People demand authentic participation in decisions that affect their lives. ToP? methods answer that call because they reflect how humans think, growing out of reflective inquiry into what works in real life, and the study of phenomenology and existentialism. This book explores the foundational understandings of this body of knowledge and its practice. Getting to the Bottom of ToP works at two levels: as a guide to processes that elicit participation to bring insights to the surface and ensur...

The Aeneid is widely considered Virgil's finest work and one of the most important poems in the history of western literature. Virgil worked on the Aeneid during the last eleven years of his life (29–19 BC), commissioned, according to Propertius, by Augustus. The epic poem consists of 12 books in dactylic hexameter verse which describe the journey of Aeneas, a warrior fleeing the sack of Troy, to Italy, his battle with the Italian prince Turnus, and the foundation of a city from which Rome ...

It is an acknowledged fact that we perceive errors in the work of others more readily than in our own.

—Leonardo da Vinci

In this Beginner's Psychology I have tried to write, as nearly as might be, the kind of book that I should have found useful when I was beginning my own study of psychology. That was nearly thirty years ago; and I read Bain, and the Mills, and Spencer, and Rabier, and as much of Wundt as a struggling acquaintance with German would allow.

To look is not the same as to see. By looking you can discern people and things. You look from a distance to bring them closer, to find out more. In doing this we use our language. We are makers of images, and with these images we create our reality.

To see or behold is something else. The moment you see, there is no distance between seer and what is seen. It happens directly, without the use of tools, immediately. The moments you see lead to wordless wisdom which is comprised of creativity, ...
