Teaching Elementary Language Arts: A Balanced Approach emphasizes the blend of theory and practice in teaching the language arts to elementary students.

By explaining and analyzing the various outlooks, methods, and movements prevalent in the field, the author outlines a practical, balanced approach to teaching language arts. For pre-service and in-service teachers of elementary language arts.

 1543 and All That: Image and Word, Change and Continuity in the Proto-Scientific Revolution


1543 and All That: Image and Word, Change and Continuity in the Proto-Scientific Revolution


$236


The focus of this volume, the Proto-Scientific Revolution, is that distinctive period, essentially High Renaissance in character, which paved the way for the Scientific Revolution of the seventeenth century. The epicentre of this important period is 1543, the annus mirabilis which saw the publication, amongst other seminal works, of Copernicus’ On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres, and Vesalius’ magnificently illustrated On the Fabric of the Human Body. A substantial literature exists on the Copernican Revolution, but the present original collection of papers, accessible to the non-specialist reader, breaks new ground, not only in bringing the works of Copernicus and Vesalius together, but by placing them within the context of the Proto-Scientific Revolution as a whole, the Renaissance of the arts, and the Reformation. In addition, the book, while noting discontinuities, pin-points linkages between the Proto-Scientific Revolution and the periods preceding and following it. As the volume focuses on an age which experienced the impact of both linear perspective and movable type printing, emphasis is placed upon the changing nature and roles of both image and word.

 A Blessing Of Sunshine & Wrath


A Blessing Of Sunshine & Wrath


$12.79


“A Blessing of Sunshine” traces one woman’s journey virtually from childhood through adolescence and into adulthood. This true story touches upon diverse challenges of an abandoned infant that was adopted by a wonderful elderly couple. This couple had a very strict, stern religious belief. They also had raised a large group of children that had already left the nest. The empty nest put all the focus on Susan and the pressures of being the perfect Christian child. This rigid religious controlled childhood made it seem impossible to be happy, and left many questions not allowed to be answered, as children were to be seen and not heard! The stress and pressure was more than she could take. She was always afraid she would not be worthy of going to heaven or being in the rapture if Jesus returned to earth. Susan Gore was born in the United Sates, where she has spent her entire life. She was abandoned by her birth mother and adopted by an elderly couple that had already raised eight children and had grandchildren. Per her Adoptive mother’s wishes she married, graduated from high school, become a hair dresser, worked as a stylist for a few years, became a mother, and then changed careers to the business world. Still not fulfilled and after experiencing some unusual phenomena, she discovered the healing arts. In 2001 she attained a second degree certification in Reiki, the Usui System of Natural Healing. She began working with energy healing and experienced many healings of her own. Brought up in a strict protestant environment, later in life she discovered the Universe doesn’t look at the names of religions or rules at all, it’s what inside the mind, heartand spirit that matters.
