Download or read book Connecting the Dots in World History A Teacher s Literacy Based Curriculum written by Chris Edwards and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-11-10 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his previously written articles and books, Chris Edwards has argued that Teaching should be considered a field that is separate from both the field of Education and from the content area fields. Teaching is a field which synthesizes content and method for classroom application. All of the other major intellectual fields have a canon of works which practitioners can learn from and add to, but Teaching does not. The Connecting-the-Dots in World History: A Teacher’s Literacy-Based Curriculum series changes this by showing how effective a teacher-generated curriculum can be. These books can inspire other teachers to create their own curriculums and inspire a change in the way that the public views teachers and teaching.

Download or read book A Treasury of Deception written by Michael Farquhar and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2005-05-31 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We may say that honesty is the best policy, but history—to say nothing of business, politics, and the media—suggests otherwise. In this infinitely citable book, the author of two bestselling treasuries of scandal recounts some of the greatest deceptions of all time. With what forged document did the Vatican lay claim to much of Europe? Who wrote Hitler’s diaries? Why do millions still believe the vague doggerel that Nostradamus passed off as prophecy? Organizing his material by theme (con artists, the press, military trickery, scientific fraud, imposters, great escapes, and more), Michael Farquhar takes in everything from the hoodwinking of Hitler to Vincent “the Chin” Gigante’s thirty-year crazy act. A Treasury of Deception is a zestful, gossipy exposé—and celebration—of mendacity. A Treasury of Deception also includes: Ten tricksters from scripture Ten great liars in literature Ten egregious examples of modern American doublespeak Ten classic deceptions from Greek mythology

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From affluence to penury in three generations; love, loss and then the disaster that 'another country' would bring about. Born in 1799 Richard Ward Warren trained as a carpenter as his father had before him and then went on to become a relatively wealthy builder, Freeman of Leicester and Guardian of the Poor. Shortly after Richard's death, however, his son, John dies in tragic circumstances leaving his wife, Mary and their children to fend for themselves. As things gradually improve, Mary's son, also Richard, finds work in the hosiery trade but after he marries and starts a family the changing fortunes of the industry, poor housing and poor health care begin to take their toll alongside the increasing threat of war. When war does break out in 1914 six of Richard's sons are drawn into the conflict and the stories of three of these young men are described in detail along with various other related aspects of that dreadful conflict. After the war, although the Armistice had signalled the end of the physical struggle, for many of those who did return the fight was far from over and the consequences could still wreak havoc. Set against the strains of the times and the developments, particularly during the Victorian era, that mostly, but not always, improved things, And There's Another Country chronicles the effects of these influences on the members of one Leicester family and how the evolving political and social tendencies ultimately led to the First World War and its aftermath.

About anathema Often we hear this terrible word - anathema - without thinking about its meaning. Some consider the anathema an excommunication, others - a curse similar to spiritual death. Why is the Church preaching love and mercy pronouncing this cruel word? This book contains historical and theological works on the essence of anathema and on the rite of anathematization now being revived in liturgical life, performed on the first Sunday of Great Lent - on Orthodoxy Week. It provides an opinion on the anathema of the saints of the Orthodox Church (St. John Chrysostom, St. Ignatius (Brianchaninov), St. John of Kronstadt), modern theologians, as well as the definition of the Holy Synod and acts of the Council of Bishops on excommunication of famous historical figures from the ancient times to the present day. We hope that the book will help you understand this healing action of the Holy Church, designed to protect the church people from spiritual diseases – heresies and schisms. ANATHEMA Publicly declared excommunication man from ecclesial communion. It applies to certain people as the highest disciplinary measure of ecclesiastical penalties for serious public sins against the Church, as a rule, for heretical or schismatic movement. Anathema also undergo certain theological statements. This means that such statements are not only false, but generally incompatible with Orthodox faith and, therefore, lead to a falling away from it (heresy). In the church sense of the word anathema has not cursed the person (eg, a heretic), wishing him ill, and says it is the actual determination of the Church. If he is alive, he has a chance to repent and return to church. In Synodikon with anathemas most famous heretics (which must be read in the church on the feast of the Triumph of Orthodoxy in the first week of Lent) states that they have already laid the anathema. Thus, public anathema only brings to the public a fait accompli of their falling away (upon heresy) from the Church. Although the heretics who have been subjected to anathema, fell away from the Church - the Body of Christ, the question of their posthumous fate remains an open question, since God judges them. Commandment stop ecclesial communion with heretics is already in the letter of the Apostle Paul: ... the heretic man denies vedy, for theirs is such is subverted, and sins, and there is self-condemned (Titus 3: 10-11.). The act of public anathema not only serves as a warning against falling away into heresy and call to repentance for those who have already dropped out, but also becomes a kind of church law (canon), whose knowledge is necessary for bishops, priests, and of all those who teach the people Orthodox faith. If the lack of warning "anathema" signal could be a mitigating factor for fallen away, the presence of an aggravating circumstance is anathema to those who knew about it, she decided to neglect, as well as for those who do not bother to learn about it.

Download or read book Beyond the Flesh written by Jenifer Presto and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2009-01-15 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though the Russian Symbolist movement was dominated by a concern with transcending sex, many of the writers associated with the movement exhibited an intense preoccupation with matters of the flesh. Drawing on poetry, plays, short stories, essays, memoirs, and letters, as well as feminist and psychoanalytic theory, Beyond the Flesh documents the often unexpected form that this obsession with gender and the body took in the life and art of two of the most important Russian Symbolists. Jenifer Presto argues that the difficulties encountered in reading Alexander Blok and Zinaida Gippius within either a feminist or a traditional, binary gendered framework derive not only from the peculiarities of their creative personalities but also from the specific Russian cultural context. Although these two poets engaged in gendered practices that, at times, appeared to be highly idiosyncratic and even incited gossip among their contemporaries, they were not operating in a vacuum. Instead, they were responding to philosophical concepts that were central to Russian Symbolism and that would continue to shape modernism in Russia.

Download or read book Stalin s Usable Past written by David Brandenberger and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2024-05-21 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the height of the Great Terror in 1937, Joseph Stalin took a break from the purges to edit a new textbook on the history of the USSR. Published shortly thereafter, the Short History of the USSR amounted to an ideological sea change. Stalin had literally rewritten Russo-Soviet History, breaking with two decades of Bolshevik propaganda that styled the 1917 Revolution as the start of a new era. In its place, he established a thousand-year pedigree for the Soviet state that stretched back through the Russian empire and Muscovy to the very dawn of Slavic civilization. Appearing in million-copy print runs through 1955, the Short History transformed how a generation of Soviet citizens were to understand the past, not only in public school and adult indoctrination courses, but on the printed page, the theatrical stage, and the silver screen. Stalin's Usable Past supplies a critical edition of the Short History that both analyzes the text and places it in historical context. By highlighting Stalin's precise redactions and embellishments, historian David Brandenberger reveals the scope of Stalin's personal involvement in the textbook's development, documenting in unprecedented detail his plans for the transformation of Soviet society's historical imagination.
