Varsity's Soldiers: The University of Toronto Contingent of the Canadian Officers’ Training Corps, 1914−1968 (The Canadian Experience of War)
by Eric McGeerThe role of Canadian universities in selecting and training officers for the armed forces is an important yet overlooked chapter in the history of higher education in Canada. For more than fifty years, the University of Toronto supported the largest and most active contingent of the Canadian Officers Training Corps (COTC), which sent thousands of officer candidates into the regular and reserve forces. Based on the rich fund of documents housed in the university archives, Varsity’s Soldiers offers the first full-length history of military training in Toronto. Beginning with the formation of a student rifle company in 1861, and focussing on the story of the COTC from 1914 to 1968, author Eric McGeer seeks to enlarge appreciation of the university’s remarkable contribution to the defence of Canada, the place of military education in an academic setting, and the experience of the students who embodied the ideal of service to alma mater and to country.

Vasant Bhag 2 class 7 - NCERT: वसंत भाग 2 कक्षा 7 - एनसीईआरटी
by Rashtriy Shaikshik Anusandhan Aur Prashikshan Parishadयह पाठ्यपुस्तक राष्ट्रीय पाठ्यचर्या की रूपरेखा (2005) के आधार पर तैयार किए गए पाठ्यक्रम पर आधारित है। यह पारंपरिक भाषा-शिक्षण की कई सीमाओं से आगे जाती है। राष्ट्रीय पाठ्यचर्या की नयी रूपरेखा भाषा को विद्यार्थी के व्यक्तित्व का सबसे समृद्ध संसाधन मानते हुए उसे पाठ्यक्रम के हर विषय से जोड़कर देखती है। इस नाते पाठ्यसामग्री का चयन और अभ्यासों में विद्यार्थी के भाषायी विकास की समग्रता को ध्यान में रखा गया है। कई प्रश्न-अभ्यास भाषा शिक्षण की परिचित परिधि से बाहर जाकर प्रकृति, समाज, विज्ञान, इतिहास आदि में विद्यार्थी की जिज्ञासा को नए आयाम देते हैं। पाठ केंद्रित प्रश्नों को क्रमशः विस्तार देते हुए पाठ के आसपास के ज्ञान-क्षेत्रों को भी दूसरे प्रश्न-समूहों में साथ रखने का प्रयास किया गया है। भाषा की बात करते हुए ऐसे शब्दों और प्रयोगों पर विद्यार्थी का ध्यान दिलाया गया है जिन्हें समाज की जीवंतता को साहित्यिक कृतियों में समेटते हुए साहित्यकार अपनी कृति में रखना आवश्यक समझते हैं और अकसर ऐसे आंचलिक शब्द और वाक्य प्रयोग आज के शहरी जीवन में अपेक्षाकृत कम सुनाई पड़ते हैं।

Vasari on Technique: Being The Introduction To The Three Arts Of Design, Architecture, Sculpture and Painting, Prefixed to the Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors and Architects (Dover Art Instruction)
by Giorgio VasariGiorgio Vasari (1511–1571) is well known for his celebrated work on the lives of the Renaissance artists. But not many people know that Vasari was a painter and architect as well as a biographer, and that he wrote one of the most valuable treatises on the technical methods of the painters, architects, and sculptors of his time. This is the first and only English translation of this important technical material (originally published in 1550 as an introduction to Vasari's Lives of the Artists).Vasari, as a practical craftsman, brings to his work as unusual understanding of the processes and materials he writes about, and conveys this knowledge to the reader in a style of the pleasantest and most readable kind. In the section on architecture, he describes the methods used in constructing rustic fountains and grottos; how Michelangelo developed new uses for architectural materials; the architectural uses of enriched plaster; the Renaissance view of Ionic, Doric, Gothic, and other types of architecture; and many similar topics.In the selection on sculpture, the reader will learn about the making of the model, completion of the statue, reliefs, bronze casting, modelled plaster work, sculpture in wood, and other processes. The final section, on painting, discusses aesthetics, perspective, foreshortening, how colors were blended, fresco painting, painting in tempera, oil painting, and much more.Scholars and historians of art have long used this book as the most detailed and valuable sourcebook of its time. But its full, readable discussions, combined with the sense of actuality and historical presence it contains, make it also perhaps the best possible description of the Renaissance artists in the heyday of their achievement.
Vaterschaft in Regenbogenfamilien: Eine Fallstudie zur Familiengestaltung und Elternpraxis homosexueller Männer (Familienforschung)
by Christian SagertChristian Sagert geht in diesem Buch der Frage auf den Grund, wie Väter ihre Lebenspraxis in gemeinsam realisierten Regenbogenfamilien gestalten, in denen eine normativ idealisierte Mutterrolle vermeintlich nicht existiert. Die qualitative Studie legt den Fokus erstmals auf Männerpaare, die den Wunsch nach Familiengründung fern von heterosexuellen Gründungszusammenhängen realisiert haben und macht dabei deutlich, welche Wirkungsmacht heteronormative Gesellschaftsstrukturen gerade für diese Familien entfalten. Daneben wird ein ausführlicher Überblick über die Lebenssituationen dieser Familien in Deutschland geboten: So werden u.a. die verschiedenen Entstehungszusammenhänge, die rechtliche Rahmung sowie Heteronormativität und Stigmata herausgestellt.

