Principle Quest Unwrapped

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 126
Book Description
In my career on Wall Street, then as founder of a successful entrepreneurial venture, the Institute for Private Investors, I discovered how vital it is to build community in any group or team. But exactly how does that happen? In this workbook, I share a possible recipe, what I have learned from my own Principle Quest and leading retreats for women since 2012. Racial justice and gender equity are urgent challenges for us all. You may be considering being a facilitator of a retreat or using one of these formats in your own workplace or community. I am thrilled! I am excited to think that building community becomes better understood, an explicit goal of work teams, events and various groups - and not just for women-only groups. What you will find in this workbook are tools, formats and tips for creating that climate of a safe and more intimate community. As you read, I hope you will feel confident and well prepared to introduce these concepts and exercises within your own network of colleagues and friends. By providing you with these tools to build a safe community, facilitate a retreat, or lead a team, my hope is that you relish your own journey, find your deepest wisdom, feel empowered - and most importantly, learn how we can change our world into a more just and sustainable environment for everyone.

Unwrapping Ancient Egypt
Author: Christina Riggs
Publisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 0857856774
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
First runner-up for the British-Kuwait Friendship Society Book Prize in Middle Eastern Studies 2015. In ancient Egypt, wrapping sacred objects, including mummified bodies, in layers of cloth was a ritual that lay at the core of Egyptian society. Yet in the modern world, attention has focused instead on unwrapping all the careful arrangements of linen textiles the Egyptians had put in place. This book breaks new ground by looking at the significance of textile wrappings in ancient Egypt, and at how their unwrapping has shaped the way we think about the Egyptian past. Wrapping mummified bodies and divine statues in linen reflected the cultural values attached to this textile, with implications for understanding gender, materiality and hierarchy in Egyptian society. Unwrapping mummies and statues similarly reflects the values attached to Egyptian antiquities in the West, where the colonial legacies of archaeology, Egyptology and racial science still influence how Egypt appears in museums and the press. From the tomb of Tutankhamun to the Arab Spring, Unwrapping Ancient Egypt raises critical questions about the deep-seated fascination with this culture – and what that fascination says about our own.

Schooling, Democracy, and the Quest for Wisdom
Author: Robert V Bullough
Publisher: Rutgers University Press
ISBN: 0813599938
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
Winner of 2019 Society of Professors of Education Outstanding Book Award and 2019 Critics Choice Book Award from AESA In response to growing concern in the 1980s about the quality of public education across the United States, a tremendous amount of energy was expended by organizations such as the Holmes Group and the Carnegie Forum to organize professional development schools (PDS) or “partner schools” for teacher education. On the surface, the concept of partnering is simple; however, the practice is very costly, complex, and difficult. In Schooling, Democracy, and the Quest for Wisdom, Robert V. Bullough, Jr. and John R. Rosenberg examine the concept of partnering through various lenses and they address what they think are the major issues that need to be, but rarely are, discussed by thousands of educators in the U.S. who are involved and invested in university-public school partnerships. Ultimately, they assert that the conversation around partnering needs re-centering (most especially on the purposes of public education), refreshing, and re-theorizing.

Quest: An Autobiography
Author: Leopold Infeld
Publisher: American Mathematical Society
ISBN: 1470464950
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
Leopold Infeld was one of the nine eminent scientists who, together with Albert Einstein, signed Bertrand Russell's famous letter warning that in this nuclear age, only a ban on war itself could save this planet (July, 1955). Infeld was born in the Jewish ghetto of Cracow, Poland in 1898, and this autobiography contains a vivid description of this long-since-vanished world. He was assistant to and then a scientific collaborator with Albert Einstein at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton, NJ (1936–1938), and this collaboration continued for twelve years while Infeld was at the University of Toronto. In 1938 he wrote a book together with Albert Einstein that became a number one bestseller, The Evolution of Physics. Infeld was lecturer and then Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Toronto from 1938--1950. From 1945–1950 he gave many lectures all over Canada on the elementary physics of the atom bomb, warning that Russia would soon have the bomb and urging that the short period of U.S. monopoly be used constructively, for peace. In 1950 he left Canada to become Professor of Theoretical Physics at the University of Warsaw as well as the founding director of the Institute of Theoretical Physics at that university, where he remained until 1967, the year before he died.
