A Lemoncode Sceptic and Orange Answers

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Venter, Tertius Hj, PUBLISHER: Authorhouse, This book is based on the actual email communications between the writer and a sceptic who came across the author's website www.torquetalk.nl on the internet. He decided to write to the author to find out more about the author's convictions and motivation for his website and in particular whether the author had any hard evidence for what he believed to be true. He chose to stay anonymous throughout the communications that took place over a period of three to four weeks. Difficult, but very relevant questions were asked about the hard evidence for the existence of God. The text was kept as accurate and true to the original emails as possible. Changes that were made were mainly to make the text more readable. Where it was felt necessary, sentences, paragraphs or questions were changed to make them more understandable and clearer to the reader. The author has also expanded on some of the answers as he revised the text and felt that more complete explanations could be helpful. Due to the nature of the correspondence, the responses to some of questions or statements do not always follow immediately but a paragraph or two later. It was kept as such to stay as true to the original correspondence as possible.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Nathan, Linda F., PUBLISHER: Beacon Press (MA), The Boston Arts Academy comprises an ethnically and socioeconomically diverse student body, yet 94 percent of its graduates are accepted to college. Compare this with the average urban district rate of 50 percent. How do they do it? This remarkable success, writes Principal Linda Nathan, is in large part due to asking the right questions--questions all schools can consider, such as: - How and why does a school develop a shared vision of what it stands for? - What makes a great teacher, and how can a principal help good teachers improve? - Why must schools talk openly about race and achievement, and what happens when they do? With engaging honesty, Nathan gives readers a ring-side seat as faculty, parents, and the students themselves grapple with these questions, attempt to implement solutions, and evaluate the outcomes. Stories that are inspirational as well as heartbreaking reveal the missteps and failures--as well as the successes. Nathan doesn't claim to have all the answers, but seeks to share her insights on schools that matter, teachers who inspire, and students who achieve.
