Book Description
In this small volume, Mr. Stemberger offers his unique ideas and observations from a most unusual life. His ninety years of experiences found him living in two continents, under various governments, through war and peaceful times, and at many different levels of existence...from a penniless Italian refugee to a successful American CEO. The entries are brief, deeply thoughtful, often eloquent, or even humorous in their simplicity. He has great economy of words, distilling the thought into the most concise of statements, a pithiness that invites (challenges, begs) the reader to take the kernel of thought and consider (examine, ponder) it for himself. The writing style here is that of a collection of quotations. As such, each is intended not to preach or instruct but to awaken a concept, spark a new approach, encourage a deeper perception. As mentioned in the foreword, the author would dearly love to discuss each thought with his readers. Your time spent with this work will most certainly be like the opening of such a conversation.

Book Description
My story is built around how situations like this pandemic have derailed things that we spent years working on; just in a matter of a few weeks. I wrote this book to find a new perspective on all of the chaos happening around me. This book aims to make sense of the rapidly changing world around me, from my neighbourhood to the noisy streets of Wuhan, and all the way to the center of the blue-collar boom in Mexico. I was born in the 21st century so I can’t give you too many first-hand insights on the changes over the last fifty years. But I can say what I think has changed around the world, from the time I had the ability to understand things; to the present when I’m sitting in front of my laptop crafting the chapters ahead. With this book, I hope you gain a new perspective of what you see, especially in an awful period of time globally. There was something that kept me active during this lockdown; I had time to read books, debate economic policies and also play video games. The perspective I gained from all of them (including FIFA Career Mode) helped me stay afresh. This is the world how I see it. It might not relate to what the world actually is, it might not be how most of you see it. But again, this is just me, a 15 year-old, talking to you about what I think I see.

Book Description
A contemporary message to the church, which has fallen by the wayside. A relevant gospel to give power to the people of God to overcome the doctrines of death. A challenging word from God to the religious orders of today for our resurrection from the dead. A timely fiat of awakening for a dead world caught in mediocrity This book will appeal to everyday people who are sick and tired of facing a world of ever increasing hardship even in the midst of efforts to hide from the obvious collapse of systems and hopes of the dreams they seek. This book even though it uses many christian terms will fit every human soul and it teaches basic principles of mind and how to create what you do truly want to experience rather than what you experience now through ignorance of spiritual laws. Above all remember you are loved, loving and lovable. I hope you buy it and read it and tell everyone about it. Author Grant Andrew Barlow

Book Description
Many people, whether educators or not, will agree that an education that does not inspire wonder is barren. Wonder is commonly perceived as akin to curiosity, as stimulating inquiry, and as something that enhances pleasure in learning, but there are many experiences of wonder that do not have an obvious place in education. In Wonder and Education, Anders Schinkel theorises a kind of wonder with less obvious yet fundamental educational importance which he calls 'contemplative wonder'. Contemplative wonder disrupts frameworks of understanding that are taken for granted and perceived as natural and draws our attention to the world behind our constructions, sparking our interest in the world as something worth attending to for its own sake rather than for our purposes. It opens up space for the consideration of (radical) alternatives wherever it occurs, and in many cases is linked with deep experiences of value; therefore, it is not just important for education in general, but also, more specifically, for moral and political education.

Book Description
This collection bundles two of popular author Chuck Colson’s classics into one volume for a great value! The Good Life What constitutes “the good life?” Chuck Colson explores the ways in which people define and live “the pursuit of happiness.” Colson uses fascinating real-life stories to illustrate the philosophies and worldviews by which individuals seek the good life. Colson speaks directly and revealingly about his Watergate years, and he examines the beliefs and assumptions that make up the fabric of our lives. The Good Life searches for answers to the questions we all ask: Who am I? Why am I here? How can I make my life count? How Now Shall We Live? True Christianity goes far beyond John 3:16—beyond private faith and personal salvation. It is nothing less than a framework for understanding all of reality. It is a worldview. In How Now Shall We Live?, the 2000 Gold Medallion winner for best book about Christianity and society, Chuck Colson and Nancy Pearcey show that the great spiritual battle today is a cosmic struggle between competing worldviews. Through inspiring true stories and compelling teaching, they demonstrate how to Expose the false views and values of modern culture Live a more fulfilling life the way God created us to live Contend for the faith by understanding how nonbelievers think Build a society that reflects biblical principles In short, How Now Shall We Live? will give you the confidence you need to make a difference in the world today and most of all in the lives of people around you.

Book Description
This carefully edited collection has been designed and formatted to the highest digital standards and adjusted for readability on all devices. Experience the American feminism in its core. Learn about the decades long fight, about the endurance and the strength needed to continue the battle against persistent indifference and injustice. Go back in time and get to know the founders and the followers, the characters of all the strong women involved in the movement. Find out what was the spark which started it all and kept the flame going. Learn about the organization, witness the backdoor conversations and discussions, read their personal correspondence, speeches and planned tactics. Learn about the relationship between great activists and what caused the fraction. This six volumes edition covers the women's suffrage movement from 1848 to 1922. Originally envisioned as a modest publication that would take only four months to write, it evolved into a work of more than 5700 pages written over a period of 41 years and was completed in 1922, long after the deaths of its visionary authors and editors, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony. However, realizing that the project was unlikely to make a profit, Anthony had already bought the rights from the other authors. As a sole owner, she published the books herself and donated many copies to libraries and people of influence. Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902) was an American suffragist, social activist, abolitionist, and leading figure of the early women's rights movement. Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906) was an American suffragist, social reformer and women's rights activist. Harriot Stanton Blatch (1856-1940) was a suffragist and daughter of Elizabeth Stanton. Matilda Gage (1826–1898) was a suffragist, a Native American rights activist and an abolitionist. Ida H. Harper (1851–1931) was a prominent figure in the United States women's suffrage movement and biographer of Susan B. Anthony.

Book Description
A psychological exploration of how the love of nature can coexist in our psyches with apathy toward environmental destruction. Virtually everyone values some aspect of the natural world. Yet many people are surprisingly unconcerned about environmental issues, treating them as the province of special interest groups. Seeking to understand how our appreciation for the beauty of nature and our indifference to its destruction can coexist in us, Shierry Weber Nicholsen explores dimensions of our emotional experience with the natural world that are so deep and painful that they often remain unspoken. The Love of Nature and the End of the World is a gathering of meditations and collages. Its evocations of our emotional attachment to the natural world and the emotional impact of environmental deterioration are meant to encourage individual and collective reflection on a difficult dilemma. Nicholsen draws on work in environmental philosophy and ecopsychology; the writings of psychoanalytic thinkers such as Wilfred Bion, Donald Meltzer, and D. W. Winnicott; and ideas from Buddhist and Sufi traditions. She shows how our emotional responses to the vulnerabilities of the natural world range from intense caring and compassion, through grief and outrage, to diffuse depression. Individual chapters focus on silence and the process whereby we move from the unspoken to the spoken, the love of nature, the "perceptual reciprocity" with the natural world to which we might mature, beauty in the human and natural realms, the psychological impact of the destruction of the natural world, and reflections on the future.
