Have you been searching for a way to resolve conflict that doesn't
involve a series of ten or more steps? Do you think that perhaps a
key to conflict resolution must come from within? How can teachers
and pre-service teachers help their students learn and use
strategies for conflict resolution? Tools for Conflict Resolution
is a practical method for teaching conflict resolution skills to
students in grades K-12. Conflict is a part of everyone's life. It
is the authors' belief that if each student is given tools for
handling conflict, and these tools are used each time conflict
arises that soon students become proficient conflict managers. This
book begins with a chapter, which introduces Peter Senge's five
disciplines: Personal Mastery, Mental Models, Shared Vision, Team
Building, and Systems Thinking. After reading this chapter, the
reader is able to embrace the five disciplines and begin practicing
the adult level. As teachers, we teach from who we are. The rest of
the book is filled with actual lesson plans, which are directly
tied to the Multiple Intelligences Theory and are developmentally
appropriate for students. Case studies, role- plays, skits,
literature, songs, and co-operative learning activities are the
primary instructional methods used to teach students conflict
resolution skills. An annotated bibliography is included to assist
teachers in extending lessons. These lessons may be taught during
Social Studies as a unit on character education or could be used
during a guidance class.
Ars Poetica is a collection of selected poems that Terence M.
O'Keefe has written over the course of his lifetime.
Arachidonic acid (ARA) is one the two main polyunsaturated fatty
acids (PUFAs) in the brain, especially in neuronal cells, and can
be a target in the fight against the major public health concern
represented by Alzheimer's disease (AD) and related disorders in
high- as well as in low-income countries where elders constitute a
growing part of the population. This compilation includes topics
such as the use of arachidonic acid to prevent Alzheimer's disease;
the dietary effects and sources of ARA; the effect of ARA on key
oncogenic pathways in prostate cancer; and the effects of
adipokines on prostaglandin E2 production by rheumatoid synovial
fibroblasts.
BOOK DESCRIPTION Take It from The Top: What To Do With a Peak
Experience By Edward M. O'Keefe, Ph.D. This book examines Peak
Experiences (PEs), those "mountain-top moments" when we are
suddenly taken out of ourselves and feel our oneness with all of
creation. These magical moments, the author convincingly points
out, are increasing in number and in quality as the human race
prepares for a significant evolutionary step forward. Some 75
well-known and little-known persons share with us their
fascinating, often life changing, always uplifting, experiences -
outbreaks of spirit - that testify to the amazing capabilities and
possibilities of the human mind and heart. American psychologist
Abraham Maslow called this capacity "the farther reaches of human
nature." Persons relating their profound peak experiences, mostly
in their own words, include Eckhart Tolle, C.S. Lewis, Anwar Sadat,
Astronaut Edgar Mitchell, Albert Einstein, scientist Elmer Green
(considered the father of clinical biofeedback), actors Alan Arkin
and Julie Andrews, basketball star Bill Russell, and composers
Brahms and Bernstein. Whatever the field of the 'peaker'- science,
art, religion, education, sports, etc. - these profound moments of
insight, knowledge and joy motivate the individual, and all
humankind, to exceed former limits, to push on into previously
unknown territory. Thus, PEs are the prime engines of human
evolution. The author, after a lifetime of study of PEs, examines
these extraordinary occurrences, where PEs come from, their
purpose, and the most common events and activities that trigger
PEs, such as music, sports, spirituality and nature. In addition,
after pointing out some of the resistant forces that tend to
inhibit such experiences, this book presents easy and practical
methods to increase the number of these powerful and ecstatic
spiritual happenings - for oneself and for the evolution of the
human race.
