Autor: Deb Valainis

Número de Páginas: 289

Author Deb Valainis has always felt the need to write even from an early age. When asked to write the children's messages for her church to present during their Sunday morning worship services, Deb was honored. As she sat to write each week's message, she felt each one to be God-inspired with each one being tied to Bible scriptures. She was pleasantly surprised to see that the messages seemed to have such a positive impact on children and adults alike. An animated storyteller, Deb made each story come alive, often using props and hands-on interaction with the children. Oftentimes, individuals would ask her where she acquired her stories and how people might get copies of them. She was encouraged to put them into a book format for others to share and enjoy. So having accumulated quite a large number of these messages or short stories, Deb was finally convinced to combine a few of them into this first book in the hopes that they might serve to inspire others. Whether used as a story time aid or as part of a family devotional, her hope and prayer is that they will encourage others to read their Bibles each day, as they seek a closer relationship with God and strive to follow His...

Dialogic Education and Technology

Autor: Rupert Wegerif

Número de Páginas: 327

Dialogic Education and Technology is about using new technology to draw people into the kind of dialogues which take them beyond themselves into learning, thinking and creativity. The program of research reported in this book reveals key characteristics of learning dialogues and demonstrates ways in which computers and networks can deepen, enrich and expand such dialogues. A dialogic perspective is developed drawing upon recent work in communications theory, psychology, computer science and philosophy. This perspective foregrounds the creative space opened up by authentic dialogues. Whereas studies of computer-supported collaborative learning have tended to see dialogue as a means to the end of knowledge construction the dialogic perspective taken by this book sees dialogue as an end in itself - in fact moving learners into the space of dialogue is described as the core aim of education. The central argument of the book is that there is a convergence between this dialogic perspective in education and the affordances of new information and communications technology. A genuinely dialogic perspective is relatively new to the field of educational technology and there is a considerable ...

It is 1945. Victorious London and her country are exhausted; conflict and confusion dominate the ruins of Köln and Berlin, of Italy and fascist Spain; while a ruthless banditry will soon control the secret world in Washington's Foggy Bottom - its tentacles to reach even the Vatican. Family and friends search for Harry Cardwell, alive or dead. Harry's son, Frank pursues justice or revenge for Nuremburg and the Judge Advocate General - but eventually, exhausted, chooses Opera Lirica where the red flag flies in Emilia. Frank, Helen and William with their children and children's children will gather and return for Harry and the new Millennium - to the snows of Puschlav and Alp Grüm. The Cold War has divided the World, divides Europe, divides countries, above all divides the Cardwells. This far-reaching novel questions the accepted origins and the conduct of that division, and witnesses in particular the ruthless stranglehold of American power and paranoia on the politics and life of Italy and of Chile.

"Oh, Bunny! Here comes Bunker Blue!" "Where is he? I don't see him!" Bunny Brown and his Sister Sue were playing on the shady side porch of their house one morning, when the little girl, looking up from a cracker box which had been made into a bedÑwhere she was putting her doll to sleepÑsaw a tall boy walking up the path. "There's Bunker!" went on Sue to her brother, Bunny, at the same time pointing. "Maybe he's come to take us for a ride in one of daddy's fishing boats!" "Have you, Bunker?" asked Bunny, standing up and brushing some shavings from his little jacket, for he had been using a dull kitchen knife, trying to whittle out a wooden boat from a piece of curtain stick. "Oh, Bunker, have you?" "Have I what?" asked the tall boy, who worked on the dock where Mr. Brown, the father of Bunny and Sue, carried on a boat and fish business. "Have I what?" Bunker asked again, and he stood still and gazed at the two small children who were anxiously looking at him. "Have you come to take us for a ride?" asked Bunny. "In one of daddy's boats?" added Sue, who generally waited for her brother to speak first, since he was a year older than she. "Not this time, messmates," answered Bunker...

Oil! A Novel

Oil! A Novel

Autor: Upton Sinclair

Número de Páginas: 847

"Oil! A Novel" by Upton Sinclair is a gripping and politically charged tale that traces the rise of the American oil industry through the eyes of Bunny Ross, the idealistic son of a ruthless oil tycoon, as he comes of age in a world defined by profit, power, and corruption. Set in Southern California during the early 20th century, the novel follows Bunny's growing awareness of the exploitative practices underpinning his family's wealth and the broader capitalist system, especially as he witnesses the harsh realities faced by oil workers, the manipulation of politics by business interests, and the suppression of labor movements. Inspired by the real-life Teapot Dome scandal, Sinclair uses Bunny's moral awakening to explore themes of class conflict, corporate greed, and the moral compromises that accompany privilege and ambition. As relevant today as it was upon publication, the novel sharply echoes contemporary concerns around economic inequality, corporate influence in politics, and the environmental and social cost of energy industries. Sinclair's storytelling is vivid and unflinching, blending personal drama with social critique in a way that feels eerily prescient in the...
