Описание: When author Zetta Sylvia Baillou-Poitier met her husband, Floyd, in 1988, it was love at first sight. She had no idea he carried the sickle-cell trait, and he had no idea Zetta also had the sickle-cell trait. But it set the stage for the challenges the couple would face as they started a family together. In Facing Two Sickles, Zetta shares the story of raising two children diagnosed with sickle-cell disease, an inherited condition affecting a person's haemoglobin. In this memoir, she offers a look at the disease, its symptoms, its treatment, and she tells how she leaned on the Lord. Facing Two Sickles offers encouragement and inspiration to caretakers and parents of children with sickle-cell disease. Through Zetta's personal story, it helps one cope with the death of a loved one, and it sends the message that those coping with dire illness and loss are not alone.

Описание: Honey Girl & Bella: A Hero's Journey is a delightfully written and illustrated book for children at the 3rd grade reading level. Wonderful for read-aloud, and loaded with vocabulary and situations to challenge and entertain independent readers. Look for the ways we show examples of empowerment and facing bullies, overcoming obstacles, making friends outside one's normal sphere, seeing leadership as a function of heart, accomplishing a goal in the face of doubt and opposition. Illustrations are entirely hand-cut colorful paper. Search each page for extra critters, sometimes hidden. This is the story of farmyard chickens that respond to the need to fix two big problems: a bullying rat in the farmyard, Ralf, who seems to be the source of a lot of arguments and hurtful rumors; and suddenly Raven has reached into the kitchen window and snatched Lady's golden heart pendant, then flown off with it. The story unfolds with wise old Manx cat suggesting to Honey Girl that after Old Rooster retired the farmyard needs a new leader - and it could be her. Reluctant at first, Honey Girl insists she hasn't a single idea how to do that. When Honey Girl and her friend Bella assert they want to get the heart back for Lady, Manx cat encourages Honey Girl to find courage, face risk, and return as a leader. Now the pair of chickens go on their quest and meet obstacles and enemies and make friends with an unlikely group, a flock of crows. Drawing on some elements of The Hero's Journey, an underlying theme of many of the world's greatest tales of discovery, triumph and salvation, our story includes: 1. A Reluctant Responding to the Call, 2. Hearing the Message of a Mentor, 3. Receiving Visitation from the Supernatural, 4. Overcoming Obstacles and Foes, 5. Experiencing a Personal Transformation, 6. Enlisting an Unlikely Ally, 7. Returning the Treasure and Bringing Change to the Land. The Hero's Journey could be described as a set pattern of steps that need to be taken to bring transformation to an individual and ultimately to all the people. The stories of Greek heroes, tales from ancient India, Viking myths and even modern literature and movies such as Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars - all show that the Hero's Journey can be as much a story telling tool as it is a template for all of our life experiences.
Автор: Boulard Garry Название: Daniel Sickles: a Life ISBN: 1532088434 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781532088438 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 30340.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The name Daniel Sickles and the word controversy are synonymous. Any student of 19th century American political history is familiar with Sickles' 1859 murder of Philip Barton Key, the son of Francis Scott Key, who had seduced Sickles' young wife. That murder, because Sickles was at the time a New York Congressman and Key a district attorney for Washington, captured the country's imagination, a front-page event that inevitably ensnarled President James Buchanan, a close Sickles friend, inviting in the process explorations of what was seen as a sordid Washington society of the late 1850s. Civil War historians know Sickles as the General who led the men of the Union's III Corps out onto the exposed expanse of the Peach Orchard at Gettysburg, a decision many scholars have regarded as disastrous, and one that nearly led to an overall Union defeat at the famous battlefield, while losing for Sickles his right leg from Confederate shelling. But these two singular, if spectacular events, in a very real sense represent only two days out of an extraordinary lifetime of 94 years. The rest of Sickles' career was made up of his rise as a young stalwart of New York's notorious Tammany Hall; his two terms in Congress leading up to the Civil War; his contentious service as a military governor of the Carolinas after the War; his newsworthy tenure as U.S. Minister to Spain in the late 1860s and early 70s; and even his stint, at the age of 70, as the sheriff of the county encompassing New York City. Beyond the headlines were Sickles' relationships with presidents ranging from Franklin Pierce to Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant, not to mention an improbable friendship with Theodore Roosevelt at the turn of the century. Daniel Sickles: A Life is the first full-length published treatment looking in depth at the entirely of one man's almost unbelievably colorful and contentious career. Garry Boulard is the author of The Expatriation of Franklin Pierce-The Story of a President and the Civil War (iUniverse, 2006), and The Worst President-The Story of James Buchanan (iUniverse, 2015). Boulard's essays and reviews have appeared in the Journal of Southern History, Journal of Ethnic Studies, Louisiana History, Journal of Mississippi History, and Florida Historical Quarterly, among many other publications.

In the summer of 1957, the children of Peak City are about to learn a hard lesson. When Peggy Noodle moves into the neighborhood, speculation is high that she'll be a shoe-in for the basketball team--after all, she's tall and adventurous and everyone assumes she'll be a star. But looks can be deceiving, and by the time it's too late to convince them otherwise, she leads her team to a disastrous defeat.
Peggy finds an unexpected friend in her kind, elderly neighbor, Mrs. Moore, who invites her to learn how to hula hoop. Peggy realizes quickly that hula hooping is perfect for her, and the two set out to show Peggy's friends and the town how fun and sporty hula hooping can be. They hatch a plan to help the community build a fun new legacy by bringing the First Annual Tri-City Hoopla to Peak City, and along the way draw Peggy's friends into the fun of hula hooping. Because when you find something you love to do, it's easy to do it well.

Описание: Organized religion is both lauded and scorned these days. Spirituality, rather than formal religion, is often cited as religious expression of choice. These essays combine both and examine them from the viewpoint of someone who has lived within the confines of an organized religion and who has moved away from it.
This book is the third in a series prepared by the author on traditional weapons from the African Continent. The first volume focuses on weapons with a straight symmetrical blade and double cutting edges such as daggers, various types of swords, and peculiar cutting side arms with divergent edges. In the second volume the author looks at weapons with straight or curved blades and a main convex cutting edge. In this third volume the author examines a group of unusual edged weapons showing analogies to agricultural implements. These weapons are characterized by a bent or curved blade with a main concave cutting edge. They can be compared to billhooks, sickles and scythes. Mostly originating from Central Africa these objects were produced during the 19th century and early 20th century. Their use was mainly linked with status, parade and dance, however very large examples or plain blades were also practical fighting weapons.
