Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The distinctive group of forty colleges profiled here is a well-kept secret in a status industry. They outdo the Ivies and research universities in producing winners. And they work their magic on the B and C students as well as on the A students. Loren Pope, director of the College Placement Bureau, provides essential information on schools that he has chosen for their proven ability to develop potential, values, initiative, and risk-taking in a wide range of students. Inside you'll find evaluations of each school's program and personality to help you decide if it's a community that's right for you; interviews with students that offer an insider's perspective on each college; professors' and deans' viewpoints on their school, their students, and their mission; and information on what happens to the graduates and what they think of their college experience. Loren Pope encourages you to be a hard-nosed consumer when visiting a college, advises how to evaluate a school in terms of your own needs and strengths, and shows how the college experience can enrich the rest of your life.

Download or read book Hiram College and Western Reserve Eclectic Institute written by F. M. Green and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hiram College and Western Reserve Eclectic Institute: Fifty Years of History, 1850-1900 There are some things which can be stated in a Preface or Introduction better than in the body of a book. Some personal explanations can be made which would be altogether out of place anywhere else. In the preface the author of a volume or treatise mounts his throne and asserts his dictum. It should be known to all that the author whose name ap pears on the title page of this volume was not the first in the Hiram fellowship to gather material, to outline its use, and to enter upon the writing of a Hiram history. Mainly to the Faculty of Hiram College, and especially to Professor A. C. Pierson who was selected by them, is the credit due for the idea which has been expanded into the present vol ume. To the great sorrow of a large circle of friends and co-laborers in behalf of Hiram College and higher educa tion, Prof. Pierson died suddenly at the begnning of his work, leaving for another hand to do what it was hoped he would be able to perform. He had gathered considerable material and had outlined his plan of work, and had written a little more than one chapter. Substantially he completed the first chapter of the history, and with slight change that chapter stands as he wrote it and as a memoral of high per sonal regard and of the high esteem in which he was held by his associates in the Faculty and the students and friends of Hiram College. In his foreview of University and its Sons, Dr. John Eaton, himself an eminent educator, says: How often do both the faculty and students of a genera tion fail to gain the inspiration justly theirs, by reason of the lack of knowledge of the sacrifices and triumphs of those who have gone before them. How many fail to bestow their wealth in aid of this instruction, and how many sonsfail to take advantage of it because they, or those advising them, do not know what those receiving it have thereby gained to themselves, or what they have contributed to the uplifting of mankind and the advancement of civilization. To furnish this knowledge of what Hiram College has ac complished in fifty years in material equipment, and in the uplift of mankind is the purpose of this history. The power of a college is not in what it promises to do but in what it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Tending the Epicurean Garden written by Hiram Crespo and published by Humanist Press. This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Be Smart About Being Happy Gods may exist, but they’re too far removed to care about humans. So our best purpose in life is not to please gods, but to be happy. Which is not as easy as it sounds, since short-term pleasures and selfishness create longer-term misery. Thus taught Epicurus, 2,300 years ago. Hiram Crespo brings the Epicurean passion for maximum happiness into the modern age with this practical guidebook. Step one in what Crespo calls the “hedonic calculus” is to rein in desires, so they become easier to satisfy – just the opposite of the luxurious indulgence so often incorrectly associated with Epicureanism. From there, he offers a blizzard of ideas, from healthy recipes that stimulate natural “feel-good” chemicals in the brain to the journaling of positive events, even on a bad day. The highest attainable happiness, though, is communing with friends – it just doesn’t get any better than that. Being smart about being happy means using the best knowledge and tools available. Tending the Epicurean Garden is an excellent place to start.
Download or read book Ableism The Causes and Consequences of Disability Prejudice written by Michelle R. Nario-Redmond and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first comprehensive volume to integrate social-scientific literature on the origins and manifestations of prejudice against disabled people Ableism, prejudice against disabled people stereotyped as incompetent and dependent, can elicit a range of reactions that include fear, contempt, pity, and inspiration. Current literature—often narrowly focused on a specific aspect of the subject or limited in scope to psychoanalytic tradition—fails to examine the many origins and manifestations of ableism. Filling a significant gap in the field, Ableism: The Causes and Consequences of Disability Prejudice is the first work to synthesize classic and contemporary studies on the evolutionary, ideological, and cognitive-emotional sources of ableism. This comprehensive volume examines new manifestations of ableism, summarizes the state of research on disability prejudice, and explores real-world personal accounts and interventions to illustrate the various forms and impacts of ableism. This important contribution to the field combines evidence from multiple theoretical perspectives, including published and unpublished work from both disabled and nondisabled constituents, on the causes, consequences, and elimination of disability prejudice. Each chapter places findings in the context of contemporary theories—identifying methodological limits and suggesting alternative interpretations. Topics include the evolutionary and existential origins of disability prejudice, cultural and impairment-specific stereotypes, interventions to reduce prejudice, and how to effect social change through collective action and advocacy. Adopting a holistic approach to the study of disability prejudice, this accessibly-written volume: Provides an inclusive, up-to-date exploration of the origins and expressions of ableism Addresses how to resist ableist practices, prioritize accessible policies, and create more equitable social relations with pages earmarked for activists and allies Focuses on interpersonal and intergroup analysis from a social-psychological perspective Integrates research from multiple disciplines to illustrate critical cognitive, affective and behavioral mechanisms and manifestations of ableism Suggests future research directions based on topics covered in each chapter Ableism: The Causes and Consequences of Disability Prejudice is an important resource for social, community and rehabilitation psychologists, scholars and researchers of disability studies, and students, activists, and academics across political, sociological, and humanistic disciplines.
