Most people know that Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827) was a German
composer, a musical prodigy whose Symphony No. 5 is recognizable
the world over from its opening four notes. What, perhaps, they
don't know is that he was almost completely deaf for nearly half
his life; that his father would often lie about when Beethoven was
born to make his talents seem even more astonishing; that he wrote
a sonata to be played with building implements and called it the
"Hammer-Klavier Sonata"; and that he dedicated works to Napoleon
and a dead poodle. Biographic Beethoven presents an instant
impression of his life, work, and legacy, with an array of
irresistible facts and figures converted into infographics to
reveal the composer behind the compositions.
The archaeological study of the Ancient World has become
increasingly popular in recent years. A Research Guide to the
Ancient World: Print and Electronic Sources, is a partially
annotated bibliography. The study of the ancient world is usually,
although no exclusively, considered a branch of the humanities,
including archaeology, art history, languages, literature,
philosophy, and related cultural disciplines which consider the
ancient cultures of the Mediterranean world, and adjacent Egypt and
southwestern Asia. Chronologically the ancient world would extend
from the beginning of the Bronze Age of ancient Greece (ca. 1000
BCE) to the fall of the Western Roman Empire (ca. 500 CE). This
book will close the traditional subject gap between the humanities
(Classical World; Egyptology) and the social sciences
(anthropological archaeology; Near East) in the study of the
Ancient World. This book is uniquely the only bibliographic
resource available for such holistic coverage. The volume consists
of 17 chapters and seven appendices. Arrangement is according to
the traditional types of library research materials
(bibliographies, dictionaries, atlases, etc.) and the appendices
are most subject specific, including graduate programs in the
Ancient World, significant archaeologyical sites reports,
numismatics, and paleography and writing systems.Access to the
contents of the volume is facilitated by extensive author and
subject indexes.

"Doing Civility: Breaking the Cycle of Incivility on the Campus,"
explores ways in which members of the college community can take
proactive steps to break the cycle of incivility. Civility requires
extending mutual respect to others, especially people with
different values, beliefs, and ideas. It also involves a civic
responsibility to strengthen the community.
"Doing Civility" dives into how civility can be applied in
practical ways using real-life student stories.
"Doing Civility" is a companion book to" In Search of Civility."
Together, the two books provide sharp analysis for understanding
civility on campus and in the workplace. "Doing Civility"
incorporates interactive tools and exercises at the end of each
chapter designed to help readers apply the concepts covered in the
chapter. The tools and exercises are perfect for self-reflection or
small group discussions.
Americans are trouble by the growing incivility they see in public
life and in their interpersonal relationships. The modern college
and university may offer the best and most effective forum for
providing an education in civility for our future leaders. It's
time to do civility.
Americans are troubled by the growing incivility they see in
public life and in their interpersonal relationships. The lack of
civility is an increasing issue on college campuses, reflecting
deep societal problems.
"In Search of Civility: Confronting Incivility on the College
Campus," explores the timely issue by weaving stories of four
college freshmen at a large university with current research on
civility issues.
The four students encounter civility dilemmas ranging from
cheating, plagiarism, and misuse of technology to alcohol,
diversity, and peer pressure. They want to do the right thing, but
distinguishing between right and wrong sometimes proves to be
difficult particularly when their personal values conflict with
campus norms.
"In Search of Civility" provides relevant context for the complex
civility challenges facing students, faculty, and administrators.
Colleges can play an important role in instilling civility among
their students in their academic and social lives. Civil conduct
requires treating others the way one wishes to be treated as well
as a sense of duty and responsibility to the community.
By raising questions, "In Search of Civility" challenges students
to make the connection between the morals and values they claim to
hold and the practical implications of those values expressed
through acts of civility in every part of their lives.
Weeks draws on a wide range of experiences--as teacher of
undergraduate and graduate students at George Peabody College,
Vanderbilt University, and as legal advisor to colleges throughout
the US.
Can you believe in God without checking your brain at the door? We
live in an age where atheism is on the rise and participation in
religion is decreasing. "Just have faith" does not carry weight any
more. Is it possible to believe in God today without setting aside
our knowledge and reason? If people are to believe with
authenticity, they must be encouraged to think critically as well
as value their own unique experiences. The roots of faith today
grow best in the soil of honest questioning. There is only a thin
line separating sincere non-believer from believer. Our human
limitations and subjectivity provide common ground for us to learn
from each other regardless of belief or lack of belief in God.
Within that context, an atheist will have an opportunity to view
faith from a broader perspective while a believer will be
challenged to use both mind and heart to grow deeper spiritually.
By opening up to God in a broader fashion like this, we're better
able to open up to each other as well.

