No Gods Before Me: The First of the Commandment Mysteries
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Andrews, Gary, PUBLISHER: iUniverse, Three old friends seek to address a crisis of faith by attending an interfaith conference of the world's three great monotheistic religions. Among leading Christians, Muslims and Jews, they find meaning, romance and violence on a biblical scale. An engaging religious polemic wrapped in the familiar mantel of a murder mystery, "No Gods Before Me: The First of the Commandment Mysteries," is imbued with the most relevant Biblical and Quranic verses, revealing the scriptural roots of the current world conflict. Respectfully and intelligently representing the views of humanists and religious believers alike, this book explores answers to questions like: what do the astrological disciplines teach about past and future history; what does God expect; what does the Bible teach on evolution and abortion; who was Jesus and what really happened on Golgotha; what do Jews await in the Messianic age; what does the Quran teach on jihad and on women's rights; what is the emotional root of the dispute between Christianity, Judaism and Islam. A must read for all those secure in their beliefs
The End of Days: Armageddon and Prophecies of the Return
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sitchin, Zecharia, PUBLISHER: Harper, Why is it that our current twenty-first century A.D. is so similar to the twenty-first century B.C.? Is history destined to repeat itself? Will biblical prophecies come true, and if so, when? It has been more than three decades since Zecharia Sitchin's trailblazing book "The 12th Planet" brought to life the Sumerian civilization and its record of the Anunnaki--the extraterrestrials who fashioned man and gave mankind civilization and religion. In this new volume, Sitchin shows that the End is anchored in the events of the Beginning, and once you learn of this Beginning, it is possible to foretell the Future. In "The End of Days," a masterwork that required thirty years of additional research, Sitchin presents compelling new evidence that the Past is the Future--that mankind and its planet Earth are subject to a predetermined cyclical Celestial Time. In an age when religious fanaticism and a clash of civilizations raise the specter of a nuclear Armageddon, Zecharia Sitchin shatters perceptions and uses history to reveal what is to come at "The End of Days."

Social Learning Theory and the Explanation of Crime
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Akers, Ronald L. / Jensen, Gary F., PUBLISHER: Transaction Publishers, Social learning theory has been called the dominant theory of crime and delinquency in the United States, yet it is often misrepresented. This latest volume in the distinguished Advances in Criminological Theory series explores the impact of this theory. Some equate it with differential association theory. Others depict it as little more than a micro-level appendage to cultural deviance theories. There have been earlier attempts to clarify the theory's unique features in comparison to other theories, and others have applied it to broader issues. These efforts are extended in this volume, which focuses on developing, applying, and testing the theory on a variety of criminal and delinquent behavior. It applies the theory to treatment and prevention, moving social learning into a global context for the twenty-first century. This comprehensive volume includes the latest work, tests, and theoretical advances in social learning theory and will be particularly helpful to criminologists, sociologists, and psychologists. It may also be of interest to those concerned with current issues relating to delinquency, drug use/abuse, and drinking/alcohol abuse.

Living with Fire: Fire Ecology and Policy for the
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Jensen, Sara E. / McPherson, Guy R., PUBLISHER: University of California Press, Fire, both inevitable and ubiquitous, plays a crucial role in North American ecosystems. But as necessary as fire is to maintaining healthy ecosystems, it threatens human lives and livelihoods in unacceptable ways. This volume explores the rich yet largely uncharted terrain at the intersection of fire policy, fire science, and fire management in order to find better ways of addressing this pressing dilemma. Written in clear language, it will help scientists, policy makers, and the general public, especially residents of fire-prone areas, better understand where we are today in regard to coping with wildfires, how we got here, and where we need to go. Drawing on abundant historical and analytic information to shed new light on current controversies, "Living with Fire "offers a dynamic new paradigm for coping with fire that recognizes its critical environmental role. The book also tells how we can rebuild the important ecological and political processes that are necessary for finding better ways to cope with fire and with other complex policy dilemmas.

