Book Description
Is the Xmas Tree Blocking Our View by R. G. Youngmoon The Christmas season can be a chaotic and stressful time of year. The tradition of gift giving often places an overwhelming amount of pressure on the gift giver and gift receiver alike. Over the years, much of the true meaning of Christmas has been lost. Is the Xmas Tree Blocking Our View examines the true meaning of Christmas by remembering the day God gave His Son to the world, not only as a Savior, but as one who taught and demonstrated how life should be lived while travelling the stormy seas of life.
The New Astronomy: Opening the Electromagnetic Window and Expanding our View of Planet Earth
Author: Wayne OrchistonPublisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 1402037244
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 345
Book Description
This is an unusual book, combining as it does papers on astrobiology, history of astronomy and sundials, but—after all—Woody Sullivan is an unusual man. In late 2003 I spent two fruitful and enjoyable months in the Astronomy Department at the University of Washington (UW) working on archival material accumulated over the decades by Woody, for a book we will co-author with Jessica Chapman on the early development of Australian astronomy. The only serious intellectual distraction I faced during this period was planning for an IAU colloquium on transits of Venus scheduled for June 2004 in England, where I was down to present the ‘Cook’ paper. I knew Woody was also interested in transits (and, indeed, anything remotely connected with shadows—see his paper on page 3), and in discussing the Preston meeting with him it transpired that his 60th birthday was timed to occur just one week later. This was where the seed of ‘Woodfest’ began to germinate. Why not invite friends and colleagues to join Woody in Seattle and celebrate this proud event? I put the idea to Woody and others at UW, they liked it, and ‘Woodfest’ was born.
Epilepsy in Our View
Author: Steven C. SchachterPublisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN: 0195330870
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
In the last 5 years, approximately 2.7 million people have been treated for epilepsy and between 0.5%-2% of people will develop epilepsy during their lifetime. Up to 5% of the worldwide population may have a single seizure in their lifetime. It is further estimated that 60 million people in the world have had at least one epileptic seizure in their lifetime. Most shockingly is that between 70-80,000 people each year in the US alone are diagnosed with epilepsy. Because of these figures, and Dr. Schachter's roll as Director of the Comprehensive Epilepsy Center, Dr. Schachter sought to create a series of books written from the viewpoint of people with epilepsy. This volume, Epilepsy in our View, presents accounts of seizures from the perspective of family, friends, co-workers, care-givers, and physicians of people with epilepsy.

One Day

ISBN: 9780971303706
Category : Culture
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
Combines history and photography to document the deaf culture around the world in a single 24-hour period on May 1, 1997. This unique project consists of more than ten thousand pictures by over three hundred amateur and professional photographers from five continents and thirty countries. The result of this outstanding effort is a fully-captioned, diverse collection of photographs submitted by volunteer photographers, with the only requirements for participation being that the subjects of the photos are deaf, live with the deaf or work with the deaf. One Day capitalized on the close-knit deaf community, using the power of the Internet to reach photographers around the world to participate. The vision and observation skills of the deaf are highly developed, as they rely primarily on sight for communication, and the creative effort of One Day show-cases their unique perspectives. Through a wide-ranging array of photos, the book emphasizes the common threads that bind people together, from Ethiopian schoolchildren to revered Australian nonagenarians, and gives a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the deaf worldwide.

Each step in the meditation practice (Recognize, Allow, Investigate, Nurture) is brought to life by memorable stories shared by Tara and her students as they deal with feelings of overwhelm, loss, and self-aversion, with painful relationships, and past trauma--and as they discover step-by-step the sources of love, forgiveness, compassion, and deep wisdom alive within all of us.
