| dragon wars breeding guide: A Landscape with Dragons Michael D. O'Brien, 2011-05-24 The Harry Potter series of books and movies are wildly popular. Many Christians see the books as largely if not entirely harmless. Others regard them as dangerous and misleading. In his book A Landscape with Dragons, Harry Potter critic Michael O'Brien examines contemporary children's literature and finds it spiritually and morally wanting. His analysis, written before the rise of the popular Potter books and films, anticipates many of the problems Harry Potter critics point to. A Landscape with Dragons is a controversial, yet thoughtful study of what millions of young people are reading and the possible impact such reading may have on them. In this study of the pagan invasion of children's culture, O'Brien, the father of six, describes his own coming to terms with the effect it has had on his family and on most families in Western society. His analysis of the degeneration of books, films, and videos for the young is incisive and detailed. Yet his approach is not simply critical, for he suggests a number of remedies, including several tools of discernment for parents and teachers in assessing the moral content and spiritual impact of this insidious revolution. In doing so, he points the way to rediscovery of time-tested sources, and to new developments in Christian culture. If you have ever wondered why a certain children's book or film made you feel uneasy, but you couldn't figure out why, this book is just what you need. This completely revised, much expanded second edition also includes a very substantial recommended reading list of over 1,000 books for kindergarten through highschool. |

| dragon wars breeding guide: Connecting Children with Classics Meagan Lacy, Pauline Dewan, 2018-03-14 This guide identifies hundreds of books that can help children develop into engaged readers. Children's librarians, collection development specialists in public libraries, as well as K–8 school librarians and teachers will choose from the best in children's titles. This unique readers' advisory and collection development guide for librarians and others who work with children focuses on readers and their needs, rather than simply categorizing books by their characteristics and features as traditional literature guides do. Taking this unusual perspective brings forth powerful new tools and curricular ideas on how to promote the classics, and how to best engage with young readers and meet their personal and emotional needs to boost interest and engagement. The guide identifies seven reader-driven appeals, or themes, that are essential to successful readers' advisory: awakening new perspectives; providing models for identity; offering reassurance, comfort, strength, and confirmation of self-worth; connecting with others; giving courage to make a change; facilitating acceptance; and building a disinterested understanding of the world. By becoming aware of and tapping into these seven themes, librarians and other educators can help children more deeply connect with books, thereby increasing the odds of becoming lifelong readers. The detailed descriptions of each book provide plot summaries as well as notes on themes, subjects, reading interest levels, adaptations and alternative formats, translations, and read-alikes. This informative guide will also aid librarians in collection development and bibliotherapy services. |
| dragon wars breeding guide: White Knight, Black Knight Maggie Carpenter, 2013-11 Zander Davis, a loving, romantic Dominant, has squelched his true nature for many years, but a chance encounter with a dark-haired, green-eyed, Brazilian beauty named Gabriela Costa sets to flame the sleeping embers of his fiery, sensuous soul. Though their connection is immediate and deep, they both know Zander must walk away. He bids her a bittersweet farewell, thinking he will never see her again, but the future holds shocking surprises for them both. While engrossed in their conversation, neither noticed the man scowling at them from the bar. His name, Connor Matthews, and he was filled with an egomaniacal, jealous rage; Gabriela was supposed to wait for him. He is a conniving, narcissistic sadist, who uses social media as his hunting ground, seeking vulnerable, naive, young women. Claiming to be a Dominant, with the screen name Black Knight 007, he carefully selects and nurtures his victim, and once under his roof, cruelly forces her into domestic servitude, and uses her for his perverted sexual needs, replacing her when he becomes bored. But Zander and Gabriela will not be the only ones to experience a twist of fate. When Karma comes calling, Connor Matthews discovers the old adage, be careful what you wish for, to be horrifyingly true. WHITE KNIGHT, BLACK KNIGHT, is a compelling tale of Dominance and submission, good versus evil, a woman's courage, a man's faith, and their souls enduring love. |

| dragon wars breeding guide: Feeding a Hungry Planet James Lang, 2000-11-09 Rice is the food crop the world depends on most. In Feeding a Hungry Planet, James Lang demonstrates how research has benefited rice growers and increased production. He describes the life cycle of a rice crop and explains how research is conducted and how the results end up growing in a farmer's field. Focusing on Asia and Latin America, Lang explores lowland and upland rice systems, genetics, sustainable agriculture, and efforts to narrow the gap between yields at research stations and those on working farms. Ultimately, says Lang, the ability to feed growing populations and protect fragile ecologies depends as much on the sustainable on-site farm technologies as on high-yielding crop varieties. Lang views agriculture as a chain of events linking the farmer's field with the scientist's laboratory, and he argues that rice cultivation is shaped by different social systems, cultures, and environments. Describing research conducted by the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines and by the International Center for Tropical Agriculture in Colombia, he shows how national programs tailor research to their own production problems. According to Lang, the interaction of research programs, practical problem solving, and local extension efforts suggests a new model for international development. |
