Many believe the first concrete representation of yoga comes from present-day Pakistan.Found in the Indus Valley Civilization (2500-1500 BCE), the discovery of the Pasupathi Sealsurfaced in the late 1920s. The low relief clay stamp depicts an individual seated in a posture,surrounded by animals. Branding goods from the ancient Indian valley madethem distinguishable when trading with the Near Eastern civilizations of Egypt andMesopotamia.1 In addition to labeling market products, the logos offered a pictorial glimpse intothe culture from which the goods came. It is fascinating that the northern Indian communitydeliberately selected the iconic image of a seated posture for a marketing logo. Is it possible theseal is the oldest example of the region self-identifying with the practice of yoga? Unfortunately,conclusive deciphering of the writing system of the Indus Valley is still in progress, and acomplete understanding of the meaning behind the form is yet to be determined.

Part sociology, part social history, part autobiography, this is the second volume in the 'Croydon Boy' trilogy in which Peter Saunders takes a very personal look back at raising a family, building a career, and searching for the meaning of life during the tumultuous years of the 1970s and 1980s. The book opens in 1971. The sixties are over. The Beatles have disbanded. Ali has lost his heavyweight crown. Crystal Palace have been relegated to Division III. And the government has just scrapped all-year British Summertime.Married at 20, a father at 21, the author is now living with his in-laws and it's not working out too well. The world isn't in a good state either. British troops shoot 13 civil rights demonstrators in Londonderry. Eleven Israeli athletes are slaughtered by Palestinian terrorists at the Munich Olympics. Unemployment and inflation are spiralling. And with the miners out on strike, we're lighting our homes with candles.But then, out of the East (Lincolnshire, to be exact) comes a new leader. An iron lady with hair sculpted like a knight's helmet who promises to restore peace and harmony to the land. That's when the shit really hits the fan.

I couldn't wait to begin my teaching career. I had always been captivated by children's imaginations and their inquisitive spirits.... Their eagerness to learn. Teaching new skills to entire classrooms of students was an exciting opportunity.I'm just a short while, I realized that it wasn't just me who was the teacher. As I shared in these children's daily lives, I also shared their hearts. They began teaching me life lessons, so I wrote this book to share these children's spirits with others. My hope is that my readers will laugh, will cry, and will see the world through the heart of a child. I challenge those who may be entering the teaching profession to be receptive to all that their own "little teachers" can teach them about life, the heart of a child, and how to make a difference in their lives.