Classe efficienza energetica: A+, Consumo energetico annuo: 405 kWh - TECNOLOGIA DOOR IN DOOR™ - 10 ANNI DI GARANZIA SUL MOTORE COMPRESSORE LINEARE INVERTER LG - TOTAL NO FROST LG - SISTEMA PURE N' FRESH - CASSETTO SALVAFRESCHEZZA - SMART DIAGNOSIS DOOR IN DOOR™ L'esclusivo Home Bar di LG, costituito da una porta aggiuntiva nel frigorifero, trasforma il frigorifero 4 porte di LG in un vero e proprio 5 porte. Una tecnologia unica che impreziosisce il design del frigorifero e riduce lo scambio di aria calda con l'ambiente esterno riducendo fino al 46% i consumi energetici nell'uso quotidiano. La controporta è inoltre super funzionale: con un semplice ''click'' si potrà accedere agli alimenti di uso comune senza dover aprire l'interna porta del frigorifero. 10 ANNI DI GARANZIA SUL COMPRESSORE LINEARE INVERTER LG I frigoriferi LG sono gli unici con COMPRESSORE LINEARE GARANTITO 10 ANNI. Il COMPRESSORE LINEARE, brevetto LG, garantisce la massima affidabilità grazie alla sua struttura innovativa, unica nel mercato. I compressori tradizionali inverter hanno quattro componenti meccaniche (motore, albero motore, biella, pistone), mentre l'innovativo Compressore Lineare Inverter ne ha solo 2 (motore, pistone). Ed è proprio l’assenza di componenti meccaniche tra motore e pistone che determina minori possibilità di rottura rispetto ai compressori tradizionali. Garantito 10 anni. TOTAL NO FROST LG Grazie alla tecnologia Total No Frost LG la temperatura all'interno del frigorifero è uniforme per consentire una migliore e più lunga conservazione degli alimenti. Il Total No Frost LG, inoltre, garantisce una maggiore freschezza del cibo perchè permette di raggiungere la temperatura impostata molto più velocemente rispetto ad un frigorifero tradizionale e di mantenerla in modo costante, con risultati certificati dal prestigioso Laboratorio tedesco SLG. Inoltre nei frogoriferi LG Total No Frost LG non si forma la brina, quindi non è necessario sbrinare il frigo. SISTEMA PURE N'FRESH Pure N'Fresh è un innovativo sistema di purificazione dell’aria all’interno del frigorifero. La ventola attira l’aria, la deodora e la restituisce purificata all’interno del frigorifero. Ideale per neutralizzare la formazione di cattivi odori. CASSETTO SALVAFRESCHEZZA Lo speciale cassetto, dotato dell’innovativa griglia Salvafreschezza, brevetto LG, mantiene la naturale umidità di frutta e verdura, garantendone una migliore e più lunga conservazione. La speciale griglia Salvafreschezza è studiata per catturare e trattenere l'umidità di frutta e verdura rilasciandola gradualmente per mantenere sempre il livello ottimale di umidità all'interno del cassetto. In questo modo frutta e verdura si conservano più fresche più a lungo. SMART DIAGNOSIS™ I nuovi Frigoriferi Side-By-Side LG assicurano massima affidabilità, ed in caso di inconvenienti nel funzionamento, ti aiutano a risolverli comunicando direttamente con il call center LG. Grazie a Smart Diagnosis ti basterà chiamare il numero dell'assistenza clienti LG con un telefono con toni DTMF e quando l'operatore lo richiede eseguire delle semplici istruzioni per permettere al frigorifero di comunicare la propria diagnosi direttamente al Call Center. BLOCCO TASTI La speciale funzione blocco tasti, facilmente selezionabile dal display, previene la possibilità di variazioni accidentali delle impostazioni del frigorifero. Questa funzione è particolarmente utile ed indicata se in casa ci sono dei bambini. PIÙ SILENZIO L'innovativo Compressore Lineare Inverter, brevetto esclusivo LG, è più silenzioso grazie al suo movimento lineare che riduce gli attriti. I compressori tradizionali inverter, infatti, hanno 4 punti d'attrito, mentre l'innovativo Compressore Lineare Inverter LG ne ha solo 1: meno punti d'attrito determinano una maggiore silenziosità durante il normale funzionamento del frigorifero. Inoltre, essendo un motore inverter non ha i fastidiosi picchi di rumore generati dalle fasi di start e stop del frigorifero perchè lavora in modo continuativo adattando la potenza di raffreddamento alle reali esigenze. GUARNIZIONI ANTIBATTERICHE BIOSHIELD Le speciali guarnizioni con materiale anti-batterico Bioshield, brevetto LG, impediscono la formazione di muffe e batteri garantendo più igiene e sicurezza per gli alimenti. L'innovativo materiale antibatterico Bioshield, inoltre, garantisce una maggiore durata nel tempo delle guarnizioni e di conseguenza anche della classe energetica: infatti quando le guarnizioni si rovinano non svolgono più correttamente la funzione di isolamento e generano una dispersione del freddo e di conseguenza maggiori consumi energetici. DESIGN Design ricercato che si adatta perfettamente a tutti gli ambienti grazie all’esclusiva finitura Inox Graphite. ILLUMINAZIONE LED L’illuminazione LED permette la massima visibilità in ogni zona del frigorifero anche quando è completamente pieno, oltre ad un bassissimo consumo energetico. La luce fredda dei LED, infatti, garantisce una luminosità fino a 4 volte superiore alle lampadine tradizionali ed il freddo è garantito perchè non scalda. L'illuminazione LED, inoltre, è 20 volte più efficiente e dura fino a 3 volte di più rispetto alle vecchie lampadine.

