This handsome catalogue accompanies an exhibition celebrating the bicentenary of the 60-year reign of King George III. It presents one mezzotint portrait for each year of his reign. Mad about Mezzotint traces the history of mezzotint in the reign of King George III by looking at three aspects of the art form: the astonishing method of mezzotint, the absorbing history of the form in the late eighteenth century and Regency period and the endless fascination with London as a subject. Although the mezzotint originated in Germany as early as 1642, its golden age came in England in the eighteenth century. Its beauty lay in its ability to create the subtlety of tone found in an oil painting. Crowds marvelled at the new technique and seized upon the opportunity to popularize their work and disseminate their images more widely. Conditions in eighteenth-century London were ripe for this revolution in printing. England had a new king and queen on the throne, an ever-expanding court and flourishing commercial interests overseas. The city of London was expanding at an astonishing rate and money was pouring into the capital. This fully illustrated publication includes an introduction on the history of mezzotint and full catalogue of the works, as well as indexes of artists and persons depicted. Artists featured include Valentine Green, John Hoppner, John Jones, Joshua Reynolds, George Romney and Charles Turner. People depicted include King George, George, Prince of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, Admiral Horatio Nelson and Earl and Lady Spencer.

This Siddur concentrates on restoring the Shabbat service back to the 1st century C.E. times when the Temple still stood and when Y'shua walked the earth. Unlike most Siddurs, Messianic or Judaism, this Siddur focuses on what was done in Israel in the 1st century C.E. and not what was done in Babylon, as the current Siddurs of today follow. ( The timeline that this Siddur is constructed from is before the first century common era up to the time of the second printed siddur of Saadia Gaon.-about 950 c.e.) As well many Messianic Siddurs whatever their view of what Messianic Judaism is, try to blend their Messianic Judaism with what is being done in current Judaism (Mainly Orthodox), never realizing that current Judaism has gone through numerous changes and only in minor detail still reflects the Second Temple times. In constructing this Siddur, I followed all the Jewish guidelines, protocalls, formulas and goals of all the prayers, but wrote them to reflect belief in Y'shua as the Torah Observant Jewish Messiah. Directions for each of the services included in this Siddur are given before the index. A Passover Haggadah is included in the back of the book. In addition to all the extras that this Siddur has, there are 35 pages of notes and commentary included. This Siddur is not a true "Large Print," however nearly all of the fonts range from 12-14. Hardcover available at www.Lulu.com Originally, I had released the "Shamar Emet Deluxe Edition" which included everything that this Siddur contains, but noticed a number of areas that needed improvement. The fonts in the original release were a bit small, (8-10 fonts) so in this edition, they range from 12-14 (very few and only book titles in the "Extra's section in 10 font). It was also apparent that the notes on the bottom of the page created an unnecessary clutter. To correct this, most of the notes were moved to the back of the Siddur, with only a few notes on the Siddur pages that I felt were necessary. In addition more notes/commentary were added to the back of the Siddur that were not in the original Siddur. In the original Siddur people were finding the way the instructions were presented at the bottom of the page confusing. To rectify this problem and make things easier, the instructions have been re-written more clearly and placed before the index. (A Parashot Reading list has also been added, you will still need to consult a schedule for the proper weeks reading list.) Since the release of the "Deluxe Edition," I have learned a lot and have added to the benedictions and prayers as well as the insights. The layout of the English/Hebrew/Transliteration has been improved.. Hope you enjoy this Edition and may G-d bless you R' David Isaac The following are included in this Edition: Parashot List (Includes Readings for Rosh Chodesh), Directions given for each Service Includes the following Services: Season of our Freedom- Four Week Preparation for Pesach Shabbat haGadol, Counting of the Omer, Announcement of the New Moon, Rosh Chodesh, Passover Haggadah, Four Special Sabbaths: Shekalim/ Zachor/ Para/ Hahodesh, Includes Optional Prayers that can be added to Service: Disciple's Prayer (a.k.a -The L-rd's Prayer), The Havineinu, Prayer of Rabbi Judah the Prince, This Siddur also contains 35 pages of notes/ commentary

The World Cafe process has been used by tens of thousands of people around the world to tackle real-life issues. Based on seven key principles, it begins with small, intimate conversations at Cafe -style tables; these gatherings then link and build on each other as people move between groups and cross-pollinate ideas. In this way, Cafe learning enables even very large groups to think together creatively in a single, connected conversation. This complete resource explains the Cafe concept and provides readers with the tools they need to get started. Each chapter opens with stories from business, education, government, and community organizations, each a dramatic example of how leaders are using this process in the real world. Such stories underline the Cafe 's immediate, practical implications for meeting and conference design, strategy formation, knowledge creation, and large-scale systems change. The book includes a foreword by best-selling author Margaret J. Wheatley, an afterword by author Peter Senge, and real-world stories of the Cafe process in action at Hewlett-Packard, the nation of Singapore, and the University of Texas.

In Science Myths Unmasked Volume 2, David Rudel continues to expose common errors in science education. This sequel takes the discussion into the realm of physical science, rectifying commonly taught misconceptions about topics covered in chemistry and physics courses, including combustion, simple machines, states of matter, phase changes, electricity, and light.

Rudel's accessible style makes Science Myths Unmasked a worthwhile read for life-long learners and a great gift for bright high school students interested in all the myths they have been taught by inaccurate textbooks. State-adopted textbooks perpetrate (and perpetuate) a shocking degree of misinformation, largely because they are less interested in conveying accurate science than in training students to bubble in the right oval on multiple-choice, standardized tests.

Rudel provides thorough background for each topic, empowering science teachers to sculpt the material to match the needs of their students. Numerous illustrations and suggested experiments complement the coverage, portraying precisely why many standard explanations are false and how we can better fulfill our obligation to provide genuine science to middle school and high school students.
