Summary

Fugitive Slaves (1619-1865) is a historical record of legal cases tried against escaped slaves across the United States of America. The author, Marion McDougall, has drawn together and compared many cases found in obscure sources and made an effort to use the cases as illustrations of principles of how the legislature worked in certain places and certain eras. Her aim was, in some measure, to trace the development of public sentiment upon the subject, in order to prepare an outline of Colonial legislation and of the work of Congress during the covered period.

    This thought-provoking collection of original material, translated from Russian includes interviews with Dr. Buteyko covering the development of his ideas from 1962 to 1998 and his main CEOB (Conscious Elimination of Deep Breathing) manual. It is important because it provides insight into the power of his method when used by trained practitioners, especially in a clinical setting. 
    He saw breathing as a fundamental measurable parameter in the treatment of 150 common diseases and because of his disciplined scientific research he never allowed it to be considered simply an alternative asthma treatment' as it is often now perceived in the West. With trained practitioners and Breathing clinics it would result in a profound improvement in the health of millions of people suffering from many different conditions throughout the world. 
    Here is a summary of the main chapters: 
    1. 1962 interview while he was Head of a functional Diagnostics laboratory within the Siberian branch of the USSR Academy of Science. 
    2. 1982 interview covers the development of his theoretical ideas and practical work in further detail. 
    3. Large practical guide (CEOB Breath Retraining Manual) showing his systematic approach to 'the Conscious Elimination of Deep Breathing' in sick patients in a clinical setting. 
    4. 1997 Buteyko answers questions by callers on a public radio program. 
    5. Interview with a Siberian newspaper in 1998 when he was 75 where he talks about his work and medical and spiritual perspective. 
    6. Interview on Ukrainian Television in the late 1980s with a detailed restating of his work where he advocates for breathing retraining centers in Ukraine and Russia.

    There is no simple way to explain how economy works. Economy depends on various factors. The economy of the USA is not same as the economy of India. Globalization is real but still different countries have different economy even today. Argentina once faced a huge economic crisis, and in time to time, there were global economy crisis. Productivity, transactions, demands decide the economy. There are multiple theories of how the economy work. Economy is the most important aspect of modern civilization. Nothing can be done without a strong economy. Common citizens do not care to know how the economy works, as most believe that only politicians have to worry about country’s economy. It is true that politicians have the power to decide certain factors, but common citizens decide in which way the country’s economy will go. 
    Economy is not just a subject; it is good for every common citizen to understand how the economy actually works.

    “Superbly written, filled with brilliant insights . . . Both liberals and conservatives will see Scalia and his legacy in a new and more illuminating light.” —Adam Winkler, author of Gunfight: The Battle Over the Right to Bear Arms in America 
     
    Engaging but caustic and openly ideological, Antonin Scalia was among the most influential justices ever to serve on the United States Supreme Court. In this fascinating new book, legal scholar Richard L. Hasen assesses Scalia’s complex legacy as a conservative legal thinker and disruptive public intellectual. 
     
    The left saw Scalia as an unscrupulous foe who amplified his judicial role with scathing dissents and outrageous public comments. The right viewed him as a rare principled justice committed to neutral tools of constitutional and statutory interpretation. Hasen provides a more nuanced perspective, demonstrating how Scalia was crucial to reshaping jurisprudence on issues from abortion to gun rights to separation of powers. A jumble of contradictions, Scalia promised neutral tools to legitimize the Supreme Court, but his jurisprudence and confrontational style moved the Court to the right, alienated potential allies, and helped to delegitimize the institution he was trying to save. 
     
    “Absorbing . . . [a] book that, at least for this reader, shed new light on the law and how it is made, interpreted, and applied.” —Los Angeles Review of Books

    Although there are ample resources on how to teach reading, math,  science, or other types of academic content,there is comparatively  little guidance for teachers on how students learn and why. Can  intelligence be developed? Do teacher expectations shape student  learning? How can teachers help students work through challenging  learning situations on their own? This book is ifor any teacher who  has students who struggle and who wants learning to stick. The book  reveals, for example, that intelligence is largely the ability to  recognize and make connections--and that this ability is fluid and  modifiable.   Drawing from theory and research in learning, this book offers  clear, practical guidance along with inspirational ideas to show  how teachers can enable students to gain both the cognitive  competence and confidence needed to succeed academically. It  includes practices in the following areas:  --Developing perseverance and diligence in work habits  --Cultivating reasoning skills for problem solving  --Improving verbal and written expression  --Strengthening auditory and visual processing skills  --Building attention and focusing skills  --Developing reading, writing, and mathematical fluency  The book applies to any and all learners, including special  needs students, and is richly illustrated with stories, activities,  and examples from across the curricula.

    "Selbie clearly describes why phenomena labeled 'transcendent,' 'paranormal,' or 'spiritual' are more consistent with a modern scientific understanding of reality than is commonly supposed." —Dean Radin, PhD, chief scientist, Institute of Noetic Sciences, author of Real Magic and Entangled Minds "The book combines science and religion in a way that can change how the reader views reality, the material world, God, and how they see themselves." —New Spirit Journal "The Physics of God is an impressive and thought-provoking work which should be regarded as an important commentary regarding the metaphysical mysteries of life, physical reality, and human consciousness. Highly recommended!" —Spirituality Today The explanations of transcendent phenomena given by saints, sages, and near-death experiencers—miracles, immortality, heaven, God, and transcendent awareness—are fully congruent with scientific discoveries in the fields of relativity, quantum physics, medicine, M-theory, neuroscience, and quantum biology.The Physics of God describes the intersections of science and religion with colorful, easy-to-understand metaphors, making abstruse subjects within both science and religion easily accessible to the layman—no math, no dogma. This intriguing book:•Pulls back the curtain on the light-show illusion we call matter.•Connects string theory's hidden brane worlds to religion's transcendent heavens.•Reveals the scientific secret of life and immortality: quantum biology's startling discovery that the human body is continuously entangled.•Demonstrates the miracle-making power of our minds to effect instantaneous physiological changes. Included in this revised edition is a new chapter on the physics of meditation and other updates. Compelling and concise, The Physics of God will make you believe in the unity of science and religion and eager to experience the personal transcendence that is the promise of both.
