Question and Insight in Everyday Life
In Question and Insight in Everyday Life: A Blueprint for Transformative Problem Solving, Richard Grallo examines the nature and patterns of human problem solving. Grallo identifies four patterns of problem solving that together result in complex human learning and growth. The four patterns constitute a cycle that is transformative not only of problematic situations but of the problem solvers themselves. This book also explores the roles of questions, insights, the desire to know, and social trust in problem solving. Its conclusions apply equally to the problems of everyday life as well as to challenges that arise in educational, counseling, political, engineering, and science fields.

In 1964 educational activist Audrey Cohen and her colleagues developed a unique curricular structure that enables urban college students to integrate their academic studies with meaningful work in community settings.

What Philosophy Is
What do we mean when we talk about philosophy today? How does philosophy relate to science, to politics, to literature? What methods does the modern philosopher use, and how does philosophy progress? Does philosophy differ from place to place? What can philosophy do for us? And what can it not do? This book, with contributions from such exciting and influential contemporary philosophers as Simon Blackburn, Michael Friedman, Simon Critchley and Manuel DeLanda, offers us a fascinating picture of the character and methods of philosophy; its possibilities and its limitations. And of course, it is itself a piece of philosophy in action, not merely offering us answers but also prompting us to ask further questions and to philosophise for ourselves.

Better Beginnings, Better Futures
This document reviews the literature, summarizes key findings, documents limitations to the research, describes the components of a good program and recommends future directions for research and programming for each age-level subgroup. It also examines the limitations to research in primary prevention for young children in general, and presents guidelines important for the success of any primary prevention research demonstration project. It finally summarizes the themes common to primary prevention programs for young children across the three age groups: infants, preschoolers, and primary school-age children, and concludes by proposing an integrated model for research demonstration projects.
