Faith and Freedom

Faith and Freedom

David B. Burrell

Wiley-Blackwell (an imprint of John Wiley Sons Ltd)
2004
nidottu
FAITH AND FREEDOM In this book, David Burrell, one of the foremost philosophical theologians in the English-speaking world, presents the culmination of his work on creation and human freedom. Drawing on his philosophical and theological insights from the last twenty years, he develops an integrated argument with far-reaching consequences for capitalist cultures. Engaging with the Islamic, Judaic and Christian traditions, and with modern and pre-modern systems of thought, Burrell dismantles the ‘libertarian’ approach to freedom that dominates Western politics and economics, proposing that alongside freedom of choice we need freedom of consent. The author’s rigorous approach, wry humor and generous spirit are evident throughout.

The Press and the Suburbs

The Press and the Suburbs

David B. Sachsman

AldineTransaction
2013
nidottu
The changing economic and demographic patterns of the United States have many measurements; few of them, however, are more comprehensive than the new circulation realities of the press. This volume tells the story of the twenty-six daily newspapers of New Jersey from the 1960s to the 1980s and in so doing tells the story of the rise of suburbia and the golden age of suburban journalism. In an intense effort to keep pace with the changing location of their readers—and most particularly with the upscale consumers—the shift to the suburbs was marked by changes in news coverage, advertising, and promotion.Though people have predicted the decline of newspaper business for more than fifty years, they were proven wrong by the rise of the suburban press and by the survival of most newspapers, urban and suburban alike, through the 1980s and 1990s. But in the twenty-first century, the news and information industry has changed, and the national and international economy has faltered.In his new preface, David Sachsman takes the reader on a tour of what happened to each of the New Jersey daily newspapers since the publication of the original. The twenty-six newspapers studied have dwindled to sixteen, and huge losses in circulation have caused drastic cutbacks and mergers. The decline in New Jersey newspaper readership is part of a national trend. This is an essential book for all American historians, journalists, and communication specialists.

A Press Divided

A Press Divided

David B. Sachsman

AldineTransaction
2014
sidottu
A Press Divided provides new insights regarding the sharp political divisions that existed among the newspapers of the Civil War era. These newspapers were divided between North and South, and also divided within the North and South. These divisions reflected and exacerbated the conflicts in political thought that caused the Civil War and the political and ideological battles within the Union and the Confederacy about how to pursue the war. In the North, dissenting voices alarmed the Lincoln administration to such a degree that draconian measures were taken to suppress dissenting newspapers and editors, while in the South, the Confederate government held to its fundamental belief in freedom of speech and was more tolerant of political attacks in the press. This volume consists of eighteen chapters on subjects including newspaper coverage of the rise of Lincoln, press reports on George Armstrong Custer, Confederate women war correspondents, Civil War photojournalists, newspaper coverage of the Emancipation Proclamation, and the suppression of the dissident press. This book tells the story of a divided press before and during the Civil War, discussing the roles played by newspapers in splitting the nation, newspaper coverage of the war, and the responses by the Union and Confederate administrations to press criticism.

Serious Leisure

Serious Leisure

David.B Sachsman

AldineTransaction
2015
nidottu
Serious Leisure offers a comprehensive view and analysis of the current state of the sociology of leisure. Defining and differentiating the way people use their free time, Robert A. Stebbins divides such activity into categories of serious (skilled), casual (unskilled), and project-based (short-term) leisure that he further separates into a variety of types and subtypes. Together they comprise what he calls the "serious leisure perspective." Stebbins sets out the basic concepts that make up the three leisure forms, focusing on their essential elements.Stebbins sees "serious leisure" realized by way of a set of foundational concepts—organization, community, history, lifestyle, and culture. He reviews the history and background of the concept of serious leisure and follows up with historical commentary. Finally, he examines the future and the importance of the serious leisure perspective in a globalizing world, and some of its critical links with other fields of knowledge and practice, notably the nonprofit sector and preventive medicine.Serious Leisure is a coherent and comprehensive resource setting out the main parameters of what is now widely recognized as an interdisciplinary research area. It will be of interest to sociologists, labor studies specialists, and economists.

Strategies for Teaching Whole Number Computation

David B. Spangler

SAGE Publications Inc
2010
nidottu
This strategy book for primary maths teachers benefits students who are struggling with whole number computation in addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. By analyzing student work for error patterns-such as on a diagnostic test-and then providing timely, specific, and meaningful intervention, repetition of those errors can be decreased.Strategies for Teaching Whole Number Computation: Using Error Analysis for Intervention and Assessment provides a model of what can be used as part of a mathematics intervention programme. The material may be used by teachers as a programme to support direct classroom work with whole-number computation at whatever grade level intervention is needed to support these skills. By focusing on specific student error patterns and then providing pinpoint instruction based on sound pedagogical practices, this resource helps prevent as well as correct errors while providing guidance for teachers to teach in a meaningful way that promotes student understanding.The book provides four units: Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division of Whole Numbers. Each unit begins with a diagnostic test in multiple-choice format, followed by an item analysis table that keys student incorrect test responses to specific error patterns, and then provides a detailed section of error patterns with supporting intervention activities. The intervention activities are based on instructional practices supported by research as described in the book's research section.

The Way of Cain

The Way of Cain

DAVID B. HATHCOCK

AuthorHouse
2004
pokkari
Anna a "mill" village girl of northern Georgia hears the call of the "Holy Spirit" during the summer following her graduation from high school. Needless to say, this was almost unthinkable in the late 1930's; imagine, a young woman wanting to go into the missionary field by herself. First there is the problem of getting into a school which would train a young lady for this mission and then there are problems with a "certain" young man she met on the train as she journeyed to school. She finds too late "sex" and "love" are very separate objects to the male mind and pain replaces joy when you follow your heart instead of your head. Forced into a wedding she didn't really want, her honeymoon interrupted by WW11, and stranded on a deserted island after being shipwrecked during a violent storm are just some of the trails facing Anna. The story comes to a starling conclusion as Anna finds herself captured by a squad of German sailors who want to know the whereabouts of a secret microfilm placed in her care without her knowledge.Facing torture and the lusts of sailors who have been at sea "too" long are only part of the ordeals surfacing in this hot steamy island as another tropical storm threatens to destroy everything in it's path as God in his fury decides to put an end to this evil environment. Help comes in the form of cannibals as they overrun the island; but are they there to save Anna or is she to be part of their "dinner"? Only God in his wisdom can control these events and to place Anna where she is needed and where he wants her to do his work.
