The Theory Books of the DAVID CARR GLOVER PIANO LIBRARY are written
in "programed instruction" style, one of the most effective means
of learning in modern education. Programed instruction is based on
three generally accepted principles: 1. The material is presented
in small steps called "frames." 2. The student makes an immediate
written response to each frame so that his learning is constantly
checked. 3. The student knows if his answer is correct. The Theory
Books are written for the Preparatory Age piano student. However,
the fundamentals of music are presented in a logical order making
the books useful for any beginner. The Theory books are correlated
to the DAVID CARR GLOVER PIANO LIBRARY, but can be used with any
course on music of this level of advancement.

The explosive third novel in the Ewert Grens-Piet Hoffmann trilogy,
which began with Three Seconds. Stockholm, Sweden. Seventy-three
refugees have been found dead, suffocated in a container at Varta
harbour. Niamey, Niger. Ewert Grens arrives in a city he's never
heard of, in search of a man he never thought he would see again.
Piet Hoffmann has again got himself in too deep, infiltrating a
West African trafficking ring. He thinks he has two weeks to
extricate himself, but will learn that his life, and that of
countless defenceless people, now hangs on his actions during three
desperate hours.
Here is an excellent new book packed with state-of-the-art
information on thanatology. It presents valuable insights on the
history, current issues, and future directions for the modern death
movement. This comprehensive volume is unique in that it offers
multiple perspectives on the issues and problems facing the
thanatology movement in the United States from well-known experts
in a variety of fields, including nursing, psychology, death
education, medicine, ethics, and suicide prevention. By crossing
disciplinary boundaries, these authoritative contributors are able
to critically examine the entire thanatological community and
provide glimpses of an agenda for the 1990s. The Thanatology
Community and the Needs of the Movement provides valuable insights
on important issues in the field such as: ethical concerns in
thanatology setting standards for the field of thanatology advocacy
and empowerment for the dying, the bereaved, and their caregivers
effective approaches to death education for professionals and for
the public sector suicide prevention Individual chapters address
such pertinent topics as educational needs in thanatology, the
undervaluation of caregiving, policy legislation for issues facing
the terminally ill or bereaved, and the care of children facing
death. This groundbreaking book gives death educators, academic
nurses, clergy, divinity school faculty, and academic and clinical
psychologists the keys to advancing scholarship and practice in the
field of thanatology. Its interdisciplinary focus facilitates
better cooperation between academics and practitioners to
ultimately enhance all services for the dying and bereaved.
This book investigates how the military conflict between Russia and
Ukraine has affected the religious situation in these countries. It
considers threats to and violations of religious freedom, including
those arising in annexed Crimea and in the eastern part of Ukraine,
where fighting between Ukrainian government forces and separatist
paramilitary groups backed and controlled by Russia is still going
on, as well as in Russia and Ukraine more generally. It also
assesses the impact of the conflict on church-state relations and
national religion policy in each country and explores the role
religion has played in the military conflict and the ideology
surrounding it, focusing especially on the role of the Ukrainian
and Russian Orthodox churches, as well as on the consequences for
inter-church relations and dialogue.

Best known as an educator and early civil rights activist, Mary
McLeod Bethune was the daughter of former slaves. After moving to
Washington, D.C., in 1936, she organized and represented thousands
of women with the National Council of Negro Women. She led the
charge to change the segregationist policies of local hospitals and
concert halls, and she acted as a mentor to countless African
American women in the District. Residents of all races were brought
together to honor Bethune's birthday with some of the first games
between the local Negro League team and a white semi-pro team.
Historian Ida E. Jones explores the monumental life of Mary McLeod
Bethune as a leader, a crusader and a Washingtonian.
Many of us are guilty of choosing to binge-watch TV after a
stressful day at work rather than hitting the gym to exercise - but
what if you could do both at the same time? Self-help expert and
stretching guru Susan Clark has devised over 40 simple exercises
you can sneakily squeeze in while in bed, at your desk, commuting,
watching TV, in the bath and more. Stretching is the ultimate
low-intensity exercise, with science-backed benefits including
improved flexibility, toned muscles and a stronger core - and it
might even increase your life expectancy. You don't need any
special equipment, and just 10 minutes of 'flexercise' each day
will benefit your health. Featuring charming illustrations of each
stretch, as well as a bonus chapter on how to meditate to stretch
your mind, this book is the perfect way to get back into fitness
without even leaving your house.

