The Well-Adjusted Child: The Social Benefits of Homeschooling

2007 y.
Publisher: Mapletree Publishing Company
Description: Socialization may well be the single most important aspect of education today. With high and rising rates of divorce, drug abuse, youth violence, alcoholism, teen promiscuity, and so forth, we cannot afford to let this issue go unexamined. To cling to the idea that what we, as a culture, are doing now is the right and best way for all children simply because it is what we are used to is to shut our eyes and minds to other possibilities possibilities that may well afford greater happiness, success, peace, and safety to our own children. At a time when people feel more disconnected than ever before, we cannot afford to overlook or allow ourselves to be blinded to an option which offers great benefits, including a rich, fulfilling, and healthy social life, that our children may well need for the future. Homeschooling offers great social benefits to kids and parents. And when we understand them, our children are the ones who will win. [detailed...]

The Well-Being of the Elderly in Asia: A Four-Country Comparative Study

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The past two decades have witnessed rapid social, economic, and demographic change in East and South-East Asia. The older populations in these regions have been increasing faster than in the West, and the proportions of people over sixty will more than double over the next thirty years. Increased urbanization and educational levels and a strong shift to professional, technical, manufacturing, and service occupations are changing the social and economic landscape, leading to concern for the well-being of the elderly, who traditionally have relied on the family for support. Governments are attempting to preserve these traditions while taking into account widespread family change and new expectations for pension, health insurance, and other public programs. The contributors to this volume use survey and other data collected over ten years to examine the well-being of the current older population in four Asian countries: The Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, and… [detailed...]

The Well-Dressed Ape: A Natural History of Myself

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The well-dressed ape, aka Homo sapiens, is a strange mammal. It mates remarkably often, and with unprecedented affection. With similar enthusiasm, it will eat to the point of undermining its own health–behavior unthinkable in wild animals. The human marks its territory with doors, fences, and plastic flamingos, yet if it’s too isolated it becomes depressed. It thinks of itself as complex, intelligent, and in every way superior to other animals–but is it, really?With wit, humility, and penetrating insight, science journalist Hannah Holmes casts the inquisitive eye of a trained researcher and reporter on . . . herself. And not just herself, but on our whole species–what Shakespeare called “the paragon of animals.” In this surprising, humorous, and edifying book, Holmes explores how the human animal–the eponymous well-dressed ape–fits into the natural world, even as we humans change that world in both constructive and destructive ways.Comparing and contrasting the biology and behavior of… [detailed...]

David Watts
The West Indies: Patterns of Development, Culture, and Environmental Change Since 1492 (Cambridge Studies in Historical Geography, 8)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This magisterial survey of the historical geography of the West Indies is at bottom concerned with the causes and consequences of three complex and inter-related phenomena: the rapid and total removal of a large aboriginal population, the development of plantation agriculture and the arrival of enforced labour, in the form of many thousands of African slaves, and the environmental, ecological and cultural changes that resulted. Dr Watts shows how the initial European vision of a land of plenty has been replaced by an awareness of the geographic and ecological fragiliaty of the area, and explains how the exploitative agricultural systems of the colonial and recent West Indies have not adjusted to the demands of the environment. An enormous array of historical, biological and literary sources are marshalled in support of Dr Watts` analysis, which is likely to remain the standard work on the subject for many years to come.

The West and Islam Religion and Political Thought in World History

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This comparative history of political thought examines what the Western and Islamic approaches to politics had in common and where they diverged. The book considers how various ancient and medieval thought-patterns did or did not lead to modern developments, and how sacred monarchy, the legitimacy of the state, and the role of the people were looked upon in each culture. The author focuses on the period from the rise of Islam to the European Reformation, but his analysis extends to the main genres of political thought up to the present. He argues that until the mid-eleventh century, Europe, Islam, and the Byzantine world had more in common than is commonly thought. What made the West different was the papal revolution of the late eleventh century, Europe`s twelfth-century `renaissance`, and the gradual secularization of political thought which followed. At the same time, Islam, after an early blossoming, interpreted its own revelation more and more narrowly. This volume throws light… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: This comprehensive survey of the nature of the relationship between the Western countries and the Third World, and the debate over its effects, during the twentieth century matches development theory with wide-ranging evidence on the consequences of global integration. The book is divided into four parts. The first section surveys the debate that began in the eighteenth century over the question of whether Third World countries benefited or suffered from gradual integration into a single world economic system. The book examines the position adopted by `optimists` from Adam Smith to the World Bank, and that of `pessimists` from early critics of colonialism to present-day dependency theorists. Parts Two and Three concentrate on the nature and effects of colonialism before the 1960s. Part Four concentrates on the post-colonial era. The author examines the importance of major post-World War II developments - aid and investment - for Third World countries and provides case studies to… [detailed...]

The Western Film Review : A Second Look At Some Popular Western Movies (N)

Description: Book DescriptionWith this collection of reviews, fans of western movies can enjoy taking another special look at some of our favorites with western author Chuck Lewis as he offers us insight and a unique view of the films we like or even those we don`t like. We might remember some of them with a nostalgia that doesn`t match up with what the movie was all about. We think we know the stories, or what a good job of acting our heroes did, or perhaps gave no thought to the symbolism of the roles they played, but maybe Chuck can suggest something different. The storylines of these movies are told here in detail and interspersed with appropriate and interesting observations. You will definitely learn while being entertained. Most of these reviews are written with Chuck`s subtle sense of humor, but all are informative and surprising at times. They offer interesting facts that never occurred to us when we first saw the movie, but all are honestly assessed with a bite… [detailed...]
