Of Children and Unicorns


Book Description

Of Children and Unicorns is a humorous narration about special needs students that made up the classes over the years of special education teacher Joe Robert. Interspersed among the student anecdotes is commentary by Joe Robert about specific educational practices, methods, and trends. Mr. Robert is writing strictly from years of experience and not from theory or educational ideas that look good on paper, but fail in the classroom. Some of the anecdotes may make you cry a little, but most will make you laugh. He writes about methods that may seem unorthodox for some, yet worked for him. Robert uses the symbol of the fabled unicorn to represent those teachers who stepped outside of the box and did what they had to do to get their job done. The new teacher will look at this work and say, "So that's the way it was," while the experienced teacher will say, "Yes, I've been there. I remember that," and the non-teacher will just say, "Wow!"

The Master Unicorn


Book Description

Today, there are many attacks against the Word of God, but I believe in the authority given to us. The Bible is not referring to the mythological unicorn, the horse-with-a-horn creature of fairy tales and fantasy literature. In my study of the unicorn, I am led to believe that it was a wild ox. I believe it was a real creature of great strength. In Numbers 23:22 and 24:8, God compares His own strength to that of a wild ox. Deuteronomy 33:17 is a part of Moses, blessing on Joseph. He compares Joseph's majesty and strength to a firstborn bull. Moses prays for Joseph's military force, picturing it like a unicorn (wild ox) goring the nations. In Psalm 22:21, David asks God to save him from the powers of his wicked enemies, described as "the horns of the unicorns." In Psalm 29:6, the power of God's voice shakes the earth, causes the great cedars of Lebanon to break and "skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn." In Psalm 92:10, the writer confidently describes his military victory as "the horn of an unicorn." In Isaiah 34:7, as God is about to unleash his wrath upon Edom, the prophet Isaiah draws a picture of a great sacrificial slaughter, classifying the wild ox (unicorn) with the ceremonially clean animals that will fall to the sword. In Job 39:9-12, Job compares the unicorn or wild ox--a standard symbol of strength in the Old Testament--with domesticated oxen. I believe the unicorn is now extinct throughout the world.

The Mythic Chinese Unicorn


Book Description

This is the first book in the English language to explore the origin and significance of the mythic Chinese unicorn and its influence on later unicorn myths. It proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the Chinese unicorn was not the qilin, but a one-horned female goat-like beast called the zhi (pronounced jhuhr). It also examines the real animals upon which the myth was based. Its most significant finding, however, is that the unicorn zhi was the ultimate symbol of justice under the law in ancient China. Making judicious use of all available evidence, historical, epigraphical, archaeological, art historical and scientific, this book explains how the myth of the unicorn began in China and then gradually spread to other parts of Asia and Europe.
