Oh Yeah.: A Guide to the Good Life. An Initiation into Adulthood: A Tool for Discussion.

Oh Yeah.: A Guide to the Good Life. An Initiation into Adulthood: A Tool for Discussion.

Ian M. Power

Independently Published
2020
nidottu
This book is a tool for inspiration and discussion. In a world that can seem increasingly lost and nihilistic, where religious views are rejected out of hand and moral codes seem to have been lost in the noise of media and endless distraction... it is rare to find a voice that speaks clearly to young minds in the process of forming their personalities. What is it to become an adult in a world where initiations around this transition have been lost? How do we know when we have truly left childhood behind us? What are the key skills and attitudes we require in order to be able to live a fulfilling life?Parents, teachers and teenagers often don't know where to start when trying to bridge the divide that can rapidly grow during the process of adolescence. Some families lack the impetus to have honest conversations about the fundamental qualities that can lead to a positive experience of being alive. This book comes packed with conversation starters that can build connection and initiate discussions on themes which are vital for living a good life.In the chaos of modern times, legal adulthood approaches faster than ever, often catching people unawares. There's no time to lose if the pitfalls are to be avoided. No book is enough to initiate anyone in the ways of the world. This book is humbly offered as a simple tool to be used on the journey towards maturation. Only through discussion can the words here really come alive and be able to inform the individual. It would be very easy to read this book in the space of one hour and for there to be no discernible effect.

Words That Show The Way

Words That Show The Way

Ian M Mason

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
2018
pokkari
It is easy to think of the Christian way of life as simply using Jesus' teachings as a moral code for living. But this is to overlook the deeper spiritual path that lies at the heart of Jesus' teaching, and which this book seeks to explore in depth. As the author, Ian Mason, writes in the introduction, "It is a path through life where we can find meaning and purpose, accompanied by joy and inner peace." However, Jesus' teachings on the spiritual path, as detailed by the writers of the New Testament, are not always easy to understand, because many key words and phrases are used differently in everyday life. Part I, therefore, explores the true meanings of these "words that show the way" from the New Testament, uncovering a clear overview of the path. Part II then sheds more light on the path by examining in detail some of the concepts raised in Part I, drawing on the experiences and insights of a wide range of later Christian writers, including the author himself. This book thus forms a comprehensive practical guide to the Christian spiritual path, showing how to find and follow it, and what to expect on the journey, as we awaken to an awareness of the guiding, transforming and comforting divine presence within us.

RNAS and the Birth of the Aircraft Carrier 1914-1918

RNAS and the Birth of the Aircraft Carrier 1914-1918

Ian M. Burns

Fonthill Media
2014
sidottu
The Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) origins were as the Naval Wing of the Royal Flying Corps in April 1912, but did not become a separate service until 1 July 1914. Its members created a dedicated arm of the Royal Navy with the intention of operating aircraft in support of the Fleet. On the outbreak of war in August 1914, the service expanded to include service on land, initially in support of the Royal Naval Division in Belgium, later providing support to the RFC and as one of the early practitioners of strategic bombing. However, The RNAS and the Birth of the Aircraft Carrier 1914-1918 traces the development and operational use of aircraft serving with the Fleet. It follows the selection and training of personnel and the struggle to produce suitable aircraft and weapons, including the evolution of the aircraft carrier. Nonetheless, the constant thread throughout is the operational history of the RNAS over the North Sea with both the Grand Fleet and Harwich Force. Commencing over Cuxhaven on Christmas Day 1914 and ending with two pivotal operations which determined the future of naval aviation, these pivotal operations dictated seaborne warfare to the present day

In the Name of the Reich

In the Name of the Reich

Ian M. Williamson

TROUBADOR PUBLISHING

London, 1969. Great Britain has flourished under National Socialist rule since its integration into the Third Reich after the Second Great War – a war Great Britain lost – and the nation is at peace. Or so it seems. A psychedelic drug named Yonder has taken the working class population by storm, and has become a figurehead for a “silent protest” against the Nationalist Socialist regime. It is now the single greatest threat to social order, and must be stopped. British-born Detective Sergeant John Highsmith – an officer in the Metropolitan Police’s Drug Enforcement Squad – is a member of the Task Force dedicated to achieving just this. But the job is not so straightforward, and when John is confronted with violence, torture, and death, only his stead-fast loyalty to National Socialism will protect him as he puts his life on the line – in the name of the Reich. A harrowing tale of what might have been, In the Name of the Reich examines how Nazi rule would have warped British society and a young man raised under it. It is uncompromising in its depiction, and aims to revolutionise this genre of fiction.

