Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Russia’s Iron Curtain to Burma’s Bamboo Curtain, Sikkim to South Korea, this biography follows the struggle of a young girl whose life was a cross-continental roller coaster ride that soared and plunged from one country to another. By the time she was 15, Ashwini Devare had lived in 5 countries. Born in Moscow at the height of the Cold War, her journey continued to the other side of the Cold War, to America, a Superpower mired in the Vietnam War. Sikkim, a forgotten mountain country tucked in the Himalayas became her next home, against the backdrop of a pro-democracy movement that would overthrow the monarchy. From Sikkim to Switzerland, where the challenges of assimilation in a deeply conservative country, left long-term scars on a young, impressionable mind. As a teenager in India during a turbulent time in the nation’s history, she witnessed the upheaval and anarchy that followed in the wake of the assassination of its prime minister. In South Korea, she attended college with US soldiers in the heart of a military complex, while student demonstrations convulsed the country. She was a spectator to the dawn of democracy that rose over the Land of the Rising Calm. From being an observer of historical political events to becoming a journalist, her globetrotting life that began in the Soviet Union culminates in the tropical foliage of Singapore.

When her grandmother falls ill and bequeaths to Kate a small portrait of a woman who bears a striking resemblance to Kate's mother, Kate uncovers a mystery that may upend everything she thought she knew.

Download or read book The Fabulous Lost Found and the Little Ukrainian Mouse written by Mark Pallis and published by Neu Westend Press. This book was released on 2020-03-31 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A little mouse walks into the Lost & Found, but can only speak Ukrainian. How will Mr and Mrs Frog figure out what the mouse is missing...? Aimed at children aged 2-7, the unique 'Story-powered language learning method' combines humour, story and emotion to gently and memorably introduce kids to more than forty simple and fun Ukrainian words and phrases. "The kids were so busy laughing they didn't realise they were learning." Kyle Buchannan, Dad of two, London. It's a bilingual Ukrainian English children's book with a difference, that helps lay the foundations of a love of languages. Reviews: "I love that I can introduce my kids to a new language without it feeling like homework." Zoe Reynolds, UK "Let's read it again." Noah, aged 4.5 "Utterly charming story, making use of children's natural approach to learning language" Madalena Xanthopoulou, We live Languages. "A wonderful book to introduce a new language into the classroom." Rohan Plunkett, Deputy Head, Akiva Primary School. How does the Story Powered Language Learning Method work? Unlike a Ukrainian picture dictionary, traditional Ukrainian books for kids, dual language Ukrainian English books, Ukrainian vocabulary book, or other Ukrainian language learning book for kids, the Fabulous Lost and Found uses the 'Story-powered Language Learning Method' to teach children Ukrainian by tapping into a child's natural abilities. There are three steps: We create an emotionally engaging and funny story for children and adults to enjoy together, just like any of the other Ukrainian books for toddlers. Studies show that social interaction, like enjoying a book together, is critical in language learning. Through the story, we introduce a relatable character who speaks only in the new language. This helps build empathy and a positive attitude towards people who speak different languages. These are both important aspects in laying the foundations for lasting language acquisition in a child's life. As the story in this Ukrainian picture book progresses, the child naturally works with the characters to discover the meanings of a wide range of fun new words and phrases. Strategic use of humour ensures that this subconscious learning is rewarded with laughter; the child feels good and the first seeds of a lifelong love of language are sown. Message from the Author Mark Pallis There is a special magic about learning words another language and using them: I truly think it warms the heart. I've learnt jokes or songs in ten languages so far and it's brought me so much joy. This Ukrainian toddler book (Ukrainian books for baby) is first and foremost a really enjoyable story, but it's also my way of helping little learners engage with a new language, empathise with strangers and ultimately build a love of languages. And it happens without them realising. Any parent who has ever tried to smuggle vegetables into pasta sauce will know that you can get a lot of good stuff into things without kids realising. This book is the same! Ukrainian language learning for kids can be fun. I want you all to have fun together and enjoy the story. All the learning is a bonus; the icing on the cake (or the extra veg in the sauce!). The idea that after a few reads, kids will be able to go up to a native speaker and tell them in their own language: 'I've lost my hat' fills me with joy. Imagine how proud the child will feel. And imagine how proud you'll feel too! I hope you have as much fun reading this Ukrainian English book for kids as I had writing it. Learn Ukrainian kids!

Download or read book Calcium in Human Health written by Connie M. Weaver and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-11-10 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nutrition and Health Series of books have had great success because each volume has the consistent overriding mission of providing health professionals with texts that are essential because each includes (1) a synthesis of the state of the science; (2) timely, in-depth reviews by the leading researchers in their respective fields; (3) extensive, - to-date fully annotated reference lists; (4) a detailed index; (5) relevant tables and figures; (6) identification of paradigm shifts and the consequences; (7) virtually no overlap of information between chapters, but targeted, interchapter referrals; (8) suggestions of areas for future research; and (9) balanced, data-driven answers to patient/health prof- sionals’ questions that are based on the totality of evidence rather than the findings of any single study. The series volumes are not the outcome of a symposium. Rather, each editor has the potential to examine a chosen area with a broad perspective, both in subject matter as well as in the choice of chapter authors. The international perspective, especially with regard to public health initiatives, is emphasized where appropriate. The editors, whose trainings are both research- and practice-oriented, have the opportunity to develop a primary objective for their book; define the scope and focus, and then invite the leading authorities from around the world to be part of their initiative. The authors are encouraged to provide an overview of the field, discuss their own research, and relate the research findings to potential human health consequences.
