Dawn of Discovery by Douglas C. Myers, PhD Pdf

Dawn's colorful first light is a testament to new beginnings and perpetual renewal. It is a rousing panorama that beckons to all who treasure hope and its fulfillment. Each sunrise is a pleasant reminder of inspiration's influence on the human spirit when love makes its appearance. Everyone has the inherent right to feel loved unconditionally and be able to love fully. However, not all are able to sip from desire's cup filled with contentment. For many, the obscurity of night is extended without knowing of the dawn's resurrecting influence. Love relies on spirited recovery during the course of an endless journey. Each new dawn faithfully restores hope for the realization of purposeful possibilities during the day that follows. It is an awakening to the restoration of light. The certainty of dawn's repeated triumph over darkness exemplifies love's faithful and trustworthy nature. If sincere affection is a measure of feeling fulfilled, then what is love and how is it realized? Why is heartfelt love difficult to experience or maintain for many? What does it mean to 'fall in love'? What is fear's influence when seeking love's affirmation? These are some of the challenges in comprehending the mystery of love and its reward presented in this writing. The written text identifies what is necessary to feel loved as a child and to love fully as an adult. Requirements for experiencing the fullest extent of love are chronicled in the section 'Requisites Of Love', while also emphasized throughout the narrative presentation. Numerous quoted words and verse by popular persons of accomplishment enhance a seamless narrative progression. Original poems of the author throughout are dedicated to all who cherish the imaginative and sensitive emotion elicited through poetic expression. Each subchapter listing of love's requisites includes such a beginning. The concluding chapter titled 'Exploration and Reward' ends with a novel revelation of adventure and passion. Included in 'Answering Love's Call' is a final poem of desire's accomplishment by the author titled 'Awakening'. (Screen Reader Supported with Enhanced Typesetting) Recommended: This book will challenge you to evaluate and confront your courage on several levels. It will also expose your relationship with fear even if you didn't think you had one. Myers writes about feelings which is desperately needed and rarely understood. Overall, the book gives hope. Hope for our personal journey as well as a parent and partner. It allows us to get unstuck in parenting. This is a writing that 'stays with you', It leaves a mark on your soul. How do I know this? I find myself reflecting on Myers' thoughts and gaining strength to face the future. - Judy Wilde, M.A., Clinical Psychology I recommend this reading to anyone frustrated by fear's influence while desiring heartfelt pleasure in loving. - Lester L Carney, MA, Educator and Counseling Psychologist

Dawn of Discovery by Dudley Moore Pdf

This book focuses on three important British travellers to Crete during the 18th and 19th centuries to establish whether or not they made any significant contribution to the field of research with regard to the archaeological heritage of Bronze Age Crete. It is an attempt to bring these ‘lost pioneers’ of antiquity to the fore and to recognize their efforts as part of the foundation of the discovery of the island’s Bronze Age archaeology prior to the ground-breaking excavations of Sir Arthur Evans. The three travellers examined here are Richard Pococke (1704–65), Robert Pashley (1805–59) and Thomas Spratt (1811–88). Having dealt with the terms that these travellers used in describing ancient remains, the book looks briefly at the background to Bronze Age Crete itself. Thereafter the development from antiquarianism into archaeology is followed to establish the motives behind these travellers’ wanderings in Crete. This also involves a discussion of other British travellers to Crete and problems they may have encountered with an island in the throes of Ottoman turbulence. Using their published journals, the author has followed the footsteps of Pococke, Pashley and Spratt to see what they may have discovered, and compared their written accounts with what is physically there today. The results are most intriguing.

Dawn of the Dead by Jon Towlson Pdf

George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead (1978) is celebrated both as a ‘splatter’ movie and as a satire of 1970s consumerism. One of the most financially successful independent films ever produced, Dawn of the Dead presented a strong vision to audiences of the time in terms of its excessive, often shocking violence. It challenged censorship internationally and caused controversy in the United States and the UK. The film created problems with distributors because of its length and its graphic content; with the MPAA who awarded it an ‘X’ in America (a rating usually reserved for pornography); with the BBFC in the UK who completely recut it; and in various European territories where it was released in several versions. Arguably, excess is at the heart of Dawn of the Dead, integral to its meaning: not only in its scenes of gore, its in-your-face social satire and its gaudy pop-kitsch style but in the production history of the film itself. This Devil’s Advocate explores the various ways in which Romero took Dawn of the Dead into areas of extremity during its scripting, production and distribution; and the responses of industry, censorship bodies, reviewers and audiences of the time to the film’s excesses. Taking the approach of a micro-historical study, Jon Towlson offers a close analysis of the film’s production context to explore the cultural significance of Dawn of the Dead as a ‘rebel text’ and an example of oppositional cinema.