The harshly magnificent landscape of the Elan Valley in Mid Wales
was changed utterly in the late 1890s by a reservoir building
project initiated by the Corporation of Birmingham in order to
supply water to that expanding city. A great feat of civil
engineering, the project required the flooding of land by the River
Elan and the compensating of local landowners; but also made a
tremendous impact on the traditions, rights and privileges of the
local commoners, and on a flock system of hill farming that had
existed for hundreds of years. Originally published in 1969, The
Valley is Elizabeth Clarke's account of hill farming life in the
Elan Valley and the massive changes wrought upon it between the
first period of reservoir construction and a subsequent project
that followed the Second World War.
'Owls call now in the hazy afternoon, and curlews get up in the
night and join their voices with the plovers' lost cries. Small
birds, distracted by the fury of mating, fly hedge-high in flight
and pursuit and brush past one's ear, indifferent to human
presence.There is a common belief that when sight diminishes
hearing is intensified - an observation made, I would say, by
onlookers. I doubt whether I hear more acutely than before, but
every trifle heard passes under expert scrutiny in some formerly
idle workshop in my mind...' Elizabeth Clarke's The Darkening Green
(first published in 1964) portrays the gradual loss of sight
endured by a farmer's daughter, and bursts with lyrical observation
of rural life. It was inspired by Clarke's personal experience of
supporting her husband, a farmer near the Elan Valley in mid-Wales,
as his own vision began to fade.
It's Christmas Eve, and a lonely old donkey limps through the
frozen grass, searching for food. Suddenly he hears the sound of
galloping hooves. Could it be Father Christmas' reindeer? When the
Donkey meets Father Christmas, he receives a gift he could never
have dreamed of! This charming tale with gorgeous nordic
illustration is one that little ones will want to hear again and
again!
This SpringerBrief details the MESSENGER Mission, the findings of
which present challenges to widely held conventional views and
remaining mysteries surrounding the planet. The work answers the
question of why Mercury is so dense, and the implications from
geochemical data on its planetary formation. It summarizes imaging
and compositional data from the terrestrial planet surface
processes and explains the geologic history of Mercury. It also
discusses the lack of southern hemisphere coverage. Our
understanding of the planet Mercury has been in a transitional
phase over the decades since Mariner 10. The influx of new data
from the NASA MESSENGER Mission since it was inserted into the
orbit of Mercury in March of 2011 has greatly accelerated that
shift. The combined compositional data of relatively high volatiles
(S, K), relatively low refractories (Al, Ca), and low crustal iron,
combined with an active, partially molten iron rich core, has major
implications for Mercury and Solar System formation. From a
scientist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, this presents a
comprehensive overview of the discoveries from the ten-year
MESSENGER mission.
Remote Sensing from a New Perspective The idea for this book began
many years ago, when I was asked to teach a course on remote
sensing. Not long before that time, I had been part of the effort
to develop the first database for planetary data with a common
digital array format and interactive processing capabilities to
correlate those data easily: the lunar consortium. All the
available lunar remote sensing data were included, orbital and
ground-based, ranging across the entire electromagnetic spectrum. I
had used this powerful tool extensively, and, in that spirit, I was
determined to create a course which covered the entire spectrum and
a variety of targets. As I looked around for the equivalent of a
textbook, which I was willing to pull together from several
sources, I realized that available material was very heavily
focused on the visual and near visual spectrum and on the Earth as
a target. Even The Surveillant Science, edited by Edward Holz and
published in 1973, which broke new ground in having diverse
articles on most of the spectrum when it was created, focused
entirely on the Earth. My personal favorite, the exceedingly well
written book on remote sensing by Floyd Sabins first published in
1978, covered the visual, infrared, and microwave portions of the
spectrum beautifully but focused on the Earth as well. Unhindered,
I developed what I called 'packets' of material for each part of
the spectrum.

This book views Mercury as a whole in the context of its
environment. It illustrates what we know and what we need to know,
and why understanding Mercury is so crucial to our understanding of
solar system origin and current processes on Earth. The book
describes our current state of knowledge for Mercury and
interactions between interior, exterior, and space environment
which are highly dynamic and thus critical to understanding Mercury
as a system.

Winner of the Dayton Literary Peace Prize in fiction Tehran, 1978:
Nahid and Masood, both eighteen, are young lovers and young
revolutionaries, determined to overthrow the Shah's regime and help
to bring about democracy. Their clandestine activities are
dangerous, but with youth, passion and right on their side, they
feel invincible. Then one night, Nahid allows her younger sister to
come along to a huge demonstration. Violence breaks out. Nahid lets
go of her sister's hand. Everything changes. As the revolution
sours, and the loss becomes too much to bear, Nahid and Masood are
forced to flee to Sweden, on borrowed money with forged passports.
Tehran is no longer safe for them, and now they are expecting a
baby; they need to get out before they lose everything. Thirty
years later, Nahid lies in a hospital bed replaying her life,
raging at her carers, at her recent cancer diagnosis, at Masood, at
her - now pregnant - daughter, and at her exile among people who
while purporting to understand know nothing of what she has been
through. Told with startling honesty, dark wit and an irresistible
momentum, What We Owe is a novel of love, guilt and dreams for a
better future, vibrating with both sorrow and an unquenchable joie
de vivre.
This book will make you more hopeful. Hope - it's a little word but
one that carries so much weight. Like love, it's something we
cannot see, smell or hold yet we all know it exists. Hope... is the
Thing reminds us that, whatever circumstances we may be facing,
Hope enables us to carry on. It is 'the thing' none of us would
want to live without. Throughout the book - which is filled with
inspirational quotes, exercises, affirmations and more - Susan
Elizabeth Clark will teach you that Hope will always show up if you
make space for it, and that being Hopeful is like a superpower.
This little book will show you how to choose Hope when things don't
go your way, and embrace all the magic it will bring to your life.
This international and interdisciplinary volume investigates
Protestant devotional identities in sixteenth- and
seventeenth-century England. Divided into two sections, the book
examines the 'sites' where these identities were forged - the
academy, printing house, household, theatre and prison - and the
'types' of texts that expressed them - spiritual autobiographies,
religious poetry and writings tied to the ars moriendi - providing
a broad analysis of social, material and literary forms of devotion
during England's Long Reformation. Through archival and
cutting-edge research, a detailed picture of 'lived religion'
emerges, which re-evaluates the pietistic acts and attitudes of
well-known and recently discovered figures. To those studying and
teaching religion and identity in early modern England, and anyone
interested in the history of religious self-expression, these
chapters offer a rich and rewarding read. -- .
Beautifully crafted tales from home and faraway lands. Each story
is divided into tiny chapters, making these perfect early readers,
as well as lovely bedtime stories. Six tales, including the title
story and 'The Little Silver Bell'. Exquisite line drawings and
