This book chronicles the school envisioned by Eleanor Roosevelt in 1933 to serve Arthurdale, the New Deal government-created community in north-central West Virginia. Arthurdale was founded to house unemployed miners and their families and provide them with opportunities to receive healthcare and obtain gainful employment. Roosevelt had a particular interest in the education of children, feeling that education and social life were profoundly intertwined within a community. With that in mind, in 1934, she hired Elsie Ripley Clapp¿an educator and leader in the Progressive Education movement¿to design and implement the school, as well as oversee the social life of Arthurdale as a whole. In addition to covering the Arthurdale School's birth, life, and dissolution, Rosenberg discusses how the lessons of the school might serve the culture of education today, especially as an element of a comprehensive approach to community revitalization.

Deploying a spatial approach towards children¿s everyday life in interwar Hong Kong, this book considers the context-specific development of five transnational movements: the garden city movement; imperial hygiene movement; nationalist sentiments; the Young Women's Christian Association; and the Girl Guide. Locating these transnational cultural movements in four layers of context, from the most immediate to the most global, including the context of Hong Kong, Republican China, the British empire, and global influences, this book shows Hong Kong as a distinctive colonial domain where the imperatives around race, gender and class produced new products of empire where the child, the garden, the school and sport turned out to be the main dynamics in play in the interwar period.

This book is first in its category to reflect a lived experience from a phenomenological viewpoint within the Hizmet Movement (HM). Through the author's lens, you will read about the transformation of HM along with his own over a span of three decades. Moreover, the book does not shy away from sensitive subjects such as LGBTQA+ topics in this Turkey-based, Muslim educational movement.

A full copy of the interview with Mr. Fethullah Gülen on education and language is available at the end of the book.This would be an excellent source for educational psychology departments, teacher training programs, political science, and theology majors.

The book examines Slovak education as an example of totalitarianism, exploring two opposing sides: the publicly expressed values and ideals of offi cial compulsory education subordinated to government power and the alternative ideals and concepts of unofficial education implemented by informal groups and underground organizations (dissent). The authors seek answers to Hannah Arendt's iconic questions: What happened? Why did it happen? How could this happen? The title of the book also references the dualism in the lives of individuals and families who did not identify with the doctrine of Marxism-Leninism and totalitarian ways of governing. In order to preserve their inner freedom, they lived a double life, one in private and the other in public.

This shocking story of the Gillespie family and their fellow Scots-Irish to gain their freedom and liberty from the cruelties of the English Crown is chronicled from William Wallace to the American Revolutionaries. Their heritage of bravery and zeal led to the establishment of the Bill of Rights to the U. S. Constitution. The core of this riveting story is the renowned Scottish Philosophers (Luther, Calvin, Knox, Locke Gillespie, and Rutherford) and their belief in a Liberty of Consciences upon which the principles of America's Constitutional law are founded. The Gillespies ensured the survival of the Presbyterian Church through their unwavering stand against the corrupt Stuart Kings. Revengefully King James II torched, imprisoned, and killed the humble Presbyterian Covenanters. Everyone will be enlightened by the fact that the Westminster Confession of Faith which George Gillespie was instrumental in writing illuminates many ideals upon which America was founded and was a required curriculum for America's founding fathers who attended Harvard, William and Mary, Yale, and Princeton. The Catechisms were the most widely read publication in colonial America second to the Bible. Listed are suggested Constitutional amendments to control the corruption of today's Congress. Obviously, the Scots-Irish colonial pioneers of democracy, who were such visionaries and refused to ratify the Constitution due to lack of control over Congress and the President, would insist on similar controls. You'll discover from a, never before-published, Gillespie family perspective the trials and tribulations of founding the Nation's first public University, The University of North Carolina. Discussed are the Federalists' and Anti-Federalists' turmoils and the campus unrest that were ignited by the passage of the Jay Treaty.