When you read the Washington D.C. tabloids, you might surmise that
Teco Jackson was slain by a delusional killer, The Paradox.
However, Federal Agents are not convinced. A crime spree in
Atlanta, Georgia is strikingly similar to that of the Washington,
D.C. G-String murders.
Atlanta Detective Paul Yeomans tries to keep the south's "Phoenix
City" safe but is forced to seek help from Washington, D.C.'s
quick-witted and statuesque Detective Hanae Troop. Never realizing,
until it's too late, the multi-jurisdiction operation is eventually
forced into a propitious government mission with international
appeal.
Atlanta resident Gail Indigo Que (GQ), a former Strictly Business
(SB) drug crew member, attempts to achieve legitimate riches by
virtue of rags with her signature clothing line. However, The
Paradox feels double-crossed and elevates his deadly game to a new
level by trying to sabotage GQ's fashion career and draw her back
into the streets. All in the name of lady justice, The Paradox has
spread his vigilantly game across the entire metro-Atlanta area.
Several weeks after investigating the case, the multi-jurisdiction
law enforcement team solicits the assistance of an unlikely
bodyguard to take GQ into protective custody. Regardless, GQ is
determined to succeed in fashion despite the odds. Leaving the
street life, is it rags or riches?

middle of the U.S. Capitol lawn. For sure, the Feds are out to take
over the case from D.C.'s Homicide Division. The outstanding
reputation of the department rests on the shoulders of Detective

will Detective Troop find that these crimes stem from a jealous
rage? One thing is certain. Teco is wedged in the middle of the
Chocolate City's most infamous murders; and Detective Troop has to
decide if she is going to cuff Teco or protect him. Ultimately, she
finds herself in a strange predicament when she comes face to face

The notorious West Philly native Teco Jackson had it on lock when
it came to stealing cars. The women were captivated by his good
looks and smooth touch. After being on the most dangerous high
speed car chase ever, Teco knew it was time to change his life. He
tried religion thinking that to be the way out; however, he came to
find that crime was in his blood. The score from his job landed him
at the top of City Line Avenue, or so he thought. His homey,
Fatboy, was his sidekick. Blue was his come up, until death played
a part. Bashi, GQ, and Cap took Teco into the Strictly Business
(SB) crew, which was in partnership with Young Black Mafia (YBM).
Gail Indigo Que (a.k.a. GQ), the only female member of the SB Crew,
was the enforcer before Teco took her spot. This was a big move for
Teco, who was nicknamed Homicide by Bashi, the SB Crew boss. Living
a lavish life with money, drugs, and gorgeous women seemed
promising until a major take down. After getting out of jail,
Homicide's mission was to find out where Bashi disappeared. Back on
the streets of Philly, he heard lots of talk about Bashi's
whereabouts and the names of those who were involved. Will the
power struggle between Homicide and GQ get in the way of
discovering the truth? Now Homicide is on a binge to find who
snatched up his boss and to pay them back in a way that no one
would ever think. Homicide owed that to Bashi for keeping him off
of the streets. Homicide decided to relocate to Washington, D.C.
not realizing that things in the Chocolate City aren't very
different from the City of Brotherly Love and that there is always
money to be made. Headed to Washington, D.C. on an Amtrak train,
will Teco ever answer the question: "The Street Life, is it suicide
or murder?"
