After many visits to Wales to photograph some of the castles I
decided to produce this book, I selected 20 castles, not the
biggest or grandest, to represent the spirit of these old
structures. Steve Howe, a local writer, researched and wrote a
potted history of each castle, I think between us we have created
not only a picture book but also a history book.
This volume provides a critical examination of the uses and abuses
of indigenous knowledge. The contributors focus on a series of
interrelated issues in their interrogation of indigenous knowledge
and its specific applications within the localized contexts of
particular Asian societies and regional cultures.In particular they
explore: the problems of translation and mistranslation in the
local-global transference of traditional practices and
representations of resource management; the match and mismatch of
practical reasoning in indigenous subsistence regimes and their
depictions by outsiders; and the developmental and political
consequences of contemporary ethnic and regional claims rooted in
an ideology of "traditional" indigenous knowledge.
Method and process are important in business analysis, but knowing
how to use them is even more so. Business analysts can increase
effectiveness most by developing soft skills. You will find that
these skills are transferable across project types and industry
sectors. This book illustrates the application of NLP to develop
competencies - better equipping you to communicate across cultures,
reframe problems, manage stakeholder groups, resolve conflicts,
motivate teams and become an even better leader.
This volume describes a grass-roots approach to empowering
people for democratic social change. It explains participatory
research using exemplary case studies on community organizing,
feminist theory, and ecological movements from a wide range of
locations in North America. The first collection of essays on
participatory research in Canada and the United States, the book is
an eloquent demonstration that the same approach to social change
is needed in industrialized countries as it is in underdeveloped
countries. Challenging the relevance and validity of academic
social science research, participatory research is an important
tool for social activists, community workers, and adult educators
working with oppressed peoples.

A sense of fatigue dogs the fitness world. Many of the new programs
that are tagged as groundbreaking are actually recycled ideas.
Foundation offers something completely different for novices and
athletes alike: a simple program with powerful and proven results
that will remedy bad posture, alleviate back pain, and help readers
break through fitness challenges and plateaus. Dr. Eric Goodman, a
brilliant and dynamic young chiropractor, teams up with Peter Park,
one of the top trainers in the United States, to radically redefine
the core--shifting the focus from the front of the body to the
back. Their groundbreaking approach works to strengthen the lower
back and the full posterior chain and correct poor movement
patterns by addressing mechanical imbalances and weaknesses.
Foundation training involves simple movement patterns and is
equipment free, creating maximum power, flexibility, and endurance.
Word-of-mouth enthusiasm has inspired both Hollywood luminaries and
world-class athletes to make Foundation training the core of their
fitness programs. Eric and Peter's client list has grown
exponentially to include Lance Armstrong, NBA star Derek Fisher,
world-champion surfer Kelly Slater, and actor Matthew McConaughey.
Method and process are important in project management, but knowing
how to use them is even more so. As a project manager you can
increase your effectiveness most by developing your soft skills,
recognising that finesse can be more effective than force. Once
developed, you will find that these skills are transferable across
project types and whole industry sectors. This book illustrates the
application of NLP to develop competencies, hence better equipping
you to communicate across cultures, reframe problems, manage
stakeholder groups, resolve conflicts, motivate teams and become an
even better leader.
Peter Park is a go-to trainer who has worked with pro athletes
(Justin Verlander, Giancarlo Stanton) and celebrities (Matthew
McConaughey, Maria Shriver, Rob Lowe). Park himself is a three-time
World's Toughest Triathlon Winner. As one of his clients
says,"Having Peter as your trainer is kind of like having Bill
Gates as your computer science teacher." Now Park and his team
bring their expertise to anyone who spends long hours at work, has
lost strength,mobility, and freedom of movement, and who wants to
get it all back. Park's proven program will help readers reclaim
fitness by learning functional movements designed to retrain poor
patterns. With a series of eight-week programs,readers will learn
to get the whole body working together, restoring the core and
regaining pain-free movement to truly live a life without limits.
