Book Description
Dawn's colorful first light is a testament to new beginnings and perpetual renewal. It is a rousing panorama that beckons to all who treasure hope and its fulfillment. Each sunrise is a pleasant reminder of inspiration's influence on the human spirit when love makes its appearance. Everyone has the inherent right to feel loved unconditionally and be able to love fully. However, not all are able to sip from desire's cup filled with contentment. For many, the obscurity of night is extended without knowing of the dawn's resurrecting influence. Love relies on spirited recovery during the course of an endless journey. Each new dawn faithfully restores hope for the realization of purposeful possibilities during the day that follows. It is an awakening to the restoration of light. The certainty of dawn's repeated triumph over darkness exemplifies love's faithful and trustworthy nature. If sincere affection is a measure of feeling fulfilled, then what is love and how is it realized? Why is heartfelt love difficult to experience or maintain for many? What does it mean to 'fall in love'? What is fear's influence when seeking love's affirmation? These are some of the challenges in comprehending the mystery of love and its reward presented in this writing. The written text identifies what is necessary to feel loved as a child and to love fully as an adult. Requirements for experiencing the fullest extent of love are chronicled in the section 'Requisites Of Love', while also emphasized throughout the narrative presentation. Numerous quoted words and verse by popular persons of accomplishment enhance a seamless narrative progression. Original poems of the author throughout are dedicated to all who cherish the imaginative and sensitive emotion elicited through poetic expression. Each subchapter listing of love's requisites includes such a beginning. The concluding chapter titled 'Exploration and Reward' ends with a novel revelation of adventure and passion. Included in 'Answering Love's Call' is a final poem of desire's accomplishment by the author titled 'Awakening'. (Screen Reader Supported with Enhanced Typesetting) Recommended: This book will challenge you to evaluate and confront your courage on several levels. It will also expose your relationship with fear even if you didn't think you had one. Myers writes about feelings which is desperately needed and rarely understood. Overall, the book gives hope.

Book Description
This book focuses on three important British travellers to Crete during the 18th and 19th centuries to establish whether or not they made any significant contribution to the field of research with regard to the archaeological heritage of Bronze Age Crete. It is an attempt to bring these ‘lost pioneers’ of antiquity to the fore and to recognize their efforts as part of the foundation of the discovery of the island’s Bronze Age archaeology prior to the ground-breaking excavations of Sir Arthur Evans. The three travellers examined here are Richard Pococke (1704–65), Robert Pashley (1805–59) and Thomas Spratt (1811–88). Having dealt with the terms that these travellers used in describing ancient remains, the book looks briefly at the background to Bronze Age Crete itself. Thereafter the development from antiquarianism into archaeology is followed to establish the motives behind these travellers’ wanderings in Crete. This also involves a discussion of other British travellers to Crete and problems they may have encountered with an island in the throes of Ottoman turbulence. Using their published journals, the author has followed the footsteps of Pococke, Pashley and Spratt to see what they may have discovered, and compared their written accounts with what is physically there today. The results are most intriguing.

Book Description
George A. Romero’s Dawn of the Dead (1978) is celebrated both as a ‘splatter’ movie and as a satire of 1970s consumerism. One of the most financially successful independent films ever produced, Dawn of the Dead presented a strong vision to audiences of the time in terms of its excessive, often shocking violence. It challenged censorship internationally and caused controversy in the United States and the UK. The film created problems with distributors because of its length and its graphic content; with the MPAA who awarded it an ‘X’ in America (a rating usually reserved for pornography); with the BBFC in the UK who completely recut it; and in various European territories where it was released in several versions. Arguably, excess is at the heart of Dawn of the Dead, integral to its meaning: not only in its scenes of gore, its in-your-face social satire and its gaudy pop-kitsch style but in the production history of the film itself. This Devil’s Advocate explores the various ways in which Romero took Dawn of the Dead into areas of extremity during its scripting, production and distribution; and the responses of industry, censorship bodies, reviewers and audiences of the time to the film’s excesses. Taking the approach of a micro-historical study, Jon Towlson offers a close analysis of the film’s production context to explore the cultural significance of Dawn of the Dead as a ‘rebel text’ and an example of oppositional cinema.

Book Description
Approaching evolution from a different point of view, The Dawn of Symbolic Life examines how the rise of civilization and ongoing current technological progress can be seen as an extension of biological evolution. A fascinating blend of biology, philosophy, and economics, the book outlines a formidable and compelling set of ideas that places mankind at the center of an epic evolutionary event. An event that the author believes could lead to a transformation of the world as we know it. By stepping back and analyzing such contemporary issues as environmental sustainability, space exploration, the spread of information technology, and the role of religion in modern society from the long term perspective of the entire history of life, the author reaches some remarkable conclusions concerning the significance of recent events and what they portend for the future. In a profoundly optimistic assessment, the reader is methodically guided toward a fascinating vision of the future that is both inspiring and somewhat unsettling. The author, Jon Beach is both a researcher and published author in the field of evolutionary biology and an active entrepreneur in the world of business. From this combination of viewpoints comes a unique and surprising perspective on the human condition.

Book Description
The same computer games are played by youths all over the world, and worldwide games become matters of concern in relation to children: worries rise about addiction, violence, education, time, and economy. Yet, these concerns vary depending upon where they are situated: in families, legal contexts, industry or science. They also play out differently across countries and cultures. This situated nature of computer game concerns is generally neglected. Not in this book: It gives a detailed mosaic of the complex and multiple everyday realities of computer game concerns in relation to children, as they are variably situated throughout society and across cultures.

Book Description
Science education has undergone far-reaching changes in the last fifty years. The articles collected together in this reader examine how we have reached our present consensus and what theories we now use to explain how children learn science. The central sections of the reader examine how all this can be translated into effective and stimulating teaching, how learning can be most accurately and fairly assessed and how the impact of gender, ethnicity and other factors on children's performance can be addressed in methods of teaching which make science accessible to all. The articles in the final section of the book are a reminder that the debate is not finished yet and raise some challenging questions about what science education is and what it is for.
