Free Download Karl H. Potter, M. M. Agarwal, "Encyclopedia of Indian Philosophies: Bhedabheda and Dvaitadvaita Systems – v. 15"
English | 2013 | ISBN: 8120836375 | PDF | pages: 700 | 29.7 mb
All too frequently the term Vedanta is used when what is meant, whether recognized or not, is Advaita Vedanta and more specifically, the philosophical system associated with Sankaracarya. Yet in fact Vedanta, literally meaning "the concluding portions of the Veda", i.e., the Upanisads, is properly used in Indian philosophy to designate those systems that take such texts as the Upanisads authoritatively along with a few others such as the Brahmasutras, alternatively known as the Vedantasutras. There are a goodly number of philosophical systems, other than Sankara’s, that fall into the classification of Vedanta systems, many of them virtually unknown to most students.

Free Download Donna Couchenour, "The SAGE Encyclopedia of Contemporary Early Childhood Education"
English | ISBN: 148334035X | 2016 | 1600 pages | PDF | 10 MB

Deep understanding of child development, best educational practices based on development, emergent curriculum, cultural competence and applications of family systems are necessary for high-quality early education. Highly effective early childhood education is rare in that it requires collaboration and transitions among a variety of systems for children from birth through eight years of age.