Jessica Kingsley Publishers
2011
pokkari
The strain of caring for children struggling with severe and complex mental health needs affects the entire family. The staff at the innovative Croft Child and Family Unit have developed a unique approach of working intensively with the whole family, and encouraging them to share their experiences with other families, to instigate a complete change that will benefit all family members.Using detailed case studies to illustrate the model, the book focuses on the needs of children with a wide range of developmental, emotional and behavioural difficulties, and explores the complicated interactions between these children, their families and their communities. The care team includes nurses, psychiatrists, doctors, family therapists and creative therapists, social workers and teachers. They examine how to integrate a range of therapeutic interventions and how to use the powerful relationships that develop between professionals and families to enable positive, lasting changes. This book will be indispensable reading for trainees and professionals working with children with mental health problems and their families, and special needs educationalists wanting to understand the benefits of an intensive, multi-family approach to treatment for children who do not respond to standard community interventions.

A Course in Formal Languages, Automata and Groups

A Course in Formal Languages, Automata and Groups

Ian M. Chiswell

Springer London Ltd
2009
nidottu
This book is based on notes for a master’s course given at Queen Mary, University of London, in the 1998/9 session. Such courses in London are quite short, and the course consisted essentially of the material in the ?rst three chapters, together with a two-hour lecture on connections with group theory. Chapter 5 is a considerably expanded version of this. For the course, the main sources were the books by Hopcroft and Ullman ([20]), by Cohen ([4]), and by Epstein et al. ([7]). Some use was also made of a later book by Hopcroft and Ullman ([21]). The ulterior motive in the ?rst three chapters is to give a rigorous proof that various notions of recursively enumerable language are equivalent. Three such notions are considered. These are: generated by a type 0 grammar, recognised by a Turing machine (deterministic or not) and de?ned by means of a Godel ¨ numbering, having de?ned “recursively enumerable” for sets of natural numbers. It is hoped that this has been achieved without too many ar- ments using complicated notation. This is a problem with the entire subject, and it is important to understand the idea of the proof, which is often quite simple. Two particular places that are heavy going are the proof at the end of Chapter 1 that a language recognised by a Turing machine is type 0, and the proof in Chapter 2 that a Turing machine computable function is partial recursive.

Black Consciousness and Progressive Movements Under Apartheid

Black Consciousness and Progressive Movements Under Apartheid

Ian M. MacQueen

University of KwaZulu-Natal Press
2018
nidottu
Accounts of Black Consciousness have tended to place the discourse in a continuum of resistance to white minority rule and to assess its significance in bringing about the downfall of apartheid. While these are valid historical narratives, they have occluded some of the wider resonances and significance of both the movement and the body of ideas. This book takes its cue from Steve Biko’s own injunction to see the evolution of Black Consciousness alongside other political doctrines and movements of resistance in South Africa. It identifies progressive thought and movements, such as radical Christianity and ecumenism, student radicalism, feminism and trade unionism, as valuable interlocutors that nonetheless also competed for the mantle of liberation, espousing different visions of freedom. These progressive movements were open to what Ian Macqueen characterises as the ‘shockwaves’ that Black Consciousness created. It is only with such a focus that we can fully appreciate the significance of Black Consciousness, both as a movement and as an ideology emanating from South Africa in the late 1960s and 1970s. Black Consciousness and Progressive Movements under Apartheid thus presents an intellectual history of Black Consciousness in South Africa in the comparative perspective that Biko originally called for.

Reinventing Theology as the People's Work

Reinventing Theology as the People's Work

Ian M. Fraser

Wild Goose Publications
2001
pokkari
Ian M Fraser, a member of the Iona Community, wrote Reinventing Theology as the Peoples Work in 1980 for two specific conferences that were to take place in the 1980s. Since then, the ideas it puts forward have become relevant in a much wider context and this book has helped to raise interest in peoples theology worldwide. Its underlying conviction is that just as ministry belongs to more than just the clergy, so does the task of theologising belong to all and not just to the professional theologian. Doing theology goes hand in hand with Christian living, and reflecting on faith accompanies Christian discipleship. With an MA and BD with distinction in Systematic Theology, Ian Fraser entered industry in 1942 as the first of what became a worker-priest/pastor movement. Far from abandoning the ministry an accusation levelled against him at the time he was in fact searching for authentic ministry and a more relevant theology. For him, the concern of this book has been a lifelong preoccupation.

Church Community Is a Gift of the Holy Spirit

Church Community Is a Gift of the Holy Spirit

Ian M Randall

Regent's Park College, Oxford
2015
nidottu
This study examines the spirituality of the Bruderhof community. It gives particular attention to Eberhard Arnold (1883-1935) and a small number of people around him, including his wife Emmy and her sister Else von Hollander, who founded the first Bruderhof community in Sannerz, Germany, in 1920. The argument made here is that the Bruderhof was formed as a consequence of a concern for a number of aspects which were seen as related: authentic evangelical spirituality, community of goods instead of private property, openness to the Holy Spirit, a simple form of church life that sought to draw from the New Testament, and "the way of peace." This study explores these themes both in the early Bruderhof period and also in an important recent Bruderhof publication, Foundations, and relates them to the Anabaptist tradition.
