  The Sayings of Lao-Tzu - An...

  A prose translation of the Tao that focuses on bringing out the subtlety and depth of the classic Way.Translations of the famous Way and Virtue (Dao De Jing/Tao Te Ching) focus on the poetics and depth of the original. In contrast, Giles’ translation focuses on telling stories with the text, drawing out the nuances in a way that is more familiar to Western audiences from philosophical and religious texts.“Few can help being struck by the similarity of tone between the sayings of Lao Tzu and the Gospel enunciated six centuries later by the Prince of Peace. There are two famous utterances in particular which secure to Lao Tzu the glory of having anticipated the lofty morality of the Sermon on the Mount. The cavilers who would rank the Golden Rule of Confucius below that of Christ will find it hard to get over the fact that Lao Tzu said, "Requite injury with kindness," and "To the not-good I would be good in order to make them good." It was a hundred and fifty years later that Plato reached the same conclusion in the first book of the Republic.It is interesting to observe certain points of contact between Lao Tzu and the early Greek philosophers. He may be compared both with Parmenides, who disparaged sense-knowledge and taught the existence of the One as opposed to the Many, and with Heraclitus, whose theory of the identity of contraries recalls some of our Sage's paradoxes. But it is when we come to Plato that the most striking parallels occur. It has not escaped notice that something like the Platonic doctrine of ideas is discoverable in the "forms" which Lao Tzu conceives as residing in Tao. But, so far as I know, no one has yet pointed out what a close likeness Tao itself bears to that curious abstraction which Plato calls the Idea of the Good.”

  Welcome to exploring this extraordinary audiobook in which you will learn about the use of cannabis as a therapy for patients with autism spectrum disorders. 
  Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurological dysfunction of neurobiological origin with developmental initiation in childhood. ASD affects the development of social communication and behavior, with repetitive and restricted behaviors and interests. It is characterized by a chronic evolution, with different degrees of affectation, functional adaptation, and affecting language and intellectual development, depending on the case and evolutionary moment. 
  According to the WHO statistical rate, one in 160 children has an autism spectrum disorder globally. This estimate represents an average figure, as the observed predominance varies considerably between studies. However, some controlled studies have reported much higher figures. The prevalence of ASD in many low- and middle-income countries is so far unknown. Therefore, there is a greater need to address new therapeutic alternatives such as medical cannabis to manage and control this disorder to improve the quality of life for sufferers and their families. 
  In this audiobook, you will understand how cannabinoids could effectively treat patients diagnosed with this disorder. You will learn about the history, epidemiology, causes, characteristics, how it is classified, what signs patients will have, and how it is diagnosed. You will also learn about the incredible endocannabinoid system, its receptors, its homeostatic-physiological functions, dosage of cannabis-derived medicine, its beneficial and adverse effects. Some clinical studies show that cannabis phytocannabinoids, especially CBD; can work as a therapy to reduce or improve some symptoms of autism spectrum disorder. 
  We invite you to learn more about the use of medical cannabis in this disorder. Enjoy this audiobook that Pharmacology University brings to you.

  Two pioneering researchers identify key causes of workplace burnout and reveal what managers can do to promote increased productivity and health. 
   
   
   
  Citing a wealth of research data and drawing on illustrative anecdotes, The Burnout Challenge shows how organizations can change to promote sustainable productivity. Christina Maslach and Michael P. Leiter provide useful tools for identifying the signs of employee burnout, most often exhaustion, cynicism, and ineffectiveness. They also advise managers on assembling and interpreting worker self-evaluation surveys, which can reveal workplace problems and potential solutions. And when it comes to implementing change, Maslach and Leiter offer practical, evidence-driven guidance. The key, they argue, is to begin with less-taxing changes that employees nonetheless find meaningful, seeding the ground for more thorough reforms in the future. 
   
   
   
  Experts estimate that more than $500 billion and 550 million workhours are lost annually to on-the-job stress, much of it caused by dysfunctional work environments. As priorities and policies shift across workplaces, The Burnout Challenge provides pragmatic, creative, and cost-effective solutions to improve employee efficiency, health, and happiness.

  Crime and Punishment in Ancient...

  In ancient Egypt, the underpinning concept in law, in theory, was that rich and poor citizens should be treated equally, but this was an aspiration that was rarely fulfilled in practice. At the same time, the types of treatment delivered to those deemed guilty could also be harsh - common punishments included confiscation of property, slavery, beatings, and mutilation. During both the Old Kingdom (c. 2700 BCE – 2200 BCE) and Middle Kingdom (c. 2030 BCE – 1650 BCE), crime was dealt with by local officials using their own private police forces. However, during the New Kingdom (c. 1539 BCE – 1075 BCE) a centralized police force emerged, consisting of Nubian tribesmen under an Egyptian supervisor, who were armed with staffs and used specially trained dogs. 
  	In extreme cases, the death penalty was invoked, sometimes with the additional punishment of ensuring that the convicted were refused a burial or were buried but without full rituals. Based on the Egyptians’ religious beliefs, both situations resulted in the guilty being denied entry to the afterlife. 
  	Perhaps not surprisingly, not all laws related directly to criminal activity. Civil disputes were common, and suits by a plaintiff against a defendant provide another major source about the Egyptian legal system, as do the copies of the many legal transactions and contracts that date from the 7th century BCE onwards when the popular form of the written language (Demotic) started to become more widely used. Indeed, it is often difficult to distinguish between civil and criminal cases in the available records. Following the introduction of writing, however, written deeds or contracts quickly replaced traditional oral agreements, and many of these extant documents reveal considerable detail about the laws of ancient Egypt.

  Foreword by Dr Andy Daly-Smith.
  We already know that increased physical activity and a reduction in the sedentary time spent sitting at desks have wide-ranging benefits (including to brain function), so what if there were also evidence that using movement in the learning process improves outcomes for children? What if we could then map out ways to support teachers in adapting their practice to make this a reality?
  In How to Move & Learn Bryn Llewellyn, Ian Holmes and Richard Allman do just that - sharing the latest research from around the world and providing teachers with the means and motivation to identify opportunities to integrate movement purposefully into the teaching and learning process.
  The links between health and education are paramount, and this book explores these connections and presents a wealth of ideas, activities and resources to help teachers unlock the potential of the school and outdoor environments for learning across all curriculum subjects.
  Suitable for all primary school teachers and leaders.
