| creative confidence torrent: Raising Curious, Creative, Confident Kids Rebeca Wild, 2000 How can we create schools that reinforce each child's joy of life, curiosity, individuality, the natural conviction of his or her own self-worth and the worth of others--and that meet the highest academic standards as well? Rebeca Wild, a principal in a Pestalozzi school in Ecuador--the model for a grassroots educational movement in several European countries--reveals how the children in her Pesta classroom experience reading, writing, and mathematics, as well as art, music, geography, the natural sciences, social issues, even matters of life and death. Rebeca Wild shares the organic process by which the Pesta method evolved and explains how the Pesta experience transforms not only the children--including many diagnosed with various psychological problems and learning disabilities--but the parents and teachers as well. |

| creative confidence torrent: Discrepant Solace David James, 2019-05-23 Consolation has always played an uncomfortable part in the literary history of loss. But in recent decades its affective meanings and ethical implications have been recast by narratives that appear at first sight to foil solace altogether. Illuminating this striking archive, Discrepant Solace considers writers who engage with consolation not as an aesthetic salve but as an enduring problematic, one that unravels at the centre of emotionally challenging works of late twentieth- and twenty-first-century fiction and life-writing. The book understands solace as a generative yet conflicted aspect of style, where microelements of diction, rhythm, and syntax capture consolation's alternating desirability and contestation. With a wide-angle lens on the contemporary scene, David James examines writers who are rarely considered in conversation, including Sonali Deraniyagala, Colson Whitehead, Cormac McCarthy, W.G. Sebald, Doris Lessing, Joan Didion, J. M. Coetzee, Marilynne Robinson, Julian Barnes, Helen Macdonald, Ian McEwan, Colm Tóibín, Kazuo Ishiguro, Denise Riley, and David Grossman. These figures overturn critical suppositions about consolation's kinship with ideological complaisance, superficial mitigation, or dubious distraction, producing unsettling perceptions of solace that shape the formal and political contours of their writing. Through intimate readings of novels and memoirs that explore seemingly indescribable experiences of grief, trauma, remorse, and dread, James demonstrates how they turn consolation into a condition of expressional possibility without ever promising us relief. He also supplies vital traction to current conversations about the stakes of thinking with contemporary writing to scrutinize affirmative structures of feeling, revealing unexpected common ground between the operations of literary consolation and the urgencies of cultural critique. Discrepant Solace makes the close reading of emotion crucial to understanding the work literature does in our precarious present. |

| creative confidence torrent: The Films of Jean-Luc Godard David Sterritt, 1999-08-13 The Films of Jean-Luc Godard examines the work of one of the most versatile and influential filmmakers in the history of cinema. With a career ranging from France's New Wave movement in the early 1960s to a period of political experimentation in the late 1960s and 70s, and, currently, a contemplative period in which Godard has explored issues of spirituality, sexuality, and the aesthetics of sound, image, and montage, the filmmaker's work defies easy categorization. In this study, David Sterritt offers an introductory overview of Godard's work as a filmmaker, critic, and video artist. In subsequent chapters, he traces Godard's visionary ideas through six of his key films, including Breathless, My Life to Live, Weekend, Numéro deux, Hail Mary, and Nouvelle Vague formats. Linking Godard's works to key social and cultural developments, The Films of Jean-Luc Godard explains their importance in modernist and postmodernist art of the last half century. |

