Relatively new and increasingly popular in higher education are interdisciplinary programs that address questions of values. Both these elements characterize Graduate Liberal Studies Programs offering a Master's degree in liberal arts. Because the degree does not confine itself to the canons of a particular discipline and students enter this program with a variety of backgrounds, this book introduces the ways of learning, reading and writing that go on in the various liberal arts (history, philosophy, literature, art, etc.). A student does not read a poem in the same way he or she reads a Medieval Chronicle; why the difference? And how can we in some way synthesize these various approaches to knowledge and bring them all to bear on a subject, an issue, a question? This book tackles these and other challenges in graduate liberal education including the role of technology and the increase in multicultural, interdiscliplinary research, offering essays that discuss these changes with pragmatic recommendations. Contents: Humanities: Reading Theology, John F. Haught; Philosophy as a Mode of Liberal Learning, Jesse Mann; Teaching Literature in a Liberal Studies Program, Michael J. Collins; Seeing Art as Cultural Inquiry, Diane Apostolos-Cappadona; Understanding History, Phyllis O'Callaghan. Science, Technology and Social Science: Science, Technology, and Society, Thomas P.

What role did women's leadership play in the introduction and revival of the Montessori Method in America? Phyllis Povell explores this question through the contributions of Maria Montessori and Nancy McCormick Rambusch, who brought the Montessori Method to the American educational scene. Introduced to the U. S. in the early 20th century by Montessori herself, the Method lapsed into oblivion after WWI. Thanks to Rambusch, it was reborn after the launching of Sputnik. In Montessori Comes to America, Povell traces the evolution of women's leadership and its influence on the Montessori Method's development. She includes insights from her own formative years, showing how childhood, education and career all shape women into leaders. New research not only illuminates the unique roles of two historic early childhood educators, but also updates the historical record and reveals the human dimension behind one of the most colorful chapters in American educational development.

However, nutrition problems still occur, whether due to the quality of the medical foods, inadequate prescription by health care providers or poor diet adherence by the patient. This book describes these problems and helps medical food manufacturers, medical geneticists, nutritionists/dietitians, and other health care providers find alternative forms of nutrients that would provide optimal nutrition and health for the patients.

From the very beginning, Carmen Cicero made an impression in the art world. He joined the acclaimed Periodot Gallery on Madison Avenue in New York in 1957 and by 1965, Cicero had won two Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowships and a Ford Foundation prize, and was in important exhibitions at such venues as the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. After a fire destroyed his studio and a large body of his work in 1971, Cicero returned to figurative expressionism in the later 1970s before embarking on a new approach to his work in the late 1980s: A kind of expression difficult to define and variously termed by critics as "fantasy," "mystery," "surrealism" and "visionary." These works produce a peculiar atmosphere, a strange, enigmatic spell—images that linger in the unconscious mind. Filled with beautiful pieces—watercolors, paintings, drawings, and collages—this fine book offers an expansive survey of the life work of Carmen Cicero.
