Product Description
This book is the collaborative effort of two authors: Jacqui Gilbert and Bridget Hall. Jacqui is the channel for the Light Beings, Osiris, Isis and Thoth. Their channelled communciations are transcribed verbatim and discussed in this book. Although none of these great Beings of Light have been heard from for many years, they are now ready to deliver knowledge and information to humanity - in support of our upliftment.Our understanding about what has happened on Earth as opposed to what was supposed to happen, in terms of humanity's enLightenment, lies at th heart of the success of the new wave of consciousness that is enveloping all people.It is this expansion of our awareness that is supporting us to get back on track and move forwards towards enLightenment. Almost unbelievably, we learn that we can reach the heights of spirituality whilst remaining physically alive.This describes the process of Livng Ascension which the Light Beings teach us about. We can transcend the lessons of the Wheel of Karma which have dogged our lifetimes for many thousands of years to date - as detailed by the extent of the Mayan Calendar.To this end, we morph ourselves into a state of spiritualised physicality - by expanding our perceptual ability beyond the current 4th dimenson of physical reality - to make the 5th dimension of spiritual reality relevant in our physical lives on Earth. The alternative is not even worth considering: that we continue on a lowered resonance Earth, in the 3rd or 4th dimension, for another long cycle of learning. ... Read more

Product Description
One of the great American Modernist artists, Charles Burchfield (1893-1967) is often associated with the romantic nature fantasies he produced in his later years, but his earliest engagements with Modernism are often overlooked. In Charles Burchfield 1920: The Architecture of Painting, the importance of this phase is examined for the first time. Assembling a tight group of Burchfield's watercolors, it highlights works executed between 1918 and 1920, which depict the stark houses and industrial landscapes of Burchfield's Salem, Ohio. These watercolors employ certain hallmarks of Modernist pictorial strategy, such as flattened space, reductive simplicity and industrial themes, but without the crisp Precisionism of a Demuth or a Sheeler--rather they convey Burchfield's simultaneous engagement with Folk Art and Expressionism. By positioning this period as integral to (rather than anomalous within) the trajectory of Burchfield's career, the insights of authors Michael Hall, Nannette Maciejunes and Karli Wurzelbacher here provide a richer understanding of Burchfield's art. ...

Do you ever lie awake worrying at night?Do you worry about how your boss is unhappy with your work or how you failed an exam or how your son may get swine flu or how your parents are old and need attention? Yes, some things are bad.We don't deny it.The biggest misperception about positive psychology is that it is positive thinking. It is not.Positive psychology is the study of what makes people grow and flourish, no matter what circumstances surround them.Life includes grief and loss. As a prominent professor says, "Positive psychology is the permission to be human."But worrying about things that may never occur takes a huge toll on people.People may also attach more suffering than necessary to negative events by creating interpretations that make them feel helpless. This little book explores an important topic in the field of positive psychology:Why do some people go through hard times and be-come stronger and more appreciative of their lives?Do they think differently than other people?Do they behave differently?What can we learn from them that can make other people's lives better?What tools and techniques emerge from research that can help all of us deal more effectively with the challenges of our time? ...

Great resource
I've enjoyed reading it.

The authors have provided a helpful range of advice and perspectives. It's research-based, so comes with credibility - and it's in everyday language. The result is a series of simple steps anyone could take to develop resilience.

I'm particularly keen on the questions and answers at the end of each chapter. It's an innovative and very useful addition to the book. The authors and the readers who have asked the questions get to issues I haven't seen dealt with before. The discussion about handling a multitude of disruptive thoughts provides useful clarity. The discussion about the order of thoughts and emotions is valuable too.

"I Will Survive," And Here's How
I can practically hear Gloria Gaynor singing her disco classic, "I Will Survive," on these pages. "Resilience" is rich with anecdotes, reflections, and useful tips--all grounded in research--to help you bounce back from life's road bumps and even its landmines.

The book answers these questions and much more: How can you calm your body amid adversity? How can you get out of a bad mood? What can you do to find hope even during times of extreme stress? How can you handle the noise in your head that can undermine your well-being? How can you rely on others during hard times? What is laughter yoga?

"Resilience" is a collection of articles from the intellectually vibrant community that makes up the "Positive Psychology News Daily," which is the brainchild of Senia Maymin, a Ph.D. candidate in organizational behavior at Stanford. Maymin, along with her co-editor, Kathryn Britton, and many of the contributors to "Resilience," earned a Master of Applied Positive Psychology (MAPP).

Started by Martin Seligman, Ph.D., at the University of Pennsylvania just over a decade ago, positive psychology is a rigorous, research based area of psychology that, according to the book, is geared to "be just as interested in building the best things in life as in repairing the worst."

So back to Gaynor: "Did I crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die? Oh no, not I. I will survive." The 16 authors from five continents who wrote "Resilience" offer you shortcuts to make it easier.

Text needed for class
Placed order 2 weeks before class started.Did not receive until beginning of 3rd week of class.Sale conditions did not note that text was being mailed from overseas.Book received in excellent condition and ready to sell as I no longer have need for it.

A MUST Read for any one in any type of organization
This book is an excellent source of variety of valuable information regarding implementation of technologies in the workplace, the effect of such in terms of business processes, as well as the impact on current employees.It also clearly outlines mechanisms for dealing with ever-changing workplace environment and the human factor behind it. For those who seek to master management skills, especially during Business Process Reengineering, this book will help to identify various forces active or ready to be active and how to best manage those forces with the least negative impact on the overall transition process and people involved.There is no other book equally detailed and "real".I highly recommend this book to anyone and, in my opinion; this should be a required lecture for any student, regardless of the major of study. ...

Product Description
The fruit of a conference that gathered seven very active researchers in the field, Combinatorial Design and their Applications presents a wide but representative range of topics on the non-geometrical aspects of design theory. By concentrating on a few important areas, the authors succeed in providing greater detail in these areas in a more complete and accessible form. Through their contributions to this collection, they help fill a gap in the available combinatorics literature.The papers included in this volume cover recent developments in areas of current interest, such as difference sets, cryptography, and optimal linear codes. Researchers in combinatorics and other areas of pure mathematics, along with researchers in statistics and computer design will find in-depth, up-to-date discussions of design theory and the application of the theory to statistical design, codes, and cryptography. ...
