Humanities Textbooks

Imagine adults who have not learned about history, civics, economics and geography while they were in elementary school. Imagine a future where our diverse heritage is not taught in schools. Where will we find ourselves if our diverse people do not find common ground? Well folks, this is happening today in the aftermath of No Child Left Behind.

Subject Restriction:

The attention to testing in our schools is creating an unintended consequence.  This phenomenon is called curriculum narrowing. In short, it is a change in focus from non-tested subjects such as the arts, PE, social studies and science to those that are heavily tested like reading, writing and math. 

Instead of providing more options for students, districts are narrowing what has always been important in education”to teach kids about the world they live in and their place in it. Cutting back time spent on social studies could have consequences we will regret later”like a lack of common background knowledge and vocabulary so essential to our living and working together in a democracy. 

If students of lower social-economic status are to have a base to succeed in a global economy, it is critical they receive the foundation taught through social studies in elementary school.  For those middle or upper class students, a limited program in school will most likely result in less experiential learning, with the outcome that these students become bored and uninterested in school at an early age. 

Unintended Consequences:

Many white middle to upper socio-economic class students are choosing to attend private or charter schools that continue to offer a strong curriculum in social studies and science courses, an unintended consequence of curriculum narrowing in the public schools.  This side-effect of curriculum narrowing may be one contributing factor in the re-emergence in our country of segregated urban public schools.

Public schools have a monumental opportunity to provide all students with an understanding of the value of their contribution to society and to their success in creating futures that they deem appropriate. Different cultures value different things, and success is relative to who we are as people. Still, building common ground is essential through the learning of social studies with peers in school.

Importance of Cultural Literacy:

A solid curriculum in social studies will result in cultural literacy.  Wikipedia defines cultural literacy as “the integrated study of the social sciences and humanities to promote civic competence (Wikipedia). Further,  (cultural literacy) is the study of how people participate in society and how society operates.  Through social inquiry children understand peoples role within society, according to Synapse Learning.

Academic achievement has an extremely high correlation to cultural literacy according to a research project conducted by E.D. Hirsch in 1996.  Further, annual income is a significant contributing factor to cultural literacy. 

Hirsch’s study further describes the theories of Thomas Jefferson, Horace Mann and John Dewey on the need for cultural literacy.  Specifically, Jefferson said, democracy required a common school to provide all children equally with the knowledge and skills that would keep them economically independent and free.

Building Background Knowledge and Vocabulary Essential to Successful Students:

According to psychological research, it is much easier to learn a new concept if you are able to connect that concept to something you already know.  Said another way, knowledge builds on knowledge. As upper and middle class students start school with a larger knowledge base than those in lower economic circumstances, low SES children are behind from the start.  Cutting social studies in schools will only add to the deficit in background knowledge and vocabulary.

The study of social studies is important because it should provides students with the knowledge they will need to live in our society. What could be more important than that? Yes, we need to know how to read, to write, and to do math! But, if we do not know how to live well in community with others, successfully within our society, where can we rightfully apply those skills?

Societal Significance:

Historically, has the white culture been successful in helping minority cultures to succeed in our country?  Unfortunately, not always! An excellent foundation for discussions about these struggles between race and diversity begins with a social studies curriculum.  It is critical to offer cultural and timely social studies programs with the goal of bridging the divides in our cultures through civics and history. Programs rich in discussions about current events are wonderful catalysts to building the needed understanding early.

Common understanding among the citizens of a country is the tie that will bind them together.  Social Studies is the avenue that can be used to create that understanding.  Reducing the social studies curriculum in our public schools will only lead to even more differences and misunderstandings among our citizens, particularly among the wealthy and lower classes.  Is that the right choice for our society?

The Making of the Humanities, Volume 1 $49.5 The first step towards the development of a comparative history of the humanities.

Beyond Textbooks $32 Technology is a key driver of educational innovation, and a variety of programmes focusing on investment in infrastructure, equipment, in-service training and digital learning resources have been established to promote its usage in primary and secondary schools. So far, little comparative analytical attention has been devoted to understanding how digital resources improve the quality of learning and to assessing the public policies that support their development and use, and the role played by other stakeholders like publishers, broadcasting companies and increasingly user communities. This publication aims to fill that gap by both reviewing and evaluating the process of systemic innovation. Drawing on case studies from five Nordic countries, the report assembles information on the knowledge bases and policy actors which impact each phase of this innovation process and the main factors which influence its success including governance, financing and user involvement.

A Time for the Humanities $22 This book brings together an international roster of renowned scholars from disciplines including philosophy, political theory, intellectual history, and literary studies to address the conceptual foundations of the humanities and the question of their future. What notions of the future, of the human, and of finitude underlie recurring anxieties about the humanities in our current geopolitical situation? How can we think about the unpredictable and unthought dimensions of praxis implicit in the very notion of futurity?The essays here argue that the uncertainty of the future represents both an opportunity for critical engagement and a matrix for invention. Broadly conceived, the notion of invention, or cultural poiesis, questions the key assumptions and tasks of a whole range of practices in the humanities, beginning with critique, artistic practices, and intellectual inquiry, and ending with technology, emancipatory politics, and ethics. The essays discuss a wide range of key figures (e.g., Deleuze, Freud, Lacan, Foucault, Kristeva, Irigaray), problems (e.g., becoming, kinship and the foreign, "disposable populations" within a global political economy, queerness and the death drive, the parapoetic, electronic textuality, invention and accountability, political and social reform in Latin America), disciplines and methodologies (philosophy, art and art history, visuality, political theory, criticism and critique, psychoanalysis, gender analysis, architecture, literature, art). The volume should be required reading for all who feel a deep commitment to the humanities, its practices, and its future.