This book sets forth the history of intercollegiate athletics at Florida institute of Technology, commonly known as Florida Tech. Florida Tech was founded in 1958 on Florida's Space Coast in order to provide continuing education for engineers and scientists at nearby Cape Canaveral in the early days of space exploration. Within a few years, the university began to develop a robust intercollegiate athletic program. The book seeks to pay tribute to the men and women who have been responsible for the success of the program. At the same time, it illustrates how an intercollegiate athletic program can succeed and remain consistent with the core values of the university. In today's environment of big-time college sports, the distinction between intercollegiate sports and professional sports becomes blurred as academic institutions compromise academic standards in pursuit of athletic success and devote a disproportionate share of resources to athletics at the expense of academic needs. The book makes a compelling argument that an intercollegiate sports program can support and enhance the academic objectives of the institution without compromising academic standards or misallocating resources.Florida Tech competes In NCAA Division II and the highly competitive Sunshine State Conference. It does so while adhering to its rigorous academic standards with an emphasis on science and engineering. The book demonstrates that in order to maintain such an athletic program, the university must have a strong, well-articulated value system and must insist that all adhere to those values.Another conclusion to be drawn from the book is that volunteers devoting their efforts to support the athletic teams can go a long way toward offsetting the limited resources available within the university's budget.

Embedded within military intelligence and communications, wartime cryptography was a man's world filled with engineers, mathematicians, statisticians, military tacticians, political scientists, and linguists. But women did much more during World War II than resupply coffee and shuffle papers. Even beyond nursing and manufacturing, women working top-secret desk jobs played an integral role in supporting the Allied effort. They helped shorten the length of the war, saving countless lives in the process. Bringing to light the quiet heroism of female code breakers of WWII is an opportunity to showcase the exceptional women who saved lives and changed the tide of the greatest war in human history. The life of a female codebreaker was not a simple one. Even as they applied themselves to complicated counterintelligence work and labored daily alongside their male colleagues, they fought an uphill battle on many different fronts inside and outside the office. Despite the constant need to "prove" themselves and justify their life choices to men and women alike, these brilliant women never thought of themselves as heroes, but rather as citizens performing their duty, in common with the pragmatic attitudes that many people held during the war. As such, their stories and accomplishments have remained firmly under the radar-often missing from official documentation, history books, public lore, and therefore general public awareness.The British feat of breaking the German Enigma code at Bletchley Park has been celebrated in popular culture in various books and movies, but the stories of many women who worked to break codes in the complex world of cryptography remain relatively untold.Many of the men who served in the war have been made heroes through the documentation of and telling and retelling of their daring exploits. Not so the unsung women heroes of WWII.Inside Women Code Breakers: The Best Kept Secret of WWII you'll learn the true stories of female code breakers whose top-secret work helped win World War II, including: ¿ the stories of Elizebeth Friedman, Joan Clarke, Coral Hinds, and many other great minds working for the Allied forces from the United States, Great Britain, and Australia-all of whom were trailblazers in the field of cryptography¿ a simple rundown on cryptography as a science, the history of its use, and what it took to break wartime codes ¿ the legacies of these exceptional women, and the impacts their work had both on the war effort and in the years after ¿ the social constraints and sexist attitudes that women faced, even as they worked on highly classified projectsBy knowing the names and faces of the heroic women codebreakers of WWII, we are finally allowing their lives and accomplishments to shine. If you are looking for a unique perspective of wartime history then Women Code Breakers: The Best Kept Secret of WWII is a great place to start!

