Reflection is the process or act of looking back at what you have done, what you thought, and how you felt at the time in order to generate new understandings. As a professional educator you will be required to make decisions that impact the lives of others and your ability to reflect upon your experience is essential as this can promote the active construction of new knowledge, skills, and attitudes to help you and your students excel. As you research reaching via reflective tasks, and generate new perceptions, awareness, and approaches, you are critically evaluating not only the practicum but also yourself within that context. Teachers teach who they are. In The Reflexive Physical Educator, Dr. Ryan guides student physical educators to higher levels of efficiency and proactive behavior to achieve optimum results both personally and professionally. Through practical lessons, lived experiences, and opportunities for reflection and action, you will be asked to reflect on your own experiences and question your current understanding. Not only will you learn how to be an effective physical educator, you''ll come to greater wisdom, gain invaluable insights, and enjoy deeper awareness of your philosophy of teaching.

Award winning thriller novelist, Thomas Ryan, is also a prolific writer of short stories and he brings more of his sense of fun and adventure to his new collection, Short Stories Volume 2. From the creepy ''Gerry'' to the humour of ''A Christmas Story'' and the human drama of ''The Best of Times'', there is more than enough variety to keep readers captivated. Ryan believes all good short stories should have unexpected twists and turns but mostly be entertaining to read. Applying his thriller techniques he manages to achieve this end with the suspenseful ''Wooden Sword'' and ''The Chest'' but it is in ''John Wayne'' Ryan displays his accomplished storytelling skills as he documents a fictitious episode in the famous actor''s life that leads to his almost bringing an end to the Second World War and a little known walk on a beach with Eva Peron. Quoting a reviewer of Thomas Ryan''s work, '' Ryan doesn''t leave you without a shock to the system. Page turner writing that delves into things you may not consider, but once you do you''re stunned by his ability to knock your boots off. This is "set your phasers on stun" material because you won''t put it down till you''re done, and then wonder-How does he come up with this?'' ''Short Stories Volume 2'' by Thomas Ryan is a must read.

"Men cannot stop growing, nor can they continue making new things merely in imitation of what has been done. Each age must have its new tempo, its own plan and pattern, and must express itself soundly in the terms of that pattern and in the measure of that tempo." -- Albert H. Krehbiel, Saugatuck, Michigan, 1930

In a world torn by ideological conflict, this book confronts the issue of being objective, of finding and accepting the truth using only logic and reason. The author refutes the conventional wisdom that has forever given elites an excuse to rule the world. Exploding the left''s altruist moral fantasy and disproving their economic agenda, the book presents an opposing philosophy of true freedom and liberation, a starting-from-scratch argument for a political ideal called "individual rights" protected by a legal system called "democratic capitalism" based on an alternative morality of self-interest and a radical new concept of free will that claims "life creates itself."It delivers a withering criticism to the collectivism that drives the mixed economies of modern times and a rebuke to the government experts who created this ever-expanding mess of economic controls and ever-growing crony capitalism and ever-more-suffocating forms of welfare statism. But conservatives may not like the book either because of its qualified atheism and the way it shows their religiously inspired duty-to-others moral standard pursues the same end the collectivists do and this is why the welfare state was created in the first place. Major social issues are logically dissected and a theory of art rounds out the work to explain why today''s entertainment is so coarse and full of violence.
