Download or read book Blue Green and Everything in Between written by Prasad Modak and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-02 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In my life, I have been fortunate enough to become a Professor, practice as a Consultant and establish an organization as an Entrepreneur. Furthermore, my proximity to the Government, International Development Financing Institutions and Corporates, gave me unique exposure and experience. Indeed, these multiple roles have helped me acquire a holistic perspective on environmental management and sustainability. My extensive travel across continents has added yet another dimension of professional and personal experience that I really cherish. I met amazing people as I globe trotted and made wonderful friends in this process. I started writing posts on my blog site since 2014. The focus of the posts was to raise issues of concern on environmental management and sustainability relevant to India. Today there are more than 1300 followers and more than 45000 views. Enthused by this response, I released a compilation of 60 select posts early this year captioned "SIXTY SHADES OF GREEN." This book has been well received. The second book presents 25 posts that reflect my personal experiences (I call them BLUE) and another 25 posts that continue to deal with issues regarding environmental management and sustainability (the GREEN). It is really hard to put the posts in the separate boxes such as GREEN and BLUE as there are several overlaps and intersects that represent various SHADES of BLUE and GREEN. In all the posts, like before, I use humor and satire and tell the "stories." Most of the 'stories' are not necessarily real ... but created from my experiences and suitably crafted for the purpose of sharing. 'My Professor Friend' is a character I have created, essentially to provide another point of view. I simply adore this character and often wish that he was real! Sometimes I cite names of people, only to project "real world" and a feel of "authenticity." No offence is intended to anyone. And I do hope that the readers understand this perspective. The messages of the stories are the key takeaways. But these messages are often hidden. One of the characteristics of the posts is that while narrating these stories, knowledge is embedded in an implicit manner. Sometimes references are cited for further reading. The book could potentially be used as a supplement to a course on Environmental Management & Sustainability. Some of the posts could be used to open up group discussions or formulate assignments. I do hope that you enjoy this collection of 50 posts of the shades of BLUE and GREEN.

Download or read book Heaven Hell and Everything in Between written by Ananda Cohen Suarez and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2016-05-24 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examining the vivid, often apocalyptic church murals of Peru from the early colonial period through the nineteenth century, Heaven, Hell, and Everything in Between explores the sociopolitical situation represented by the artists who generated these murals for rural parishes. Arguing that the murals were embedded in complex networks of trade, commerce, and the exchange of ideas between the Andes and Europe, Ananda Cohen Suarez also considers the ways in which artists and viewers worked through difficult questions of envisioning sacredness. This study brings to light the fact that, unlike the murals of New Spain, the murals of the Andes possess few direct visual connections to a pre-Columbian painting tradition; the Incas’ preference for abstracted motifs created a problem for visually translating Catholic doctrine to indigenous congregations, as the Spaniards were unable to read Inca visual culture. Nevertheless, as Cohen Suarez demonstrates, colonial murals of the Andes can be seen as a reformulation of a long-standing artistic practice of adorning architectural spaces with images that command power and contemplation. Drawing on extensive secondary and archival sources, including account books from the churches, as well as on colonial Spanish texts, Cohen Suarez urges us to see the murals not merely as decoration or as tools of missionaries but as visual archives of the complex negotiations among empire, communities, and individuals.

Book excerpt: . my parents don't like other people's children. Actually, I don't think they like their own children much.

Reading A Kaleidoscope/or June will bring back the late 1950's vividly to readers who lived at that time and bring it to life for those who did not.

Download or read book From Wolf to Supermutt and Everything In Between written by Erika K Gosi and published by Troubador Publishing Ltd. This book was released on 2022-05-03 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Erika adopted Mila, she naively believed that, like instant soup, she wouldn’t have to go through the process of cooking all the ingredients from scratch. She wouldn’t have to house train, obedience train or intensely socialise a mature dog. Mila quickly proved how misguided she was! Her favourite pastime was zealously chewing Persian rugs while the living room became her personal toilet. Alternatively, when asked to sit, lie down, or come, she’d throw herself on her back in submission and refuse to move. Thunder and fireworks sent her rushing around in a mindless panic, while the sight of other dogs turned her into a screaming banshee. Does this sound familiar? Introducing From Wolf to Supermutt and Everything In Between, a book to guide you and your dog to happiness and harmony. Predominantly written with information based on research studies, the book also includes anecdotes based on Erika’s own experience to give it the personal factor. Erika’s portrayal of all things canine begins with their evolution and domestication, the fundamental processes that triggered our ongoing relationship with dogs. Additionally, the book banishes a few myths, and explores the significance of nature vs nurture, including the importance of genetics, breeding and socialisation. Understanding how our dogs think and learn, knowing the source of canine behaviour problems, including the impact of detrimental and positive training methods, we can pre-empt many behaviour problems and positively shape our dogs into happy hounds.
