Download or read book No Handicap to Dance written by Gina Levete and published by Souvenir Press. This book was released on 1982 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "And what do you hope to achieve?" asked the consultant at Roehampton Hospital when Gina Levete proposed that she give weekly classes in creative movement to his young thalidomide and spina bifida patients. "Fun," she replied. Fun, and the emotional release that it brings, are what Gina believes to be lacking in the lives of those cut off from social communication by the restrictions of physical disability, mental handicap or imprisonment. Everyone, she says, is born with a sense of rhythm and responds naturally to music and movement, and in years of dedicated hard work she has proved her point. No Handicap to Dance describes how teachers of dance can use creative improvisation, mime and dance with different groups of handicapped people. Method classes and workshops are outlined in detail, with advice on special techniques for those with severe physical or mental disabilities. Gina holds her classes for able and disabled students alike; the fact that some of them may have only limited mobility does not prevent them from expressing themselves in some way, even if they can only nod their heads or tap their feet. Gina's first small efforts have now grown into a wide-ranging organisation called Shape, with branches throughout Britain and Europe, working to bring artists of all disciplines into a network serving disadvantaged people and helping them to share the enjoyment of participation in many creative activities. From initial scepticism, institutions have come to recognize the visible benefits that creative expression can bring to people whose lives are often without beauty or freedom. -- from back cover.

Book excerpt: New 2008 Released Book Dares Look At Golf From A Different Viewpoint. With a glut of books available on Golf, how refreshing to see a book that is completely different. Author Stephen Outram, who has been playing the game since he was ten, explores the nooks and crannies many golfers normally ignore. Combining this with coaching examples, Access tools and a slightly irreverent humour, it leaves a powerful mark in the golfing world. Unlike most other golf books, There's No Sex In Golf! has little to say about your swing or what you need to fix or eliminate from your game. It asks you to add-to your game and create an abundance of choice, possibility and joy. Phrases like 'golf secrets' are the tools of those claiming they have the answer to golf, but the facts are that until you are willing to stop competing to lose, none of it matters. Stephen Outram's There's No Sex In Golf! will assist you in a simple relaxed style so you will no longer be scratching your head about the 'secrets' of golf.

Book excerpt: “A sensitive look at the social and political barriers that deny disabled people their most basic civil rights.”—The Washington Post “The primer for a revolution.”—The Chicago Tribune “Nondisabled Americans do not understand disabled ones. This book attempts to explain, to nondisabled people as well as to many disabled ones, how the world and self-perceptions of disabled people are changing. It looks at the rise of what is called the disability rights movement—the new thinking by disabled people that there is no pity or tragedy in disability and that it is society’s myths, fears, and stereotypes that most make being disabled difficult.”—from the Introduction

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1973, this book considers the differences between mainstream schools and special educational needs schools, for children with learning disabilities. It contains a wealth of research data, case history material and reference to existing literature, designed to answer many questions which parents, heads, and schoolteachers have asked. Questions considered include whether children with disabilities do as well in ordinary schools as children without, whether they are as happy and well adjusted, and how they fit into the social structure of the class. The book also looks at whether much teasing occurs and how practical difficulties can be overcome.

Download or read book The Equitable Forest written by Carol J. Pierce Colfer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-09-30 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there continues to be refinement in defining and assessing sustainable management, there remains the urgent need for policies that create the conditions that support sustainability and can halt or slow destructive practices already underway. Carol Colfer and her contributors maintain that standardized solutions to forest problems from afar have failed to address both human and environmental needs. Such approaches, they argue, often neglect the knowledge that local stakeholders have accumulated over generations as forest managers and do not address issues involving the diversity and well-being of groups within communities. The contributors note that these problems persist despite clear evidence that equity and social relationships, including gender roles, are important factors in the ways that communities adapt to change and manage forest resources overall. The Equitable Forest offers an alternative to traditional, externally organized strategies for forest management. Termed adaptive collaborative management (ACM), the approach tries to better acknowledge the diversity, complexity, and unpredictability of human and natural systems. ACM works to strengthen local institutions and use the knowledge and capacity of groups in local communities to enhance the health and well-being of both forests and the people who live in and around them. The Equitable Forest provides a detailed explanation of the descriptive, analytical, and methodological tools of ACM, along with accounts of early stages of its implementation in tropical regions of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Although the contributors make it clear that it is too soon to evaluate the efficacy of ACM, their work is supported by evidence that rural communities do make important contributions when involved in formal forest management; that management strategies are most effective when flexible and tailored to local contexts; and that efforts by outside governmental and nongovernmental organizations to support local management are feasible from the policymaking perspective, and desirable for their impact on human, economic, and environmental well-being.

Download or read book Paul a Jew on the Margins written by Calvin J. Roetzel and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paul's messianism put him at the margins of Pharisaism, his preaching placed him in tension with the Synagogue, and his Gospel set him on the outer border of Hellenistic religion. This book explores the tensions and creativity that Paul's marginality let loose. In six short chapters, Roetzel explains Paul's complex relationship to first century Judaism and elements of the early church. In so doing, he tackles a great many of the most disputed areas of Pauline theology: How can we speak of Paul as a convert? How far did Paul accept the apocalyptic myth? What are we to make of Paul's theology of weakness? How far did Paul embrace pluralism? And how could Paul preach that Gentiles shared in God's election without excluding Jews?
