Imagination Now
The world is increasingly polarized along religious, ethnic, race, gender, class, and ideological lines. But must such diversity necessarily breed suspicion, fear, or violence? Richard Kearney invites us to consider another path. He wagers that the cause of our divisions often lies not in difference but in a lack of creative imagination. Ever in a spirit of dialogue, he shows how poetics and narrative imagination can break the hold of hostility and open new possibilities of reconciliation, accomplishing what moral arguments alone cannot. Now, more than ever, there is an urgent need for Kearney’s work, which addresses our current moment of crisis and division, providing pathways of creative response and healing. This book follows Kearney’s journey through the fields of philosophy of the imagination, hermeneutics, philosophy of religion, ethics, psychology, practical philosophy, and politics. The selection of writings in this volume offers to the specialist and the general reader a concise, well-rounded entry into one of the most prolific and wide-ranging thinkers in contemporary philosophy.
Reading & Writing in the Middle Years
An exploration of the latest and most successful approaches to teaching reading and writing to students in grades four to eight--students in these middle school years are already reading and writing but they need help in continuing to develop their literacy strategies and in constructing meaning with a variety of resources. It begins with the basic information that teachers need for understanding the reading and writing processes, and offers techniques for making literacy events meaningful to these growing students. Suggestions are made for how to make connections to print texts and the students' world, how to expand and monitor comprehension, and how to design instructional frameworks for supporting developing readers and writers, and effective ways to make nonfiction more meaningful for them. Rubrics, assessment checklists, and a bibliography complement this accessible resource.
The Insights Revolution: Questioning Everything
The insights industry is in trouble. It's not growing, despite an explosion of information, decreasing costs and an increase in the need for informed decision making. And it still does not have real influence in the boardroom. It is too often focused on what happened, and not on where to go and what to do next. It focuses on methodology instead of decision making. And it is gathering its data from people it treats like chattel, which leads to results being unreliable if not downright wrong. This book takes a problem/solution approach; it is organized into chapters which shine an uncomfortable light on all too familiar practices before suggesting a better way forward. The book is fueled by interviews with insights professionals, marketers and strategists from around the world, including people from organizations like Coca-Cola, Discovery Channel, Estée Lauder, ESOMAR, Facebook, Intel, Pfizer, PwC, Sunovion, Telstra, Twitter, Virgin Australia, U.S. Bank, Visa, Warner Bros, and World Vision.
Playing It By Ear
The author of All the King’s Horses and All the King’s Men: Love, Alienation, and "Reconciliation” in a Big, BIG Mormon Family (Xlibris, 2000) and the controversial Equal Rites: The Book of Mormon, Masonry, Gender, and American Culture (Columbia University Press, 2004) is at it again. American historian by day and Canadian jazz musician and playwright by night, Clyde R. Forsberg Jr. has also written five original “jazz-musicals.” A word of explanation is required. These five plays, four of which have been tested on stage and not found wanting, do not obey many of the rules of so-called dramaturgy. The playwright has no real right or claim to the office or title of playwright. Havin...

The Persecution of Professors in the New Turkey
Scholars credit the European Renaissance and Enlightenment to the fall of Constantinople in 1453, when Greek scholars in particular were driven from the Byzantine capital, taking with them everything they had learned about their own Greek intellectual heritage and classical philosophical tradition, thanks, in part, to the scholarly enterprise of Islamic scholasticism and a spirit of intellectual cooperation that had existed until that time. The “expulsion of excellence” that followed closely on the heels of Mehmed II’s military victory in 1453 proved problematic for an emergent, modern-Muslim, imperial power, which his capture of the Byzantine capital instigated, although it was a boon...
