A major reassessment of the methods and meaning of impressionism At
pivotal moments in his career, Claude Monet would go out with a
fellow artist, plant his easel beside his friend’s, and paint the
same scene. Painting with Monet closely examines pairs of such
works, showing how attention to this practice raises tantalizing
new questions about Monet’s art and impressionism as a movement.
Is impressionist painting an objective attempt to capture reality
as it really is? Or is it a subjective expression of the artist’s
unique way of perceiving things? How can artists create a movement
without conformity extinguishing individuality? Harmon Siegel
reveals how Monet explored problems like these in concrete,
practical ways while painting alongside his teachers, Eugène
Boudin and Johan Barthold Jongkind, his friends, Frédéric Bazille
and Pierre-Auguste Renoir, and his hero, Eugène Manet. At a time
of major cultural upheavals, these artists asked how we can know
reality beyond our personal perception. Siegel provides new
insights into the aesthetic, philosophical, and ethical stakes for
these painters as they responded to a rapidly changing society.
Beautifully illustrated, Painting with Monet sheds critical light
on how Monet and his fellow impressionists, painting side by side,
avowed their capacity to know the world and affirmed their
conviction in what Siegel calls the reality of others.
Based on the earlier work of Dr. Robert J. Marzano, this
instructional guide provides explicit steps, examples, and
adaptations to help educators effectively teach students how to use
new knowledge swiftly and accurately.

Hawaii, 1941. War clouds with Japan are gathering and the islands
of Hawaii have become battlegrounds of spies, intelligence agents,
and military officials - with the island's residents caught between
them. Toiling in the shadows are Douglas Wada, the only Japanese
American agent in naval intelligence, and Takeo Yoshikawa, a
Japanese spy sent to Pearl Harbor to gather information on the U.S.
fleet. Douglas Wada's experiences in his native Honolulu include
posing undercover as a newspaper reporter, translating wiretaps on
the Japanese Consulate, and interrogating America's first captured
POW of World War II, a submarine officer found on the beach. Takeo
Yoshikawa is a Japanese spy operating as a junior diplomat with the
consulate who is collecting vital information that goes straight to
Admiral Yamamoto. Their dueling stories anchor Ghosts of Honolulu's
gripping depiction of the world-changing cat and mouse games played
between Japanese and US military intelligence agents (and a
mercenary Nazi) in Hawaii before the outbreak of the second world
war. Also caught in the upheaval are Honolulu's innocent residents
- including Douglas Wada's father - who endure the war's
anti-Japanese fervor and a cadre of intelligence professionals who
must prevent Hawaii from adopting the same destructive mass
internments as California. Scrutinizing long-buried historical
documents, NCIS star Mark Harmon and co-author Leon Carroll, a
former NCIS Special Agent, have brought forth a true-life NCIS
story of deception, discovery, and danger. Ghosts of Honolulu
depicts the incredible high stakes game of naval intelligence and
the need to define what is real and what only appears to be real.

Animated horror featuring the voices of Steve Buscemi, Nick Cannon,
Maggie Gyllenhaal and Kevin James. DJ Harvard (voice of Mitchel
Musso) lives directly across the street from a most unusual house.
A malevolent entity that longs to feed on the energy of the living,
the once peaceful house that looms ominously outside of DJ's
bedroom window would like nothing more than the chance to feast on
the children of the neighborhood. As Halloween begins to draw near
and the children of the neighbourhood prepare for another long
night of trick-or-treating, it appears as if it may be the house
that is in for the biggest treat of all.

