Inspired by games between the author and his grandchildren. This book has colour, a variety of bears and a scattering of imagination. It contains ideas as to what to do and the 'story' line and repetitive flow makes it a good book for bedtime.

In this book the focus is images with a straight vertical line. The first book did this around the forms of reflected images and was call 'On Reflection'. The project continues as does the travelling that inspires and enables them.

Mit diesem mutigen Buch hat der amerikanische Jesuit und Bestseller- Autor in den USA eine heftige Debatte in Gang gesetzt: Viele schwule, lesbische, transgender Katholiken fühlen sich in ihrer Kirche nicht willkommen und ausgeschlossen. Für James Martin sind sie Mitglieder der Kirche wie alle anderen auch: 'Für Jesus gibt es nicht die und wir'. Anhand dreier zentraler Begriffe aus dem katholischen Weltkatechismus (Respekt, Mit-Fühlen und Empathie) entwirft er einen Weg, wie VertreterInnen der katholischen Kirche ihren schwulen, lesbischen und transgender Gläubigen begegnen können und umgekehrt: wie diese eine Beziehung zu ihrer Kirche aufbauen können. Für eine Kirche im Umbruch ein Buch zur rechten Zeit!

The minor pentatonic scale is the most crucial in a guitarist's arsenal, but all too often we learn a box pattern or two and leave it at that, limiting ourselves to cliched licks and run of the mill phrasing.

The major scale is the root of all theory and harmony, but many guitarists are intimidated by the jargon that surrounds the scale and its associated modes. In Pt. 2 of this book, the major scale is deconstructed and demystified and the modes of the major scale unlocked. Your playing will never be the same after you've absorbed the rhythm and lead patterns this book contains! Take the step and revolutionise your playing today!
