As a Baby Duck Listens to Thunder is a love story.... My position as a Foreign Expert in English was my first real teaching job in a career that spanned more than thirty years. I could never have imagined China would be a destination in my life, but it was. And at such a moment in history Chairman Mao had been dead only six years. The evil Gang of Four had been "tried" only the year before. The horrors of the Cultural Revolution were still close in everyone's memory, and people feared that the post-Mao moment of comparative freedom was a random blip. Deng Xiao Ping was determined that China would modernize and enter the world as a competitor. Every single penny of foreign exchange that came to China was used to buy technology to further China's modernization. I was one of those "bits of technology," too.Propelled by a consuming wanderlust, I took my ignorance and inexperience with me, and ended up receiving some of life's great gifts. My students' diligence, curiosity and courage inspired me, and, in turn, I inspired them. The bridge between our cultures was a shared love of poetry and beautiful language. As for China? China was the great love of my life. This edition has dozens of black and white illustrations. REVIEW BY A READER IN INDIA: REVIEW FROM AMAZON INDIA: 5.0 out of 5 stars"Big Brother was our friend"2 September 2019Format: Kindle EditionVerified PurchaseA very interesting memoir of a foreign teacher of English in China in the early '80s, just as China was opening up. I find it especially interesting because of the close parallels between India and China. The stories of culture shock, and the friendships that can start when you go beyond it, lift this book beyond most personal memoirs. It is interesting how some of the book still trmains accurate about 21st century China.

Coaching Flag Football B&W Edition: What to expect as a parent volunteer and how to succeed

Jason Richardson

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2017
nidottu
After over two decades of coaching youth sports, Jason is sharing some of the secrets of success. This book will take you from pre-season to post-season, helping you survive and enjoy your volunteer time. Focusing on the reason we are volunteering, our kids, you'll walk into practices and games with more confidence that you are bringing value to their time. Although this is geared toward parents who are fairly new to coaching (or new to coaching flag football) it is also relevant to coaches that were assistants but never head coaches and any coach that may have struggled coaching flag football in the past. There are drills to run during practices and a methodology for easily communicating plays to the kids. That methodology applies to the 5 on 5 that most leagues run, but can expand to other leagues as necessary. It's also flexible enough to take advantage of the flag football plays you can find with a simple Internet search. Jason also focuses on teaching defensive skills like flag pulling techniques and "staying home". We know that you want confidence in your coaching while making sure your child and their teammates are both having fun and improving. The focus of this book is to make sure both you and those players are covered.Expect answers to the following questions: What do I need to focus on in practice? What drills can I run to keep players engaged, active, and improving?How do I teach the players the plays and have them run them during the games?How do I take the millions of plays that are on the Internet and adapt them ?How do I teach my players how to defend? Effectively? What should I be doing before the games, after the games?What should I be saying to the parents?What happens after the last game?

The Rev. J. W. Loguen, as a Slave and as a Freeman

The Rev. J. W. Loguen, as a Slave and as a Freeman

J.W. Loguen

Syracuse University Press
2016
nidottu
The Rev. Jermain Wesley Loguen was a pioneering figure in early nineteenthcentury abolitionism and African American literature. A highly respected leader in the AME Zion Church, Rev. Loguen was popularly known as the ""Underground Railroad King"" in Syracuse, where he helped over 1,500 fugitives escape from slavery. With a charismatic and often controversial style, Loguen lectured alongside Frederick Douglass and worked closely with well-known abolitionists such as Harriet Tubman, William Wells Brown, and William Lloyd Garrison, among others. Originally published in 1859, The Rev. J. W. Loguen chronicles the remarkable life of a tireless young man and a passionate activist. The narrative recounts Loguen’s early life in slavery, his escape to the North, and his successful career as a minister and abolitionist in New York and Canada. Given the text’s third-person narration and novelistic style, scholars have long debated its authorship. In this edition, Williamson uncovers new research to support Loguen as the author, providing essential biographical information and buttressing the significance of his life and writing. The Rev. J. W. Loguen represents a fascinating literary hybrid, an experiment in voice and style that enlarges our understanding of the slave narrative.

I am very moved by these stories, and not only because they are my father's. They are evidence of the human spirit that refuses to be overcome by circumstances, even though the circumstances may be horrific. In the overview of the facts of his life, you see him heading off to war full of energy and focus, albeit in his case volunteering to undertake any exceptionally dangerous mission as he was unattached and had recently lost both his father and his beautiful home. Like everyone heading off to war, he was completely unaware of what horrors lay in store for him. He was involved in two major evacuations of troops in Greece in the early part of the war when the Allied troops were not doing very well. He suffered the loss of many of his men, which he obviously felt very keenly. A German army unit captured him as a consequence of a demeaning order from his superior. This capture resulted in severe injuries and the loss of his memory. He then spent nearly two years in POW hospitals and camps until he was repatriated and sent back to New Zealand in 1943. Despite all this he was contacted by the resistance while in the prison camps and obviously became active within the network. H Force was the name of this Intelligence Unit, and it covered underground operations in Italy, Greece, Albania, Yugoslavia and Crete. He refused to talk directly about any of this, but there were enough hints to intrigue. In our ever-present quest to define what it is to be "human", I believe these stories of my father make a humble contribution.

Christianity as a Way of Life

Christianity as a Way of Life

Kevin W Hector

YALE UNIVERSITY PRESS
2023
sidottu
Focusing on Christianity’s core practices, a leading theologian imagines Christianity as a way of life oriented toward wisdom A Seminary Coop Notable Book of 2023 In this book, Kevin W. Hector argues that we can understand Christianity as a set of practices designed to transform one’s way of perceiving and being in the world. Hector examines practices that reorient us to God (imitation, corporate singing, eating together, friendship, and likemindedness), that transform our way of being in the world (prayer, wonder, laughter, lament, and vocation), and that reshape our way of being with others (benevolence, looking for the image of God in others, forgiveness, and activism). Taken together, the aim of these practices is to transform one’s way of perceiving and acting in the face of success and failure, risk and loss, guilt and shame, love, and loss of control. These transformations can add up to a transformation of one’s very self. To make sense of Christianity as a way of life, in turn, these practices must be understood within the context of Christian beliefs about sin, Jesus, redemption, and eternal life. Understanding them thus requires a systematic theology, which Hector offers in this clear-eyed, ambitious, and elegant interpretation of the Christian tradition.

Work as a Calling

Work as a Calling

Garrett W. Potts

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2022
sidottu
Amidst the exponentially growing interest in "work as a calling," contemporary discussions have taken an individualistic turn away from the earlier prosocial character that once marked this orientation to work. Now, discussions about "work as a calling" mostly prioritize personal fulfilment via the pursuit of deeply "meaningful work." Excessive focus has been placed on the experience of meaningful work in ways that are detached from the genuinely good workplace ends that allow for such a meaningful experience to ensue. This book provides a novel paradigm for reimagining the idea of "work as a calling," which serves as a corrective that better supports the individuals’ search for meaning and their contribution to the common good, arguing that the two go hand in hand, and so they cannot be separated. Thus, the key idea captured herein is not simply that scholars have misunderstood the very notion of "work as a calling" by implying that it is essentially just synonymous with meaningful work, but, even more importantly, the point is that scholars and laypersons alike often fail to realize how true meaning ensues as a result of a genuine concern for contributing to human flourishing and the common good through one’s work.Providing a new perspective on "work as a calling" by examining the issue from the perspective of morality rather than self-actualization, this volume will be of interest to researchers, academics, professionals, and students in the fields of business ethics, management, leadership, and organizational studies.