| creative confidence torrent: Traitors or Patriots? Louis R. Eltscher, 2018-08-01 Little is known today of the extent and intensity of the anti-Nazi activity that occurred inside Hitler’s Germany. Even less is known about those whose courage and conviction drove them to risk—and lose—everything to bring the Third Reich to an end. Drawing on extensive sources, author Louis R. Eltscher examines the role of the German anti-Nazi resistance inside the Third Reich in Traitors or Patriots? Beginning with the post–World War I German society that led to Hitler’s role as führer, Eltscher documents the rise of anti-Nazi activity, different types of resistance groups, and the difficulties in achieving organization. In addition, Eltscher discusses the role of the German Army in detail. He reveals how the resistance determined that Hitler’s elimination by the German Army remained the key to success. Eltscher profiles key resistance figures, considers the reality of an omnipresent totalitarian police state, and studies the moral issues the resistors faced. Presented within the broader context of German history and contemporary world events, this comprehensive study relies on extensive historiography by noted scholars to produce a well-balanced, timely narrative of the German resistance to one of history’s most violent regimes. In its second edition, Traitors or Patriots? tells a story of incredible courage and conviction that transcends time and place—a story for our own time and for all time. |
| creative confidence torrent: The Memetic Matchmaker Katheryn Delara, 2024-11-14 Neo-Kyoto, 2042. A kaleidoscope of self-propagating memes paints the city’s consciousness, a digital deluge navigated by the renowned memeticist, Dr. Elias Vance. He sees memes as intricate algorithms, predictable in their behavior, until he encounters Aura. Shimmering, ethereal, she is the personification of a meme, yet possesses wit, vulnerability, and a longing for understanding that disrupts Elias’s sterile, data-driven world. Aura is an anomaly, a glitch in his carefully constructed reality. As their conversations traverse the virtual memesphere and the bustling city, an intimacy blossoms, captivating Elias with her ethereal beauty and unsettling familiarity. But their connection draws the attention of Dr. Bethany Wright, Elias’s pragmatic colleague, who warns of the dangers of blurring professional lines. Her concerns are underscored by the ominous presence of Randall Carlson, a ruthless tech mogul fixated on exploiting Aura for technological control. Whispers of their relationship ignite a public debate about technology, identity, and the increasingly blurred lines between reality and the virtual. Elias is torn between protecting Aura and the implications of acknowledging their love, a revelation that could shatter the fragile peace between the physical and digital realms. Meanwhile, Aura experiences the world with childlike wonder, exploring human emotion and the complexities of love and belonging. Pursued by Carlson’s agents, they journey deep into the interconnected networks of the memesphere, a digital labyrinth reflecting their emotional states and the shifting power dynamics of the outside world. As Carlson intensifies his efforts, Bethany becomes a reluctant ally, her loyalty to Elias forcing her to confront her own anxieties. The story evolves into a tense thriller, a race against time as they grapple with the profound implications of their connection. The climax unfolds in the heart of the memesphere, a breathtaking digital battleground where the fate of Aura, Elias, and perhaps humanity hangs in the balance. Elias must choose between scientific objectivity and his love for Aura, while Aura must decide whether to fight for her freedom or succumb to control. Their choices will determine the trajectory of a world on the precipice of a new era, where the boundaries of reality have dissolved and the definition of love is rewritten by the algorithms of the future. The resolution is not a simple victory or defeat, but a complex tapestry of choices and consequences, leaving the reader pondering the nature of consciousness, the ethics of AI, and the enduring power of human connection. Elias and Aura's love story becomes a metaphor for the challenges and opportunities of this new era, a poignant reminder that even amidst profound technological change, the fundamental human need for connection and understanding remains. |

| creative confidence torrent: Anthropology, Colonial Policy and the Decline of French Empire in Africa Douglas W. Leonard, 2019-12-26 Conceived as both a vehicle to national prestige and as a civilizing mission, the second French colonial empire (1830-1962) challenged soldiers, scholars, and administrators to understand societies radically different from their own. The resultant networks of anthropological inquiry, however, did not have this effect. Rather, they opened pathways to political and intellectual independence framed in the language of social science, and in the process upended the colonial political system and reshaped the nature of human inquiry in France. While still unequal, French colonial rule in Africa revealed the durability and strength of non-European modes of thought. In this influential new study, historian Douglas W. Leonard examines the political and intellectual repercussions of French efforts to understand and to dominate colonial Africa through the use of anthropology. From General Louis Faidherbe in the 1840s to politician Jacques Soustelle and sociologist Pierre Bourdieu in the 1950s, these French thinkers sowed the seeds of colonial destruction. |

| creative confidence torrent: Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Team Sports: Contextualizing Training and Competition Demands Miguel-Angel Gomez-Ruano, Pierpaolo Sansone, Vincenzo Rago, 2024-12-04 Team sports performance is determined by the complex, non-linear interaction of several factors, including physical and physiological aspects, technical-tactical constraints, mental demands, perceptual and emotional aspects, and contextual and environmental factors. The influence of each of these aspects has been previously investigated. However, studies have often employed monodimensional perspectives, looking at one, or only a few different domains concurrently. In football and rugby, extensive efforts have been produced to contextualize the demands of training and competition based on players’ characteristics, tactical constraints, and contextual factors. This information facilitates coaches in selecting the most appropriate training and competition strategies based on a number of different factors, including the team and the opponents’ characteristics, technical-tactical abilities, fitness status, and considering contextual factors. Differently, there is a lack of information on contextualized competition demands in other team sports, such as basketball, handball, futsal, and volleyball. Furthermore, the mental demands and psychological and emotional implications of team sports have received little or monodimensional attention, limiting the applicability of findings in real-life scenarios where a multitude of factors belonging to different disciplines (e.g., physiology, psychology, training science, social sciences) need to be taken into account. |

| creative confidence torrent: The Real George Eliott Lisa Tippings, 2021-06-09 The Real George Eliot revisits the life of the groundbreaking nineteenth century novelist. Eliot was a writer who explored such important questions as the role of women in society and the education they were allowed to access, religion and the restrictions it could sometimes place on individuals, and the struggle between a person’s public and private persona. Her own private life was the cause of much speculation and notoriety. Eliot chose to ignore most of the conventions of Victorian society in order to pursue her own happiness, and her relationship with George Henry Lewes scandalized many members of ‘polite’ society. Regardless of this, however, she overcame such prejudice and in later life enjoyed the company of some of the greatest thinkers and academics of the time, and this is a testament to her formidable intelligence. The fact that she is still so widely read today, is a sign of the longevity of her skills as a writer. |