Treasures, Shipwrecks and the Dawn of Red Sea Diving by Howard Rosenstein Pdf

A beautiful hardback book illustrated throughout by 200 original images by the author and others including renowned underwater photographer David Doubilet. Howard Rosenstein wasn’t just opening the first dive school in Sharm El-Sheikh; he was cracking open a hidden world in Sinai. This true story dives headfirst into those ground-breaking times, where celebrated guests, uncharted dives and historical discoveries became the extraordinary routine. It’s a tale of grit, where resourcefulness and connections fuelled Howard’s pioneering spirit. From Roman coins glinting on the seabed to the dark, unmapped depths, his dives unveiled sunken treasures and secrets of the past. But these weren’t just underwater adventures — they were tightrope walks between nations still at war. He braved floods, assisted grounded ships, and even the depths of Mount Sinai itself. Howard’s journey wasn’t a solitary one. He rubbed shoulders with underwater legends, bestselling authors, true photography greats, and even world leaders. He navigated murky shipwrecks, charmed amorous sharks, and found himself a player in the delicate dance of peace negotiations. Through his dive centers, first in the Mediterranean and then exploding onto the Sinai scene, Howard became a pioneer of recreational diving. He shared the magic of the underwater world with a generation, igniting a passion that would forever burn, his only desire that it would never end. But peace, like the tide, comes with a change. Dive deep into the extraordinary story of the entrepreneur who pioneered Red Sea dive tourism with a cast of unforgettable characters. How a dive school in a train carriage at the edge of the desert became a global destination. A journey of success and purpose. Reviews: ‘A rollicking fun tale… Scuba divers worldwide are indebted to them’– Kathy Sullivan, history-making astronaut and oceanographer. ‘Once in a great while a book comes along that combines masterful storytelling, riveting adventure, charismatic characters, and meaningful messages that will continue to haunt you long after the last page is turned. For me, Treasures, Shipwrecks and the Dawn of Red Sea Diving is that book… I urge readers to dive into this book for vicarious adventure, for insight into a life well lived, for reasons why you, too, should succumb to the urge to submerge, and for unbelievable stories that are most wonderful because they are true’– Sylvia Earle, Oceanographer, Founder of Mission Blue (from the Foreword). ‘A fascinating story. Howard’s diving life took him from ancient history, to being among the first to see sharks mate in the wild, to world politics as his pioneering efforts helped make the wonders of the Red Sea available to divers from around the world.’– Marty Snyderman, underwater photographer, author and photojournalist. ‘A fascinating story that, if it was not the real-life of Howard Rosenstein, it would make a first-class adventure novel.’– Dan Orr, Diving Industry Consultant. ‘A captivating voyage through the exotic wonders of the Middle East, above in the Sinai desert and beneath the cobalt blue waters of the fabled Red Sea. His ability to traverse cultures and disciplines while remaining true to his vision is inspiring. This book records one man’s adventures pioneering scuba diving during high politics in the Middle East and is a testament to the transformative power of curiosity, determination, love for the ocean and the desert, and respect for the world around us. I urge you to pick up a copy and embark on this thrilling journey’– Amos Nachoum, award wining nature photographer and diving travel pioneer, BigAnimals.com ‘Howard Rosenstein had a dream that he made a reality – he built, and they came.’– David Doubilet (from the Foreword).

Cultures of Computer Game Concerns by Estrid Sörensen Pdf

The same computer games are played by youths all over the world, and worldwide games become matters of concern in relation to children: worries rise about addiction, violence, education, time, and economy. Yet, these concerns vary depending upon where they are situated: in families, legal contexts, industry or science. They also play out differently across countries and cultures. This situated nature of computer game concerns is generally neglected. Not in this book: It gives a detailed mosaic of the complex and multiple everyday realities of computer game concerns in relation to children, as they are variably situated throughout society and across cultures.

Teaching Science by Ralph Levinson Pdf

Science education has undergone far-reaching changes in the last fifty years. The articles collected together in this reader examine how we have reached our present consensus and what theories we now use to explain how children learn science. The central sections of the reader examine how all this can be translated into effective and stimulating teaching, how learning can be most accurately and fairly assessed and how the impact of gender, ethnicity and other factors on children's performance can be addressed in methods of teaching which make science accessible to all. The articles in the final section of the book are a reminder that the debate is not finished yet and raise some challenging questions about what science education is and what it is for.

Comparative Theories of Nonduality by Milton Scarborough Pdf

It is a commonplace that while Asia is nondualistic, the West, because of its uncritical reliance on Greek-derived intellectual standards, is dualistic. Dualism is a deep-seated habit of thinking and acting in all spheres of life through the prism of binary opposites leads to paralyzing practical and theoretical difficulties. Asia can provide no assistance for the foreseeable future because the West finds Asian nondualism, especially that of Mahayana Buddhism, too alien and nihilistic. On the other hand, postmodern thought, which purports to deliver us from the dualisms embedded in modernity, turns out to be merely a pseudo-postmodernism. This book's novel idea is that the West already contains within one of its more marginalized roots, that of ancient Hebrew culture, a pre-philosophical form of nondualism which makes possible a new form of nondualism, one to which the West can subscribe. This new nondualism, inspired by Buddhism but not identical to it, is an epistemological, ontological, metaphysical, and praxical middle way both for the West and also between East and West.

Gaming the Past by Jeremiah McCall Pdf

Despite the growing number of books designed to radically reconsider the educational value of video games as powerful learning tools, there are very few practical guidelines conveniently available for prospective history and social studies teachers who actually want to use these teaching and learning tools in their classes.

The book ends with brief profiles of the majority of historical simulation games currently available from commercial vendors and freely on the Internet.
