Download or read book Unriddling the Exeter Riddles written by Patrick J. Murphy and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2011-03-28 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vibrant and enigmatic Exeter Riddles (ca. 960–980) are among the most compelling texts in the field of medieval studies, in part because they lack textually supplied solutions. Indeed, these ninety-five Old English riddles have become so popular that they have even been featured on posters for the London Underground and have inspired a sculpture in downtown Exeter. Modern scholars have responded enthusiastically to the challenge of solving the Riddles, but have generally examined them individually. Few have considered the collection as a whole or in a broader context. In this book, Patrick Murphy takes an innovative approach, arguing that in order to understand the Riddles more fully, we must step back from the individual puzzles and consider the group in light of the textual and oral traditions from which they emerged. He offers fresh insights into the nature of the Exeter Riddles’ complexity, their intellectual foundations, and their lively use of metaphor.
Download or read book Solving the Reading Riddle written by Rita Soltan and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2010-04-15 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores what the past 75 years of reading instruction has meant to children, teachers, and parents, and how children's librarians and school media specialists are a crucial part of the developing philosophy and strategy. As a children's librarian, you are increasingly being called upon to support schools and parents in teaching children to readfrom early literacy initiatives and read-alouds to parent workshops and collection development endeavors. Yet, if you're like most public librarians, you probably have no clue as to what reading strategies other educators use. Understanding reading instruction theory and practice can help you function better in these roles and communicate more effectively with other educators and parents. Solving the Reading Riddle: The Librarian's Guide to Reading Instruction explains the theories and shows you how to effectively integrate reading instruction theory into your roles as reading advocate, family reading coach, partner with educators, and keeper of the books. Designed for public librarians, this book is also beneficial reading for LIS students in children's librarianship courses, and for teacher librarians needing more information on this topic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Dear Mr. Braxton, I appreciate your perspective on your near death experience, grounded as it is in years of prior experience, with out of body visits to other realms, and your interest in helping us with our research...I thank you in advance, for your help with this important research, and look forward with pleasure to meeting you." - Dr. Bruce Greyson, Dean of Near Death Research, Director of International Association of Near Death Studies, Editor in Chief of the Journal of Near Death Studies "Eugene, it's about time you came out with what you know...and good luck with your book it will be important." - Dr. P.M.H. Atwater, Female and 3 time Near Death Experience/Bestselling author and Current #1 Near Death World Authority "I have also heard of this American Mystic, and I have heard that at the age of 15, he was...The World's Foremost Authority on Levels of Consciousness and Experimental Dream Control" - Dr. Charles Tart - #1 World Authority in Out of Body Experiences and Levels of Consciousness "Keep up the good work, Eugene"- - Dr. David M Jacobs, of Temple University, The #1 World Authority in UFO Research and Alien Abductions Albert Einstein said that all knowledge comes from experience, and he was right. Without learning from experiences, scientists can't gather the data they need. When it comes to near-death experiences, however, we're often left without the necessary information. Those who remember anything usually just recall a flash of light or a faint sound or voice. But Eugene Braxton could remember almost everything after he nearly drowned in a lake at age fifteen, which followed years of lucid dreams, visions, and other strange encounters. He's been honing his skills as a mystic ever since, and he explores amazing experiences that he and others have had - everything from UFO sightings, probable abductions, different levels of consciousness, and more. Discover insights on the length of time between death and re-consciousness, what happens at the moment of death, why levitation is normal in the afterlife, and the changes your mind and spirit will undergo as you approach and pass through death. Get the forbidden knowledge and hard-to-find research you've been craving about near-death experiences, the afterlife, and the union of mysticism and science in America's Mystic Solves Near-Death Riddle.

Download or read book The Riddle of Amish Culture written by Donald B. Kraybill and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2003-05-01 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revised edition of this classic work brings the story of the Amish into the 21st century. Since its publication in 1989, The Riddle of Amish Culture has become recognized as a classic work on one of America's most distinctive religious communities. But many changes have occurred within Amish society over the past decade, from westward migrations and a greater familiarity with technology to the dramatic shift away from farming into small business which is transforming Amish culture. For this revised edition, Donald B. Kraybill has taken these recent changes into account, incorporating new demographic research and new interviews he has conducted among the Amish. In addition, he includes a new chapter describing Amish recreation and social gatherings, and he applies the concept of "social capital" to his sensitive and penetrating interpretation of how the Amish have preserved their social networks and the solidarity of their community.

Download or read book The Riddle written by Andrew Razeghi and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-01-07 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While organizations claim to value creativity, they are often at a loss when attempting to conjure up novel ideas, particularly in a world where technology has made information readily available to everyone. As a result, leaders ask, "Where will the next big idea come from?" In response, they allocate significant resources for innovation; however the source of creative inspiration has remained a mystery. Science has shown that it's possible to create conditions under which the mind is more prepared to have insights, or "a-ha! moments." In this fascinating book, Andrew Razeghi examines the precursors to creative insight and offers clear-cut methods for making "Eureka moments" routine practice rather than lucky accidents. Combining the latest scientific research, interviews with current innovators, and studies of history’s most creative minds, he dissects the creative process and presents a practical approach for inspiring innovation.

Download or read book An Anthropology of Puzzles written by Marcel Danesi and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2018-12-13 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Anthropology of Puzzles argues that the human brain is a "puzzling organ" which allows humans to literally solve their own problems of existence through puzzle format. Noting the presence of puzzles everywhere in everyday life, Marcel Danesi looks at puzzles in society since the dawn of history, showing how their presence has guided large sections of human history, from discoveries in mathematics to disquisitions in philosophy. Danesi examines the cognitive processes that are involved in puzzle making and solving, and connects them to the actual physical manifestations of classic puzzles. Building on a concept of puzzles as based on Jungian archetypes, such as the river crossing image, the path metaphor, and the journey, Danesi suggests this could be one way to understand the public fascination with puzzles. As well as drawing on underlying mental archetypes, the act of solving puzzles also provides an outlet to move beyond biological evolution, and Danesi shows that puzzles could be the product of the same basic neural mechanism that produces language and culture. Finally, Danesi explores how understanding puzzles can be a new way of understanding our human culture.