Nature of Science in General Chemistry Textbooks $49.95 Research in science education has recognized the importance of history and philosophy of science (HPS). Nature of science (NOS) is considered to be an essential part of HPS with important implications for teaching science. The role played by textbooks in developing students' informed conceptions of NOS has been a source of considerable interest for science educators. In some parts of the world, textbooks become the curriculum and determine to a great extent what is taught and learned in the classroom. Given this background and interest, this monograph has evaluated NOS in university level general chemistry textbooks published in U.S.A. Most textbooks in this study provided little insight with respect to the nine criteria used for evaluating NOS. Some of the textbooks, however, inevitably refer to HPS and thus provide guidelines for future textbooks. A few of the textbooks go into considerable detail to present the atomic models of Dalton, Thomson, Rutherford, Bohr and wave mechanical to illustrate the tentative nature of scientific theories - an important NOS aspect. These results lead to the question: Are we teaching science as practiced by scientists?An answer to this question can help us to understand the importance of NOS, by providing students an HPS-based environment, so that they too (just like the scientists) feel the thrill and excitement of discovering new things. This monograph provides students and teachers guidelines for introducing various aspects of NOS, based on historical episodes.

Edward Watts offers a theory of region that argues for comparisons of the United States to other former colonies of Great Britain, including New Zealand, Australia, and Canada. Whether considering a writer's connection to region or the idea of place in exploring what is meant by regionalism, these essays uncover an enduring and evolving concept. Although the approaches and disciplines vary, all are framed within the fundamental premise of the humanities: the search to understand what it means to be human.

The Humanities and the Dream of America $22.5 In this bracing and original book, Geoffrey Galt Harpham argues that today’s humanities are an invention of the American academy in the years following World War II, when they were first conceived as an expression of American culture and an instrument of American national interests. The humanities portray a “dream of America” in two senses: they represent an aspiration of Americans since the first days of the Republic for a state so secure and prosperous that people could enjoy and appreciate culture for its own sake; and they embody in academic terms an idealized conception of the American national character.  Although they are struggling to retain their status in America, the concept of the humanities has spread to other parts of the world and remains one of America's most distinctive and valuable contributions to higher education.   The Humanities and the Dream of America explores a number of linked problems that have emerged in recent years: the role, at once inspiring and disturbing, played by philology in the formation of the humanities; the reasons for the humanities’ perpetual state of “crisis”; the shaping role of philanthropy in the humanities; and the new possibilities for literary study offered by the subject of pleasure. Framed by essays that draw on Harpham’s pedagogical experiences abroad and as a lecturer at the U.S. Air Force Academy, as well as his vantage as director of the National Humanities Center, this book provides an essential perspective on the history, ideology, and future of this important topic.

The Public Value of the Humanities $25.99 Recession is a time for asking fundamental questions about value. At a time when governments are being forced to make swingeing savings in public expenditure, why should they continue to invest public money funding research into ancient Greek tragedy, literary value, philosophical conundrums or the aesthetics of design? Does such research deliver 'value for money' and 'public benefit'? Such questions have become especially pertinent in the UK in recent years, in the context of the drive by government to instrumentalize research across the disciplines and the prominence of discussions about 'economic impact' and 'knowledge transfer'. In this book a group of distinguished humanities researchers, all working in Britain, but publishing research of international importance, reflect on the public value of their discipline, using particular research projects as case-studies. Their essays are passionate, sometimes polemical, often witty and consistently thought-provoking, covering a range of humanities disciplines from theology to architecture and from media studies to anthropology.

Getting Published in the Humanities $40 In academia, the mantra "publish or perish" is more than a cliche. In most humanities fields, securing tenure proves impossible without at least one book under your belt. Yet despite the obvious importance of academic publishing, the process remains an enigma to most young scholars. In this helpful guide, a seasoned author offers essential advice for novice academic writers seeking publication. He explains why not all publications are equal, why e-books are not as widely respected as printed books in the academic world, how to schedule publications prior to tenure, how to spot a publishable idea, how to approach the right publisher, and a host of other useful tips that greatly increase one's chances of publication. By outlining a step-by-step approach to publishing, this indispensable manual removes much of the mystery surrounding an essential component of an academic career.

The Western Humanities by Matthews, Roy Edition , 7 $49.49 Chronologically organized, The Western Humanities presents the cultural achievements of western civilization--art and architecture, music, history, literature, philosophy, theater, film and the other arts--within their historical context. By examining the historical and material conditions that influenced the form and content of the arts and humanities, the authors provide students with a clear framework, a deeper understanding of the meaning of cultural works, and a broader basis for analyzing and appreciating the cultural achievements of the West.

