For All the Wrong Reasons
Follows the train of thought put in motion by Jean-Jacques Rousseau in the broad areas of progressivism, Romanticism, collectivism, and nationalism, to determine their relevance to the history of educational thought. After a brief biography of Rousseau and his influence on educational methods, chapters explore the progressive education movement in the 19th century, effects of the Romantic movement, and concepts of citizenship that led to the American and French revolutions. Concludes with an argument for the separation of school and state. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Knowing the Unknown: Through Science and Sufism
Knowing the Unknown Through Science and Sufism touches on the creation of the universe, starting from the Big Bang and following through the phases of evolution until the present day, discussing the appearance of life on earth after billions of years of turmoil. It looks at the early beginnings of religion in prehistoric societies and how this progressed into organized religion as we know it today. This book explores the similarities between the scientific concepts related to evolutionary change and the concepts that Sufis have highlighted with reference to verses of the Quran. It discusses the history of mankind and the journey through theological, philosophical, and spiritual phases. The book attempts to expand on the concept of time in relation to evolution and the difficulty in defining time and why the Quran mentions different times in different verses and also on an understanding of time in the present day. The subject matter is vast, but this book has attempted to address it in a more easily accessible way.
Game Theory and Minorities in American Literature

The state of international politics in the late 1930s certainly contributed to von Neumann's renewed interest in his theory, but a socioeconomic environment built on the legacy of slavery focused...

The House of Novello
By the mid-nineteenth century music publishing was no longer the provenance of shopkeepers, instrument makers or individual scholars, but a business enterprise undertaken by a new breed of Victorian entrepreneur. Two such were Vincent Novello and his son Alfred, whose music publishing house enjoyed significant growth between 1829 and 1866. Victoria Cooper builds up a picture of Novello during this period and the socio-economic and cultural climate that influenced the company's business decisions. Looking in detail at some of the editions Novello published, she analyzes the editing style of the firm and how this was dictated by Novello's main audience of amateur musicians and choral societies...
