This coffee table book takes a look back at some of the most interesting and engaging drawings by Harold Maples, the long-time political cartoonist for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. A native-born Texan, Maples was a staple in Fort Worth for decades and was as loved by his community as he was by his die-hard fans. Political cartoons are excellent teachers of history, and readers will be amazed at how succinctly Maples boiled down complex ideas into simple and amusing drawings. As much as his skill is evident, however, his humorous, kind-hearted nature shows through every one of his cartoons. Author Devin McCue divided Maples's twenty-seven-year-long career into six broad categories that range from local sports to Cold War politics. Each chapter explores not only how Maples depicted an event or an idea but also how his craft and opinions evolved over time. Chapters like ""Vietnam"" shed light on how public opinion can evolve, showing how it shifted at each stage of the conflict and slowly changed as the war dragged on. Maples covered events that have been lost to the back pages of history books, so each cartoon is accompanied by an explanation that provides historical context as well as artistic analysis.

Projections of Dakar studies the audiovisual creations and practices of twenty-first-century Senegalese filmmakers living, working, and distributing their films in urban Senegal. Although some observers have described contemporary Senegalese cinema as a dying industry, this book shows that it retains great potential. Senegalese cinematic practitioners are forging unique, dynamic responses to social challenges and producing content in innovative forms. Like contemporary Senegalese cinema, African urban centers are often perceived as sites of despair and social decay. In each chapter of this book, Devin Bryson and Molly Krueger Enz focus on a particular urban issue and analyze how Senegalese filmmakers document and reimagine it from diverse perspectives and contexts. The authors draw from interviews and ethnographic observations to center filmmakers’ practices and conceptualizations of contemporary cinema in Dakar. Bryson and Enz trace developments in production, distribution, viewership, and audience response since 2012 to study how these films and their production both reveal and contribute to how people live in the city, relate to one another, build their lives, advocate for change, find joy and meaning, and build community. They also document and articulate more equitable and inclusive forms of these activities. Ultimately, the book illustrates how Senegalese filmmakers reimagine Africa as a place that will lead to a better future for its inhabitants.

"A man learns what a woman wants by what she accepts. When she changes what she accepts, he adapts. I want to change what you accept" an excerpt from Author / Relationship Guru "Egypt's" new book Change Him...In 100 Pages(R) In this controversial yet highly intriguing book, Egypt exposes a truth many choose not to believe, "Women can change men and have since the dawn of time". Changing a bad boy into a good man isn't the goal of every woman or this book. Showing a man how to handle a good thing...is the goal of this book. Engaging chapters such as, "Are You Encouraging Or Aggravating Him?" and "Is He Even Worth The Energy?" inspires readers to think, learn and act. a rare combination in relationship books. With 9+ years of research in the Holy Bible, Psychology, Behavioral Sciences, Independent Studies and his personal story of being changed by a woman, Egypt closes all doors to doubt of his findings. "Women set the standards on how they want to be treated. She's the gate and he pays a fee. Sometimes it's free, discounted or full price. No matter what, it's her choice"-Egypt. This is another message he motivates readers to understand. Some ask, "How can this be done in only 100 pages?" Egypt often replies, "Eve changed the world in a day. My book just puts some of her formula together for you...in 100pages."

