Author: Dustin Teudhope
Publisher: Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.
ISBN: 1642996157
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 62
Book Description
Success can be defined as the accomplishment of an aim or achieving what you set out to do. Dustin Teudhope has certainly been successful at what he has set out to do in the forest. After encountering a big hairy predator traveling in a bipedal manner through the woods he was hunting, he made it his mission to get video footage of the animals, and he actually accomplished it. Now he has his sights on helping the rest of the world achieve similar success. In this book, he provides his methods, ideas, opinions, and beliefs about the real animal monsters that he named bewerearillas. He also hopes to bring a drastic decrease to the dreadful missing people phenomena that has been plaguing our national forest and park wilderness areas. He believes that the more people who are aware of these woodland monsters that truly are lurking around out there, the less people will disappear. Bottom line is that he wants to help more people choose to believe, so Dustin decided to provide advice for people to go out and find evidence of their own. This book definitely sheds light on a dark and eerie subject, but it will also warm your heart if you let it.

Ecology for Nonecologists
Author: Frank R. Spellman
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 0865871973
Category : Ecology
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
Written for anyone who works with chemicals or has a general interest in ecology, this book examines the interrelationship of life forms in our environment and provides straightforward explanations about the complicated interactions among nature and humans. Emphasizing basic concepts, definitions, and descriptions, the author presents illustrative problems in terms of commonly used ecological parameters to provide readers with enough information to make technical and personal decisions about ecology. Funneling the broad, multidisciplinary field of ecology, which incorporates aspects of biology, chemistry, physics, geology, meteorology, agriculture, forestry, and more into a single stream, the author provides those with backgrounds in only a handful, or even none, of these disciplines with an easy-to-read understanding of the functions and values of ecology and its interrelationships with other sciences, including ecology's direct impact on our lives. Organized into three parts, this book examines the fundamentals of ecology, the role of biodiversity, and the practical side of ecology. Readers will examine such topics as biogeochemical cycles, ecological pyramids, and the laws of population ecology. They will also examine species, terrestrial ecosystems, and aquatic systems. Each chapter ends with a Chapter Review Test.

Reviews for A BAD BOY IS GOOD TO FIND: “Jennifer Lewis has written a hot read with enough hairpin turns to give you whiplash! Grab a fan, enjoy a fun read!” “It is HOT but also very emotional. I will definitely be recommending this book!” “A Bad Boy is Good to Find is fiery and heartfelt, seductive and emotional, with compelling characters fighting a lot of demons.” “A modern riches to rags to riches story with an alluring Southern guy and sassy female lead. I love the Louisiana setting!” “Jennifer Lewis really knows how to bring out the laughter and the heartbreak in one sitting.” A BAD BOY IS GOOD TO FIND begins the way most romances end, with kisses, caresses and professions of love. But when New York heiress Lizzie Hathaway finds out the man of her dreams is only after her money—which her father just lost in a publicized scandal—she knocks him unconscious with a champagne bottle, and runs off. Conroy Beale may be a little wayward, but he’s not heartless. When his quiet, studious Lizzie goes on a dangerous partying binge, he tracks her down, kidnaps her, and forces her to dry out. Lizzie wants revenge on everyone, including Con, and he reluctantly agrees to go along with her scheme to exploit her unwelcome notoriety for money. Her plan explodes in her face when she drags Con and a camera crew back to the Louisiana swamp he’s been running from all his life. Now Con must confront the pain he tried to escape, Lizzie fights feelings that don’t follow any script, and there’s that troublesome attraction that threatens to boil the bayou… WARNING: A BAD BOY IS GOOD TO FIND by Jennifer Lewis is NOT for the shy, those who blush easily or have a heart condition! It’s that hot! (Net Galley reviewer) tags: emotional, romance, new adult, hot, steamy, bad boy, Louisiana, heiress, Reality TV, New York

