Love. A powerful word that affects almost everyone, regardless of their culture and background. The word love is used so often that it has become hackneyed. Who does not want Love? Who has experienced Love and is afraid to Love again? (Jaws of Love). Love is an innate energy that once awakened transcends the inertia of our vitality. Love can only spring from within enabling you to unleash a torrid of emotions that are hard to check. When you are in Love's grip there is no escape. Your persona is abandoned. You are enthralled with the passions that wrap around your wishes. Those who have been captured by Cupid know that intelligence and common sense leaves you. Therefore, we are leery of its approach and try not to surrender to its charms. Is it true love or just fascination? Join me as we travel together through these pages of Love and Hope.
We tend to view education primarily as a way to teach students skills and knowledge that they will draw upon as they move into their adult lives. However, schools do more than educate students—they also place students into categories, such as kindergartner, English language learner, or honor roll student. In Schooled & Sorted, Thurston Domina, Andrew M. Penner, and Emily K. Penner, explore processes of educational categorization in order to explain the complex relationship between education and social inequality—and to identify strategies that can help build more just educational systems. Some educational categories have broadly egalitarian consequences. Indeed, Domina, Penner, and Penne...
Mao Zedong, leader of the revolution and absolute chairman of the People's Republic of China, was also a calligrapher and a poet of extraordinary grace and eloquent simplicity. The poems in this beautiful edition (from the 1963 Beijing edition), translated and introduced by Willis Barnstone, are expressions of decades of struggle, the painful loss of his first wife, his hope for a new China, and his ultimate victory over the Nationalist forces. Willis Barnstone's introduction, his short biography of Mao and brief history of the revolution, and his notes on Chinese versification all combine to enrich the Western reader's understanding of Mao's poetry.
You're not as messed up as you think. At least, that's what her friend Zack always says. Sophia isn't so sure. She is sure, though, that swing dancing helps as she struggles through depression in her final year at Queen's University. Then she breaks her ankle. Her defence is gone. Zack seems to believe people can change, even the bullies who almost broke him, and Sophia has to hope he's right as she spirals toward despair. But any challenge can be a blessing as well as a curse. In this modern coming-of-age tale, against the backdrop of bullying, mental illness and even darker threats, Swing Out of the Blue is a story of vulnerability, friendship, courage and personal growth, and of recognizing, above all, that we are not alone.
In a groundbreaking comparison between the Biblical and Hindu traditions, Reaching Beyond the Religious reveals a wisdom that transcends time, culture and creed, and which has the power to transform the way we think about religion in the 21st century. Dispelling the idea that we can create our destinies by tapping into the power of our intentions, the book flips the paradigm on its head and challenges our basic assumptions about the world, God, and the human enterprise. Weaving between mythology and reality, East and West, the book unearths seven universal wisdom themes from across the religious spectrum and maps these onto the complexities of modern day life. From Genesis, Job and the Hindu...

This book is the second part of two books on the concept of The Matrix Conspiracy. The Matrix conspiracy is a mix of postmodern intellectualism, management theory, self-help and New Age, which together constitute a global spreading ideology. This ideology is created by The Mythology of Authenticity - a mythology where everything is about becoming and not being. With this final book on the Matrix Conspiracy, Morten Tolboll is, with the use of philosophy, creating a kind of temple to truth in the midst of falsehood.
