The Knights of the Elements: The Warriorâs Path

By: J.P. Hilliard

Patrick O'Riely Quinn lives in the small town of Crisalle where he excels in school, spends time with friends, and keeps careful watch over his mom. War is not only a way of life for Patrick's family but a part of their very souls. From a very young age, he was raised to fight and be a leader of soldiers, and he now teeters on the edge of manhood. The family motto is "Duty, Honor, and Country," and Patrick believes in these three virtues wholeheartedly. When he is of age, he is drafted into the army, along with his two best friends, Colin and Tara. On the winding path to war, Patrick and his fellow soldiers meet captivating characters but also creatures that chill the blood. The young man realizes this battle is so much more than weaponry; war is deceit and politics, and Patrick approaches these hurdles with naïve hesitance. Will he become the destined Knight of Light, or will he be killed by one of those he trusts most?

Honeysuckle

By: JP Bee

People should ask the question of why. As children, they use their imagination and can become anything thing they want until they are told they can’t. They can conform to the thinking of the masses or they can dare explore a different reality that is not accepted by most. This book is that journey,” JP Bee states. In “Honeysuckle” (published by Xlibris), she tells a story about Augusta, a girl exploring a different reality. The loss of early-childhood memories sparks and restarts a journey that opens the doors to hidden secrets along with passions, wisdom and adventures, including astral projection, the ah-ha sense of the moment of time, spiritual activity, gifts and the prompting of subjects, regeneration and recreation of time. “This is a unique and creative story that is meant to be entertaining; it might help people answer many questions about what if?” the author says. “Dealing with the pain of losing someone or facing one's own death can be eased. They can find a reason why things are the way they are and can stop dwelling on why this happened to them, why they have to feel pain, and what is their possible purpose in life.” When asked what she wants readers to take away from her writing of the book, the author replies, “Anything is possible, even knowing more about the taboo world of the paranormal, the ghost that haunts you, and the supernatural power we all have inside us but have over eons of time forgotten. You just have to be willing to pay the price for this knowledge living and thinking outside the box. Everything you ever wanted to know, everywhere you ever wanted to go and every person that enters and passes through your life is placed there for you or by you to experience and learn from. All you need to do is open your eyes, your heart, and your mind to other truths and possibilities.”

Operational Oceanography

The Challenge for European Co-operation

By: H.W.A. Behrens,J.C. Borst,J.P. van der Meulen,L.J. Droppert,J.H. Stel

GOOS is an international programme for a permanent global framework of observations, modelling and analysis of ocean variables which are needed to support operational services around the world. The EuroGOOS strategy has two streams: the first is to improve the quality of marine information in European home waters, and the second is to collaborate with similar organisations in other continents to create a new global ocean observing and modelling system that will provide the open ocean forecasts needed to achieve the best possible performance by local marine information services everywhere. The EuroGOOS strategy envisages our national agencies making a major contribution to that challenging task of globalizing ocean forecasting. The conference also provided an opportunity to take stock of the state of marine science and technology in Europe relevant to the EuroGOOS strategy, and the state of information services and customer needs.

The Substance of Consciousness

A Comprehensive Defense of Contemporary Substance Dualism

By: Brandon Rickabaugh,J. P. Moreland

A singularly powerful and rigorous argument in favor of modern substance dualism In The Substance of Consciousness: A Comprehensive Defense of Contemporary Substance Dualism, two distinguished philosophers deliver a unique and powerful defense of contemporary substance dualism, which makes the claim that the human person is an embodied fundamental, immaterial, and unifying substance. Multidisciplinary in scope, the book explores areas of philosophy, cognitive science, neuroscience, and the sociology of mind-body beliefs. The authors present the most comprehensive, up-to-date, and rigorous non-edited work on substance dualism in the field, as well as a detailed history of how property and substance dualism have been presented and evaluated over the last 150 years. Alongside developing new and updated positive arguments for substance dualism, they also discuss key metaphysical notions and distinctions that inform the examination of substance dualism and its alternatives. Readers will also find: A thorough examination of the recent shift away from standard physicalism and the renaissance of substance dualism Comprehensive explorations of the likely future of substance dualism in the twenty-first century, including an exhaustive list of proposed research projects for substance dualists Practical discussion of new and rigorous critiques of significant physicality alternatives, including emergentism and panpsychism. Extensive treatments of philosophy of mind debates about the roles played by staunch/faint-hearted naturalism and theism in establishing or presuming methodology, epistemic priorities, and prior metaphysical commitments Perfect for professional philosophers, The Substance of Consciousness will also earn a place in the libraries of consciousness researchers, philosophical theologians, and religious studies scholars.

A Study of the Logbara (Ma'di) Language

Grammar and Vocabulary

By: J. P. Crazzolara

In the mid 20th century the people known as the Logbara were a diverse collection of groups fleeing from different parts and having different socail and political affiliations - essentially refugees in search of a new home. At the time that this book was originally published in 1960, existing conditions, resulting from the past history of Logbara, made it difficult to decide which dialect fo the language to choose for this analysis. The grammar as a whole in its features, details and rules is common to all parts of the country but the author chose the dialect spoken around Arua, the district headquarters of the West Nile as a baiss for the grammar and vocabulary, mainly out of considerations of practicability.

