Letters to a Young Teacher
Author: Jonathan Kozol
File Type: epub
In these affectionate letters to Francesca, a first grade teacher at an inner-city school in Boston, Jonathan Kozol vividly describes his repeated visits to her classroom while, under Francescas likably irreverent questioning, he also reveals his own most personal stories of the years that he has spent in public schools. Letters to a Young Teacher reignites a numberof the controversial issues Jonathan has powerfully addressed in recent years the mania of high-stakes testing that turns many classrooms into test-prep factories where spontaneity and critical intelligence are no longer valued, the invasion of our public schools by predatory private corporations, and the inequalities of urban schools that are once again almost as segregated as they were a century ago. But most of all, these letters are rich with the happiness of teaching children, the curiosity and jubilant excitement children bring into the classroom at an early age, and their ability to overcome their insecurities when they are in the hands of an adoring and hard-working teacher. From the Hardcover edition.**

Author: Christopher M. Graney
File Type: pdf
Mathematical Disquisitions The Booklet of Theses Immortalized by Galileo offers a new English translation of the 1614 Disquisitiones Mathematicae, which Johann Georg Locher wrote under the guidance of the German Jesuit astronomer Christoph Scheiner. The booklet, an anti-Copernican astronomical work, is of interest in large part because Galileo Galilei, who came into conflict with Scheiner over the discovery of sunspots, devoted numerous pages within his famous 1632 Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World SystemsPtolemaic and Copernican to ridiculing Disquisitiones. The brief text (the original was approximately one hundred pages) is heavily illustrated with dozens of original figures, making it an accessible example of geocentric astronomy in the wake of the telescope. The treatise provides valuable insight into the astronomical debates of the seventeenth century, a time when the question of the Earths motion was still very much in flux. Whereas Galileos works are readily available, there are far fewer translations of works arguing the other side. Christopher Graneys translation focuses on the mathematical and astronomical core of Lochers work and is suitable for undergraduate students in courses on the history of science, philosophy of science, astronomy, and physics.

DEATH

Author: Andrew K. Boakye
File Type: pdf
The resurrection of Jesus is arguably the most significant component of the Christian narrative and is critical for Pauls presentation of the Gospel. Yet it is routinely marginalized in study of the polemics of Galatians, largely because it is explicitly mentioned only once, and even then, only obliquely. This investigation redraws the boundaries of its impact in the letter, showing the risen Christ to be an indispensable feature of how Pauls argument unfolds and achieves its ultimate objective--establishing a rationale for the creation of a multiethnic eschatological family of God, which is grounded in Israels biblical tradition. **

THE D

Author: Bill Finlayson
File Type: pdf
This thought provoking collection of new research papers explores the extent of variation amongst hunting and gathering peoples past and present and the considerable analytical challenges presented by this diversity. This problem is especially important in archaeology, where increasing empirical evidence illustrates ways of life that are not easily encompassed within the range of variation recognised in the contemporary world of surviving hunter-gatherers. Put simply, how do past hunter-gatherers fit into our understandings of hunter-gatherers?Furthermore, given the inevitable archaeological reliance on analogy, it is important to ask whether conceptions of hunter-gatherers based on contemporary societies restrict our comprehension of past diversity and of how this changes over the long term. Discussion of hunter-gatherers shows them to be varied and flexible, but modelling of contemporary hunter-gatherers has not only reduced them into essential categories, but has also portrayed them as static and without history.It is often said that the study of hunter-gatherers can provide insight into past forms of social organisation and behaviour unfortunately too often it has limited our understandings of these societies. In contrast, contributors here explore past hunter-gather diversity over time and space to provide critical perspectives on general models of hunter-gatherers and attempt to provide new perspectives on hunter-gatherer societies from the greater diversity present in the past. **

