Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The book, Nature Is My Teacher, reveals the deep emotional conviction between human evolution and civilization! This book along with its four companion books-Of Human Nature and Good Habits; Life, Living and Lifestyle; How to Win Nature and Enjoy Good Life and Health and Medical Care-constitutes a series that tells the nature-human connection and its implication in our daily life, in the related set of separate episodes.Nature Is My Teacher primarily deals with the physical, notional, and real world in general. The book contains chapters: The Nature (When nature teaches, we learn.); Mother Nature (Mother has been and will always remain synonymous with love, devotion, and dedication. Its personification as a nurturing mother is so primitive.); The Universe (The universe is a source of our profound wonder, awe, and joy.); Planet Earth (Why do the sun and the moon look more of the same size ); The Weather (By weather, we generally mean the state of the atmosphere at a given time and place.); The Air We Breathe (Every human deserves clean air and blue sky.) The Water We Drink (Human civilizations grew, shrunk, or abolished depending on the availability of water.) The Future of Nature (The full melting of Greenland's ice could raise sea level as much as 20 feet.); Origin of Life (What sparked life on earth ); Gift of Life (Life is the best gift to the fortunate few who got it.); Human Life (Human development is not only impossibly complex, but it is also a just marvelous.); Human Evolution (Human Evolution by natural selection is now being switched to evolution by human intervention.); Self and the Rest of the World (I am here because of you!); Time Goes By (Time is a very precious thing.); Life Changes Over Time (Humans are socially elastic and adaptive.); Worries, Anxieties, Fear, and Regret (We suffer from worrying well before worry starts or never starts.); How to Deal with Stress (The contemporary idea of stress is a very recent phenomenon.); Depression (Please stop merchandising mental illness!); Kindness and Devotion (Among all our base instincts, hate is one distinctly human. In animals, strength, violence, and venom are the weapons of survival, but in humans, their supremacy.); Charity and Humanity (Cheese in the mousetrap is not a charity.); The Power of Hope (Hope is a wonderful trick that Mother Nature has planted in the human mind that counterbalances our grief, sorrow, fear, dread, and regret. Hope is not a strategy, yet it is. During the time of war, hope is the weapon.); Education and Experience (We are not born knowledgeable. We gather knowledge primarily through education. Education is not a privilege; it is a civil right, precisely, a human right that refers to the 'basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are entitled.').…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Democratic Republic of Congo is endowed with immense mineral wealth. Its minerals include cobalt, copper, diamond, gold, iron, manganese, tantalum, tin, tungsten, and zinc. Yet the contribution of mineral abundance to the country's economic development is poor. The Congolese mining sector was initiated in 1905 with the creation of OKIMO (Office des Mines d'or de Kilo Moto) and UMHK (Union Minière du Haut-Katanga). The rapid development of mining companies improved economic growth until 1973, when President Mobutu introduced a variety of inadequate economic policies, including zairianization and radicalization, that slowed down economic development. The actual mining code was adopted in 2002 to enhance a mining sector that already collapsed. This study suggests a variety of mechanisms and measures that are meant to energize the Congolese mining sector and, hence, allow the country to benefit entirely from its mineral abundance. …

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'The main subject of the book 'Brooding Misery' by in large margin requires no description. Its mood is utterly bleak, however, there is much hope between the lines: 'Long is the way and hard that out of Hell leads up to light.'

In the broadest sense regarding the bounds and fetters of one's own personal hatred. In turn, by calling it to the surface, illuminating it, and exercising it like a poison from one's own soul.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - We are not afraid to say that we are fascinated by birds. Flying birds always provoke human admiration. There is this unexplained mysterious feeling that surrounds us when watching birds on the forest trees, in our backyard, at the ocean, sea, or lake. Birds are an infinite treasure of inspiration for humans, waking us up in the morning with beautiful birdsongs. Their little brain is of a size of an unshelled walnut and is associated with intelligent behavior and the same capabilities of humans and apes' mental tasks. When you think about all the animals in the world, you quickly realize that birds are, in fact, among some of the most intelligent creatures we have on earth. Although there are more than ten thousand bird species worldwide, only a handful of them have made the list for the extremely talented and incredibly intelligent. So who are these super intelligent feathered friends It is difficult to pick one. Perhaps kea, ravens, and crows are equally smart; while macaws, cockatoo, and jays are on the top of any list too. Who knew that an African gray is capable of working out the location of hidden food by using the kind of deduction and elimination skills previously seen only in humans and apes And as you probably have heard, they are exceptional talkers! Today, we all know that it is bad to imprison birds in cages, but it was not always the case throughout the history. According to Stephen King, 'Some birds are not meant to be caged, that's all. Their feathers are too bright, their songs too sweet and wild.' Due to beautiful poetry and cultural expressions, the flying bird became a symbol of freedom and independence. There are cases of historic acknowledgment of birdcages, especially in the Victorian era. People were listening to birdsongs in cages as it was their radio entertainment outlet. During wartimes, birds demonstrated their unique abilities in courageous heroic efforts to help humans in transferring information through the battlefields. The birds and birdcages both have a longtime history. Our love for the amazing earth creatures makes us stand out for their protection and safety to enjoy our shared inhabitants on the planet, and as for the birdcages, people find them pretty appealing in various ways of the aesthetic repurposing.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - To the prospective reader: Magistrate in Mobster-Ville is a novel that takes place within the metropolitan area of New Orleans, Louisiana. It illustrates the life of a young lawyer who devotes his career to the investigation and prosecution of crimes while negotiating the roadblocks of governmental bureaucracy. While the characters, occurrences, and venues discussed in this novel are fictitious, American district attorney's offices routinely deal with the types of bizarre events depicted in its chapters. In reality, prosecutors are rarely celebrated for their legal successes, but their infrequent miscalculations are publicly scrutinized by appellate courts and media outlets. The prospective reader may tend to question the motivation of a young law school graduate in pursuing a career within this thankless profession. The target audience for this work might be those considering a career in law enforcement or litigation or those who are already veterans of one of these career paths. I believe that it outlines most of the possible avenues and deviations that such a career might lead one to travel.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - There was a time when I had goals and dreams for my life, but now all I do is go to birthday parties. When I'm at these birthday parties I've noticed that the kids have fun, the women yak it up, but the men are as lost as lost could be. They are absolutely miserable. They remind me of the last scenes of the 1962 cult classic 'Carnival of Souls' where all the lifeless spirits just meander aroundaimlessly; their vital spark gone, their once twinkling eyes glazed over.During the week, these guys are attorneys, doctors, high-powered businessmen, pillars of the community, big shots of all kinds, but on the weekends at these kids' birthday parties they are all lost tormented souls. They are all mere pitiful shadows of their former selves. It soon became obvious to me that these fathers need guidance. I scoured bookstores for something that would help, but there was nothing. Therefore this book was born out of necessity. It is at once a survival guide, an instruction manual, and a rant and a half. The poet John Donne wrote that no man is an island. This book is my attempt to reach out to my fellow fathers. It is my hope that it will bring us all together and will help to end our suffering. No one else has stepped forward. Therefore I feel it's my duty; no, my mission, to lead all fathers out of the darkness, the nightmare, that is children's birthday parties. This book will help us all survive. …
