Religion and American Education
Author: Warren A. Nord
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469617455
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 502
Book Description
Warren Nord's thoughtful book tackles an issue of great importance in contemporary America: the role of religion in our public schools and universities. According to Nord, public opinion has been excessively polarized by those religious conservatives who would restore religious purposes and practices to public education and by those secular liberals for whom religion is irrelevant to everything in the curriculum. While he maintains that public schools and universities must not promote religion, he also argues that there are powerful philosophical, political, moral, and constitutional reasons for requiring students to study religion. Indeed, only if religion is included in the curriculum will students receive a truly liberal education, one that takes seriously a variety of ways of understanding the human experience. Intended for a broad audience, Nord's comprehensive study encompasses American history, constitutional law, educational theory and practice, theology, philosophy, and ethics. It also discusses a number of current, controversial issues, including multiculturalism, moral education, creationism, academic freedom, and the voucher and school choice movements.

The Deep
Author: Karen Wiesner
Publisher: Writers Exchange E-Publishing
ISBN: 1925191427
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
For the ten generations since the evil first came to Woodcutter's Grim, the Guardians have sworn an oath to protect the town from the childhood horrors that lurk in the black woods. Without them, the town would be defenseless...and the terrors would escape to the world at large. Very loosely based on "Metamorphoses: The Story of Pygmalion and the Statue" by Ovid. Cheyenne Welsh can't forget her past and the disappearance of her younger sister. When she returns to Woodcutter's Grim to sell the family property she grew up on, she's confronted with all the nightmare-realities of her childhood, still alive and well, still right where she left them--down in the darkness the Deep dwells inside. Her home...

Advice, Social Learning and the Evolution of Conventions
Author: Andrew Schotter
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1009058959
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
As societies progress, old generations of social agents die and are replaced by new ones. This book explores what happens in this transition as the old guard instructs the new arrivals about the wisdom of their ways. Do new entrants listen and follow the advice of their elders or dismiss it? Is intergenerational advice welfare improving or can it be destructive? Does such advice enhance the stability of social conventions or disrupt it? Using the concept of an Intergenerational Game and the tools of game theory and experimental economics, this study delves into the process of social leaning created by intergenerational advice passed from generation to generation. This book presents a unique theoretical and empirical study of the dynamics of social conventions not offered elsewhere.

Sociology
Author: Steve Bruce
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192555804
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 138
Book Description
Drawing on studies of social class, crime and deviance, education, work in bureaucracies and changes in religious and political organizations, this Very Short Introduction explores the tension between the individual's place in society and society's role in shaping the individual, and demonstrates the value of sociology for understanding the modern world. In this new edition Steve Bruce discusses the continuing arguments for social egalitarianism, considering issues such as gay marriage, women in combat roles, and the 2010 Equality Act to debunk contemporary arguments against parity. As gender divisions are increasingly questioned he looks ahead to the likely consequences of this for society. Delving into the theory of sociology, Bruce also argues that the habit of dividing sociology into apparently competing 'sects' is misleading, and shows how a new understanding of the disciplinary background of many of the most famous theorists, which shows that much social theory is actually philosophy or literary theory, will prove useful to today's sociologists. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

Legendary
Author: Kourtney Cooper
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 142692190X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 306
Book Description
Found wandering along the roadside as a child, Kayden Pruitt was rescued by an angelic woman and her husband and grew up knowing a life of love and laughter. Now a student at the University of Oregon, Kayden hopes to make his foster mother proud of him through hard work and dedication. But always, at the back of his mind, is a nagging question of just who he really is and where he came from. When Kayden becomes entranced with a legend involving a long lost war between angels and demons and the rise of half-breeds, a multitude of inconceivable events begin to occur. But what was once just a need for answers quickly turns into a quest for survival for Kayden. As Kayden digs deeper into his own past and into the legend, a hidden world will come to light, secrets will be revealed, enemies will be made, and a race to save all of mankind from extinction will be set in motion. If that wasn't hard enough for Kayden to handle, discovering he is something that isn't supposed to exist, a..."unique" kind of half-breed, should really prove to complicate matters. And so, The Genesis begins.

Magenta
Author: Emmel Pound
Publisher: Booktango
ISBN: 1468955799
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 673
Book Description
'Magenta' refers to a tribe of primitives who decorate themselves with a broad magenta stripe from ear to ear across their faces. They live in the rain-forest and are engaged in a never ending if intermittent war with a second tribe at a similar level of social development. Large reptilian omnivores abound. Elsewhere and at a distant remove there lives a technically sophisticated but largely naive society. These are a population at the other end of the evolutionary scale whose ability to procreate due to isolation and many thousands of years of existence is on the wane. The tectonic plate upon which they live is inching towards ever colder climes (whilst separating from Pangaea, our original singular continent). Their race is not sustainable as things stand. Not only must they move to a warmer latitude to survive but also introduce new blood into their line. Given the necessity of interbreeding with primitives, amongst the more sophisticated population there is a commonly held fear that such a course of action might produce physically and mentally incompatible offspring. The higher culture’s government attempts to accelerate the mental development of the primitives by artificial means. A profiteering scheme that goes catastrophically wrong.....