In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, thousands of pupils attended boarding schools in various places across the globe. Their experiences were vastly different, yet they all had in common that they were separated from their families and childhood friends for a period of time in order to sleep, eat, learn and move within the limited spatial sites of the boarding school. This book frames these ¿boarding schools¿ as a global and transcultural phenomenon that is part of larger political and social developments of European imperialism, the Cold War, and independence movements. Drawing together case studies from colonial South Africa, colonial India, Dutch Indonesia, early twentieth-century Nigeria, Fascist Spain, Ghana, Nazi Germany, nineteenth-century Ireland, North America and the Soviet Union, this edited collection examines the ways in which boarding schools extracted pupils from their original social background in order to train, mold and shape them so that they could fit intothe perceived position in broader society. The book makes the broader argument that framing boarding schools as a global phenomenon is imperative for a deepened understanding of the global and transnational networks that linked people as well as ideas and practices of education and childhood in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

El libro que tiene en sus manos es un tratado sobre la comunicación que Dios hizo al hombre: el idioma en que lo hizo, distintas características de ese idioma, cómo pudo llegar hasta nosotros cuando tantos otros idiomas han desaparecido, etc.

Die "Schule von Jasnaja Poljana" auf dem Landgut Leo N. Tolstois kann in keiner Darstellung zur Geschichte der Reformpädagogik übergangen werden. Die vorliegende Neuedition enthält u.a. alle Grundtexte zu dem berühmten Schulmodell 1859-1862. Vereinigt sind in einem Band beide Teile der erstmals 1907 erschienenen deutschen Gesamtausgabe von "Pädagogischen Schriften" des russischen Dichters (Redaktion: Raphael Löwenfeld, Übersetzungen: Otto Buek).Tolstoi, seit Jugendtagen ein Verehrer von Jean-Jacques Rousseau, lehnte Erziehung als Zwang und Indoktrination ab: "Die einzige Grundlage der Erziehung ist die Erfahrung und ihr einziges Kriterium ist die Freiheit." Misstrauen entmutigt uns Menschen und führt zur Starre. Kinder lernen rein gar nichts, wenn sie in regelrechten Verhören examiniert und mit Strafandrohungen eingeschüchtert werden. Begegnung - statt Reglementierung - und Methodenvielfalt - statt Dogmatismus - sollten in Jasnaja Poljana walten. "Nur die Freiheit seitens der Schüler, zu wählen, was und wie man lernen soll", kann "eine Grundlage für den Unterricht abgeben". "Der Lehrer strebt stets unwillkürlich danach, die Methode des Unterrichts zu wählen, die ihm am bequemsten" erscheint. Indessen ist "nur diejenige Unterrichtsart die richtige, mit der die Schüler zufrieden sind."Der Staatsmacht waren das Wunder eines freien Lehrens und Lernens in Jasnaja Poljana sowie die beteiligten Studenten suspekt. Sie ließ 1862 die Räume des Grafen polizeilich durchsuchen und verschaffte sich sogar Zugang zu den persönlichsten Aufzeichnungen. Der Unterricht musste eingestellt werden. Doch Tolstoi versuchte nur ein Jahrzehnt später einen Neuanfang, erarbeitete ein bahnbrechendes "ABC-Buch" und galt gegen Ende seines Lebens als Pionier einer Pädagogik, die der Herrschaft von Menschen über Menschen nicht dienlich ist.Tolstoi-FriedensbibliothekReihe B, Band 16 (Signatur TFb_B016)Herausgegeben von Peter Bürger,Editionsmitarbeit: Ingrid von Heiseler

"Pioneers Of the American West" comes in four volumes, in chronological order. The history of the American West is the story of trail-makers, pioneers in every sense of the word. Blazing the way for all, came the men and women who explored and ploughed and planted the wilderness. Many of the most stirring of these chronicles have passed out of print and are now inaccessible even to the painstaking student. It is from among these almost forgotten, yet vital records that this series is based upon. Volume I. traces the trail of adventures from 1804 of "The Unbroken Wild, from the journals of Lewis and Clark", Jim Beckwourth from 1824, the Pathfinder In the High Rockies, of John C. Fremont in 1842, grizzly fighter Hugh Glass "The Wilderness Hunter" in 1845, and "At Fort Laramie" in 1846.
