Описание: Connie Tollefson lives in Surrey, North Dakota. She was blessed with three children, who are all married and have children of their own, her husband (Chuck), and she have seven grandchildren. She recently retired from teaching preschool in her nearby city. She had the greatest experience being a paraprofessional in her school district, teaching students that had disabilities. After she retired from the school district, she always dreamed to somehow connect a story with a real, visual structure. Her dream came true. Her dream is to bring laughter, happiness, and adventure to children that are not so fortunate in far-away countries. Dreams have many memories for all ages.

Описание: Excerpt from On Railroad Injuries of the Extremities of the Human Body: With Observations on the Site of Amputation and Subsequent Treatment of the Stump In some cases it has been observed that the muscles slough to a much greater extent than the skin, giving the stump a cupped appearance, with the bone projecting from the centre; the whole resembling an old fashioned candlestick. Since the introduction of anaesthetics, shock from ope ration has been reduced to a minimum, and therefore-the removal of a few more inches of the limb, is of very little consequence so far as the safety of the individual is con cerned and the perfection reached in the adaptation of artificial limbs amply compensates for the increased shortening. All these considerations should outweigh the risks of amputation in the immediate proximity of the injury.

This book is the outgrowth of many years of stories, questions and travels that have been cultivated over time. Being adopted, I have to take others' word for the beginning of my story. It is said I was found on my adopted parents porch one cold fall morning when still an infant. I didn't know at that stage, for my parents never told me anything regarding the adoption until my biological father's death. It has taken me fifty years to slow down long enough to get the facts of my early life down on paper and in order. Over that period numerous people asked me why I wasn't curious about my family and the reasons why I was put up for adoption. It did make me wonder for a few minutes from time to time, but it was history and I was busy making a life as a doctor, a family man and a future. Now the imminent is here, and I have most of the answers to my questions to share with others in the world.

In an unlikely narrative, readers learn about Alan's life as a congenital below-knee amputee. In a very delightful and provocative manner, Alan relates his personal memoirs and shares historical and imagined characters who are like-amputees. Alan's writing style is fascinatingly varied, and insightful into his own self-discovery. He shares intimate details that enable readers to appreciate his story and perspective. This book is a celebration of Alan - his person, determination, and his insatiable desire for truth." Tamara Dean, Director, Fairhope Public Library Alan Samry's "Stump the Librarian" is a deeply felt, extensively researched, and emotionally engaging work. The seemingly ordinary story of a librarian with a prosthetic leg becomes, in Samry's honest and eloquent telling, a remarkable journey through memoir, history, and literature.

A comprehensive guide to the fundamentals of Buddhism, how it specifically evolved in Tibet and the Himalaya, and how it is practised today in Tibet, India, Nepal and Bhutan.
This is a good introduction for the general public, and travellers to the region, including the many trekkers who now venture into these parts. The book avoids the overtly religious or academic tone found in some other texts on the subject. It is abundantly illustrated, with over three hundred photographs, annotated images and maps.
Written by Colin Stump, who previously managed a global group of adventure travel companies, this book aims to demystify some of the complexities that travellers in the region will see.
What are prayers flags for? What do all these angry-looking deities on the temple walls mean? What is tantra? What are the monks trying to achieve when they meditate? Why are there so many different buddhas? Who is the Dalai Lama?
The book begins with a straightforward explanation of the basic principles of Buddhism and how the fundamental philosophies evolved into Mahayana, and ultimately the more esoteric form, Vajrayana or Tantric Buddhism, popularly known today as Tibetan Buddhism.
Explanation of ritual, practise, and the supporting iconography is given, aided by plentiful colour images, maps, and illustrations. Each of the main traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, Nyingma, Sakya, Kagy , and Geluk are covered in turn, with some history, and then detail on their specific practises and institutions.
Finally, Buddhism as practised in India, now home to many Tibetan refugees, Nepal, Bhutan, and Tibet is covered, bringing the reader right up to date with the challenges facing this fascinating tradition.
