Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Karen Pape tells the story of how some children with early brain damage astounded everyone around them. The brain injury they suffered at or near birth had led to motor problems such as the awkward gait we associate with cerebral palsy. Yet they were able to run, kick a soccer ball, tap dance, and play tennis. This was not supposed to happen. It ran counter to the prevailing belief that the brain is hardwired and fixed. When Dr. Pape first shared her remarkable findings, she ran into fierce opposition from mainstream medicine. Yet this courageous neonatologist didn't back down. In her clinical practice, Pape helped many young brain-damaged children to significantly improve their movement. It led her to ask why some of them could run but not walk with the same ease. Her answer was astounding: By the time they learned to run, their brains had healed. The awkward walking gait was actually a bad habit acquired while the brain was still damaged. This is the power and the beauty of neuroplasticity, the brain's amazing ability to change and heal. It has revolutionized the treatment of adults who suffer stroke. Now, for the first time, this remarkable book shows that children with a brain injury at or near birth can get better, too. These stories of children's recovery and improvements are a revelation--surprising, inspiring, and illuminating. They offer real hope for some of the world's most vulnerable children and a better understanding of how the baby brain grows and recovers.

Book excerpt: Six years ago… After his brother’s death, Aiden Sharpe continued the military tradition of his family. Honorably Discharged, he received Psychiatric help at the VA Rehabilitation Center when he was drawn to her by her magnetic smile. She didn’t know she was his Bunny. He never told her. He never looked for her, he only hoped she was happy. His path was darker without her, but it was worth it if she was happy. Besides, he preferred a special type of give and take in relationships. A woman like that couldn’t possibly be interested in anything other than something vanilla, right? Six years ago… Aleksandr Volkov sat on a bench on the boardwalk when he heard a little boy cry and he saw her. His Printessa. With her parting words she’d shared with the child, Aleksandr and his best friend, Aiden Sharpe, established Price International and Sharpe Core. With her words, they were able to work out a deal and leave the family operations of Nikolai Volkov, Aleksandr's father. Aleksandr never looked for his Printessa. A kind-hearted woman like that couldn’t possibly have any interest in a man who knew his way around a cane and regularly shared, right?

With a thriving new bakery, a rekindled romance, and the support of her loved ones, that’s exactly what she got.

With undeniable chemistry, Carrie embarked on a new path that put a target on her and those around her. Will Aleksandr be able to live a life away from his role as heir to the Volkov Family? What darkness is behind Aiden's sparkling smile? Will Carrie’s new life crumble before her eyes? Read and discover why this throuple has become Enamored.

Download or read book Poverty and the Poor in the World s Religious Traditions written by William H. Brackney and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-12-01 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This detailed book is a resource for students, practitioners, and leaders interested in how the major world religions have understood poverty and responded to the poor. Poverty is a universal phenomenon across history, regardless of country or culture. Today, the demographics of the poor are on the rise globally: it is a critical issue. Religious traditions are another universal aspect of human societies, and nearly all religions include directives on how to respond to the poor and systemic poverty. How do the various religious traditions conceptualize poverty, and what do they view as the proper response to the poor? Poverty and the Poor in the World's Religious Traditions: Religious Responses to the Problem of Poverty brings together specialists on the religions of the world and their diverse viewpoints to identify how different religious traditions interact with poverty and being poor. It also contains excerpts of religious texts that readers can use as primary documents to illustrate themes such as identifying the poor, religious reasons for being poor, and responses (like charity and development) to the existence of poverty. This book serves as a powerful resource for students of subjects like international development, missiology, comparative religion, theology, social ethics, economics, and organizational leadership as well as for any socially concerned clergy of various faiths.
