In a period of rapid cultural shifts, changing populations and new
ideologies take hold and reshape political agendas and norms in the
West. It is against this backdrop that Wolfgang Brezinka presents
his controversial take on the impact these changes have made on the
public education landscape. Offering his views on the historical
context behind these cultural shifts, Brezinka argues for the
development of moral and values education in the West and discusses
the conflicting roles migration, divergent ideologies, and other
factors have had to play. Focusing on pedagogy and policy, Brezinka
puts forth a provocative perspective on the relationship between
pluralism, tradition, and the future of education.
God Is Closer Than You Might Think A thin curtain separates the
physical world from the unseen spiritual realm. And sometimes God
pulls it back to give us a glimpse of the other side. In Heaven
Touching Earth, ordinary people share more than forty all-new
stories of miracles, healing, divine provision and protection, and
encounters with angels and demons. These true, uplifting stories
will remind you that even when you don't see obvious evidence of
God at work in your life or get quick answers to prayer, there is a
loving Father who protects and provides and is always working on
your behalf in the invisible realm. Whether you're simply curious
about the supernatural world or longing for a fresh experience of
God's presence, these inspiring stories will touch your heart and
strengthen your faith in the God of miracles.

While the earliest character representations in video games were
rudimentary in terms of their presentation and performance, the
virtual characters that appear in games today can be extremely
complex and lifelike. These are characters that have the potential
to make a powerful and emotional connection with gamers. As virtual
characters become more intricate and varied, there is a growing
need to examine the theory and practice of virtual character
design. This book seeks to develop a series of critical frameworks
to support the analysis and design of virtual characters. Virtual
Character Design for Games and Interactive Media covers a breadth
of topics to establish a relationship between pertinent artistic
and scientific theories and good character design practice.
Targeted at students, researchers, and professionals, the book aims
to show how both character presentation and character performance
can be enhanced through careful consideration of underlying theory.
The book begins with a focus on virtual character presentation,
underpinned by a discussion of biological, artistic, and
sociological principles. Next it looks at the performance of
virtual characters, encompassing the psychology of emotion and
personality, narrative and game design theories, animation, and
acting. The book concludes with a series of applied virtual
character design examples. These examples examine the aesthetics of
player characters, the design and performance of the wider cast of
game characters, and the performance of characters within complex,
hyperreal worlds.
The Second Edition of this bestseller combines directions for the old tried and true methods of photographic documentation (cameras, films, lighting sources) with analyses of the latest methods used in the practice (video, thermography,digital imaging). Specifically, Redsicker discusses the "how-to" of basic photography, shows the essentials of videography, and offers the fundamentals of aerial, underwater, and surveillance photography as they relate to the presentation of evidence in court. Redsicker presents this information in a practical, step-by-step fashion that is bound to enable students and professionals alike to use any camera to produce their own documentations of forensic evidence.
The introduction to each chapter approaches the subject of forensic photography from its "how to" basics to the proper and accepted methods of presentation of forensic photographic evidence in court. The subject matter is then presented-accompanied by illustrations and numerous examples-as a medium against which practitioners can compare their work. The glossary of terms provided at the end of the book is beneficial to the forensic photographer in the preparation of reports and courtroom testimony. Overall, The Practical Methodology of Forensic Photography, Second Edition is both a learning tool for the student of this specialized field and a necessary reference manual for the professional community. It is as useful in the classroom, laboratory, and attorney's library as it is in the field during investigation.

How would you react under fire? Fight or flight? What if you were
in charge of a squad of men, with their lives in your hands? The
next decision you make could be fatal for you and your comrades or
could be devastating to your enemy. The wrong decision could haunt
you for the rest of your career and beyond. The decisions taken by
commanders in the field are analyzed in a detached manner by
historians. But what, for example, was the thought process of a
reconnaissance tank officer operating far ahead of any supporting
troops in the Second World War, or a machine-gunner trying to
differentiate friend from foe in the Gulf War? How might a British
infantry officer in the Iraq War deal with the situations he faced
in combat, or a platoon commander in the War Against ISIS, where
the enemy had no fear of dying and even embraced it? How do you
come to terms with the consequences of your decisions, the right
ones as well as the tragically wrong ones? James Brooks presents
defining moments such as these to put you in the shoes of the
decision-maker. You can decide when to cross a bridge in Taliban
territory, whether to land a helicopter under fire to rescue
Marines in danger, and how to lead a command center targeting ISIS
through air strikes. These decisions, compared with what the
veterans did themselves, teach more about humanity than they do
about the tactics of war and serve as lessons for the decisions we
face in everyday life. In a career that traced the rise and fall of
ISIS from 2014 to 2021, James served in the US Marine Corps as a
scout sniper platoon commander, intelligence officer, and
counter-propaganda mission lead. After two deployments to the
Middle East and a year-and-a-half fighting ISIS propaganda online,
James returned to his hometown to teach a subject called
Perspectives in Modern War to high school seniors. Building from
the stories of his own service, as well as those of the men and
women he fought alongside, in Leadership in Modern War James
captures these lessons and explores just what it is like to be on
the front line facing your foe. Warfare has changed in the
twenty-first century, but the enduring lessons of conflict remain
the same. It is brutal and unforgiving - but it is also
character-defining.
