James Scott is 'n kliniese sielkundige: Hy sien mense en word deur hulle gesien. Die woorde “Dan sien ons mekaar” is die eerste keer geuiter deur die spesialis wat sy kornea-oorplantings behartig het.
Dan sien ons mekaar is 'n versameling eg menslike stories oor die lief en leed op James se persoonlike lewensreis; en dié van sy kliënte van die afgelope dertig jaar.
Dit is 'n eerlike blik op hoe terapeut en kliënt mekaar se lewens raak.
The Harrisburg Telegraph says: "...an unique and authoritative
book, The Story of the Battles at Gettysburg" will arouse great
interest among military men throughout the country." It is not
generally known that the three-day battle of Gettysburg, one of the
most important and significant engagements of the Civil War, is
included in the course of training of student officers in
practically all the European war colleges as an outstanding example
of tactics and strategy. Once a year the students of the West Point
Military Academy spend several days at Gettysburg in studying the
battle problems during the first three days of July 1863. The
outstanding features to the military, are the maps of the
battlefield...these maps are drawn to scale with careful fidelity
and the position of each regiment and branch of service is shown
every hour of the day at different stages in the progress of the
battles.
There is knowledge, understanding, and spiritual illumination in
this book never seen or written, ever, in the recorded commentary
of biblical history. This is a phenomenon of the moment arising out
of Words in Daniel's book that have been "closed up and sealed till
the time of the end." The challenge confronting every Christian,
regardless of his spiritual age or position, is in recognizing that
there is much more to know about God than we know but to know more
we must be willing to continually repent and change our minds when
the Lord allows us to see a clearer vision of the Truth. Those who
set aside every influence outside of the simple literal Words of
inspired scripture receive knowledge and understanding unavailable
from any other source. Theologians of every degree have never seen
the thoughts and observations illuminated in the precept upon
precept chapters of this book. If we allow the theologian,
tradition, or the worldly church to control our mind, we will miss
the blessing of simply believing the purity of the Word. God gave
us a good mind and He expects us to use it to His glory by
understanding the Words He wants us to hear. The In-Visible Truth
is an immeasurable blessing, hidden in simplicity. Identifying
doctrinal errors in the church along with seeing biblical specifics
of RAPTURE carries the believer far beyond the significance of
knowing when Jesus will come again. The Lord is right on time every
time and it is now time that we understand many things that the He
did not allow us to understand in the past. Be blessed. James Scott

It's difficult for a young man to find his place in the present
when he can't escape the past. Ethan Simms doesn't believe in a
perfect world, not even a good world. Eventually, everything good
goes to bad, so what's the point? He thinks happiness is temporary,
but the pain of losing it lasts forever. Far too often he has been
responsible for crushing the happiness others think will last. But
it's the shame that comes from his biggest secret that could make
him the most pained of all as he searches for meaning in his
actions and for his place in a wicked world. Then one day what was
supposed to be a brief goodbye to his dying grandfather Joseph,
whom Ethan has always called Paps, turns into a series of visits as
Ethan learns the chaptered story of a great man's happy life. Paps
doesn't deny that the world is cruel, and he uses his own emotional
tale as an example of its viciousness. But amidst his dark
experiences in World War II and losing loved ones during and after,
a unique joy stands out in his spirt, exemplifying the beauty that
is so often overlooked in the world. Frozen in time, his story
shows Ethan the idea that fairy tales do exist if we only let
ourselves be a part of them. And best of all, there is good that
can stretch across an eternity. Even so, Ethan isn't so sure. Is
happiness possible for everyone or are some people damned from the
start? Ethan finds himself on a journey in which he comes face to
face with his biggest secret, searches for himself in the current
war in Iraq, and looks for something that may have never been lost
in the first place. Possibility.