The New Humanities Reader, 2nd Edition $70.49 The New Humanities Reader presents 32 challenging and important essays from diverse fields that address current global issues.

The selections encourage students to synthesize and think critically about ideas and research formerly kept apart. This approach challenges readers to resist mimetic thinking and instead creatively connect ideas to help them understand and retain what they read. Through this process of reading, discussing, and writing, students develop the analytical skills necessary to become informed citizens. Focused on today's issues, the selections represent both well-known nonfiction authors and newly published writers and are drawn from such periodicals as The New Yorker and Natural History and from best-selling books including Reading Lolita in Tehran, Fast Food Nation, and Into the Wild. Students will be engaged by reading and rereading, analyzing and working with these selections not simply because they are models of good writing, but because they are also deeply thought-provoking pieces that invite readers to respond.

The Humanities and the Dream of America by Harpham, Geoffrey Galt Edition , 0 $44.49 In this bracing and original book, Geoffrey Galt Harpham argues that today’s humanities are an invention of the American academy in the years following World War II, when they were first conceived as an expression of American culture and an instrument of American national interests. The humanities portray a “dream of America” in two senses: they represent an aspiration of Americans since the first days of the Republic for a state so secure and prosperous that people could enjoy and appreciate culture for its own sake; and they embody in academic terms an idealized conception of the American national character.  Although they are struggling to retain their status in America, the concept of the humanities has spread to other parts of the world and remains one of America's most distinctive and valuable contributions to higher education.   The Humanities and the Dream of America explores a number of linked problems that have emerged in recent years: the role, at once inspiring and disturbing, played by philology in the formation of the humanities; the reasons for the humanities’ perpetual state of “crisis”; the shaping role of philanthropy in the humanities; and the new possibilities for literary study offered by the subject of pleasure. Framed by essays that draw on Harpham’s pedagogical experiences abroad and as a lecturer at the U.S. Air Force Academy, as well as his vantage as director of the National Humanities Center, this book provides an essential perspective on the history, ideology, and future of this important topic.

Truth in Science, the Humanities and Religion~ $139 What does 'truth' mean for philosophy or physics, for theology or biology, for sociology or history? We all have a concept of 'truth', but its interpretations are inevitably more than one. Here, the challenge of dialog often becomes the most difficult of all. The International Balzan Foundation is the Italian-Swiss institution which promotes culture, science and the cause of humanity through the Balzan Prizes. In addition, it fosters interdisciplinary debate by organizing Symposia, attended by Balzan Prizewinners and other scholars of the highest level. The 2008 Balzan Symposium focused on the core issue of any inquiry: 'Truth'. It was divided into five sessions (Philosophy; Mathematics, Physics and Cosmology; Biology, Biodiversity and Sustainability; History and the Social Sciences; Theology and Religion) to which speakers and panel members such as Simon Blackwell, Sir Keith Thomas, John Richard Krebs, Yuri Manin and Quentin Skinner attended. This book reports on the proceedings of the Symposium. It shows how, an interdisciplinary dialog on 'truth', can lead to a better mutual understanding of what are all too often seen as irreconcilable points of view.

This book introduces writings on the history and philosophy of surgery that previously appeared in the Journal of Investigative Surgery.

Progress and Values in the Humanities by Gay, Volney Edition ILL, 0 $30.99 Money and support tend to flow in the direction of economics, science, and other academic departments that demonstrate measurable progress. The humanities, on the other hand, offer more abstract and uncertain outcomes. A humanist's objects of study are more obscure in certain ways than pathogens and cells. Consequently, it seems as if the humanities never truly progress. Is this a fair assessment?By comparing objects of science, such as the brain, the galaxy, the amoeba, and the quark, with objects of humanistic inquiry, such as the poem, the photograph, the belief, and the philosophical concept, Volney Gay reestablishes a fundamental distinction between science and the humanities. He frees the latter from its pursuit of material-based progress and restores its disciplines to a place of privilege and respect. Using the metaphor of magnification, Gay shows that, while we can investigate natural objects to the limits of imaging capacity, magnifying cultural objects dissolves them into noise. In other words, cultural objects can be studied only within their contexts and through the prism of metaphor and narrative. Gathering examples from literature, art, film, philosophy, religion, science, and psychoanalysis, Gay builds a new justification for the humanities. By revealing the unseen and making abstract ideas tangible, the arts create meaningful wholes, which itself is a form of progress.

New Thinking in Complexity for the Social Sciences and Humanities $199 The underlying idea and motive for the book is that the notion of complexity may humanize the social sciences, may conceive the complex human being as more human, and turn reality as assumed in our doing social science into a more complex, that is a richer reality for all. The main focus of this book is on new thinking in complexity, with complexity to be taken as derived from the Latin word complexus: 'that which is interwoven.' The trans-disciplinary approach advocated here will be trans-disciplinary in two ways: firstly, by going beyond the separate disciplines within the fields of both natural sciences and social sciences, and, secondly, by going beyond the separate cultures of the natural sciences and of the social sciences and humanities.
