Edward L. Blackshear at Prairie View

Edward L. Blackshear at Prairie View

John A. Adams; John Sharp; Ronald E. Goodwin

TEXAS A M UNIVERSITY PRESS
2026

Many Texans will recognize schools and buildings across Texas bearing the name “Blackshear,” but few know the story of the man behind the name. Author John A. Adams Jr. seeks to rectify that in the first full-length biography of Edward L. Blackshear, bringing to light previously unexplored aspects of the life and work of a man Adams characterizes as “a pivotal leader, educator, strategist, essayist, poet, agriculturist, and advocate in the struggle to advance opportunities for Blacks across Texas in spite of a rigid, post-war white power structure.” Born to enslaved parents in 1862, Edward Lavoisier Blackshear seized every opportunity he had to learn, succeed, and raise others up with him as he became a leader and legislative activist for Black education in Texas. In a period deemed as the “New South” by historians, Blackshear distinguished himself as a foundational leader in Black education: teaching at historically Black schools and colleges in Dallas and Austin; serving as the supervisor of all African American schools in Austin; and appointed by Governor Charles Culberson as principal of what was then known as Prairie View Normal and Industrial College from 1896 to 1915. His tenure at Prairie View—now Prairie View A&M University—was characterized by leadership and wisdom during tumultuous times. He often worked quietly with Texas’s power brokers to ensure that the University received the necessary support. Adams’s research, focused on archival records and previously unpublished documents, reveals the lengths Blackshear went to help not just the students and faculty of Prairie View, but African Americans across Texas, succeed in a starkly segregated society. Students and scholars alike will be fascinated by this wealth of important material that expands our knowledge of this influential, yet heretofore scantly chronicled educational and social pioneer.

The Social Contract (Translated by G. D. H. Cole with an Introduction by Edward L. Walter)

The Social Contract (Translated by G. D. H. Cole with an Introduction by Edward L. Walter)

Jean-Jacques Rousseau

nidottu
Originally published in 1762, "The Social Contract" is Jean-Jacques Rousseau's treatise on how to best organize politics in the face of commercial society. Rousseau writes, "Man is born free; and everywhere he is in chains." This statement exemplifies the main dilemma of government, that despite mankind having an inherent natural right to freedom, modern, especially autocratic, governments had gone too far in restricting it. The question which Rousseau is asking within this work is whether or not there can be a legitimate political authority, for as he observed, those of his time seemed to put mankind worse off than they were living by the state of nature which existed before civilization. Arguing against the concept of divine right, Rousseau asserts that true sovereignty exists only amongst the people as a whole. By a mutual agreement to a universal social contract mankind can be free equally as each and everyone agrees collectively to how their rights may be abridged and what societal duty may be placed upon them. The ideas of the "The Social Contract" form the basis for all modern democracies, making it one of the most influential political treatises ever written. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and includes an introduction by Edward L. Walter.

Why We Do What We Do: Understanding Self-Motivation

Why We Do What We Do: Understanding Self-Motivation

Edward L. Deci; Richard Flaste

PENGUIN BOOKS
1996
nidottu
What motivates us as students, employees, and individuals? If you reward your children for doing their homework, they will usually respond by getting it done. But is this the most effective method of motivation? No, says psychologist Edward L. Deci, who challenges traditional thinking and shows that this method actually works against performance. The best way to motivate people--at school, at work, or at home--is to support their sense of autonomy. Explaining the reasons why a task is important and then allowing as much personal freedom as possible in carrying out the task will stimulate interest and commitment, and is a much more effective approach than the standard system of reward and punishment. We are all inherently interested in the world, argues Deci, so why not nurture that interest in each other? Instead of asking, "How can I motivate people?" we should be asking, "How can I create the conditions within which people will motivate themselves?""An insightful and provocative meditation on how people can become more genuinely engaged and succesful in pursuing their goals." --Publisher's Weekly
