This collection of poetry, by artist and educator James D. Cain, is a heartfelt celebration of life, relationships, and the natural world, particularly the enchanting landscape of California's Central Coast. Rooted in a deep spiritual connection to nature, these poems explore the sacredness of the earth, the divine in everyday moments, and the profound beauty found in both human connections and the environment. The poems also pay tribute to an extraordinary relationship and marriage, reflecting the intertwining of love, spirituality, and a reverence for the natural world.

Vakuutusehtojen pykälä lupaa kaksinkertaisen korvauksen kaikista rautateillä sattuneista kuolemaan johtaneista onnettomuuksista. Tähän perustuen vakuutusasiamies Walter Huff suunnittelee täydellisen murhan. Hän tekee sen rahan takia - ja naisen. Suunnitelmassa on vain yksi epävarma tekijä: nainen ilman omaatuntoa. James M. Cain oli yksi Yhdysvaltojen merkittävimmistä ja luetuimmista rikoskirjailijoista. Nainen ilman omaatuntoaa on tekijän toinen romaani vuodelta 1936. Sitä edelsi jo neljään kertaan filmattu Postimies soittaa aina kahdesti. Monen elokuvan kohdalla on puhuttu Cainin toisen teoksen syvävaikutuksesta; suoraan se on kuvattu vain kerran, ohjaajana Billy Wilder ja toisena käsikirjoittajana Raymond Chandler, joka ei säästänyt sarkasmeja Cainista puhuessaan: "Kaikki, mihin hän koskee, alkaa haista kuin pukki. Hän on kirjailija jollaisia minä inhoan, faux-naïf, yksinkertaista esittävä, Proust rasvaisissa haalareissa, likainen pikkupoika joka on töhrimässä aitaa heti kun silmä välttää." Ross Macdonald on pitänyt Cainin ensimmäisiä teoksia "lyömättöminä amerikkalaisina mestariteoksina". Nainen ilman omaatuntoa lumoaa eleettömällä intensiteetillään, sen psykologinen ja eroottinen jännitys on lujasti otteessaan pitävää.

It helps learners realize that they can apply the lessons they learn and skills they use in a "contrived environment" such as a classroom or challenge course to real life issues such as resolving a conflict with friends, co-workers or significant others. Processing helps create purpose, meaning and focus of an activity it helps learners take advantage of teachable moments. A Teachable Moment is packed with over 120 activities to help you, the facilitator, help your participants transfer their learning back to everyday life. A Teachable Moment is perfect for new, as well as seasoned, facilitators.
