The Quotable Saint By Rosemary Ellen Guiley A collection of excerpts from the lives, thoughts, writings and sayings of the saints. More than 3000 quotes cover a wide range of topics, including daily life, work, family, marriage, relationships, the afterlife, the soul, and more. The quotes are listed under more than 250 categories, such as: God; Creation; Natural World; Humanity; Angels; Truth; Knowledge; Wisdom; Love; Spiritual Path; Evil; and Death and the Afterlife.
In The Natural Origins of Economics, Margaret Schabas traces the emergence and transformation of economics in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries from a natural to a social science. Focusing on the works of several prominent economists—David Hume, Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus, David Ricardo, and John Stuart Mill—Schabas examines their conceptual debt to natural science and thus locates the evolution of economic ideas within the history of science. An ambitious study, The Natural Origins of Economics will be of interest to economists, historians, and philosophers alike.
The Natural World Through Children's Literature: An Integrated Approach
In a similar treatment to their previous books about science and literature, the authors consider over 25 picture books (both new and classic, but all new to this volume) that provide examples in nature (topics include living things, earth and stars, and natural changes) for children to observe, describe, and appreciate. Summaries of each book are included as are extensive vocabulary lists, science concepts, puzzles, and integrated activities in math, language arts, writing, social studies, science, and art. The book also offers integrated activities in the area of information literacy to help hone student skills.
INNOVATIONS is a new three-level general English course for classes looking for new material with a fresh approach. Based on a language-rich, lexical/grammatical syllabus, it starts from the kinds of natural conversations that learners want to have.
“Given the nature of the topic, this set offers articles that would be useful across the curriculum. Summing Up: Recommended. Libraries supporting communication departments or communication research in other fields; lower-level undergraduates and above.” (CHOICE, March 2009) “This encyclopaedia ... .Genuinely impresses and supersedes the opposition. It’s combination of wide coverage, sensible construction, international reach, subject objectivity, and hospitality to natural language searches makes it attractive to libraries where extensive use will take place.” (Reference Reviews, January 2009)