Explores the history of Woolfs diaries, not only to reveal heretofore unremarked sources but also to trace her evolving sense of possibilities in diary-writing, possibilities which helped shape Woolf as a fiction writer. A must-read for devotees of Virginia Woolf.--Panthea Reid, author of Art and Affection A Life of Virginia Woolf This revealing book gives us a diarist with greater literary range than Pepys and affords us a second pleasure the infinitely varied voices of the diaries Virginia read. They fascinate us as they fascinate her those writers who encouraged, warned, comforted, and trained a developing genius.--Nancy Price, author of Sleeping with the Enemy Lounsberrys deeply researched and gracefully written book shows not only Woolfs development into a great diarist but also her evolvement into the fiction and nonfiction writer revered today.--Gay Talese, author of A Writers Life Encompassing thirty-eight handwritten volumes, Virginia Woolfs diary is her lengthiest and longest-sustained work--and her last to reach the public. In the only full-length book to explore deeply this luminous and boundary-stretching masterpiece, Barbara Lounsberry traces Woolfs development as a writer through her first twelve diaries--a fascinating experimental stage, where the earliest hints of Woolfs pioneering modernist style can be seen. Starting with fourteen-year-old Woolfs first palm-sized leather diary, Becoming Virginia Woolf illuminates how her private and public writing was shaped by the diaries of other writers including Samuel Pepys, James Boswell, the French Goncourt brothers, Mary Coleridge, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and Woolfs diary parents--Sir Walter Scott and Fanny Burney. These key literary connections open a new and indispensable window onto the story of one of literatures most renowned modernists. Barbara Lounsberry is professor emerita of English at the University of Northern Iowa. She is the author of The Art of Fact Contemporary Artists of Nonfiction and coeditor of Writing Creative Nonfiction The Literature of Reality.

The South Caucasus has established itself as a corridor for transporting energy from Azerbaijan to Georgia, Turkey, and on to Europe, symbolized by the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline. This new infrastructure has created an east-west Eurasian bridge in which transnational extra-regional actors, especially the European Union and international financial institutions, have played a critical role. This book offers an original exploration of integration in the energy and transport sectors amongst Azerbaijan, Georgia, and Turkey, and the capacity of this to fundamentally change relations between these countries. In the period studied, from the mid-1990s to 2008, integration in energy and transport did not result in broader political, security, and sociocultural integration in any significant way. The author sets his analysis in a theoretical framework, drawing on theories of integration, but also grounds it in the detailed, empirical knowledge that is the measure of true expertise. **

SHELL

Author: Cian Duffy
File Type: pdf
Offering a genuinely fresh set of perspectives on Shelleys texts and contexts, Cian Duffy argues that Shelleys engagement with the British and French discourse on the sublime had a profound influence on his writing about political change in that age of revolutionary crisis. Examining Shelleys extensive use of sublime imagery and metaphor, Duffy offers not only a substantial reassessment of Shelleys work but also a significant re-appraisal of the sublimes role in the cultural history of Britain during the Romantic period as well as Shelleys fascination with natural phenomena.ReviewThe clear strength of the book is so vigorous an attempt to render Shelley a profoundly consisten thinker...we learn from this ambitious and valuable book how to call disparate works together and hear all of Shelleys texts converse with each other in engaging, instructive new ways. -John Morillo, North Carolina State University Studies in RomanticismCian Duffys recent Shelley and the Revolutionary Sublime will be welcomed by readers because it helps us to reconfigure the historical and theoretical terms in which Shelleys relation to the sublime has usually been understood...there is much to learn from Duffys account. -Mark Canuel, University of Illinois at Chicago, symploke Book DescriptionA major new study of Percy Shelleys intellectual life and poetic career, Shelley and the Revolutionary Sublime identifies Shelleys fascination with sublime natural phenomena as a key element in his understanding of the way ideas like nature and imagination informed the social and political structures of the Romantic period. Cian Duffy offers not only a substantial reassessment of Shelleys work but also a significant re-appraisal of the role of the sublime in the cultural history of Britain during the Romantic period.