Vegan Virgin Valentine
by Carolyn MacklerFrom the author of the award-winning The Earth, My Butt, And Other Big Round Things comes the racy story of an overachiever who learns to get over it- and get a life. Mara Valentine is in control. She's a straight-A senior, a vegan, and her parents' pride and joy. She's neck-and-neck with her womanizing ex-boyfriend for number-one class ranking and plans to kick his salutatorian butt on her way out the door to Yale. Mara has her remaining months in Brockport all planned out, but the plan does not include having V, her slutty, pot-smoking, sixteen-year-old niece -- yes, niece -- come to live with her family. Nor does it involve lusting after her boss or dreaming about grilled cheese sandwiches every night. What does a control freak like Mara do when things start spinning wildly out of control? With insight, authenticity, and a healthy dose of humor, Carolyn Mackler creates an evolving Type A heroine that every reader will recognize -- and root for.

Con la profundidad de lo caracteriza, de su sabiduría y de su compasión, el Dr. Jeremiah analiza la poderosa importancia de la armadura espiritual como herramienta crítica en nuestra vida cotidiana, al confrontar los retos específicos de nuestras vidas y de nuestra época.Si ya estás harto de vivir en derrota, es hora de encontrar una fuerza renovada y reclamar las promesas de la palabra de Dios de vencer las mayores amenazas de la vida.

Venture Girls: Raising Girls to be Tomorrow's Leaders
by Cristal GlangchaiFrom an engineer and entrepreneur, a conversation-changing parenting book about how to engage young women in science, technology, engineering, and math, filled with practical advice for both parents and educators.As the female CEO of a tech startup, Dr. Cristal Glangchai was outnumbered twenty to one. At Google, Twitter, and Facebook, women currently fill just ten to twenty percent of technical jobs. While career opportunities in science, technology, engineering, and math have increased dramatically in the past twenty years, the achievement gap between men and women has only grown wider.In VentureGirls, Glangchai offers a unique solution based on her own experience as an engineer and entrepreneur as well as the founder of the VentureLab, an academy of entrepreneurship and technology for girls. Practical, accessible, and filled with success stories, VentureGirls argues that a key part of raising strong, confident young women is giving them the tools of entrepreneurship to engage in STEM. Entrepreneurship isn’t just about starting companies, Glangchai writes, it is a skillset and a way of thinking that is particularly useful in the fields of science, mathematics, engineering, and technology. Entrepreneurship involves identifying needs, brainstorming creative solutions, innovating, and taking calculated risks. In short, it’s about having a vision and making it a reality. The true value in learning and practicing entrepreneurship, Glangchai argues, lies in nurturing and growing an overall mindset—the ability to learn from failure and to work well with others to bring your ideas to life.Deeply informative, warm, and grounded in real-world experience, VentureGirls includes a plethora of activities and lessons that focus on strengthening kids’ ingenuity and resilience. VentureGirls is essential reading for anyone who wants to raise girls and young women who realize their strength, engage in the world, and feel empowered to make a positive impact.
