The Reef Guide documents some 800 reef fishes and invertebrates found along the east and south coasts of southern Africa. Following on the success of Dennis King’s earlier two titles, this impressive new guide features 578 species of fish and includes sections on anemones, starfish, snails, crabs and shrimps. Full-colour photographs and descriptive text for each species, along with useful and interesting information, make for easy identification. While focusing on southern Africa, the book is also applicable to the entire east coast of Africa, as well as the islands of the western Indian Ocean – Seychelles, Mauritius, Reunion, Madagascar, the Comoros and the Maldives. Indispensable for divers, snorkelers and rock-pool enthusiasts, as well as fishermen and marine aquarists.
REFUSE TO BE ORDINARY: 10 Championship Traits What does a champion look like? Surprisingly, a true champion may not be the kid who holds the trophy over his head. A champion is a student infected by a dream whose passion, discipline, competitiveness, poise, pride, humility, character, confidence, and courage separate him from the ranks of the ordinary. The author is not a celebrity coach who has written a book trying to cash in on a recent national championship. He's a blue-collar teacher/coach whose entire career has been spent in the trenches of public education devoted to the grassroots mission of helping boys become men. REFUSE TO BE ORDINARY takes the reader inside the locker room, inside the huddle of final timeouts, inside the American classroom, and inside the head of a veteran teacher who was inspired by the unique young men and women he taught and coached. Through specific reflection and personal stories of inspiration, this book reveals an intense slice of American amateur athletics never before documented with such a specific lens. 10 CHAMPIONSHIP TRAITS DREAMS - Champions dream in high definition. PASSION - Champions self-ignite. COMPETITIVENESS - Champions crave challenges. DISCIPLINE - Champions embrace repetition, habit and sacrifice. POISE - Champions relax. PRIDE - Champions care. HUMILITY - Champions show gratitude. CONFIDENCE- Champions visualize victory. CHARACTER - Champions choose right. COURAGE- Champions conquer fear.
We are all spiritually connected. To varying degrees, our experiences are universal. Through love, heartache, peace and discontent, we are given the opportunity to change our lives. Although we may not look similar, our struggles and questions about life are the same. With this book I hope to answer some of those questions. Your experiences hold a valuable lesson meant just for you. Take the good and bad and learn from them. "As Willis R. Whitney stated: Some people have thousands of reasons why they cannot do what they want to, when all they need is one reason why they can."
In this concentrated and detailed look at questions surrounding the act of sacrifice, Dennis King Keenan discusses both the role and the meaning of sacrifice in our lives. Building on recent philosophical discussions on the gift and transcendence, Keenan covers new ground with this exploration of the religious, psychological, and ethical issues that sacrifice entails. According to Keenan, sacrifice is paradoxically called to sacrifice itself. But what does this necessary, yet impossible condition mean for living an ethical life? Along the way to an answer, Keenan considers the views of Hegel, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Bataille, Lacan, Levinas, Blanchot, Irigaray, Derrida, Kristeva, Nancy, and Zizek. This thoughtful and provocative work affords a sophisticated philosophical treatment of the question of sacrifice.
The large and impressive monitor lizard (genus Varanus) has attracted a great deal of interest. Despite being wary and difficult to observe, monitors have received an extraordinary amount of attention from devoted students. Varanoid Lizards of the World is a comprehensive account of virtually everything important that is known about monitor lizards, beginning with detailed species accounts and proceeding to various modern comparative analyses. Where possible, people who have had detailed field experience with a particular species have assembled the species accounts. In the process of reporting what is known, the book also identifies what remains to be learned about these lizards. This volume stands as a model for showing how such a diverse monophyletic group can be exploited both to identify and to understand the actual course of evolution.
Contemporary continental philosophy stands in the wake ofthe work of G. W. F. Hegel (1770-1831). This invaluablecollection is the first to gather the most important works onHegel from the following luminaries of contemporary continental thought: Aclorno, Agamben, Althusser, Bataille, Blanchot, Butler, Deleuze, Derrida, Fanon, Gadamer, Hyppolite, Irigaray, Kojeve, Kristeva, Lacan, Levinas, Lukacs, Merleau-Ponty; Nancy, Sallis, Sartre, Wahl, and Zizek. Thewritings cover significant movements within continental philosophy, including phenomenology, existentialism, hermeneutics, psychoanalysis, critical theory, feminism, literary criticism, and cleconstruction. These thought-provoking analyses provide support for Merleau Panty's observation: "All of the great philosophical ideas of the past century--the philosophies of Marx and Nietzsche, phenomenology, German existentialism, and psychoanalysis--had their beginnings in Hegel."
