It seems as if they can pick up any text, read it smoothly, and understand it quickly and completely. But for many of us, reading isn't that easy. We might know most of the words, but we don't always "get" all of the ideas: we struggle to make sense of what we read. When you can't comprehend everyday things like news stories, magazine articles, movie reviews, product manuals, job applications, and even birthday cards, it can be frustrating and embarrassing. If any of this sounds familiar, and you haven't known where to turn for help, then Video Aided Instruction's Upgrade Your Reading Comprehension is for you! This engaging literacy course can help you become a more capable, comfortable, and confident reader; it's like attending an "extra help" reading class with your own private tutor! This interactive program is jam-packed with lots of high-interest reading passages and coordinated exercises and activities. You'll turn apprehension into comprehension as you learn proven strategies for increasing your understanding and building your vocabulary. Item no. : MD07600085 Format : 3 DVDs Duration : 280 minutes StdBkNo : 9781573852616 Price : USD 200.00 RELIGION BON: BON: MUSTANG MUSTANG TO TO MENR MENRI MENR By Andrea Heckman, Rose Gordon, Tad Fettig Bon: Mustang to Menri tells the story of Asonam, a 10 yr. old boy, who made a journey from his homeland, the ancient kingdom of Mustang (now part of Nepal) to Menri Monastery in Northern India. There Asonam made the commitment to become a Geshe, equivalent to a PhD, and after 13 additional years of education in languages, philosophy, debate, and Bon traditions he achieved this goal. Decades after leaving his village, Asonam returns with the education, skill and will to answer a critically emerging need of the people of Mustang, those who follow Bon as well as those who follow other religious paths, by establishing a cultural center that will support and encourage the sustainability of their ancient and traditional heritage. Asonam's life is interwoven with the story of Bon and the efforts of the 33rd Abbot of Menri, who built Menri Monastery in Northern India after the destruction of the old Menri monastery in Tibet. This remarkable Abbot, as the head of an ancient lineage for over forty years, has orchestrated the preservation of Tibetan Bon culture and the education of thousands of monks, nuns and Bon children. He granted his approval and blessings with access to the monastery for this project. Filmed on location in Mustang, Nepal and Menri Monastery, India, the story illuminates the interconnectedness of education, commitment to service and spiritual dedication. It communicates Bon's story and unique place in history while illuminating how and why the work that monks do is important to the modern world. It is a universal message, one that reveals how inspired individuals can overcome challenges and adversity to order to have a positive impact on the world while giving back to the people, places and traditions that nurtured them. In the current age of wars and turmoil, this is a relevant and uplifting story of lasting traditions that are meaningful in the modern world with values that potentially can inspire us and help us transcend our global challenges.

Item no. : DK07860142 Format : DVD Duration : 52 minutes Price : USD 149.00 LOVER LOVER AND AND AND THE THE BELOVE BELOVED, BELOVE BELOVED, D, THE: THE: A A A JOURNEY JOURNEY INTO INTO TANTRA TANTRA By Andy Lawrence A documentary feature film about one man's journey across northern India and his search for enlightenment. Rajive McMullen, a history teacher suffering from a debilitating illness, makes the painful journey into the heart of Tantra, searching for meaning in holy shrines, coming close to death in cremation grounds and enjoying the chaos of the Aghori seekers. This film offers dramatic insight into Tantrik ideas about the life cycle, particularly death, and contributes much to our understanding of how we seek knowledge and how we die. The Lover and The Beloved also represents a realistic attempt to understand both the practice and illusive theory behind Indian Tantrism, and is intended to challenge widespread Western misinterpretations of this system of thought. Along the way we visit Kamakhya Devi in Assam and Tarapith in West Bengal, two of the most important centres of Tantrik Hinduism. Reviews � "...The Lover and the Beloved captures the atmosphere of this kind of milieu extremely well and I found it genuinely compelling viewing." - Jonathan Parry, LSE (author of Death in Banaras) � "...dazzled, moved, shaken, engaged... the evocation of a certain and wonderfully wierd India is perfect." - Lee Siegal, (Pulitzer Prize nominee and author of Net of Magic: Wonders and Deceptions in India) Item no. : WH03720829 Format : DVD (Color) Duration : 70 minutes Copyright : 2011 Price : USD 282.00 MBIRA MBIRA DZA DZA VADZIMU: VADZIMU: VADZIMU: RELIGION RELIGION AT AT AT THE THE FAMI FAMILY FAMI LY LEVEL LEVEL WITH WITH GWANZURA GWANZURA GWENZI GWENZI One of a series of films examining in detail the use of the traditional African mbira in the cultural life of the Mashona people of Rhodesia.

