One of the most important endeavors that either a caregiver or a professional can embark on is the dispensing of knowledge and basic skills to a student, especially during the student's formative, early years of life. This book takes the reader through both the process and critical principles necessary to teach in a way that sets the course for both the educator and student to effectively grow in the transfer and pursuit of knowledge. It also gives educators insight into providing students the confidence necessary in achieving the often daunting task of learning. The author takes on this study by using her 30 years of working in childhood development as well as her recent active research from the University of Yorkville in the study of Masters in Education Studies. With the basis of this book on educational empowerment, she takes the reader through the process of "teaching the teacher" (aka scaffolding) as well as providing insight from world renowned psychologists and educators such as Piaget and Vygotsky. Upon reading this work, you will readily find it to be a key resource for parent, teacher, and all other dispensers of knowledge.

Will Wilding recounts the story of his parents and their three young children living in the Belgian Congo between 1914 and 1935. His father, Robert Wilding, left his job as a seaman in the British Royal Navy to begin his work as a missionary while he was still single. He was left alone with a tent in Lubaland, one of the most primitive areas of the region. During a year away, he met and married a young Swiss nurse, Martha Vuadens, and after a brief honeymoon she joined the work in Kabumbulu. This book tracks the lives of Will's family, as his parents worked with the local Luban tribe, leading building projects, setting up bush hospitals and medical clinics, training local assistants, creating a written language, starting churches, and translating parts of the Bible. They built warm relationships with the surrounding tribes, including the nearby cannibals. The book is illustrated with historic photos of the wildlife and interactions with the local people.

In this academic work, Luis Marquez uncovers the paradoxical notion of the human psyche that brings about an eruptual end to the meaningless abyss of post-modernism. By bringing together the works and thoughts of numerous great thinkers such as: Socrates, Aristotle, Baruch Spinoza, Slavoj ¿i¿ek, Jacques Lacan, Friedrich Nietzsche and Alasdair MacIntyre; Luis Marquez is able to elicit a rich philosophical discourse. The main theme of this work is to tackle the prevailing decline of Aristotelian teleology or the telos, its ethical dimension in Western political and cultural thought. Following the critique of ¿i¿ek and MacIntyre about post-modernism's inherent absence of a coherent, purposeful political and culture discourse, Luis Marquez argues for the revival of the telos within a political society by unlocking its revolutionary potential within human unconsciousness. Marquez formulates a compelling critique of contemporary philosophers who argue that the telos is lost or has gone extinct, by demonstrating the contrary, as a critical component of human relations and a vital source of further human progression and happiness.
This book is an inspirational collection of hand drawn designs for all ages that include tabletop games, crafts and projects with the underlying theme of self-improvement through guided art creation. Written from a place of physical disability, this book hopes to encourage others to push their own limits through artistic participation that challenge social norms and encourage all round acceptance. There is no 'wrong way' in this book and the 'funky' terrain of the book encourages others to do their best with what they have been given...in my case with what I have left! Have fun with life - it helps!
