Sinopsis

Literacy Expansion explores the historical journey of how literacy evolved from a rare skill to a widespread necessity. It examines the interplay of printing technology, such as the printing press, educational reforms, and social movements in shaping global literacy rates. The book uniquely connects technological advancements with social changes, highlighting literacy as a tool for both individual empowerment and collective progress. For instance, the rise of mass education in the 18th and 19th centuries significantly altered societal structures and opportunities. This historical textbook analyzes literacy expansion through a chronological and thematic structure, beginning with pre-printing press eras and progressing to modern digital literacy. By incorporating data from UNESCO and other sources, the book provides an evidence-based analysis, avoiding anecdotal narratives. The educational reforms and social movements, discussed in the book, are key to understanding how literacy became a cornerstone of modern society. The book concludes by addressing the current state of global literacy and the challenges ahead, particularly in marginalized communities, and the implications of digital literacy.

Rehabilitation Therapy -...

Vivian Westlake

Rehabilitation therapy is a cornerstone of recovery for individuals who have experienced trauma, injury, or illness, providing a structured and supportive path to restoring physical, emotional, and social well-being. It is a multidisciplinary approach that focuses on helping individuals regain independence and improve their quality of life, tailored to their unique needs and circumstances. 
At its essence, rehabilitation therapy seeks to address the diverse challenges that arise from trauma. Whether the trauma is physical, such as a broken bone or a neurological injury, or psychological, such as the aftermath of emotional distress, rehabilitation offers a comprehensive strategy for recovery. By emphasizing both short-term and long-term goals, it provides a clear framework for progress, helping individuals reclaim their ability to participate in daily activities and achieve a sense of normalcy. 
One of the defining aspects of rehabilitation therapy is its reliance on collaboration. It brings together a team of professionals—physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, psychologists, and medical specialists—who work in unison to create personalized care plans. These plans are designed to address the specific needs of the individual, recognizing that no two recovery journeys are alike. Family members and caregivers also play a crucial role, providing support and encouragement that can significantly enhance the healing process.

The Science of Immortality

D.N. Dunlop

The contents of this volume consist of addresses delivered at various times before Lodges of the Theosophical Society and selected for their reference to the subject of immortality. Some of them were published in The Path, Vol. II. 
In order to make the chapters more or less coherent, the matter has been slightly rearranged, but certain repetitions will be noticed which are unavoidable, owing to the inter-relation of the subjects discussed and to the fact that, having been addressed to different audiences, some explanation of the bearing of the part on the whole was necessary. I have not attempted to eliminate these redundancies, for the philosophy, sketchily outlined herein, is not easy to grasp, inasmuch as its fundamental data and principles are in contradistinction to much of the current thought of our time. 
I. THE APPROACH TO THE PATH and FOREWARD 
II. THE RACES OF HUMANITY 
III. SENSE-FUNCTIONS AND FACULTIES OF THE MIND 
IV. INDIVIDUALITY AND PERSONALITY 
V. BREATH AND DESIRE 
VI. WILL, UNIVERSAL AND INDIVIDUAL 
VII. THOUGHT - ITS ORIGIN AND CONTROL 
VIII. BIRTH AND DEATH  
IX. THE SOUL AND ITS MANIFESTATIONS 
X. THE IMMORTAL SOUL

A Thousand Miles From Care

Steve Johnson

Soon to be a MAJOR MOVIE. A gripping and heartbreaking story, A Thousand Miles from Care tells the 30-year quest Steve Johnson undertook to uncover the truth about his brilliant brother’s death.
At the entrance of Sydney Harbor, the cliffs rise fourteen stories above the Pacific, like a gigantic skirt made of sandstone. North Head, one of the most memorable cliffs, is a gorgeous place to watch the sunrise. But it’s an unforgiving place to lose your footing. When Steve Johnson’s younger brother Scott went over the edge in 1988, he hit an outcrop on the way down and exploded on the rocks below.
A Thousand Miles from Care draws upon the mountain of exclusive materials Steve amassed over his 32-year fight for answers, including sealed court transcripts, police records, interviews with suspects, inquest reports, correspondence with gang members, private investigations, and much else. It utilizes unique details, interview transcripts and insights based on Johnson’s close relationship with authorities and high-ranking New South Wales officials developed over more than three decades.
This profoundly impactful book traces the steps Steve Johnson, his family and friends took to solve the mystery of Scott’s alleged suicide, navigating an openly hostile police force and a maze of dead ends, unreliable informants, skinhead gangs, a faked confession, police-connected drug rings, and setbacks at every turn. A Thousand Miles from Care is above all, a love story between two brothers but shared by everyone who worked so long for truth and justice for Scott.
This autobiography is a best seller in the making, a non-fiction account of death, grief, and bereavement. It's a true story that explores the relationships between two brothers, making it a top choice for readers seeking heartfelt, real-life stories.