Price : USD 245.00 RELIGION / PHILOSOPHY EINSTEIN: EINSTEIN: THE THE MAN MAN BEHIND BEHIND THE THE GENIUS GENIUS GENIUS This unique one-man show stars actor Steve Polinsky who portrays the great scientist Albert Einstein. This dramatic production presents Einstein's life, and the ideals, conflicts, humor and compassion of the man who revolutionized our view of the universe. yIn the tradition of the finest one-man shows, this play has reaped its share of critical acclaim, and is now presented for the first time on DVD. This revealing program explores Einstein's private life. We discover in him a man of humor, deep moral commitment, involvement in the political issues of his time, a contagious enthusiasm for life and a never-ending wonder about the world around him. We meet Albert Einstein at his home in Princeton, New Jersey in the autumn of his life. He recalls his youth in the patent office and the objections of his superiors working on a scientific paper during office hours-a paper that turned out to propose the theory of relativity. He is fascinated by everything around him-in a cup of tea the swirling leaves suggest to him aspects of the nature of the universe. A photo reminds him of the pain he suffered when he separated from his first wife. The warmth of his feelings towards people is matched by the outrage he feels toward the rise of fascism which forced him to leave his native Germany. Arriving in America, Einstein often speaks out passionately about the dangers of nuclear power. He talks of the honor he felt being offered the presidency of Israel, and he imagines a conversation with Sir Isaac Newton. In this thoughtful, provoking, humorous and human portrayal of Albert Einstein we discover not only the man who transformed our conception of the universe, but also the best parts of ourselves. Item no. : NT00770166 Format : DVD (Region 1, Color) Duration : 60 minutes StdBkNo : 9780769791272 Price : USD 50.00 FAMOUS FAMOUS AUTHORS: AUTHORS: CONFUCIUS CONFUCIUS This overview of Confucius' biography and philosophy from the Famous Authors series contextualizes Confucius' life during the Zhou Dynasty, relaying the Chinese values of family and ancestor-worship, history and record-keeping, and spirituality. This time saw many intellectual developments and the concepts of morality and peace were emerging, and the program demonstrates the major influence Confucius and his Analects, a collection of epigrams, has had on Chinese culture. He focused on four major issues: helping people to be good, honorable, and responsible members of society; learning and education; filial duty; and ritual and music. The program illuminates many of his epigrams on these topics and distinguishes between Confucianism, which focuses on personal behavior, and other religions which depend on exclusive priesthoods and common beliefs. Item no. : WZ00770182 Format : DVD (Region 1, Color) Duration : 35 minutes StdBkNo : 9780769791517 Price : USD 50.00 SITES SITES OF OF THE THE WORLD'S WORLD'S CULTURES CULTURES CULTURES - STONEHENGE STONEHENGE AND AND MEGALITHIC MEGALITHIC CULTURES CULTURES CULTURES Some 5,000 monuments have been preserved from the Neolithic Age. They testify to a culture which left no written evidence and whose religious ideals are obscured by a veil of conjecture. Numerous unsolved questions still fascinate people, as do the huge dolmens and menhirs, the burial mounds and stone circles. They create for us a society which was capable of great feats. This informative program focuses on Stonehenge, the symbol of megalithic culture, and investigates the relationship of space, power and death, essential to any understanding of this unique monument. Item no. : YA00770452 Format : DVD (Region 1, Color) Duration : 60 minutes StdBkNo : 9780769790725 Price : USD 50.00 RITES AND RITUALS AFFLICTIONS: AFFLICTIONS: AFFLICTIONS: CULTURE CULTURE AND AND MENTAL MENTAL ILLNESS ILLNESS ILLNESS IIN I N INDONESIA INDONESIA - RITUAL RITUAL RITUAL BURDENS BURDENS BURDENS By Robert Lemelson The film focuses on Ni Ketut Kasih who has lived her whole life surrounded by the complex rhythms of the Balinese ritual calendar. Here, participation in ritual events is both a spiritual mandate and social obligation for women who spend countless hours crafting offerings. Ni Ketut's masterful hand has contributed to her status as a highly respected ceremonial leader. However, the pressures of ritual requirements often overwhelm her, crowding her mind with memories of her difficult childhood during Indonesia's war for independence. This may trigger Ketut's bi-polar disorder episodes, for which she has been hospitalized over 35 times. Ni Ketut's case reveals the binding associations that may make certain burdens unbearable as cultural obligations, traumatic historical events, and personal experience overlap in unique schemas of stress that trigger cyclical episodes of mental illness.
