Life Space Management is a book that throws up a new concept of enhancing individual & organisational effectiveness by managing the parameters of Life Space, a word coined by Kurt Lewin. Our entire effectiveness in life depends on how well we create space with others in the environment. All of us intrinsically yet unknowingly practice the art of creating the right space, whenever we interact with others. Our entire relationship blooms and grows or diminishes based on the quantum of life space we create with them. The author has researched on this new subject and put across his views to help the reader evolve and grow more effective in life.

The papers of this special issue share a common message: what is missing is not the development of complexity theory for human activity systems but a better understanding of complexity acting in society.

The Global Economy that sustains the civilized world is destroying the biosphere. As a result, civilization, like the Titanic, is on a collision course with disaster. But changing course via the body politic appears to be well nigh impossible, given that much of the populace lives in denial. Why is that? And how did we get into such a fix? In this essay, biologists James Coffman and Donald Mikulecky argue that the reductionist model of the world developed by Western civilization misrepresents life, undermining our ability to regulate and adapt to the accelerating anthropogenic transformation of the world entrained by that very model. An alternative worldview is presented that better accounts for both the relational nature of living systems and the developmental phenomenology that constrains their evolution. Development of any complex system reinforces specific dependencies while eliminating alternatives, reducing the diversity that affords adaptive degrees of freedom: the more developed a system is, the less potential it has to change its way of being. Hence, in the evolution of life most species become extinct. This perspective reveals the limits that complexity places on knowledge and technology, bringing to light our hubristically dysfunctional relationship with the natural world and increasingly tenuous connection to reality. The inescapable conclusion is that, barring a cultural metamorphosis that breaks free of deeply entrenched mental frames that made us what we are, continued development of the Global Economy will lead inexorably to the collapse of civilization.

Text in Hebrew. The original clay sculptures depicted in this Yom Kippur prayer book enhance the prayers by acting as a visual aid to the text. Every child will now be able to better understand the meaning and essence of this holy day celebrated by Jews throughout the world.

Today's students will become tomorrow's knowledge workers. How can librarians and teachers help children develop the critical thinking and information problem-solving skills they will need to be confident and flexible users of information in the 21st century? This unique manual adapts the innovative and effective iSearch research process for grades three through eight. Here is a blueprint for helping students formulate questions leading them to personal discoveries, as well as strategies for teaching them to fashion those discoveries into information of their own. In addition to the educational theory behind the unique iSearch information seeking process, the authors provide lesson-plans, techniques, and tools for making the information search process an adventure for students. Easy-to-use lessons tied to current technology applications demonstrate on-line teacher/librarian collaboration, online research tools and Web 2.0 resources. You get great tips for incorporating on-line journals, notetaking tools, graphic organisers and online products and presentations. The final chapter focuses on authentic assessment. There are examples and links to formative assessment tools and rubrics that will let you and your students know they're doing a good job. There's even a companion wiki site with easily reproducible handouts, electronic student products created using the iSearch process, and an opportunity to join the discussion on the digital iSearch. Tech savvy students disconnected from teachers become more motivated by these instruction methods. Using this effective guide, you'll be able to use the iSearch methods to help your students develop the crucial search skills called for in the American Association of School Librarian's Standards for the 21st Century Learner and ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education).

This book authoritatively authenticates the scientific accuracy of the Bible with new discoveries. The new scientific discoveries in this book include how the universal gravitation in all forms of matter is due to the residual effect of the strong force beyond sub-nuclear range. Also, this book reveals how the four fundamental forces of nature are unified in the strong force of the gamma ray with new scientific discoveries on the structure of matter, which simplify the complications of the theory known as quantum chromo dynamics.

What's it like outside? And what are you going to do about it?
Every morning, before heading to school or out to play, kids want to know what the weather is going to be like that day. Is it a day for building a snowman, constructing a sandcastle, or planting a garden? Will they be stuck inside because of rain at recess? Or stuck at home because of snow? And what about tomorrow? "Explore Weather and Climate " will help kids understand the "how" and "why" behind the "what." They'll learn how wind, sun, and water combine to form the weather we experience every day. They'll find out why the weather gets extreme. "Explore Weather and Climate " offers engaging text reinforced with 25 hands on projects that include creating a storm in a bottle, touching the clouds, and eating an edible climate map, resulting in an unforgettable understanding of these forces of nature.

As the "U.S.S. Titan" ventures beyond the outermost reaches of known space, the telepaths in her crew -- including Diplomatic Officer Deanna Troi -- are overwhelmed by an alien cryof distress, leading the ship to the scene of a shocking act of carnage: a civilization of interstellar "whalers" preying upon and exploiting a familiar species of sentient spaceborne giants.

Appalled but reluctant to rush to judgment, Captain William Riker and his crew investigate, discovering a cosmic spawning ground in a region of active star formation -- the ecosystem for a bewildering array of diverse but similarly vast life-forms. While attempting to negotiate an end to the victimization of these creatures, Riker's crew inadvertently grants them the means to defeat their hunters' purpose...only to learn that things are not exactly as they seem.