Detective Fiction on the Case of Community uses one of the most popular forms of modern literature to examine one of modernity’s most trenchant problems. The project rests on the argument that detective fiction emerges specifically from an awareness of the stress that modernization puts on the possibilities of communal life, as industrialization and urbanism accelerate the alienation and atomization we recognize as modern conditions. Here the detective appears as an image of thinking still able to perceive the threads that link such alienated people together, and therefore able to imagine solutions along the lines of these obscured connections. Reading the genre’s journey, from its origins in Poe to its most unorthodox form in Pynchon, allows fresh perspectives on the possibilities and limits of modern community, from its endurance as part of modernization to its meaning today as a sticking point in theoretical debate and political activism.
This book shows how Chinese wisdom originating many centuries ago is still highly relevant to our lives today as the Daoist classics provide insightful prescriptions on how to live a life full of happiness, contentment, and healthy longevity. They also provide guidance regarding personal ethics, sustainable economics, and achieving enlightenment.The book contains reflections on how to achieve happiness drawing from the Liezi, a Daoist classic, and it examines Daoist ideas about nourishing life to achieve longevity and the marked similarity between these principles and people living in “blue zones” today with the highest concentration of centenarians. It explores Daoist views on consciousness and enlightenment in the Laozi and Zhuangzi and their close resemblance to some of the most influential “new age” teachings on the subject. It highlights the ethical character of a Daoist sage by drawing on the Daoist classic of the Wenzi and enumerates lessons for transitioning toward a sustainable economy from the Daodejing.Covering multiple dimensions of classical Daoist thought and their contemporary applications to human development and well-being, this text will usefully inform scholars, students, and researchers of Asian studies, religion, and philosophy, and individuals seeking self-improvement and personal wellness.
"Peace is the greatest of goals. In peace all other works come to fullness, without peace even success is left empty""You Choose as You are Chosen"Little Wisdom is a series of Spiritual Teachings, Poems, Short Stories, and Practices offered to readers to aid in the Return to Balance that must occur as we enter The Messianic Age. It is the first work of The Way of Unity, introducing readers to the message I was gifted to share from worlds beyond our own. The teachings, stories, and poems are meant to evoke discerning thought, shift our paradigm, and remind us of the wisdom of the old ways. As I write this work there are elders, deities, ancestors, spirits of Nature, and others who come to share their thoughts and words. As I write Creator and the Spirit of Creation guide my thoughts. Though I am the author I am not the only contributor. I am a medicine man with traditional values, the world calls us shaman. This is my medicine. It is with much effort that I have been gifted the ability to bring the teachings shared here into this world. Blessings and Peace, Brothers and Sisters.There is a gate in Little Wisdom for those who seek it. There is a gate into the Spirit and out of the outskirts. Those seeking to become spirits will benefit greatly from Little Wisdom."Enlightenment is not a great thing. It is a humble and Powerful thing. To place enlightenment, of any kind, upon a pedestal is to take away its Light. This does not mean one should not honor wisdom for its Way, it means that we must not deny enlightenment's attainment by placing it beyond our reach.""Every tree is a Buddha, every blade of grass enlightened."
The Path of Fullness is a map of The Spirit of Creation. It is a map to mark The Way. It is a journey of healing and self-discovery. It is a pathway existing in all things that is 'The-Coming-Together-Of-All-Things' manifesting. In The Path of Fullness I share universal Knowledge that any and everyone may apply to learn to live in alignment with the energetic laws and universal principles that govern creation. Creation is an energetic machine. We are energetic machines within the energetic machine of creation. When we learn to align with the energetic principles, the natural laws, of creation we step into the fullness of Life. The Path of Fullness is a gathering of Knowledge that seeks to offer all people what they need to step into their alignment. That alignment is the individual spirit of universal principle. This, The Path of Fullness, is the first book of my revelation In The Path of Fullness I share Knowledge that has come to me through revelation and spiritual practice. Some items include: Omnitheism; All things are Truth manifesting, and so Creator exists in all things. They are the manifestation of Truth in all things, and so The Way is marked by universal integrity. The Way, even exists in all things are their Truth manifesting. Our Way is set down even before this life. This Truth which is our own, being held in the universal principles of creation, is The-One-Who-Created-All manifesting. Fate's Paradox; You choose as you are chosen. This is how fate and free-will reconcile within the energetic realities of creation. They reconcile in soulful choice, and as they harmonize they create coincidence and manifestation. We are made to choose what is ours, remembering, also, that universal integrity. In this way fate and free-will reconcile. Unity; All things, in their most essential nature, return to Oneness. That Oneness passes outside of Time and is the origin of all things. Unity is a name of Creator. Unity is 'The Coming Together of All Things'. Unity is all things in that Oneness from which all things came, and still remaining in all things. Creation is the body of Creator Soul; Soul is the origin of individuality and is kept in the Oneness of creation. The health of our soul is well measured by our willingness to uphold Life. Consciousness: Consciousness is an essential building block of creation. Consciousness exists in all things, for Creator conceived of Themself consciously. In all things there is Consciousness. It is the organization of Consciousness that changes. .
Need to run a workshop? Your attendees are trusting you with their time and attention. What are you giving them in return?Most workshops don't work. They fail to deliver real results and they fail to keep the audience energetic and engaged. They're stressful to run and painful to attend.Designing and running a brilliant workshop is easier than you think. It's not about flashy showmanship or natural charisma. Instead, it's about following a set of clear, simple rules for structuring and arranging the day.Discover and use key design principles such as: Naturally refresh and maintain the audience's attention and energy by alternating the "teaching format" (e.g. lecture, small group discussion, hands-on practice) every 20 minutes and making strategic use of good breaksDramatically improve your educational impact by choosing an exercise which is properly matched to the type of knowledge/skill/wisdom currently being taughtSave dozens of hours by beginning your design process with a simple "skeleton" of Learning Outcomes and timings rather than jumping straight into slides and materialsFinish on time, every time, by intentionally designing flexible "schedule springs" into your session, allowing you to seamlessly adjust to delays and bad luck, and to ensure that everyone learns what they came for without running lateThe first half of the book covers everything you'll need to know about designing and refining the session itself. With a good design in hand, teaching a brilliant workshop goes from arduous to nearly automatic.The second half of the book shifts from ahead-of-time design to day-of facilitation.Learn the essential facilitation needed to solve unexpected problems and run a smooth, stress-free workshop: Reliable tools and tactics for crowd control, recovering attention, and shifting between tasks (without feeling like you're fighting against your audience)Clear guidance for picking the best room setup, and also improving a "bad" room to make the most of itSpotting and problem-solving the six major types of "difficult" attentees who are being either accidentally or intentionally disruptive (including the most common issue of bringing a hostile expert onto your side)Checklists and reminders of what to bring, what to do, and when to do it, in order to ensure that nothing gets forgotten, overlooked, or lostAt no point in the book will we ask you to "put on a big smile" or "project confidence". That's fluffy BS which doesn't work. Instead, we'll give you clear, concrete tools for managing a crowd and seamlessly guiding everyone to an effective outcome.Why we're the right authors to help you succeedOver the last 15 years, we've designed and run a huge number of successful workshops (and a few major flops) covering every type of audience: executives, undergrads, MBAs, disadvantaged youths, busy professionals, and more. We've designed everything from 20-minute teasers to 3-month intensives, in locations ranging from Costa Rica and Qatar to London and Berlin.We've taught for companies like HP and Deloitte and for universities like Oxford and NYU. We've built workshops for every price point, from free upskilling (paid for by the state or employer) through to $4000-per-seat premium events. We've taught casual sessions, with beer in hand and flip-flop on foot, through to formal, posh affairs with glitzy venues and high-end catering. In every case, no matter where it was located or who it was for, the process outlined in these pages worked.Perhaps most importantly, we can teach you how to do this. We've trained up teachers from scratch who are now billing upwards of $5000 per day and getting invited back to teach again and again. This stuff isn't complicated. You can learn it
