Book Synopsis Making a World of Difference by : Miles Roston
Download or read book Making a World of Difference written by Miles Roston. This book was released on 2010-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every once in a while a book is published that reminds us what is best about being human. This is such a book. It tells the true and inspiring stories of ordinary people who became extraordinary, who changed their lives in order to make the world a better place. These amazing people live with the joy of knowing they make a difference. Their joy will inspire you. In this inspiration book, writer and film-maker Miles Roston tells the stories of people from around the world who, despite unlikely backgrounds, have used their skills and energy to change the lives of those less fortunate than themselves. They demonstrate that one person can make a difference, and by doing so live a life of sheer joy. Who would have thought that a Catholic priest from New York would end up caring for the dying in a Buddhist hospice in Thailand? Or that a marketing executive with a glamorous job at L'Oreal in Paris would open a beauty salon and restaurant in Cambodia staffed by former street kids? And there are more extraordinary journeys: the couple in Amsterdam who built an animal farm for children in a slum; the rebel leader from Darfur who fights for his people from afar; the blonde Australian who champions the rights of sex workers world-wide; the investment banker from Hong Kong who has helped thousands of children orphaned when the blood supply was contaminated by Aids; and the Methodist minister in America who discovered her preacher husband was gay, then devoted her life to helping young people threatened by violence, drug addiction and unsafe sex. What unites the people in this book is their passion and compassion. And what the book reveals is their secret: that in doing good for others, you transform your own life and gain what one person calls 'the contentment of giving'. Often eye-opening, always challenging, this is a book that can change lives – even your life.

Book Synopsis A World of Difference by : Eric Sheppard
Download or read book A World of Difference written by Eric Sheppard. This book was released on 2009-08-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely regarded as the authoritative text on development geography, this volume examines the nature and causes of global inequality and critically analyzes contemporary approaches to economic development across the third world. Students gain a deeper understanding of the interacting dynamics of culture, gender, race, and class; biophysical factors, such as climate, population, and natural resources; and economic and political processes—all of which have led to the present-day disparities between the first and third worlds. Numerous examples, sidebars, and figures illustrate how people in the Global South are experiencing and contesting the forces of globalization.

Book excerpt: Parenthood has two sides – joy on one side, and anxiety and concerns on the other. Parenting today is not as simple as it was a few decades ago. The world is complex and navigating it as a parent with your child, can sometimes be daunting. This is more so if your child has a diagnosis of autism. This book is for parents, special educators and students of behaviour and psychology, written within the social and cultural context of life in the subcontinent. Written by Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA®), it helps parents and caregivers of individuals with autism understand and deal with behaviour, within evidence-based frameworks. The content is presented in simple language, in a format that takes you step-by-step into understanding behaviour, with examples and case studies. For parents struggling to cope with bringing up a child with autism, and who have little or no access to evidence-based approaches, this book is perfect as a ‘ready-to-reference’ handbook in their day-to-day interactions. Behaviour and its understanding is not just limited to children with special needs. In the broader sense, this book is for every parent who wants to understand their child’s behaviour, and make those corrections to transform parenthood into a journey of many happy memories! A must-have for every family bookshelf!
