Incorporating Sustainability in Management Education: An Interdisciplinary Approach
by Kenneth Amaeshi Judy N. Muthuri Chris OgbechieResponding to the pressing need of business schools to incorporate sustainability thinking into their curricula, this new book offers fresh thinking on how to achieve this in practical terms.

Rather than being prescriptive, the chapters provide opportunities to reflect on successes as well as challenges associated with embedding sustainability into MBA courses. Contributors explore the employability implications of sustainability and how these are reflected in course designs, pedagogy and assessments. Filling an important gap in current literature, Incorporating Sustainability in Management Education provides important support to Higher Education Institutes who must quickly adapt to this desired change in business school curricula.

Teaching Computing Unplugged in Primary Schools: Exploring primary computing through practical activities away from the computer
by Neil Smith Ms Helen CaldwellTeaching primary computing without computers? The Computing curriculum is a challenge for primary school teachers. The realities of primary school resources mean limited access to computer hardware. But computing is about more than computers. Important aspects of the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science can be taught without any hardware. Children can learn to analyse problems and computational terms and apply computational thinking to solve problems without turning on a computer. This book shows you how you can teach computing through ‘unplugged’ activities. It provides lesson examples and everyday activities to help teachers and pupils explore computing concepts in a concrete way, accelerating their understanding and grasp of key ideas such as abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation. The unplugged approach is physical and collaborative, using kinaesthetic learning to help make computing concepts more meaningful and memorable. This book will help you to elevate your teaching, and your children's learning of computing beyond the available hardware. It focuses on the building blocks of understanding required for computation thinking.
Timeless, Volume 2: Ancient Psalms for the Church Today, vol. 2
by R. Mark ShippA "Psalter/Commentary" combining in-depth study of Psalms 42-89 with over a hundred new songs based on the text of these psalms.This volume, encompassing Psalms 42-89 (books two and three of the book of Psalms), is the second of three projected volumes. Volume one covered book one of Psalms (1-41), and volume three will incorporate books four and five of the Psalter (90-150). The intent of this series is not to produce technical volumes. rather, they are intended for use by church leaders, ministers, informed lay persons, and bible teachers to obtain basic understanding of some of the concerns and issues found in a particular Psalm, and go from there to an application of the Psalm for present-day worship in song.For each psalm there is a translation, treatment of its structure and theology, and then two to four musical settings: a "traditional" hymn setting and a "contemporary" setting and sometimes also a verbatim chant. This variety demonstrates several ways of bringing the Psalms into Christian worship. Most of the music in timeless is intended for congregational singing.Timeless is an ecumenical and international project. While having its origin in the a cappella tradition of Churches of Christ, the book is based on the conviction that all Christian communions share the original hymnbook of the second temple and the church. The editor, therefore, has solicited commentaries, compositions, and lyrics from a broad range of Christian traditions.
An Angel In The Flame: A Tale of Two Saviors
by Gene WilkesThis is a gripping tale of two saviors. Two men whom God chose to rescue his people. Two men anyone familiar with history would call heroes among their people. Two men who represent the best and worst the human experience have to offer. One was the Arnold Schwarzenegger of his day. The other was a humble carpenter who led no army or held no office, yet in his death caused a cosmic ripple that touches the edges of our universe today. Both are part of God’s story to capture the hearts of men and women with his love, but only one lived out God’s ultimate purpose for his life. This tale is about Samson and Jesus.

Outward and Upward Mobilities: International Students in Canada, Their Families, and Structuring Institutions
by Ann Kim Min-Jung KwakPeople move out to move up. Like other migrant groups, student mobility is a form of social mobility, and one that requires access from a host state. But there are multiple institutions with which students interact and that influence the processes of social mobility. Outward and Upward Mobilities investigates the connection between student and institution. The collection features work by key scholars in the field and considers international students from across Canada regardless of legal status. Exploring how international students and their families fare in local ethnic communities, educational and professional institutions, and the labour market, this volume demonstrates the need to ask more critical questions about the short- and long-term effects of temporary legal status, how student and family experiences differ by educational level and region of settlement, the barriers to and facilitators of adaptation and integration, and ultimately, to what extent individual, familial, institutional, and state goals function in harmony and in discord.

Luke: Jesus is Savior (Meditative Commentary #3)
by Earl LavenderDo you want a deeper, more fulfilling way of Bible study? Do you want to know God through Scripture—not just to know the teachings, but to have a relationship with the Teacher? Perhaps you want to begin daily Bible reading, but need guidance. Or you need a guide for family Bible study. Or your small group Bible study needs revitalizing.This meditative commentary is for you. There are many commentaries on the books of the Bible and workbooks for Bible study, but this series is different. It employs the classic Christian method of “holy reading” to help you hear the voice of God.Holy reading involves slowly engaging a short passage of Scripture, listening closely, reading repeatedly, praying the words, and perhaps sharing with fellow believers. God will bless us, our families, and our churches if we take the time to be still, listen, and do his word.
Mark: Jesus is God's Son (Meditative Commentary #2)
by Earl LavenderUsing "holy reading," this book points us to God's voice in the gospel of Mark. This gospel is an action-packed, fast-paced version of Jesus' life and teachings. It invites you to profess that Jesus is indeed God's Son. And it invites you to live out that profession each day.
