In the Presence of Each Other
There can be little doubt that pedagogical practices have increasingly become focused on reading and writing in childhood education. In the Presence of Each Other is a brilliant ethnography that examines the educational benefits of the use of oral storytelling in the classroom and the ways in which non-print literacy enhances children's overall language and communication capacities. Presenting a strong argument based on compelling evidence for the incorporation of oral practices in the classroom, Johanna Kuyvenhoven follows a group of children in grades four and five as they forge an inclusive learning environment that respects linguistic, social, and ethnic diversity by sharing stories out loud. She traces the positive effects that oral storytelling has on children's vocabularies, writing skills, as well as for problem-solving abilities and empathetic responses that are essential to learning across the disciplines. In the Presence of Each Other is a ground-breaking work not only for educators but also for anyone interested in the practice of storytelling.

Dutch Chicago
Now at least 250,000 strong, the Dutch in greater Chicago have lived for 150 years "below the radar screens" of historians and the general public. Here their story is told for the first time. In Dutch Chicago Robert Swierenga offers a colorful, comprehensive history of the Dutch Americans who have made their home in the Windy City since the mid-1800s. The original Chicago Dutch were a polyglot lot from all social strata, regions, and religions of the Netherlands. Three-quarters were Calvinists; the rest included Catholics, Lutherans, Unitarians, Socialists, Jews, and the nominally churched. Whereas these latter Dutch groups assimilated into the American culture around them, the Dutch Reforme...
Sin and Grace
Originally published in Dutch in the USA in 1923 and titled Van Zonde en Genade, book argues against the concept of a common grace of God to the reprobate that was first introduced into theological circles by Dr. Abraham Kuyper of the Netherlands. Authors show the theory of common grace to be unbiblical and contrary to the Reformed continental creeds. The authors supply a brief history of the importance of particular grace in Reformed theology, land ay out their analysis of sin and grace using an "organic" approach, often quoting from Kuyper's work De Gemeene Gratie. They answer pro-common grace arguments of Rev. Henry Wierenga of the Christian Reformed Church and of Dr. Valentine Hepp of the Free University of Amsterdam. They also exegete key Bible passages that pro-common grace men were fond of quoting. This book is of historical importance in revealing the controversies of the 1920s, which resulted, after the pubication of the book, in the deposition of both authors from the Christian Reformed Church and their helping to found the Protestant Reformed Churches, which stood squarely against common grace and for a particular grace of God in the salvation of the elect.
Handbook of Clinical Gender Medicine
A new vision to understanding medicine Gender medicine is an important new field in health and disease. It is derived from top-quality research and encompasses the biological and social determinants that underlie the susceptibility to disease and its consequences. In the future, consideration of the role of gender will undoubtedly become an integral feature of all research and clinical care. Defining the role of gender in medicine requires a broad perspective on biology and diverse skills in biomedical and social sciences. When these scientific disciplines come together, a revolution in medical care is in the making. Covering twelve different areas of medicine, the practical and useful Handb...
