Christopher Hodson, "The Acadian Diaspora: An Eighteenth-Century History "
English | ISBN: 0190610735 | 2017 | 274 pages | PDF | 8 MB
Late in 1755, an army of British regulars and Massachusetts volunteers completed one of the cruelest, most successful military campaigns in North American history, capturing and deporting seven thousand French-speaking Catholic Acadians from the province of Nova Scotia, and chasing an equal number into the wilderness of eastern Canada. Thousands of Acadians endured three decades of forced migrations and failed settlements that shuttled them to the coasts of South America, the plantations of the Caribbean, the frigid islands of the South Atlantic, the swamps of Louisiana, and the countryside of central France.

Terra preta is the Portuguese name of a type of soil which is thought to have almost miraculous properties. The newspapers are flooded with reports about "black gold," scientists believe that two of the greatest problems facing the world - climate change and the hunger crisis - can be solved by it. The beauty of it is that everyone can do something about it because since 2005 the secret of producing this black soil has been revealed - and it is a secret that seemed to have been lost forever with the downfall of the once thriving Indian culture of the Amazon basin. The recipe is astonishingly simple as all you need are kitchen or garden wastes, charcoal and earthworms, so it can be produced on every balcony or on the smallest of garden Descriptions.

Susan Campbell, "Tempest-Tossed: The Spirit of Isabella Beecher Hooker"
English | 2014 | pages: 240 | ISBN: 081957340X | PDF | 8,3 mb
Tempest-Tossed is the first full biography of the passionate, fascinating youngest daughter of the "Fabulous Beecher" family―one of America's most high-powered families of the nineteenth century. Older sister Harriet Beecher Stowe was the author of Uncle Tom's Cabin. Brother Henry Ward Beecher was one of America's most influential ministers, and sister Catherine Beecher wrote pivotal works on women's rights and educational reform. And then there was Isabella Beecher Hooker―"a curiously modern nineteenth-century figure." She was a leader in the suffrage movement, and a mover and shaker in Hartford's storied Nook Farm neighborhood and salon. But there is more to the story―to Isabella's character―than that.

Teaching as a Professional Discipline: A Multi-dimensional Model By Dr Geoffrey Squires, Geoffrey Squires
1999 | 172 Pages | ISBN: 0750709235 | PDF | 2 MB
This work argues that the lack of agreed theory of teaching is one of the most important and yet intractable problems facing education. Questions of training and assessment currently take place according to the criteria of many and diverse theories, most of which are dualistic and incompatible with each other. The author proposes a new intergrated model of teaching, derived from aspects of the professional discipline of teaching. The three characteristics of the professional teacher are laid out - being instrumental, being contingent, and being procedural. The questions asked are: what do teachers do?; what affects what they do?; and how do they do it? The resulting multi-dimensional model seeks to challenge and stimulate education researchers and teacher trainers, as well as those with an interest in the constitution of professional discipline.

Tasting the Past: Recipes from the Middle Ages to the Civil War by Jacqui Wood
English | June 1, 2020 | ISBN: 0750992247 | 272 pages | PDF | 4.43 Mb
The many influences of the past on our diet today make the concept of "British food" very hard to define. The Celts, Romans, Saxons, Vikings, and Normans all brought ingredients to the table, as it were, and onwards the Crusades spread all manner of spices. The Georgians enjoyed a new level of excess, and then of course the world wars forced everyone into the challenge of making meals from very little. The post-war period brought convenience foods, and health issues which are being felt widely now. This is the first study of the rich history of British food, its fads and its fashions to be combined with a practical cookbook of over 200 recipes from each age for use today.

Yvonne M. Agazarian, "Systems-Centered Training: An Illustrated Guide for Applying a Theory of Living Human Systems"
English | ISBN: 0367649241 | 2020 | 258 pages | PDF | 19 MB
This illustrated book shows how "thinking" systems offer new ways of seeing people which can help us see and do things differently. The authors describe how a theory of living human systems was developed and even recently revised. This major revision led to a theory of the person-as-a-system and its role-systems map that helps us see which system in us and in others is running the show.