The Athletic Skills Model

Optimizing Talent Development Through Movement Education

By: René Wormhoudt,Geert J.P. Savelsbergh,Jan Willem Teunissen,Keith Davids

The Athletic Skills Model offers an alternative to dominant talent development theories in the form of holistic broad-based movement education, focusing on health and wellbeing. It places the emphasis on ‘physical intelligence’ – including attributes such as agility, flexibility and stability – through adaptable and varied training programmes, creating a skilled athlete before introducing sport specialization. The book sets out the scientific underpinnings of the ASM before going on to offer practical guidance on the content of the programme, how to adapt and vary the programme, and how to apply the approach to different age groups and sports. The ASM’s application in the youth development programme at AFC Ajax is explored in depth, before a future of talent development with an emphasis on athletic, rather than sport-specific, expertise is imagined. The Athletic Skills Model introduces an important and timely challenge to conventional wisdom in talent development and is a fascinating read for any upper-level student or researcher interested in youth development, skill acquisition, motor learning or sports coaching, and any coaches wanting to refresh their approach to talent development.

Saving the North Coast Redwoods

By: Susan J.P. O'Hara

The battle to preserve a natural wonder.Towering and majestic, the redwood forests of California's North Coast once drew not visitors, but fortune-seeking timber companies. By 1917, the region had been logged for nearly 70 years and concerns arose that the rapidly disappearing redwoods could be lost. Damage wrought by logging and road construction caught the attention of Madison Grant, John Campbell Merriam, and Henry Fairfield Osborn and the Save the Redwoods League was born. Together with the State of California and the U.S. Federal Government, the League's efforts led to the protection of the remaining old growth redwoods, creating state and national parks to preserve them for future generations.Author Susan J.P. O'Hara recounts the story of the fight to save the world's tallest trees.

Road to Fargo 2nd edition

By: J P Ronan

The old west was a collection of large territories that spread from the Missouri River west to the Pacific Ocean, north to Canada, and south to Mexico. The only civil law enforcement personnel permitted to cross these boundaries was the U. S. Federal Marshall. The more successful marshal’s ranged over the wider regions of jurisdiction. Following the worst of the outlaws to greater lengths became the hallmark of the best marshals of the U.S. territories. These premiere law officers had to be more capable on horse back, better at navigating the open range, intimate with the tribal etiquette of the many indigenous nations, and capable of dispensing justice with a hand gun. The mature federal marshal had to survive many gunfights, apprehend numerous badmen, and adjudicate crimes where courts could not be reached. Here we find such a marshal upon an especially long hard trail pursuing one of the deadliest villains ever to pass out of Texas. We share the hunt and the many experiences of the officer along the track to justice. Heroines, scalawags, small town officials arise and bring alive tales of the old west that may well have been true.

A Face Like a Chicken's Backside

An Unconventional Soldier in South East Asia, 1948–71

By: J P Cross

In almost forty years in Asia without a home posting, British officer John Cross spent ten of them ‘under the jungle canopy’. He amassed a wealth of experience fighting against Communist Revolutionary Warfare, and training others to do so. As a result he was called upon to work in many formidable situations, and twice found himself on an army short-list of one for difficult tasks. Cross focuses on five stages in his extraordinary army career. He spent eight years as a company commander with the Gurkhas in Malaya fighting jungle operations against the communists. After that he took part in the attempt to end twenty years of guerrilla domination over the aborigines in north Malaya, and secured the territory between Thailand and the aboriginal population that had been occupied and used by the guerrillas. As commander of the Sarawak and Sabah Border Scouts in Borneo, Cross was constantly on the move. At one point in this hectic period in his service he narrowly escaped having his head cut off by an angry tribesman. He then commanded the Gurkha Independent Parachute Company, which had to operate like paras, SAS men and conventional soldiers, during the latter part of the Indonesian Confrontation with Malaya. Finally, Cross was the last commander of the British Army’s Jungle Warfare School, which trained officers and men from five continents – including American trackers who, as a result, had the price on their heads doubled in Vietnam. After the closure of the Jungle Warfare School, John Cross was asked to work in both the Royal Thai Army and the Army of the Republic of Vietnam. Instead he became defense Attaché in Laos. This fascinating book provides vivid insight into the realities of jungle warfare by one of its most experienced practitioners.