Acting for Singers
Author: David Ostwald
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0195145402
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
Written to meet the needs of thousands of students and pre-professional singers participating in production workshops and classes in opera and musical theater, Acting for Singers leads singing performers step by step from the studio or classroom through audition and rehearsals to a successful performance. Using a clear, systematic, positive approach, this practical guide explains how to analyze a script or libretto, shows how to develop a character building on material in the score, and gives the singing performer the tools to act believably. More than just a "how-to" acting book, however, Acting for Singers also addresses the problems of concentration, trust, projection, communication, and the self-doubt that often afflicts singers pursuing the goal of believable performance. Part I establishes the basic principles of acting and singing together, and teaches the reader how to improvise as a key tool to explore and develop characters. Part II teaches the singer how to analyze theatrical work for rehearsing and performing. Using concrete examples from Carmen and West Side Story, and imaginative exercises following each chapter, this text teaches all singers how to be effective singing actors.

Exploring Animal Behavior in Laboratory and Field
Author: Bonnie J. Ploger
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0125583303
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 494
Book Description
Designed to provide a variety of exercises that engage students actively in all phases of scientific investigation, from formulating research questions through interpreting and presenting final results. Suited to undergraduates, each chapter presents an animal behavior exercise tested by academic members of the Animal Behavior Society. Four types of exercises are presented: (1) traditional exercises in which students follow a pre-determined protocol to test particular hypotheses, (2) traditional exercises that can easily be adapted to inquiry-based approaches, (3) combined pedagogy exercises that involve both traditional and inquiry approaches, and (4) inquiry exercises in which students brainstorm to generate their own hypotheses, then design their own experiments to test them. Exercises cover descriptive ethology, causation and development of behavior, and behavioral ecology. Both field and laboratory exercises are included on arthropods, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.

The Blab of the Paved
Author: Jeff Spanke
Publisher: IAP
ISBN: 1641139803
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
This narrative ethnography adopts an aesthetic lens to relay the various lived experiences of a non-traditional, Midwestern public high school during its final year in its original building. Extending upon previous research of high school dropouts, I examine how this one particular high school incorporated a self-paced curriculum with a focus on “family” to address the unique learning needs of students at risk of not graduating. By employing elements of grounded theory, narrative inquiry, and autoethnography, I share the stories of Walgut High School’s (a pseudonym) roughly sixty students as they struggle to navigate their respective roles in a dominant cultural narrative to which they’ve never felt like they belonged. Through the extensive and organic voices of the primary participants—as well as my observations of my own participation in the school culture over the course of a year—this project serves to offer insights not only into the school experiences of marginalized adolescents, but also into Walgut’s myriad successes and failures. In particular, this piece highlights the vitality of unconditionally caring or “hospitable” teachers (Derrida, 2000), while ultimately questioning the presumed utility of a high school diploma. The story concludes not by lauding the alternative mine created for Walgut’s canaries, but by questioning the purpose and stability of all scholastic minds. As American schools continue making strides to accommodate and support the complex and oftentimes contradictory needs of their students, what it means to succeed as a teacher in (and prepare teachers for) these diversified, inclusive learning spaces is growing increasingly complicated. Indeed, given the shifting paradigm of American public education, teacher preparation programs must continue to adapt their practices and philosophies in order to equip their teacher candidates with the skills needed not only to thrive but also find purpose and meaning in schools similar to this project’s Walgut. While this book doesn’t claim to offer any answers to the myriad questions concerning the future of public schools, it does endeavor to offer a springboard from which all education stakeholders can continue engaging in healthy and productive discussions of how best to prepare students (and teachers) for autonomous, democratic, curious, creative, and compassionate citizenship both in and apart from their academic communities. To this end, rather than write from a detached, traditionally academic vantage, I have sought in these pages to compose from a personal (albeit limited), passionate (albeit subjective) and participatory (albeit someone marginalized) perspective. In my pursuit of social justice for the characters of Walgut High School, I begin first by exposing my own privileged role in perpetuating injustice. Only through recognizing and naming our own demons can we ever begin to exorcize the System writ large. Thus, in this book’s lack, there is possibility; in its futility, hope.
