Book Description
Excerpt from An Appeal to the Public, Especially Those Concerned in Education: Against the Wrong and Injury Done by Marcius Willson Again, the change of school books, without a sufficient rea son, is a great evil in our community. If every school-book, made by authors and publishers, merely to get money, by put ting together other people's materials, was out of the market, much of the embarrassment of teachers and school-committees would be avoided. In thus, reluctantly, coming before the public, I feel a confi dence which consoles me, that I shall find favor with the good and just. Such, who are women, will feel the cause to be their own and such, who are men, will attribute a peculiar sacredness to the interests of the weaker sex. Females have but few means of benefiting themselves or others, compared with males and when men go so far as to confederate against a woman, society at large requires of them, that their cause should be other than avarice, and their weapons, other than defamation. Io - Having premised thus much by way of introduction, we now proceed to give some history of the Report of Mr. Marcius Willson - which occupies the main body of his pam phlet - its first appearance in the Biblical Repository, and my Reply therein published.

Published by Mark H. Newman and Co., New York, 1847," Showing Also Their Trespasses on My Literary Property We now quote (adopting as our own his sentiments and lan guage) another writer, the special object of whose learned research is chronological history. J ohn Wade, author of British History, Chronologically Arranged, towards the close of his preface, thus remarks My endeavor has been to, consult the best authorities, carefully weigh their respective statements, and thence deduce a correct and faithful transcript. Of any party or sectarian predilections, likely to produce a wilful perversion of the truth, I am wholly unconscious.

Book Description
CNN host and best-selling author Fareed Zakaria argues for a renewed commitment to the world’s most valuable educational tradition. The liberal arts are under attack. The governors of Florida, Texas, and North Carolina have all pledged that they will not spend taxpayer money subsidizing the liberal arts, and they seem to have an unlikely ally in President Obama. While at a General Electric plant in early 2014, Obama remarked, "I promise you, folks can make a lot more, potentially, with skilled manufacturing or the trades than they might with an art history degree." These messages are hitting home: majors like English and history, once very popular and highly respected, are in steep decline. "I get it," writes Fareed Zakaria, recalling the atmosphere in India where he grew up, which was even more obsessed with getting a skills-based education. However, the CNN host and best-selling author explains why this widely held view is mistaken and shortsighted. Zakaria eloquently expounds on the virtues of a liberal arts education—how to write clearly, how to express yourself convincingly, and how to think analytically. He turns our leaders' vocational argument on its head. American routine manufacturing jobs continue to get automated or outsourced, and specific vocational knowledge is often outdated within a few years. Engineering is a great profession, but key value-added skills you will also need are creativity, lateral thinking, design, communication, storytelling, and, more than anything, the ability to continually learn and enjoy learning—precisely the gifts of a liberal education. Zakaria argues that technology is transforming education, opening up access to the best courses and classes in a vast variety of subjects for millions around the world. We are at the dawn of the greatest expansion of the idea of a liberal education in human history.

Book Description
The achievement of students of color continues to be disproportionately low at all levels of education. More than ever, Geneva Gay's foundational book on culturally responsive teaching is essential reading in addressing the needs of today's diverse student population. Combining insights from multicultural education theory and research with real-life classroom stories, Gay demonstrates that all students will perform better on multiple measures of achievement when teaching is filtered through their own cultural experiences. This bestselling text has been extensively revised to include expanded coverage of student ethnic groups: African and Latino Americans as well as Asian and Native Americans as well as new material on culturally diverse communication, addressing common myths about language diversity and the effects of "English Plus" instruction.
