Book Description
What Shall We Do Now? by Dorothy Canfield Fisher is an interesting collection of games for adults and children. Fisher's games are interesting in that they instill a sense of know-how in young children as preparation for the broader world. Excerpt: "In the following pages, which have something to say concerning most of the situations in which children find themselves, at home or in the country, out of doors or in, alone or in the company, a variety of answers will be found. No subject can be said to be exhausted, but the book is perhaps large enough. Everything which it contains has been indexed so clearly that a reader ought to be able to find what he wants in a moment."

Book Description
'What Shall We Do?' is a non-fiction work by Leo Tolstoy in which he describes the social conditions of Russia in the late 19th century. He described it as the following, in his own words: "In Moscow it is impossible to pass a street without meeting beggars of a peculiar kind, quite unlike those in the country, who go about there, as the saying is, "with a bag and the name of Christ. The Moscow beggars neither carry a bag nor ask for alms. In most cases when they meet you, they try to catch your eye, and then act according to the expression on your face."

Book Description
"Never before have so many Americans been more frustrated with our economic system, more fearful that it is failing, or more open to fresh ideas about a new one. The seeds of a new economy--and, if we act upon it, a new system--are forming. What is that next system? It's not corporate capitalism, not state socialism, but something else--something entirely American. In What Then Must We Do?, Gar Alperovitz speaks directly to the reader about why the time is right for a revolutionary new economy movement, what it means to democratize the ownership of wealth, what it will take to build a new system to replace the decaying one--and how to strengthen our communities through cooperatives, worker-owned companies, neighborhood corporations, small and medium-size independent businesses, and publicly owned enterprises. For the growing group of Americans pacing at the edge of confidence in the old system, or already among its detractors, What Then Must We Do? offers an evolutionary, common-sense solution for moving from despair and anger to strategy and action."--Publisher's website.

Book Description
The authors skillfully combine a philosophical and pragmatic approach, exploring the cognitive processes behind children’s painting. To deepen children’s understanding, the book suggests meaningful tasks for each phase of imagery and offers methods for encouraging children to discuss the concepts involved in their work. Focusing on children from 1-1/2 to 11, the authors include in this second edition: a more detailed discussion about painting in the preschool; an expanded description of techniques effective in motivating five- and six-year-olds; and a stronger emphasis on painting as a more central, rather than occasional, activity in all classrooms. “Experience and Art is a lean, wise, and useful book . . . that speaks to those who teach children.” —From the Foreword by Elliot W. Eisner

Book Description
Brave swordsman Nico, now in his fifties, has been married to sorceress Veras for twenty years, their daughter, Justice now sixteen. His thoughts are often with his daughter as she develops her sword and archery skills. But when tragedy strikes, his life is changed forever. While Nico struggles, his daughter finds that she has inherited a great deal of her mother’s magic. This magic is very strong, and she requires the aid of Superior Sorcerer Xyron to learn to manage it. While the family is challenged with their own struggles, trespassers enter the City of Espri from Queen Brillianna’s neighbouring realm, with a plan to expand their own territory into this one. As armies cross the border river into King Yurmar’s land, Queen Brillianna’s sorceress uses sinister spells to render Yurmar’s people helpless. The finest practitioners of magic are sent to battle this strange power, including the palace sorcerer Wystan, Superior Xyron, Justice, Giever, Aislinn, and Creda. Joining them are warriors Joul Zann, Ferren, and Nico’s son Aldred. However, King Yurmar has asked Nico to remain in the city. But Nico has had a dream. In it, it is his fate to save Justice’s life as she battles Brillianna’s sorceress. Will he remain behind? Or will he lose his own life to save his daughter’s?

Book Description
The traditional model of consulting places an emphasis on diagnosing a problem and finding a cure. But in today’s business world of globalized organizations, rapid knowledge proliferation, and the intertwining of economies, that approach is becoming less and less viable; problems are quickly redefined, new knowledge (and ownership of that knowledge) is constantly surfacing and being challenged, and no solution is a permanent solution. Consulting in Uncertainty articulates a model of consulting that addresses the uncertainty and interconnectedness of the world in a post-industrial, knowledge era. Emphasizing outcomes and inquiry over ‘diagnosis’, Brooks and Edwards outline this new consulting model, as well as the skills consultants must bring to the table in any uncertain and dynamic environment. Integrating practical knowledge with scholarship, this book covers skills such as: Relational skills and the consulting relationship Cultural awareness and related skills Contextual analysis Facilitating inquiry Collecting and efficiently analyzing data or information Consultants and students of consulting, as well as managers, teachers, counselors, and even parents, will find this book enlightening and useful in navigating today’s uncertain world.
