Category : Education

Pages : 308
Book Description
Education is a discipline that is constantly emerging, and for which there are more questions than answers. Beyond the research reports, the articles in refereed journals, and the well-crafted presentations, what is happening in education? What difference does our work make in the lives of those we research? How is education as a whole different because of our effort? And what is the nature of the difference we make? This book provides some answers to those questions based on engaged and critical research from around the world. It is also a critical reflection on new possibilities for qualitative research, its implications and relevance to educational practice. Andrew Hargreaves, Enora Brown, Graham Hingagaroa Smith, Jack Whitehead, Mutindi Mumbua, Andrew Gitlin, Phil Carspecken, and others invite readers to join the conversation, and take it beyond these pages by enriching and extending the discourse within their communities of practice.

The Difference a D.O. Makes
Author: Bob E. Jones
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780578344638
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
Even though the osteopathic profession is over 100 years old, very little literature has been available to assist the public in better understanding osteopathic medicine. Perhaps this is the primary reason many persons cling to "old wives tales" in their concept of this uniquely American medical profession.It is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to relate in a few brief pages the history, nature, philosophy, methods, and processes of development of any profession and do it justice. Therefore, perhaps this effort to introduce once again osteopathic medicine to the public will encourage others to articulate their insights into osteopathic medicine and complement the work of ones who have tried.This book is written by a layman for the lay reader. Much of the information has been gleaned from the few written sources available and from personal taped interviews with more than thirty persons in the osteopathic profession and ones related to it by employment and dedication. Some of the information has not previously been widely disseminated to the public. Nonetheless, it is a documented part of the osteopathic story.The remainder of the information in the book reflects the author's observations and opinions based on years of experience with, appreciation for, and commitment to the osteopathic profession.The author hopes The Difference a D.O. Makes will make a positive difference in the public's understanding of osteopathic medicine.Bob E. JonesOklahoma City, OklahomaAll proceeds from the sale of this book go to the Oklahoma Educational Foundation for Osteopathic Medicine, whose primary function is to assist osteopathic medical students with low-interest loans.All inquiries regarding the purchase of this book should be directed to the Oklahoma Educational Foundation for Osteopathic Medicine (OEFOM), 4848 North Lincoln Boulevard, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, 73105-3335.

Prayer
Author: Philip Yancey
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310296102
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 369
Book Description
Philip Yancey probes the very heartbeat of our relationship with God: prayer. What is prayer? Does it change God's mind or ours or both? This book is an invitation to communicate with God the Father who invites us into an eternal partnership through prayer. Polls reveal that 90 percent of people pray. Yet prayer, which should be the most nourishing and uplifting time of the believer's day, can also be frustrating, confusing, and fraught with mystery. Writing as a fellow pilgrim, bestselling author of What's So Amazing About Grace? Philip Yancey probes such questions as: Is God listening? What should I pray for? If God knows everything, what's the point of prayer? If my prayers go unanswered, is there something wrong with my faith? Why does God sometimes seem close and sometimes seem far away? How can I make prayer more satisfying? In this powerful classic of spiritual insight and investigation, Yancey tackles the tough questions about the mystery of prayer and, in the process, comes up with a fresh new approach to this timeless topic. "I have learned to pray as a privilege, not a duty," writes Yancey, and he invites you to join him on this all-important journey.
