Download or read book Sipa written by David Christian Gruetzmacher and published by Christian Gruetzmacher. This book was released on 2020-04-13 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sipa - The man who followed the bees is an amazing, enchanting and deep tale of a man's life journey. Starting when Sipa turns 14 and follows him all the way to his 50th year. This short story takes you on the adventurous path of Sipa who seeks both earthly progress and spiritual development and who at crucial moments in his life is guided by the bees. Ann Macmillan says about it: "The genre of this book is reminiscent of those of the ‘Tales by Trees’ series. Christian’s story is tiny, but powerful in the telling; it could be read within the space of a train journey yet the images created through Sipa's journey will last much longer! The bees with whom Sipa connects as a young man, lead him through extraordinary life-experiences before finally seemingly to desert him. At that crucial moment Sipa understands what the Bees are telling him: that he is responsible now for creating his own next challenge which turns out to be the most herculean task of his life. Destiny allows him enough time to see the first seeds of his efforts germinate, and that's when he hears once again, the returning sound of his friends. . . This is an exceptional allegorical tale that I couldn't put down till it was finished--it will remain in my memory for a long time to come!" Here a short extract from Christian Gruetzmacher’s (honey-bee-lover-researcher and founder of the Bee-Observatory: bee-observatory.org) debut: "…. All along that lane there were thousands of flowers on the ground, the shrubs and bushes, and now within that abundance there were bees, bees everywhere, many more than usual. All sorts of bees! Big ones, small ones, furry ones, shiny ones - and they all seemed to be busier and louder than they usually were. Sipa liked that. He thought: “Maybe it’s a good sign!” So, he speeded up, walking very briskly along this forest lane, noticing all the time that the bees were always there, no matter how fast he walked - they were around him all the time! He took that as a clear sign and decided that he would follow the bees no matter where they would lead him, and he did - all day long!"

Once commonly known as "pre-fab," today's modern building systems employ innovative materials and techniques to create residential or commercial structures in a factory setting in a fraction of the time it takes to site build.

This book was released on 1997-09-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers concrete and practical ideas for implementing content-based instruction—using subject matter rather than grammar—through eleven case studies of cutting-edge models in a broad variety of languages, academic settings, and levels of proficiency. The highly innovative models illustrate content-based instruction programs for both commonly and less-commonly taught languages—Arabic, Croatian, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Russian, Serbian, and Spanish—and for proficiency levels ranging from beginners to fluent speakers. They include single-teacher and multi-teacher contexts and such settings as typical language department classrooms, specialty schools, intensive language programs, and university programs in foreign languages across the curriculum. All of the contributors are pioneers and practitioners of content-based instruction, and the methods they present are based on actual classroom experiences. Each describes the rationale, curriculum design, materials, and evaluation procedures used in an actual curriculum and discusses the implications of the approach for adult language acquisition.

Download or read book Natural Stone and Architectural Heritage written by Giovanna Antonella Dino and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-09-23 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is made up of contributions dealing with heritage stones from different countries around the world. The stones are described, as well as their use in vernacular and contemporaneous architecture. Heritage stones are those stones that have special significance in human culture. Examples include some very important stones that have been either neglected because they are no longer extracted, or stones that have great significance in commercial terms but knowledge of their national and/or international heritage has not been well documented. In this collection of articles, we have tried to spread awareness of architectural heritage around the world, the natural stones that have been used in its construction, and the need to preserve historical quarries that once provided the source of such stones. Historical quarries are linked to regional culture and tradition. Because of the specific technical and aesthetical characteristics of heritage stones, which have lasted for centuries, these historical quarries should be preserved to be able to use the stones for the proper restoration of monuments and historical buildings to avoid negative actions that can be observed in many places in the restoration of buildings, which are some times part of World Heritage sites. The final intention of this book is to continuosly grow the interest on this fascinating subject of heritage stones.
