Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Like many of the students in her New York City kindergarten, Liza Tilson's first language was Spanish. Born in Columbia in 1919, of a Russian-Jewish father and a Spanish-Catholic mother, She immigrated to the U.S. in 1924. But unlike the children she taught more than forty years later, when she, herself entered kindergarten in 1925, she was the only non-English-speaking child in the whole school, and bilingual programs had not yet been heard of.In her late forties, feeling considerable doubt and trepidation, she was recruited into the initial group of teachers in New York City's experimental and controversial bilingual program, and placed in a school where 75% of the students were non-English-speaking Hispanic children. With patience, determination, and as a matter of personal pride, she survived a rough initiation and a stressful and challenging first year.After that came the good stuff-the subject matter of this book-the wonderful kids!

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - In this explosively controversial book, Richard Francis says that people who worship monsters become monsters. Most worship a godimage that is stupid and vicious! Worshiping this ancient wargod, this 'ultimate extraterrestrial,' drives people psychotic. For their god is psychotic. Religion, the world's worst idea, has spawned nightmarish, ghastly godimages.

Knowing God as Love demolishes theories of everlasting torture in hellfire and cruel, childish Armageddon, replacing them with healthy views. If you think that the cosmos is ruled by a madman, you are going to live very differently than if you believe that it is regulated by a being of Love, tranquility and bliss.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu.

He lived through the first World War and the Bolshevik Revolution that led to the creation of the Soviet Union. He fled from Soviet Armenia, first to Moscow and then to London.

There is much here to stimulate and educate, not only those who wish to know more about the Armenian Diaspora, but everyone with an interest in the human condition as it was experienced in other places and in another time.…
