Book Description
As We Recall is the first book of its kind. A collection of reminiscences written by members of the U.S. Naval Academy class of 1952, it is a testament to the value of a Naval Academy education. Some stories are of combat in Korea, exploits in space, aerial combat over Vietnam, or development of major weapons systems. Others are stories of life at sea or of the challenges faced by the families supporting their husbands and fathers. It is safe to say, this book is an edifying, intimate, and inspiring history.

Book Description
To spectators looking from the outside world, Gregory Watson, a handsome, multilingual and suave thirty-something-year young African-American expatriate was living the golden life. As a sports icon in Spain, he enjoyed financial security, ardent popularity and unbridled female adulation. However after an eleven-year sojourn, Gregory at the behest of his truest love --- daughter Caryn Ann Michelle --- decided the time was right to return to his American roots. All things considered, despite the comforting prospects of returning ‘home, sweet home’, there was still something amiss in the life of one of Brooklyn’s finest as he waited for the solution of his misery to ‘burst in with the dawn’. Meanwhile, some eleven hundred miles away at ‘first fowl crow’, Desiree Thompson, a vibrant, beautiful and successful businesswoman mourns for an unknown absence of being. As President/CEO of Thompson Management Limited and Nassau Bahamas most eligible bachelorette, her business acumen and passion for excellence was second to none. Still, although Desiree was able to conquer most of life’s everyday challenges, only one overwhelmed her: love. Even as many capable suitors vied for a place on her throne, no enchanted king captured or enlivened the heart of this Caribbean queen. As her quest for the Holy Grail continued, she often gazed ‘across the midnight sky’ in a never-ending search for something nice. Both Desiree and Gregory cannot avoid an inevitable fact: they were meant to be in love and together. However after many wonder years and definitive lives apart, the question arises: does love stand a chance the second time around? It's only a matter of time with a ‘wait for the magic’ as this compelling couple embarks on a complex yet amazing soul journey which defies both convention and imagination. It bears forth these hallowed words: I CAN RECALL AFTER ALL.

Book Description
Learning is an inseparable part of human experience. Understanding how adults learn and applying that expertise to practical everyday situations and relationships opens the window on a broader understanding of the capacity of the human mind. Dorothy MacKeracher's Making Sense of Adult Learning was first published in 1996, and was acclaimed for its readability and value as a reference tool. For the second edition of this essential work, MacKeracher has reorganized and revised many of the chapters to bring the text up-to-date for contemporary use. Concepts are presented from learning-centred and learner-centred perspectives, while related learning and teaching principles provide ideas about how one may enable others to learn more effectively. Written for people preparing to become adult educators, Making Sense of Adult Learning provides background information about the nature of adult learning and the characteristics that typify adult learners. This new edition will be quick to assert its place as the premier guide in the field.

Book Description
Our present and our past are manifestly intertwined. Memories are not identical simulations of the past, but are stories shaped by our current perspectives of others, the world, and ourselves. As a result, the gathering of early recollections can be used as a projective technique that indicates our strengths, goals, lines of movement, fears, and a host of other relevant psychological data. Early Recollections are a quick, accurate, and cost-effective personality assessment demonstrated to have similar reliability and validity to other personality measures. Both a comprehensive and accessible text, Early Recollections: Interpretative Method and Application presents a constructivist approach and systematic development of early recollection theory. Mosak and Di Pietro invite students to think and actively engage in problem solving rather than merely read for content. Supported by step-by-step examples, this book also offers a perspective suitable for application by Adlerian practitioners, non-Adlerian clinicians, and all other mental health professionals and students seeking a new framework for evaluating personality.
