DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat is theologically and homiletically happening in 'prophetic' sermons? This empirical theological study offers an analysis of the prophetic dimension in contemporary practices of preaching, including sermons from Bonhoeffer, King and Tutu, and from Dutch local contexts. After a phenomenological opening, five theological concepts are extracted from the studied sermons: exposing destructiva; interrupting dominant discourses; recognising the Word; overcoming destructiva; and edifying the congregation. In this study, prophetic speech is reconstructed as an illuminative interplay between epiphanic and inductive aspects.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAs Carolyn See says, writing guides are like preachers on Sunday—there may be a lot of them, but you can’t have too many, and there’s always an audience of the faithful. And while Making a Literary Life is ostensibly a book that teaches you how to write, it really teaches you how to make your interior life into your exterior life, how to find and join that community of like-minded souls you’re sure is out there somewhere. Carolyn See distills a lifetime of experience as novelist, memoirist, critic, and creative-writing professor into this marvelously engaging how-to book. Partly the nuts and bolts of writing (plot, point of view, character, voice) and partly an inspirational guide to living the life you dream of, Making a Literary Life takes you from the decision to “become” a writer to three months after the publication of your first book. A combination of writing and life strategies (do not tell everyone around you how you yearn to be a writer; send a “charming note” to someone you admire in the industry five days a week, every week, for the rest of your life; find the perfect characters right in front of you), Making a Literary Life is for people not usually considered part of the literary loop: the non–East Coasters, the secret scribblers. With sagacity, a magical sense of humor, and an abiding belief in the possibilities offered to “ordinary” people living “ordinary” lives, Carolyn See has summed up her life’s work in a book so beguiling, irreverent, and giddily inspiring that you won’t even realize it’s changing your life until it already has.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKNoting that young children learn about food and nutrition through food preparation, eating together, play, science activities, and games, this resource guide addresses food learning and nutritional provisions in early childhood programs. The guide is designed to meet the needs of children and adults in child care centers, family child care programs, preschools, kindergartens, and before- and after-school programs. The guide presents six approaches to food learning with suggestions for many hands-on activities: (1) children's decision making; (2) science and mathematics; (3) food cycles; (4) language, drama, and social studies; (5) physical activities and motor skills; and (6) food selection, preparation, and presentation. Suggestions are also offered about food provision in early childhood settings. The chapters are: (1) "An Introduction to Food Foundations," discussing the values of foods and eating, adult roles in facilitating food events with children, and the kinds of learning children gain from a variety of food opportunities; (2) "A Framework for Learning about Food," focusing on key principles for formal and informal curricula, learning and teaching considerations, and the learning process; (3) "Approaches to Children's Food Learning," introducing the six approaches and including sample activities; (4) "Food and Nutrition Issues and Information," discussing nutrition guidelines, infants' and children's nutritional needs, special food needs, meal planning, safety and food hygiene, and information for parents; (5) "Making Decisions about Food Foundations," including information on children's rights, negotiating food foundations, sample food education and nutrition policies, and a management process for food issues in early childhood programs.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCutting-edge research on the visual cognition of scenes, covering issues that include spatial vision, context, emotion, attention, memory, and neural mechanisms underlying scene representation. For many years, researchers have studied visual recognition with objects—single, clean, clear, and isolated objects, presented to subjects at the center of the screen. In our real environment, however, objects do not appear so neatly. Our visual world is a stimulating scenery mess; fragments, colors, occlusions, motions, eye movements, context, and distraction all affect perception. In this volume, pioneering researchers address the visual cognition of scenes from neuroimaging, psychology, modeling, electrophysiology, and computer vision perspectives. Building on past research—and accepting the challenge of applying what we have learned from the study of object recognition to the visual cognition of scenes—these leading scholars consider issues of spatial vision, context, rapid perception, emotion, attention, memory, and the neural mechanisms underlying scene representation. Taken together, their contributions offer a snapshot of our current knowledge of how we understand scenes and the visual world around us. Contributors Elissa M.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book is an intriguing and intimate study of the dialogues forged between different forms of art, paintings and texts in particular. It entwines art with literature to create a complex yet marvellous mosaic of textures hitherto undiscussed in this manner. Reading, here, becomes both painting and travelling through Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness and the works of the French Impressionist painters of the nineteenth century. Through an exploration of the distinctive characteristics of the paintings of Monet, Manet, Renoir, Pissarro, Cézanne and even Van Gogh and Gauguin, this book tries to decipher the codes and symbols of Conrad’s enigmatic novella. By taking the help of intertextuality, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches, detours and retours through time and space, this book offers extensive readings of texts on art, literature and Conrad’s works. Reading Heart of Darkness in this manner emerges as a kind of journey through the continents of imperial Europe and of colonized Africa, through diverse cultures, imaginary geographies, psychological processes that separate one human from another, through the metaphors and metonymies of the modern malaise that vacillated from Darwinian theories of evolution to Nietzsche’s proclamation of the death of God.