Don’t miss this irresistible read-aloud in the vein of Chicka Chicka Boom Boom—with catchy rhymes and bold, silly art about baby animals and the names they share!
I was born a baby and grew into a kid…
Soon all the other baby animals can’t help but share what they are called and what they grew up into! Readers will learn about owlettes, pufflings, and more. But when the chick, calf, cub, and pup realize they share their names with several other species, they can’t believe it. “No way! No how! That can't be true!” becomes a catchy, energetic refrain readers will love chanting.
The text invites readers to predict what the baby animal is by using context clues and checking the endpapers to see if they guessed right.
The strong rhythm and unexpected discoveries of the baby animal kingdom, plus deadpan humor and wonderfully expressive art, will spark a conversation about names and nature and leave readers wanting to read it aloud again and again.
"Beautifully researched and masterfully told" (Alex Kershaw, "New
York Times "bestselling author of "Escape from the Deep"), this is
the riveting story of the heroic and tragic US submarine force that
helped win World War II in the Pacific.
Focusing on the unique stories of three of the war's top
submarines--"Silversides," "Drum," and "Tang"--"The War Below
"vividly re-creates the camaraderie, exhilaration, and fear of the
brave volunteers who took the fight to the enemy's coastline in
World War II. Award-winning journalist James Scott recounts
incredible feats of courage--from an emergency appendectomy
performed with kitchen utensils to sailors' desperate struggle to
escape from a flooded submarine--as well as moments of unimaginable
tragedy, including an attack on an unmarked enemy freighter
carrying 1,800 American prisoners of war.
The casualty rate among submariners topped that of all other
military branches. The war claimed almost one out of every five
submarines, and a submarine crewman was six times more likely to
die than a sailor onboard a surface ship. But this valorous service
accomplished its mission; "Silversides," "Drum," and "Tang "sank a
combined sixty-two freighters, tankers, and transports. The
Japanese were so ravaged from the loss of precious supplies that by
the war's end, pilots resorted to suicidal kamikaze missions and
hungry civilians ate sawdust while warships had to drop anchor due
to lack of fuel. In retaliation, the Japanese often beat, tortured,
and starved captured submariners in the atrocious prisoner of war
camps.
Based on more than 100 interviews with submarine veterans and
thousands of pages of previously unpublished letters and diaries,
"The War Below "lets readers experience the battle for the Pacific
as never before.

This book explores tensions in global trade by examining the role
of experts in generating, disseminating and legitimating knowledge
about the possibilities of trade to work for global development. To
this end, contributors assess authoritative claims on knowledge.
They also consider structural features that uphold trade experts'
monopoly over knowledge, such as expert language and legal and
economic expertise. The chapters collectively explore the tensions
between actors who seek to effect change and those who work to
uphold the status quo, exacerbate asymmetries, and reinforce the
dominant narrative of the global trade regime. The book addresses
the following key overarching research questions: Who is considered
to be a trade expert and how does one become a knowledge producer
in global trade? How do experts acquire, disseminate and legitimate
knowledge? What agendas are advanced by expert knowledge? How does
the discourse generated within trade expertise serve to close off
alternative institutional pathways and modes of thinking? What
potential exists for the emergence of more emancipatory global
trade policies from contemporary developments in the field of trade
expertise? This book will be of great interest to students and
scholars of IPE, Trade Politics, International Relations, and
International Organizations.
First published in 1987. This is volume 9 of the libray of peasant
studies series. The contributors focus on a vast and relatively
unexplored middle-ground of peasant politics between passivity and
open, collective defiance. The general rubric for these phenomena
is 'everyday resistance' - a term that is self-consciously homely.

James Scott Johnston's incisive study draws on a holistic reading
of Kant: one that views him as developing and testing a complete
system (theoretical, practical, historical and anthropological)
with education as a vital component. As such, the book begins with
an extensive overview of Kant's chief theoretical work (the
Critique of Pure Reason), and from that overview distils crucial
discussions (the role of practical reason; the claims of the third
antinomy) for his moral theory. An extended discussion of Kant's
moral and political theories and the place of pedagogy in it
follow, with attention to all of Kant's important moral works as
well as his chief religious work, Religion within the Bounds of
Mere Reason. A discussion of culture and character follows, chiefly
through a discussion of Kant's Critique of the Power of Judgment
and Anthropology from a Pragmatic Standpoint, together with certain
lectures and published essays on history and politics. Finally, an
extensive discussion of Kant's published works on education,
together with only recently published letters and announcements (in
English), is provided. This culminates in Johnston's estimation of
what a Kantian education, systematically conceived, might look
like: an education that is attentive to theoretical, moral,
cultural-historical, and pedagogic domains of Kant's thinking.
