curriculum inquiry. Illustrations, photography (e.g., Sebastião Salgado’s Workers in vol. 2), collage, student-generated art/artifacts, and full-color art enhance cutting-edge methodologies extending educational research through Aboriginal and Native oral traditions, arts-based analysis, found poetry, data poetry, narrative, and case study foci on liberatory pedagogy and social justice action research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A group of kids from hell come to Earth on one of the craziest nights of the year—Halloween—in this “entertaining, high-octane” (Kirkus Reviews) middle grade adventure about teamwork, friendship, shattering expectations, and understanding the world (or otherworld) around us. Malachi and his friends are just your regular average kids from hell. The suburbs that is, not the fiery pit part. But when Hell’s Bells ring out—signaling that a soul has escaped from one of the eternal circles, Mal and his friends can’t help but take the opportunity for a little adventure. Before they know it, they’ve somehow slipped through the veil and found themselves in the middle of Salem, Massachusetts, on Halloween night. And what’s even worse, they’ve managed to bring the escaped soul with them! As the essence of one of history’s greatest manipulators gains power by shifting the balance on Earth, Mal and his squad-mates—along with some new friends that they meet along the way—work desperately to trap the escapee, save the people of Earth from the forces of evil, and find the portal back to their own dimension. If they can’t manage it before their parents realize they’re gone, they’ll be grounded for an eternity. And an eternity in hell is a very, very long time.
Book Synopsis Within and Without Eternity by : Jules van Lieshout
Download or read book Within and Without Eternity written by Jules van Lieshout and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-05-20 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Blake's literary works are characterized by a ceaseless dynamics constituted in the fierce interactions of the language, thought, and narrative of his myth. Highlighting the critical problems facing the linear approach that the study of Blake has adopted from the traditional methodology of Newtonian science, Jules van Lieshout argues that nonlinearity is the key to understanding Blake's prophecies. Throughout his discussions, Van Lieshout focuses on the relation of Blake's Generation and Eternity, which he identifies as Bakhtinian 'world views'. In Generation, existence is finalized as a hierarchy of geometric 'dark globes', each assuming the character of universal whole to the exclusion of all others. Eternity, on the other hand, is Blake's fractal 'human form' of existence that is continuously organized and reorganized in the dynamic interaction of whole and parts. Blake represents these world views as interinvolved. Their dynamic interaction reflects and refracts his conceptual thought, mythological narrative, and poetic language. Hence, his visionary epic self-organizes into a self-similar complex system whose patterns of behaviour are not merely remarkably like those that modern applications of nonlinear dynamics are revealing in the physical world, but are indeed inherent in the processes of writing and reading his individual works.
Book Synopsis Nurture in Time and Eternity by : Robert Cummings Neville
Download or read book Nurture in Time and Eternity written by Robert Cummings Neville and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2016-07-04 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dimension of eternity has been lost from much contemporary religious consciousness. Liberals tend to focus on action within time, as do conservatives, who see history as a battleground for a war of good against evil. Spiritual life, however, also requires nurturing a sense of eternity within time. These sermons from Marsh Chapel at Boston University follow the lectionary in highlighting the places of temporal life within eternity, and the places eternity is found in temporal life. The liturgical year is employed as the venue for articulating a comprehensive theology on the themes of the temporal and eternal aspects of Christian nurture.
Book Synopsis Eternity Leave by : Simon Kettlewell

Book excerpt: ETERNITY LEAVE: A MUST READ FOR ANY PARENT... FOUR CHILDREN. ONE MAN. HOW HARD CAN IT BE?... Dear Chloe, Emma, Ruby, and Ollie, 'I am applying for the position you haven't advertised, has no specific job description and no hope of fiscal reward. I am applying because I have this misguided belief that it will look like it does on the cover photo of 'The Complete Guide to Childcare' where everyone appears relaxed and bright-eyed, not knackered, irascible or covered in snot. Armed with a pristine copy of 'The Complete Guide to Childcare', ambitions to be the next literary giant and live off the grid, what could possibly go wrong? 'Five minutes after Brigit's maternity leave ended I realised the magnitude of my error. I was now the sole carer for two six-month old children who thought the hands smearing yoghurt over their faces belonged to somebody else, and a two-year old who walked for five steps and decided it wasn't for her.' I crashed into a world of mainly strong, resourceful, resilient women, a mountain of nappies to rival Kilimanjaro and a widening gap where my self-esteem used to reside.' I am a man. I soon discovered this was not an excuse...' What the reviews are saying ... 'Refreshing and uplifting. Every parent should read this book.' 'Written with blistering honesty. It will make you laugh, cry, and most of all, appreciate the precious time spent with children.' 'A beautifully crafted story, filled with humour and moments of real poignancy.' 'An inspiring story of highs and lows. The portrayal of the challenges facing a modern family are insightful, enlightening and at times completely comedic- I loved it!'
Book Synopsis The Theology of Augustine's Confessions by : Paul Rigby
Download or read book The Theology of Augustine's Confessions written by Paul Rigby and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015-02-26 with total page 357 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study of the Confessions engages with contemporary philosophers and psychologists antagonistic to religion and demonstrates the enduring value of Augustine's journey for those struggling with theistic incredulity and religious narcissism. Paul Rigby draws on current Augustinian scholarship and the works of Paul Ricœur to cross-examine Augustine's testimony. This analysis reveals the sophistication of Augustine's confessional text, which anticipates the analytical mindset of his critics. Augustine presents a coherent, defensible response to three age-old problems: free will and grace; goodness, innocent suffering, and radical evil; and freedom and predestination. The Theology of Augustine's Confessions moves beyond commentary and allows present-day readers to understand the Confessions as its original readers experienced it, bridging the divide introduced by Kant, Hegel, Freud, Nietzsche, Heidegger, and their descendants.

Book Synopsis The Child as Musician by : Gary E. McPherson
Download or read book The Child as Musician written by Gary E. McPherson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-09-24 with total page 697 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new edition of The Child as Musician: A Handbook of Musical Development celebrates the richness and diversity of the many different ways in which children can engage in and interact with music. It presents theory - both cutting edge and classic - in an accessible way for readers by surveying research concerned with the development and acquisition of musical skills. The focus is on musical development from conception to late adolescences, although the bulk of the coverage concentrates on the period when children are able to begin formal music instruction (from around age 3) until the final year of formal schooling (around age 18). There are many conceptions of how musical development might take place, just as there are for other disciplines and areas of human potential. Consequently, the publication highlights the diversity in current literature dealing with how we think about and conceptualise children's musical development. Each of the authors has searched for a better and more effective way to explain in their own words and according to their own perspective, the remarkable ways in which children engage with music. In the field of educational psychology there are a number of publications that survey the issues surrounding child and adolescent development. Some of the more innovative present research and theories, and their educational implications, in a style that stresses the fundamental interplay among the biological, environmental, social and cultural influences at each stage of a child's development. Until now, no similar overview has existed for child and adolescent development in the field of music. The Child as Musician addresses this imbalance, and is essential for those in the fields of child development, music education, and music cognition.
