 Michael Novak, "Washington's God: Religion, Liberty, and the Father of Our Country" English | ISBN: 0465051278 | 2007 | 304 pages | EPUB, MOBI | 375 KB + 539 KB Washington has long been viewed as the patron saint of secular government, but in Washington's God , Michael Novak and his daughter, Jana, reveal that it was Washington's strong faith in divine Providence that gave meaning and force to his monumental life. Narrowly escaping a British trap during the Battle of Brooklyn, Washington didn't credit his survival to courage or tactical expertise; he blamed himself for marching his men into certain doom and marveled at the Providence that delivered them. Throughout his career, Washington held fast to the conviction that America's liberty was dependent on our faithfulness to God's will and our trust in Providence.
 Virtues from Hell: Survivors of Conflicts and the Reconstruction-Reconciliation Processes by Fidèle Ingiyimbere English | EPUB | 2022 | 166 Pages | ISBN : 3030891720 | 0.3 MB This book offers a critical examination of certain ideas and values-such as remembering, forgiveness, story-telling through Truth and Reconciliation Commissions, etc.-that undergird the transitional practices and mechanisms of societies emerging from conflicts. It does so by making the survivors' experience the supreme and ultimate judge of the legitimacy of such practices. While many scholars have dealt with these topics, this book provides a unique perspective on them by using personal stories, narratives and memoirs of the survivors as a checking point of the theoretical elaboration of these ideas and values.

Fock - Selected Works: Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Field Theory" English | ISBN: 0415300029 | 2004 | 580 pages | PDF | 4 MB In the period between the birth of quantum mechanics and the late 1950s, V.A. Fock wrote papers that are now deemed classics. In his works on theoretical physics, Fock not only skillfully applied advanced analytical and algebraic methods, but also systematically created new mathematical tools when existing approaches proved insufficient.  Ingemar Nordin, "Using Knowledge: On the Rationality of Science, Technology, and Medicine " English | ISBN: 1498541097 | 2017 | 208 pages | PDF | 1170 KB In Using Knowledge: On the Rationality of Science, Technology, and Medicine Ingemar Nordin analyses the philosophical problems and nature of science, technology, and medicine. The main focus of the book is on the structure and dynamics of technological change. What implications do the goals of technology have for its rationality? How can the pragmatic problem of induction be solved within a fallibilistic and skeptical context? Nordin shows that the social context is of vital importance for the goal of technology (usefulness) and its rational development, with important consequences for how to design a techno policy in society. A rational technological development needs technological pluralism since knowledge of what is useful is scattered among millions of users.  John Carlin, "Use Fractions to Multiply!: Vedic Mental Math" English | 2014 | ISBN: 1501023179 | ASIN: B00NSP1XUU | EPUB | pages: 76 | 0.2 mb Use Fractions to Multiply!: Vedic Mental Math  University Engagement With Socially Excluded Communities By Paul Benneworth 2012 | 270 Pages | ISBN: 9400748744 | PDF | 3 MB This volume provides insightful analysis of the way higher education engages with socially excluded communities. Leading researchers and commentators examine the validity of the claim that universities can be active facilitators of social mobility, opening access to the knowledge economy for formerly excluded groups. The authors assess the extent to which the 'Academy' can deliver on its promise to build bridges with communities whose young people often assume that higher education lies beyond their ambitions. The chapters map the core dynamics of the relationship between higher education and communities which have bucked the more general trend of rapidly rising student numbers. Contributors also take the opportunity to reflect on the potential impact of these dynamics on the evolution of the university's role as a social institution. The volume was inspired by a symposium attended by a wide spectrum of participants, including government, senior university managers, academic researchers and community groups based in areas suffering from social exclusion. It makes a substantive contribution to an under-researched field, with authors seeking to both shape solutions as well as better diagnose the problem. Some chapters include valuable contextual analysis, using empirical data from North America, Europe and Australia to add substance to the debates on policy and theory. The volume seeks to offer a defining intellectual statement on the interaction between the concept of a 'university' and those communities historically missing from higher education participation, the volume deepens our understanding of what might characterise an 'engaged' university and strengthens the theoretical foundations of the topic.  Christine Woodcock, "Uniting the Science of Reading and Balanced Literacy with Social Justice" English | 2022 | ASIN: B0B2KCBTJ7 | EPUB | pages: 63 | 1.8 mb Chances are, if you're picking up this book, it is because you are a dedicated teacher who knows that something is amiss in our literacy education. I felt it, too, and I offer this book as a practical guide to my own journey in attempting to unite all of the feuding. Presumably, we all get into teaching because we want to make a sincere difference in the world, and in the lives of the students we educate. This book honors that passion, while making tactical, realistic sense out of the unnecessary fights that occur between proponents of the Science of Reading and Balanced Literacy. |
