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.
