‘Blue Sun Face’ 3D Oil Drum Art (Haiti)

$34.49

Made from steel drums, this hand-painted piece of art features a sun face design. This artwork is three-dimensional and hangs easily on a wall. Product Features: Story Behind the Art: Founded in 1990, Caribbean Craft (formerly known as Drexco) promotes employment in Haiti by training unskilled – but often highly gifted – craftspeople, and by assisting the independent artisans through the introduction of new designs and new market outlets. Unemployment in Haiti, the poorest country of the American hemisphere, is variously estimated at between 60 and 80 percent. The organization has gone through rough times during the past years, marked by political troubles and economic difficulties including a 3-year-long embargo on all Haitian exports. Drexco saw in 1997 its premises totally ransacked and then destroyed during gang violence. Relocated in a higher-security industrial park, the organization currently employs 400 artisans either as salaried employees or outside contractors, with roughly equal numbers of men and women. Caribbean Craft’s specialty is brightly colored, artistically hand-painted home decor objects, which can be purely decorative, such as wall hangings, or consist of objects useful in the home, like switch plates and magnets. The natural artistic talents of the Haitians are well known, and many of these hand-painted pieces are truly works of art. What is Worldstock? The handcrafted nature of this product will produce minor differences in design and sizing. Subtle variations will occur from piece to piece, adding to its unique qualities.

As the Imjin war dragged on for years, Korea needed a way to effectively train a large number of troops, and the Korean military adopted a training methodology based on a Chinese military manual called Ji Xiao Xin Shu (Hangul: ?효??, Hanja: ????) written by a famous Chinese strategist Qi Jiguang (??光). The book was of particular interest to Koreans as it was written by a Chinese strategist and a commander who has successfully defeated a major Japanese pirate force that landed in Southeast coast of China mere decades before the Imjin war. Koreans created their own version of the military training manual based on the Chinese version and called it Muyejebo. The Muyejebo contains chapters about the use of the following weapons: The information about the use of the Wisteria shield with the throwing spear and the waist sword was in one chapter. The king ordered his officials to add supplemental information to the Muyejebo, he died however before this work got published.

5,000 Years Of Korean Martial Arts

$29.95

“5000 Years of Korean Martial Art” is a one of a kind history book. No other Korean martial art history book on the market is as complete and in-depth. Citing historical references for support, and featuring many rare pictures and some images that are not available from any other published source. This book attempts to place Korean martial arts in it’s proper historical perspective in relationship to Chinese and Japanese martial arts. Both Chinese and Japanese martial arts have well known and documented histories, so much so that they have completely overshadowed Korean martial art history. I have attempted to compensate for that overshadowing by focusing on the successes of the Korean martial arts throughout history. Barry Harmon has a BA degree in “Psychosomatics and Alternative Healing Studies” from San Francisco State University. He has an acupuncture degree from the San Francisco College of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. He is certified nationally through the NCCAOM and license to practice acupuncture in Texas. In addition to his academics, he has been training and studying martial arts since 1965 and Kuk Sool Won since 1971. In 2002 KBS (Korean Broadcasting System) featured Master Harmon and his family in an hour long documentary which was aired throughout South Korea. Master Harmon currently holds an 9th degree black belt in Kuk Sool Won and has been featured in numerous martial arts magazines. In 2005 he was chosen by Tae Kwan Do Times magazine as instructor of the year. He has taught martial arts in many countries around the world including South Korea.

50 Ways to Leave Your Lectern

$94.95

Today’s college teacher is caught between paradigms: to lecture or not to lecture. Lecturing is now described as ineffective and passi in today’s world of higher education. In practice, however, most professors still lecture because they were taught by the lecture method; they were conditioned to become auditory learners, and they have had no formal training in alternative teaching methods. Faculty are biologists, art historians, or mathematicians, and they think of teaching in terms of quantifiable content. But if lecturing is out, what is in ? How does one move from empty vessel to active learning? How can we truly engage today’s student? Trends in higher education have begun to shift the teacher’s role from soloist or center-stage performer to conductor, orchestrating and synthesizing a dynamic, multifaceted learning experience. Yet the question lingers: How do we leave our lecterns? How can teachers engage students? Staley’s book offers you a proven way to stimulate thinking, discussion, and group interaction. Each exercise in 50 WAYS TO LEAVE YOUR LECTERN will ask you to identify your ABC Goals for the activity at the outset based on Bloom’s Affective, Behavioral, and Cognitive goals. Professors may be accustomed to concentrating primarily on cognitive goals; however, all three types of goals are important. Unlike upper division courses with more specialized knowledge; affective, behavioral, and cognitive goals should be more equally balanced in first-year courses.
