Yoga for Speech-Language Development

Susan E. Longtin, Jessica A. Fitzpatrick

Summary

Combining years of experience as certified speech-language pathologists and as qualified yoga teachers, the authors of this pioneering book explain how yoga can be used to aid speech-language development in children up to age 12. 
The book includes a range of yoga-based exercises for improving pre-linguistic communication, vocabulary development and motor planning for speech. The text is enriched by illustrations of children in each yoga pose, so no prior experience of yoga is necessary to help children carry out each activity. The book also provides information on using this approach with children with neurodevelopmental and intellectual disabilities, including ADHD and autism.

The God-Shaped Brain - How...

Timothy R. Jennings

What you believe about God actually changes your brain. Brain research in neuroscience has found that our thoughts and beliefs affect our physical, mental, and spiritual health. Mind and body are interrelated, and we are designed for healthy relationships of love and trust. When we understand God as good and loving, we flourish. Unfortunately, many of us have distorted images of God and mostly think of him in fearful, punitive ways. This leads us into unhealthy patterns of self-defeating behaviors and toxic relationships. But our lives can change when God renews our minds with a truer picture of him. Psychiatrist Tim Jennings unveils how our brains and bodies thrive when we have a healthy understanding of who God is. He dispels common misconceptions about God and shows how different God concepts affect the brain differently. Our brains can adapt, change, and rewire with redeemed thinking that frees us from unnecessary pain and suffering. Discover how neuroscience and Scripture come together to bring healing and transformation to our lives. This expanded edition now includes a study guide for individual reflection or group discussion, with questions for learning from Scripture, science and nature, and experience.

Mass Killers - Inside the Minds...

David J. Krajicek

Can you predict killing sprees? What do mass killers have in common? Why do so many of them write manifestos online and what do these tell us? 
 
These are some of the questions David J. Krajicek seeks to answer in Mass Killings, on a topic that is becoming increasing urgent and desperate. In recent decades, mass shootings worldwide have increased in their savagery and frequency. Nearly all mass killers are male - and many of them are bound together by misogyny, misanthropy, and racism. They do not just "snap." They plan their assaults for months or years, drawing up detailed battle plans, and accumulating weaponry. They document the process in journals or videos online, understanding that they are leaving evidence which will help the marquee lights of their futile crimes burn brighter and longer. 
 
Krajicek shows the commonalities between mass shooters, and describes the psychopathic process that leads these troubled men to commit atrocities. Mass killers feed off each other's words and deeds, and it's crucial to be able to read the signals they give out to prevent future tragedies.

The Art of Giving a $#!T

Queinnise Miller PhD

This book is a memoir of my experience as an urban educator. The setting is in my Spanish classroom. The book is that it gives the reader a framework, common language and a guide from whence to operate. This book is an instructional manual and handbook for collegiate student-teachers, rookie teachers, veteran teachers and administrators alike. It provides true guidance and a verbal vision of what a great teacher should look like and how teachers should interact with their scholars. It’s a no holds barred book. It provides the good, bad and ugly of the teaching profession. The reader is shown the awesome and wonderful experience of teaching, but it also shows the challenges of great teaching. Teaching is a tough and sometimes thankless profession but it’s also equally rewarding when one considers the ultimate impact and outcome.
