Eihei Dogen: Mystical Realist
Eihei Dogen, the founder of the Japanese branch of the Soto Zen Buddhist school, is considered one of the world's most remarkable religious philosophers. Eihei Dogen: Mystical Realist is a comprehensive introduction to the genius of this brilliant thinker. This thirteenth-century figure has much to teach us all and the questions that drove him have always been at the heart of Buddhist practice. At the age of seven, in 1207, Dogen lost his mother, who at her death earnestly asked him to become a monastic to seek the truth of Buddhism. We are told that in the midst of profound grief, Dogen experienced the impermanence of all things as he watched the incense smoke ascending at his mother's fune...
Improving Learning Environments
Improving Learning Environments provides the first systematic comparative cross-national study of school disciplinary climates. In this volume, leading international social science researchers explore nine national case studies to identify the institutional determinants of variation in school discipline, the possible links between school environments and student achievement, as well as the implications of these findings for understanding social inequality. As the book demonstrates, a better understanding of school discipline is essential to the formation of effective educational policies. Ultimately, to improve a school's ability to contribute to youth socialization and student internalization of positive social norms and values, any changes in school discipline must not only be responsive to behavior problems but should also work to enhance the legitimacy and moral authority of school actors.

Inhabiting Implication in Racial Oppression and in Relational Psychoanalysis
What does it feel like to encounter ourselves and one another as implicated subjects, both in our everyday lives and in the context of our work as clinicians, and how does this matter? With contributions from a diverse group of relational psychoanalytic thinkers, this book reads Michael Rothberg’s concept of the implicated subject—the notion that we are continuously implicated in injustices even when not perpetrators—as calling us to elaborate what it feels like to inhabit such subjectivities in relation to others both similarly and differently situated. Implication and anti-Black racism are central to many chapters, with attention given to the unique vulnerability of racial minority i...
Nine-Headed Dragon River
In August 1968, naturalist-explorer Peter Matthiessen returned from Africa to his home in Sagaponack, Long Island, to find three Zen masters in his driveway—guests of his wife, a new student of Zen. Thirteen years later, Matthiessen was ordained a Buddhist monk. Written in the same format as his best-selling The Snow Leopard, Nine-Headed Dragon River reveals Matthiessen's most daring adventure of all: the quest for his spiritual roots.

Mastering Core TOEFL iBT/TOEIC Words
This book contains as many as 1,650 core TOEFL iBT/ TOEIC words along with synonyms, definitions, example sentences, and 29 different reviews provided by my colleagues and students. In order to help students preparing for the TOEFL iBT/TOEIC to memorize the words more effectively, certain words have stars (*), which indicate the degrees of difficulty of memorizing them. Based on my long-term TOEFL/ TOEIC teaching experience, students preparing for the TOEFL iBT/TOEIC must precisely learn the definitions of the core TOEFL iBT/ TOEIC words in this book to enhance their TOEFL iBT/ TOEIC scores. Once students have memorized all the words, they will be able to start dealing with questions from the reading, writing, listening, and speaking sections more easily and efficiently. I have no doubt that this book will enable students to become better TOEFL iBT/ TOEIC test takers.
