Sinopsis

In "What Books to Lend and What to Give," Charlotte M. Yonge presents a compelling exploration of the moral and intellectual responsibilities associated with lending and gifting literature. This insightful guide intertwines thoughtful recommendations with an ethical framework, emphasizing the transformative power of books in shaping character and fostering intellectual growth. Employing her characteristic eloquence, Yonge offers detailed discussions on a curated selection of titles, couched within a Victorian literary context that values didacticism, morality, and the nurturing of the mind through reading. The book thus serves as both a practical toolkit for readers and a reflection on the social implications of literary exchange. Charlotte M. Yonge, a prominent figure in 19th-century literature, is notable for her contributions to the growth of the Christian domestic novel. With her deep-rooted belief in education and moral fortitude, Yonge's background as an educator and her commitment to social issues heavily influenced her literary endeavors. Her extensive experience in addressing moral dilemmas and promoting virtuous living positions her as an insightful guide in the realm of literature, particularly in discussing the impact of book lending and gifting on personal and societal development. This book is highly recommended for educators, parents, and avid readers seeking to understand the deeper implications of their literary choices. Yonge's work transcends simple reading lists; it invites reflection on how our choices in literature can serve as vehicles for personal growth and moral edification. Engage with Yonge's passionate advocacy of reading as a means of enrichment and enlightenment.

    I’ve already written a couple of books on prophecy and premonitions including my own experiences. 
    But as an engineer I felt that I really had not fully communicated what I’ve learned about these abilities and how we can apply this knowledge to our lives. 
    Thus the purpose of this book is to be as detailed as I can be about what premonitions are and how you can use them to improve your life and change your probable futures. 
    As an engineer and experiencer of many modes of premonitions and prophecies I feel I have a lot to offer here and want you the reader to benefit from what I’ve learned. 
    Historical prophecies are also covered as are the real source of premonitional abilities, techniques to see your own futures, how far ahead people can see the future, how to use these techniques with a group of people, and much more on the importance of prophecy in our world. 
    The ability to change the direction of your fate is also discussed.

    Named the fourth most important “Book of the Year” by the National Post in 2015 and voted “One Book/One Province” in Saskatchewan for 2017, The Education of Augie Merasty launched on the front page of The Globe and Mail to become a national bestseller and an instant classic.
    		 
    A courageous and intimate memoir, The Education of Augie Merasty is the story of a child who faced the dark heart of humanity, let loose by the cruel policies of a bigoted nation. 
    A retired fisherman and trapper who sometimes lived rough on the streets, Augie Merasty was one of an estimated 150,000 First Nations, Inuit, and Metis children who were taken from their families and sent to government-funded, church-run schools, where they were subjected to a policy of aggressive assimilation.
    		 
    As Augie recounts, these schools did more than attempt to mould children in the ways of white society. They were taught to be ashamed of their heritage and, as he experienced, often suffered physical and sexual abuse. 
    But even as he looks back on this painful part of his childhood, Merasty's sense of humour and warm voice shine through. 
    “In this book I have seen horror through eyes of a child.” — James Daschuk, author of Clearing the Plains
    		 
    “A story in which our entire nation has an obscure and dark complicity.” — David Carpenter, co-author of The Education of Augie Merasty and author of The Gold and other books

    One of the most popular and widely read books of the Middle Ages, Physiologus contains allegories of beasts, stones, and trees both real and imaginary, infused by their anonymous author with the spirit of Christian moral and mystical teaching.  Accompanied by an introduction that explains the origins, history, and literary value of this curious text, this volume also reproduces twenty woodcuts from the 1587 version. Originally composed in the fourth century in Greek, and translated into dozens of versions through the centuries, Physiologus will delight readers with its ancient tales of ant-lions, centaurs, and hedgehogs—and their allegorical significance. “An elegant little book . . . still diverting to look at today. . . . The woodcuts reproduced from the 1587 Rome edition are alone worth the price of the book.”—Raymond A. Sokolov, New York Times Book Review

    Many teachers, support staff, and school leaders are tired, stressed, and overstretched. And even though this frequently makes the headlines, it isn't a new problem. In this book, Mark Solomons and Fran Abrams argue staff well-being should be rooted in the culture and climate of our schools. They provide a roadmap to recovery for struggling schools which should lead to improvements in staff morale, workload management, and mental well-being. 
     
     
     
    With a range of real-life examples, this book focuses on how school leaders can build workplace well-being in even the most challenging environments. It includes clear links to research evidence and summaries of the key steps necessary to deal with common issues such as: 
     
     
     
    ● Identifying and mapping issues in your school 
     
     
     
    ● Leading for well-being