Magic and redemption in a world of fire and ice. Among boiling
volcanoes under Mira's frozen lands, people like Ig are forced to
undergo life-threatening trials that bind chemical elements to the
human body. One of Mira's most powerful elementals, Ig serves as an
enforcer for Magnate Sorrelo Adriann, but is cursed with flesh
binding magic that will kill him at the first sign of disobedience.
When Sorrelo is overthrown, Ig quickly learns he can do far worse
than what has been asked of him so far. If he can't escape the
flesh binding in time, he will have to kill friend and foe alike to
stop his master reclaiming the throne, or sacrifice himself trying.
It is often recognized that the title 'servant' is applied to key
figures throughout the Bible, culminating in Jesus Christ. Matthew
Harmon carefully traces this theme from Genesis to Revelation,
examining how earlier 'servants' point forwards to the ultimate
Servant. While this theme is significant in its own right
throughout redemptive history, it also plays a supporting role,
enhancing and enriching other themes, such as son, prophet and
king. Harmon shows how the title 'servant' not only gives us a
clearer understanding of Jesus Christ but also has profound
implications for our lives as Christians. When we grasp what it
means to be servants of Christ, our love for him and our obedience
to him deepen. Understanding that the ultimate Servant, Jesus
Christ, indwells his people, to empower them to serve others in
love, has the potential to transform how we interact with fellow
believers and the world around us.

This book explores entanglements between politics and leisure,
ranging from the electorate’s concerns with public recreation
resources, to the presence of politics in casual conversation, and
to the use of leisure as a means of preserving racial hierarchies
in society. In noting the contributions of past scholarship, it
also points toward a trend of increasingly political leisure
research, where research helps to unpack the multiple ways in which
power suffuses the experience of leisure. A contrast between
‘being political’, on one hand, and the tribal politicization
that characterizes much of contemporary social life, on the other
hand, demonstrates that scholars and educators can and should be
engaged in politically-oriented scholarship, while also building a
more diverse and intellectually productive academy. This edited
volume will be of great interest to researchers and scholars
interested in race, power, polarization, and the interrelationship
between politics and leisure. The chapters in this book were
originally published as a special issue of the journal Leisure
Sciences.
The new edition of this best-selling insight into terrorism today
has been fully updated and revised to include what the author terms
the new 'militant Moslem international.' Drawing directly on the
words and ideas of terrorists themselves, this book is an
examination of patterns, current trends and future threats in
terrorism worldwide. It explores the ideology and psychology, the
politics and policies, the strategies and operations of many active
small groups and major insurgencies. The terrorist leader emerges
as a calculating, innovated and often well-educated person whose
use of violence against the innocent is calibrated for maximum
effects. The closing chapter is a stimulating discussion of the
problems of counter-terrorism, making several key recommendations.
Terrorism Today will be essential reading for students of
terrorism, counter-insurgency and international security.

This Citizen's Guide addresses the public policy issues of
terrorism and counterterrorism in the United States. Written for
the thinking citizen and student alike, this succinct and
up-to-date book takes a "grand strategy" approach toward terrorism
and uses examples and issues drawn from present-day perpetrators
and actors. Christopher C. Harmon, a veteran academic of military
theory who has also instructed U.S. and foreign military officers,
organizes his book into three sections. He first introduces the
problem of America's continued vulnerability to terrorist attack.
Part II examines the varied ways in which the U.S. is fighting
terrorism, highlighting the labors of diverse experts, government
offices, intelligence and military personnel, and foreign allies.
The book outlines the various aspects of the U.S. strategy,
including intelligence, diplomacy, public diplomacy, economic
counterterrorism, and law and law-making. In Part III, Harmon
sketches the prospects for further action, steering clear of simple
partisanship and instead listing recommendations with pros and cons
and also including factual stories of how individual citizens have
made a difference in the national effort against terrorism. New to
the Second Edition * Adds coverage of the Islamic State, explained
in terms of its character, rise, and relative collapse under
coalition pressures. * Focuses on the growing right-wing terrorist
threat, domestically as well as internationally. * Covers
additional schools of militancy including anarchism; variants of
communism and especially Maoist insurgency; and the Iranian/Shia
terrorist threat throughout the Middle East and Europe, among
others. * Analyzes the current published White House strategy for
countering terrorism.