Metaethics

A Short Companion

By: David A. Horner,J. P. Moreland

The study of ethics is primarily associated with questions of morality: “good” and “bad,” “right” and “wrong.” The field of metaethics asks about what we mean by terms like “good” or “right,” and whether they represent real features of the world. In Metaethics: A Short Companion, David A. Horner and J. P. Moreland provide a primer on how to think about questions surrounding the concept of morality—its nature, status, grounding, underlying presuppositions, and philosophical commitments. From a stance rooted in moral realism, Horner and Moreland explore and evaluate the major metaethical positions on offer in the field, including expressivism, error theory, relativism, constructivism, ethical naturalism, and ethical nonnaturalism. They conclude by arguing for the rationality of a Christian worldview as a guiding metaethical position. The study of metaethics equips Christians to think deeply about the nature of reality, knowledge, truth, and morality. Metaethics: A Short Companion offers a clear and concise introduction to the key concepts and debates in metaethics, providing readers with a foundation for reflecting on their own ethical beliefs and practices. The Essentials in Christian Ethics series is designed to illuminate the richness and centrality of ethics to all of Christian life. The series consists of short, introductory volumes written by renowned scholars in the fields of ethics, theology, and philosophy. Each volume explores a crucial element of Christian ethical reflection, approaching the subject from within the broader Protestant moral tradition.

A Manual of Morphometry in Diagnostic Pathology

By: J.P. Baak,J. A. Oort

J. Oort and J.P.A. Baak This manual is written by pathologists and is meant for pathologists. It deals with a subject that became especially popular in pathology at the end of the last decade: morphometry. Morphometry is defined as the quantitative description of a structure (Weibel, 1969). This structure may be both of macroscopic and micro scopic size. Strictly, the size of an organ is a morphometric feature. This type of morphometry has long been in use in pathology. Examples ofthis type in diagnostic pathology have been given by Roesle and Roulet (1932). In this manual, however, the term morphometry is used in its re stricted microscopic meaning, i.e., the quantitative description of micro scopic images and features. The quantitative analysis of microscopic pic tures has for a long time been subordinated to the qualitative description. This may partly have been caused by the preference of the human mirld for pattern recognition rather than quantitative appraisal, which leads to judgements based on impressions subconsciously tested against the ob server's (mental) image of the normal pattern. Another cause may have been the time-consuming difficulties of collecting and computing quanti tative information. During the past decades the usefulness of quantitative methods in histo- and cytopathology has been stressed for many different subjects. In addition, minicomputers have become widely available and are becoming increasingly inexpensive; the more so since the introduction of micro com puters.

Building Imaginary Worlds

Building Imaginary Worlds

The Theory and History of Subcreation

By: Mark J.P. Wolf

Mark J.P. Wolf’s study of imaginary worlds theorizes world-building within and across media, including literature, comics, film, radio, television, board games, video games, the Internet, and more. Building Imaginary Worlds departs from prior approaches to imaginary worlds that focused mainly on narrative, medium, or genre, and instead considers imaginary worlds as dynamic entities in and of themselves. Wolf argues that imaginary worlds—which are often transnarrative, transmedial, and transauthorial in nature—are compelling objects of inquiry for Media Studies. Chapters touch on: a theoretical analysis of how world-building extends beyond storytelling, the engagement of the audience, and the way worlds are conceptualized and experienced a history of imaginary worlds that follows their development over three millennia from the fictional islands of Homer’s Odyssey to the present internarrative theory examining how narratives set in the same world can interact and relate to one another an examination of transmedial growth and adaptation, and what happens when worlds make the jump between media an analysis of the transauthorial nature of imaginary worlds, the resulting concentric circles of authorship, and related topics of canonicity, participatory worlds, and subcreation’s relationship with divine Creation Building Imaginary Worlds also provides the scholar of imaginary worlds with a glossary of terms and a detailed timeline that spans three millennia and more than 1,400 imaginary worlds, listing their names, creators, and the works in which they first appeared.

Teaching Secondary Mathematics

By: David Rock,Douglas K. Brumbaugh,Thomas J. P. Brady

Solidly grounded in up-to-date research, theory, and technology, Teaching Secondary Mathematics is a practical, student-friendly, and popular text for secondary mathematics methods courses. It provides clear and useful approaches for mathematics teachers and shows how concepts typically found in a secondary mathematics curriculum can be taught in a positive and encouraging way. The thoroughly revised fifth edition combines this pragmatic approach with truly innovative and integrated technology content throughout. Synthesized content between the book and a comprehensive Instructor and Student Resource website offers expanded discussion of chapter topics, additional examples, and technological tips, such as using and assessing artificial intelligence. Each chapter features tried-and-tested pedagogical techniques, problem-solving challenges, discussion points, activities, mathematical challenges, and student-life-based applications that will encourage students to think and do. New to the fifth edition: A fully revised chapter on technological advancements in the teaching of mathematics, including the use of artificial intelligence A new chapter on equity, shame, and anxiety in the mathematics classroom Connections to both the updated National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Focal Points and Standards Problem-solving challenges and sticky questions featured in each chapter to encourage students to think through everyday issues and possible solutions A fresh interior design to better highlight pedagogical elements and key features A completely updated Instructor and Student Resource site with chapter-by-chapter video lessons, teacher tools, problem solving Q&As, exercises, and helpful links and resources.
