Sinossi

"Mythic Beasts" explores the captivating world of legendary creatures, examining their origins and cultural significance across diverse civilizations. These beasts, far from being mere fantasies, reveal profound insights into the anxieties, aspirations, and collective experiences of the societies that birthed them. For instance, dragons, often depicted as fearsome fire-breathers, symbolize chaos and destruction in some cultures, while representing wisdom and good fortune in others. Similarly, the elusive unicorn, a symbol of purity and grace, appears in various forms throughout history and folklore, reflecting humanity's enduring quest for the unattainable.

 
The book adopts an interdisciplinary approach, blending historical analysis with scientific inquiry to understand why these creatures were created and why they continue to fascinate us. Examining ancient civilizations like Mesopotamia, Greece, and East Asia, the book reveals how environmental factors, social structures, and early scientific understandings shaped these mythical beings.

 
The book progresses through three main sections, beginning with the core concepts, moving into regional traditions, and concluding with the lasting legacy of these creatures in art and literature, offering a comprehensive perspective on their enduring appeal.

    Are you focused on what's wrong with your students? Now you can transform learning by reframing your view from what's wrong to what's strong. 
     
     
     
    "At risk." "Low." "Title I kids." If you've worked with students, you've probably heard or said these coded labels that reflect deficit thinking. This focus on weakness is a pervasive, powerful judgment that continues to harm students long after they leave school. It's time for educators to hack deficit thinking, think about SEL and about strength-based teaching, and reframe teaching and learning. 
     
     
     
    Nationally certified school psychologists McClure and Reed show teachers, administrators, and support staff how to unlearn student blame and reframe thinking to focus on students' strengths. When we acknowledge the impact of teaching practices and the broader structural inequities, we can help everyone reach their highest potential. 
     
     
     
    In Hacking Deficit Thinking, you'll learn how to: build on student strengths; think about student empathy; humanize your data; recognize the value of differences; think about teacher empathy; talk about equity in schools; tap into school-wide strengths; flourish as an educator.

    This book captures a journey marked by profound loss, boundless grace, surrender, and ultimate joy, all orchestrated by the guiding hand of God. Presented through a sincere compilation of narratives, stories, and poetry, Lanford invites readers into an inspiring exploration of his personal odyssey through the depths of grief following the passing of his wife of 42 years. Within these confessional, redemptive, and restorative writings lies a narrative of forgiveness, renewal, and the extravagant love of God. 
    Rather than a conventional guide on coping with grief, Lanford emphasizes to readers that this book aims to sensitize readers to God's relentless desire to love and pursue them through the darkest moments. Even those who have not experienced the loss of a spouse or a beloved can cultivate empathy and compassion for those navigating such spaces. 
    Lanford clarifies, "This isn't just a self-help manual; it's an exploration designed to stir the soul, encouraging contemplation of God and fostering an awareness that, in times of distress, God does not abandon us. His intention is to bring comfort and meet us precisely where we need Him the most." 
    When asked about the key takeaway for readers, Lanford expresses, "God epitomizes absolute love. He actively pursues us in our deepest grief and heartache, offering measured and sometimes overflowing mercy. He equips us with strength for each day and every ciucumstance."
