Book excerpt: The first book in the time-bending mythological saga, the Echo Trilogy. Their love is destined to shatter the boundaries of time… Archaeology grad student Alexandra Larson's world is turned upside down when her mother shares her deepest, darkest secret—that she doesn't know the true identity of Lex's father. The revelation sparks a change within Lex, and her dreams become far too real. She sees things she shouldn't be able to see…knows things she couldn't possibly know. Terrifying things. Deadly things. To distract her from the surreal changes taking over her life, Lex leaps at the chance to join an Egyptian excavation run by Oxford's enigmatic Professor Marcus Bahur. But the distraction might be more than she bargained for. While deciphering the secrets of a mysterious stone tablet, Lex falls headlong into a prophecy created by a dying god over four millennia ago. She must rely on her frightening new psychic powers to dig up the truth. And it doesn't take long for her visions to convince her that both Professor Bahur and his excavation are much more than they seem… The past clashes with the present in this paranormal saga of ancient prophecies and warring gods. If you like Egyptian mythology, steamy romance, time-bending mysteries, and complex characters, then you'll love this sprawling time travel adventure.

Download or read book The Book of Rumba Strums for Spanish Classical and Flamenco Guitar written by Elysa Hochman and published by Mel Bay Publications. This book was released on 2023-05-24 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome to the exciting world of rumba strums and some of the most fun you can have with the guitar! In these pages, authoritative flamenco guitarist, founder of New York Guitar Academy, Quarantined Quartet and Jay & Lee Rumba Flamenca Group, Elysa Hochman demonstrates 25 rumba strumming patterns plus two combinations, giving each a name so that they might be accurately discussed and combined to form other hybrid patterns. Having originated among African slaves in Cuba, the term rumba can represent several unrelated musical styles; by the early 20th century, however, an up-tempo version had caught-on with flamenco musicians in Spain and the cultural cross-fertilization process was complete. Like the rasgueado techniques common to flamenco, rumba strumming has remained largely a mystery to non-flamenco guitarists— until now! Using standard notation, tablature and online audio and video recordings, Hochman clearly defines each rumba strumming pattern and illustrates them in typical chord progressions and voicings used in Spanish, classical, and flamenco guitar. This book is essential for any guitarist interested in becoming proficient in rhythm guitar and/or the nuevo flamenco genre of music. The book culminates with a useful “Index of Rumba Strums” enabling you to build your own rumba strumming patterns and bring your audience to their feet!

Download or read book Clinical Approaches to Emergent Literacy Intervention written by Laura M. Justice and published by Plural Publishing. This book was released on 2006-11 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This seminal text provides a scholarly overview of evidence-based approaches to emergent literacy intervention as a necessary component of clinical practice in speech-language pathology. Numerous books are available on the topic of emergent literacy, yet few are developed specifically for the speech-language pathologist. The scope of this book is comprehensive yet focused: it is tailored to identify state-of-the-art approaches on a range of topics in the area of emergent literacy, yet focuses its emphasis on children from toddlerhood to kindergarten. This period corresponds to the emergent literacy years, which precedes children’s transition to beginning reading. Each chapter provides scientifically cited background information relevant to the content of the chapter before discussing the "How To" and the "Why." Figures, tables, and charts throughout the text are easily accessible to the busy practicing clinician. By providing a usable integration of theory and research, it encourages readers to think about building early foundations in literacy to promote healthy early development, and emphasizes the specific approaches speech-language pathologists need to employ when targeting literacy in childhood intervention. Designed for speech-language pathologists at both pre-professional and post-graduate levels, the book will also be of value to reading specialists, literacy coaches, special educators, preschool and kindergarten teachers, and others.

Download or read book The Japanese Macaques written by Naofumi Nakagawa and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-09 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) have been studied by primatologists since 1948, and considerable knowledge of the primate has been accumulated to elucidate the adaptation of the species over time and to distinct environments in Japan. The Japanese macaque is especially suited to intragenera and interpopulation comparative studies of behavior, physiology, and morphology, and to socioecology studies in general. This book, the most comprehensive ever published in English on Japanese macaques, is replete with contributions by leading researchers in field primatology. Highlighted are topics of intraspecific variations in the ecology and behaviors of the macaque. Such variations provide evidence of the ecological determinants on this species’ mating and social behaviors, along with evidence of cultural behavior. The book also addresses morphology, population genetics, recent habitat change, and conflicts with humans, and attests to the plasticity and complex adaptive system of macaque societies. The valuable information in this volume is recommended reading for researchers in primatology, anthropology, zoology, animal behavior, and conservation biology.
