Download or read book Seven Lives and One Great Love written by Lena Divani and published by Europa Editions. This book was released on 2014-05-06 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A haughty and hilarious cat narrates this tale about seducing a resistant human . . . Anyone who has ever lived with cats knows how cunning, tender, smart, ferocious, underhanded, ingenious, foolish, and completely adorable they can be. These words describe Sugar Zach to a T. This is the epic story of the love between Sugar Zach—in his seventh life, a keenly intelligent and observant cat—and the Damsel, a writer with a frenetic lifestyle and an apparent abhorrence of things feline. Sugar Zach’s powers of observation and analysis are unparalleled, and after six lives lived among people from all walks of life he has countless stories to tell and a remarkable talent for telling them. His real area of expertise, however, lies in his preternatural ability to domesticate his humans—whatever you do, don’t even suggest that the humans are the ones who domesticate him. Yet he is flummoxed by the Damsel’s indifference to his charms. But he is not going to let her coldness stop him: One way or another, he is going to insinuate himself into her life and her art. With wit and a broad repertoire of cultural references, Sugar Zach recounts his days and nights spent with the Damsel in a novel that fits squarely into the illustrious tradition of feline literature à la T. S. Eliot, Edgar Allan Poe, Charles Baudelaire, Charles Bukowski, and Louis-Ferdinand Céline.

Book excerpt: Talk Box supports teachers implementing the new curriculum, who are looking for fresh ideas with a focus on teaching talk skills, encouraging discussion and developing articulate children. It sets out different types of teaching involving children learning collaboratively through discussion with peers and centres on step-by-step lesson plans to develop hidden potential across the entire classroom. At the heart of the lesson plans is the ‘talk box’ - a collection of interesting objects which provide a focus for class discussion and where the activities are based on these linked ideas: • Young children need their teachers to help them make sense of the world; • The most effective medium for explaining, discussing, describing with children, is talk; • Children learn very well from one another when taught how to do so, and are a good resource for one another in the classroom; • Children may be able to talk, but they are not often aware what sort of talk can help them to get the best from their education; • Direct teaching of essential talk skills and understanding is straightforward and should be undertaken in school classrooms. The numerous lesson plans included in this book are each built around specific learning objectives for speaking and listening and cover subjects such as literacy, numeracy, science, citizenship, ICT and Computing. Each lesson includes a resources list and photocopiable worksheets and range from whole class to small group work. This book will help you teach children to engage in the educationally effective kind of discussion known as Exploratory Talk, where everyone’s viewpoint is considered, opinions are justified with reasons, and decisions are made together. This new edition includes updated curriculum links, new research findings, a home-school link section and contain additional EAL and SEN materials.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tales, stories, fables and stories for children, collection in Spanish illustrated in full color. Tales: Children's tales are short stories that include imaginative characters, exciting adventures and moral lessons or educational messages, to entertain children, stimulate their imagination, teach them about values such as friendship, courage or the importance of being kind, and often end with happy endings. Stories: Children's stories can be longer stories than fairy tales, with more elaborate plots and more developed characters. These stories can address a variety of themes, from fantasy and adventure to everyday life, allowing children to immerse themselves in different worlds and situations, fostering their curiosity and understanding of the world around them. Fables: Children's fables are short stories featuring anthropomorphic animals (animals that act and speak like humans) or elements of nature that convey a clear moral lesson.

Stories: A story is the narration of a fact, real or imaginary, that is done through oral or written language. In other words, a story is an account, usually brief, of a series of events that occurred in reality or in the imagination.

Download or read book Greed written by A. F. Robertson and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-05-03 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Greed' is a visceral insult. It jabs below the belt, evoking guilty sensations of gluttony and lust. It taunts the rich and powerful, penetrating the cover of modern ideologies and institutions. Today, old-fashioned accusations of greed drag the larger-than-life corporate fat cats down to human bodily proportions, accusing them of gain without genuine growth. This lively new book is a wide-ranging inquiry into how greed works in our lives and in the world at large. Western philosophy has intellectualized human passions, explaining and justifying our expansive desires as 'rational self-interest'. However, an examination of the visceral power of greed tells us something about the apathy of modern theory. It shows us how confused we have become about the meanings of growth, creating false and morally hazardous distinctions between biology on the one hand, and history on the other. With greed as a guide, this book considers how the integrity of these meanings may be restored. This remarkable book will be of interest to anyone concerned about the morality of economic behavior in the modern world. It will be an important text for students in the social sciences, especially in anthropology, sociology, development studies, and business studies.

From the dragon's remains, the King's sorcerers construct a magic weapon - an orb - that will serve to protect Agostine's homeland from harm. When the orb's power proves too much for King Gamaeon to handle however, it is up to Agostine to set things right. In the conflict that follows, the orb mysteriously vanishes from all known existence, not to resurface again until generations later. The worlds of Medieval Fantasy and Futuristic Science Fiction collide when the mystic orb is finally unearthed after thousands of years in hiding. Lieutenant Cale Tanner and his Special Ops team quickly discover the all-powerful nature of the mysterious orb after failing in their attempt to arrest its bearer, the renegade General Thadeon Marloc. It does not take long before Marloc uses his newly acquired omnipotence to rise up against the galaxy's governing power. In order to restore hope for themselves and their people, Cale and his Operatives must unlock the secrets of a world long since forgotten. What they discover defies all practical logic, and soon the lines between history and legend, between facts and myth, are quickly blurred.
