First published in 1969, Environmental Studies aims to fill up a
major gap by surveying the ground for a structural theory of
environmental studies for schools and colleges of education. This
is not a handbook or manual of environmental studies but an
exercise in curriculum development. It begins by examining the
terminology and concepts employed in discussing environmental
studies. The historical development of the idea is then traced and
the relationship between environment and learning analysed. The
conclusions reached from these inquiries are then used as a basis
for outlining the aims and organisations of environmental studies
courses, and practical application of such programmes is
considered. Topical and lucid, this book is a must read for anyone
interested to know the basics of environmental studies and also
relevant for teachers and educationists.
Originally published in 1972, this book is a systematic analysis of
the objectives and methods of history teaching. The book considers
the criticisms of the 1960s and 70s of history as a subject and the
pressures for its replacement in the school curriculum. It examines
the complex psychological background of learning history and
suggests that historical understanding makes an important
contribution to cognitive growth. It also stresses the important
part played by historical material in the emotional and imaginative
life of the child. Concluding with a discussion of practical
classroom methods, the author proposes objectives and
characteristic concepts of the subject which may be embodied in all
levels of teaching.

This is an account of a dumb California kid awakening to the
reality-the spiritual presence and power-of divine Love. It's a
story that includes successes and failures. It's a record of
learning humility and patience while God was breaking through the
dullness of the human mind to reach the author with Her saving
Christ ... and teach some difficult lessons, a couple of which may
evoke a bit of controversy. Gleams of divine Love is universal in
its outlook, and free from denominational reference, bias and
jargon. Starting with MOVING OFF THE FENCE, and GETTING OUR SOIL
RIGHT, it illustrates the need for individuals, who wish to make
spiritual progress, to not be paralyzed by indecision-our need to
commit to going forward, in whatever discipline we might be
interested in. Also examined are some of the wrong reasons for
joining, or remaining in, a religion . . . and what types of
personal assessment are most beneficial for making true headway. In
DOES GOD HAVE A HAIRY CHEST?, and EVOLUTION: A FORK IN THE ROAD,
the author shares his understanding of God . . . including a lively
collection of examples. THE JESUS OF THE GOSPEL OF JOHN gives some
interesting new insights into Jesus' essential character-and that
of the New Testament as a whole-while WHAT IS COMMUNION? looks
deeply into the author's subjective experience in learning to
worship, adore and feel the presence and power of God, infinite
Spirit, divine Love. SATISFYING OUR NEED FOR AFFECTION,
COMPANIONSHIP & SEX is an unflinching, Scriptures-based rebuke
to misogynistic and anti-LGBT thinking, taking to task, for
example, questionable teachings of Matthew's and Paul's . . . and
bringing out Divine Love's Twelve Quelles About Sex (pronounced
"k-VELL-es," after the German) (more about these can be reviewed at
the book's website - 'gleams-of-divine-love dot info') . . . . . .
while the closing LIVING THE MAXIMUM LIFE discusses important
healings and lessons the author has experienced, which have led to
some rather striking conclusions. All told, GLEAMS OF DIVINE LOVE
brings the reader into a vigorous consideration of spiritual
reality, and gives an uplifting sense of God's nearness.
