A Tale of Two Cultures

A Tale of Two Cultures

Gary Goertz; James Mahoney

Princeton University Press

Some in the social sciences argue that the same logic applies to both qualitative and quantitative methods. In A Tale of Two Cultures, Gary Goertz and James Mahoney demonstrate that these two paradigms constitute different cultures, each internally coherent yet marked by contrasting norms, practices, and toolkits. They identify and discuss major differences between these two traditions that touch nearly every aspect of social science research, including design, goals, causal effects and models, concepts and measurement, data analysis, and case selection. Although focused on the differences between qualitative and quantitative research, Goertz and Mahoney also seek to promote toleration, exchange, and learning by enabling scholars to think beyond their own culture and see an alternative scientific worldview. This book is written in an easily accessible style and features a host of real-world examples to illustrate methodological points.
Data-Driven Decisions and School Leadership

Data-Driven Decisions and School Leadership

Theodore Kowalski; Thomas Lasley; James Mahoney

Pearson
2007

The book provides a unique contribution to the literature in this field in that the studies of decision theory and data-based decision making are integrated. Focusing on educators assuming leadership roles in school improvement, the book’s content is equally relevant for administrators, supervisors, and teachers. The book, however, is centered on data-driven decision making, both as a requirement of the No Child Left Behind Act and as a normative professional standard. Issues related to accumulating, storing, and protecting data in districts and schools also are covered. Applications in administration, supervision, and teaching are demonstrated.

Billy Boyle, World War II US Army detective and ex-Boston cop, faces his toughest investigation yet: infiltrating enemy lines in France as the Allies invade Normandy. May 1944: Captain Billy Boyle is convicted on spurious charges of black market dealings stripped of his officer's rank, reduced to private, and sentenced to three months' hard labor. But Billy is given an opportunity: if he takes on the incredibly dangerous mission of investigating a set of murders at the Allies' safe house in the French town of Chaumont, he can avoid his punishment. Parachuted in as part of a three-man team the night before the Normandy invasion, he has very little time to find the killer's identity and lead a group escape back to England, with a whole army of foes nipping at his heels.

This work includes a thorough history of this frontier congregation that began worshiping there in 1798, and originally known as Tent Church and Tent Hall (because they worshipped in a tent). Located very near the Ohio border, the Mahoning Church has been in continuous operation for over 220 years Originally formed as an Associate Presbyterian, the book follows the congregation's journey through various denominations over its long history. The compilation follows the lives of its preachers and congregants. Extensively sourced, it also contains historical church records of baptisms from the early 1800s, and burials in the adjacent cemetery from 1811. The cemetery was first referred to as McBride's Hill and Tent Hall and is the final resting place for at least four Revolutionary War Soldiers. A beautifully written memoir of Daisy Crespi, a student from the old Tent Hall School, also forms a part of this comprehensive work. The old Tent Hall School, established around 1808, stood for years on the church property and photos of various classes are included. A must for any genealogist researching early Mercer County and Lawrence County, Pennsylvania ancestors, as well as those in neighboring Lowellville and Poland, OH.