Educational Leadership at : Conjectures, Challenges, and
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: English, Fenwick W. / Papa, Rosemary / Mullen, Carol A., PUBLISHER: R&l Education, This is a practical, bold, no-holds barred look at challenges facing educational leaders and the university programs that prepare them through mid-century. It examines key continuities and discontinuities of current times for school, education, and society. Both practice and preparation occur in contested social space, the implications of which are explored in a post industrial, digital age.The stark warning signs of the conflict roiling educational leadership includes the re-segregation and marketization of the public schools; the demonization of teacher unions; attempts to de-professionalize professional preparation; the continuing achievement gap which ignores larger social inequalities; the debasement of education degrees by online diploma mills; the escalating culture of numbers and cheating scandals; and the erosion of full-time, seasoned faculty providing leadership to university preparation programs. The promise of social justice leadership anchored in a fast-changing demographic portrait of increasing national diversity is encapsulated in the construct of leadership accoutrement's which awakens the art and science of leadership.. Finally, the authors propose the pedagogically centered leadership for creating a functional bridge between leadership and learning in preparation and practice.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Robinson, Mary / Crahan, M. / Crahan, Margaret E., PUBLISHER: Routledge, 'If I had the power to do so, I would make this book compulsory reading for all who exercise political power in our world today Instead, I will keep my fingers crossed that it will be read by as many members of Congress and of the current US administration as possible, and by a wide cross-section of policy analysts, diplomats, academics and human rights defenders.' - Mary Robinson, Former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Wars on Terrorism and Iraq provides a timely and critical analysis of the impact of the wars on terrorism and Iraq on human rights particularly internationally, as well as related tensions between unilateralism and multilateralism in US foreign policy.

Sea Sick: The Global Ocean in Crisis
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mitchell, Alanna, PUBLISHER: Emblem Editions, All life -- whether on land or in the sea -- depends on the oceans for two things: - Oxygen. Most of Earth's oxygen is produced by phytoplankton in the sea. These humble, one-celled organisms, rather than the spectacular rain forests, are the true lungs of the planet. - Climate control. Our climate is regulated by the ocean's currents, winds, and water-cycle activity. Sea Sick is the first book to examine the current state of the world's oceans -- the great unexamined ecological crisis of the planet -- and the fact that we are altering everything about them; temperature, salinity, acidity, ice cover, volume, circulation, and, of course, the life within them. Alanna Mitchell joins the crews of leading scientists in nine of the global ocean's hotspots to see firsthand what is really happening around the world. Whether it's the impact of coral reef bleaching, the puzzle of the oxygen-less dead zones such as the one in the Gulf of Mexico, or the shocking implications of the changing Ph balance of the sea, Mitchell explains the science behind the story to create an engaging, accessible yet authoritative account.

Late Winter
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brown, Bill, PUBLISHER: Iris Press, The idea of home, the magic of story, and the healing power of nature inform the poems in Late Winter. Yet, Bill Brown understands that loss and grief, breaking and mending deepen the human experience. "Taking joy, isn't easy," Brown writes, "as if you could ignore lost faces in city streets, or playgrounds littered with broken glass." These poems often mine the darkness of loss, war and our culture's constant barrage of status and style. Even so, in "Dream Letter Lullaby" Brown asks us to "be as hopeful as the hands of children sleeping." His world gives us the right to reclaim our innocence. He knows what every child knows- "A closed heart can't greet a winter sky. Even a rain puddle is filled with it, and a horse trough, and the slow current of creeks." Late Winter opens with a search for home. By the book's end, Brown believes that, with the power of memory and love, home can be born like a covenant in each of us, and that "Some ancient hope, like winter light, is allied with the gravity of stars."

The Edutainer: Connecting the Art and Science of Teaching
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Johnson, Brad, Jr. / McElroy, Tammy Maxson, PUBLISHER: R&l Education, The Edutainer describes an educational approach that provides teachers with core operational and interpersonal skills to be an effective educator in the twenty-first century. These skills include communication, organization, management, planning, and building authentic relationships based upon respect and personal responsibility. The Edutainer is unique in its perspective that the educator should be fluid and adapting to our current culture, while employing sound academic principles. The edutainer concept is derived from the principles that we believe make for an effective educator and entertainer. First edutainers are visionaries, who understand that a change in culture requires a change in methods and presentation. These edutainers make their material relevant to present culture. Preparation is also vital to these performers. They organize and plan their material long before they get on stage or their performance would fail. Finally, the effective educator and entertainer have to deliver a stellar performance that is relatable to the audience. The Edutainer offers strategies and ideas to build and nurture authentic relationships with students, parents, and colleagues to build a dynamic educational community.
The Bodily Nature of Consciousness: Sartre and Contemporary
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Wider, Kathleen V., PUBLISHER: Cornell University Press, In this work, Kathleen V. Wider discusses Jean-Paul Sartre's analysis of consciousness in Being and Nothingness in light of recent work by analytic philosophers, psychologists, and neuroscientists. She brings together phenomenological and scientific understandings of the nature of consciousness and argues that the two approaches can strengthen and suppport each other. Work on consciousness from two very different philosophical traditions -- the continental and analytic -- contributes to her explanation of the deep-seated intuition that all consciousness is self-consciousness. Belief in the reflexivity of consciousness, which reaches back at least as far as Rene Descartes, has come under increasing attack. Those who would undermine it cite recent and ongoing findings of experimental psychologists and neuroscientists. Wider argues that the philosophical debate tends to proceed with little awareness of the extensive study of consciousness undertaken by continental philosophers during the first half of this century. With her clear explanations of both the Sartrean and contemporary Anglo-American contributions, Wider provides an invaluable map for scholars on both sides, and demonstrates how phenomenology and science both enhance current understanding and explanation of the nature of consciousness.
