DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This is the story of a special type of men and women, those who seek to return to society a portion of the good fortune they have earned and received in their own lives.They are called Lions and, since 1917, have actively engaged in constructing an organization that has evolved into one of the world s most powerful forces for humanitarian progress: The International Association of Lions Clubs. It is today comprised of nearly 1.3 million members in over 45,000 Lions clubs active in 202 lands spanning the globe.They speak scores of languages and represent diversified cultures. In spirit, however, they speak a common language, the language of voluntary service, responding to an inner drive to answer human needs and to improve living conditions in their own communities and the world community.This book expands upon the history of Lions Clubs International, published in 1991 as We Serve: The History of the Lions Clubs. It chronicles the development of the association from its birth in 1917 at Chicago s LaSalle Hotel in June of that year and at its first convention at the Adolphus Hotel in Dallas later in October. It relates 90 years of the association s life span and emphasizes the work of Lions on the world scene, including the tremendous success of the Lions Clubs International Foundation, SightFirst, Campaigns SightFirst I and II, programs for youth, and other activities that have elevated the stature of Lions wherever they serve.Readers will be impressed with the accomplishments of the membership and Lions will be moved to take greater pride in wearing the lapel pin of the association. Non-Lions will come to understand fully the ideals and determination of those to whom voluntary service has become a way of life.

 How do you form your opinions about various issues? Do you let others tell you how you ought to think or what your opinions ought to be?

366 Story Seeds

de Neil Shooter

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 An idea is only the first step. Questions build stories. You must interrogate an idea, and learn to see it from different angles. You need to find the story within the setting.The more you do, the better you do. The best way to learn to do something is to do it over and over again.In 2016 I resolved to write 366 short stories, one for every day of the leap year. I failed miserably at that, but came out the other end with 11 self-published stories, dozens of almost complete drafts, and hundreds of partially developed stories. It was a great writing year, and it was so great because every single day I was working on a new idea, from scratch. The point of the exercise had been to practise writing short stories, and I succeeded in doing that 366 times.If you write 366 stories, it is surely impossible for them all to be bad?Find a way to germinate these story seeds. They are prompts, ideas, starting points for thinking about stories.One of your stories, or some of them, will be gold.

Open Society Unresolved - The Contemporary Relevance Of A Contested Idea

3,96€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Is the concept of open society still relevant in the 21st century? Do the current social, moral, and political realities call for a drastic revision of this concept? Here fifteen essays address real-world contemporary challenges to open society from a variety of perspectives. What unites the individual authors and chapters is an interest in open society’s continuing usefulness and relevance to address current problems. And what distinguishes them is a rich variety of geographical and cultural backgrounds, and a wide range of academic disciplines and traditions.While focusing on probing the contemporary relevance of the concept, several chapters approach it historically. The book features a comprehensive introduction to the history and current ‘uses’ of the theory of open society. The authors link the concept to contemporary themes including education, Artificial Intelligence, cognitive science, African cosmology, colonialism, and feminism. The diversity of viewpoints in the analysis reflects a commitment to plurality that is at the heart of this book and of the idea of open society itself.

~~44,11€~~ 39,70€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Use reflective inquiry to motivate learners to follow their own sense of wonder and empower them to become learners for life.Today's students display increasing emotional needs, and divisions in society illustrate the critical importance of students developing their own self-identities and deep cultural responsiveness. Teaching Inquiry as Conversation addresses the need for a holistic, personal, and deep approach to teaching and learning.The conceptual framework and implementable strategies/models provided in Inquiry as Conversation enable school librarians and classroom teachers to build reflective inquiry experiences into their daily instruction and the culture of the school. Each chapter invites readers to join an ongoing conversation, as authors Stripling and Toerien explore the complexities and joy of unleashing the learning potentials of young people from kindergarten through their final high school years. The authors are uniquely qualified to host this conversation: Stripling created the Stripling Model of Inquiry in 2003 and has been developing a K-12 continuum of skills since that time, and Toerien is the originator of FOSIL, a model that brings the Stripling Model of Inquiry to life through collaborative planning and teaching, signature works, and a whole-school focus on inquiry.The anecdotes, authentic examples, and practical strategies in the book guide school librarians and classroom teachers to engage and empower learners through a conversational and whole-child approach to inquiry. Learners will grow academically, socially, emotionally, and culturally as they discover their own strengths and ideas, converse with others, and interact with the ideas and opinions that they encounter through their reading, viewing, and listening.
