Описание: Excerpt from Motley's Correspondence During the war, this quality of his mind was exaggerated almost to a bitter intolerance of anything which was associated, or any one who sympathized with, the cause of the South. In that great constitutional convulsion, he could discern nothing but the deadly struggle between the advocates and the oppo neuts of slavery; all the minor issues, which at the time blurred the vision even of his own countrymen, were to him as nothing in view of 'the great national disgrace of slavery.' It will be seen, later on, that the divergence of opinion between himself and his own father, on this point, was so great as to form a barrier in their familiar intercourse. But no point in his character is more evident, in every page of his correspondence, than his strong affection and power of sympathy. Though so Oppressed by a constitutional melancholy, which grows upon me very rapidly, as to be almost incapacitated from making myself agreeable, ' we find even at times when his inmost feelings were stirred, and in the letters where he gives most strong expression to those feelings, some touch, of playful humour or some grotesque allusion, which shows how near the surface was his kindlier and gentler disposition. His letters to his wife during the months of May, J une, and July, 1858, are a sparkling comment on London society; to summarize them would be impossible, we can but give a few extracts taken almost at random from this brilliant panorama.

The future of liberal education in the United States, in its current form, is fraught but full of possibility. Today's institutions are struggling to maintain viability, sustain revenue, and assert value in the face of rising costs. But we should not abandon the model of pragmatic liberal learning that has made America's colleges and universities the envy of the world. Instead, Redesigning Liberal Education argues, we owe it to students to reform liberal education in ways that put broad and measurable student learning as the highest priority.
Written by experts in higher education, the book is organized into two sections. The first section focuses on innovations at 13 institutions: Brown University, College of the Holy Cross, Connecticut College, Elon University, Florida International University, George Mason University, Georgetown University, Lasell College, Northeastern University, Rollins College, Smith College, Susquehanna University, and the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Chapters about these institutions consider the vast spectrum of opportunities and challenges currently faced by students, faculty, staff, and administrators, while also offering "radical visions" of the future of liberal education in the United States. Accompanying vision chapters written by some of the foremost leaders in higher education touch on a wide array of subjects and themes, from artificial intelligence and machines to the role that human dispositions, mindsets, resilience, and time play in how we guide students to ideas for bringing playful concepts of creativity and openness into our work.
Ultimately, Redesigning Liberal Education reveals how humanizing forces, including critical thinking, collaboration, cross-cultural competencies, resilience, and empathy, can help drive our world. This uplifting collection is a celebration of the innovative work being done to achieve the promise of a valuable, engaging, and practical undergraduate liberal education.

Motley Junior High: School for the Psychically and Celestially Gifted Terms of Enrollment Signed: Ebony Charmed
Ebony should be excited about entering sixth grade to further develop her skills. And she would be. If only her lame abilities let her see more than three ghosts.
Struggling to live up to her gifted family, Ebony is horrified when she is branded a Seeker: someone who is neither Sensory nor Luminary. To top it off, her Deadly Creatures and Relics project - transforming a measly stick - seems destined for failure.
But there are doors to other worlds where creatures have been watching her. And when the truth emerges that her project is more than a stick, she knows she must act.
Along with her best friend Fleishman and his pet lizard, Ebony finds herself wedged between prophecies and quests. Oh, and saving the entire spirit world from annihilation.
Ebony is not ready to be a hero. But a dark presence has already stolen more than one local kid. And this time, her failure is not an option.

Описание: This is a true story about the author's grandchildren. They had had a tough start to the school year. Sparkles had found school to be fun, and she learns fast. Quinkleton, on the other hand, has to really concentrate and work hard to do his schoolwork. It doesn't always come easy. He needs room to breathe and quiet so he can concentrate. This day was a special day because their mom had been promising them a great surprise if they both did all their homework for that semester. Both of the children loved to read. They loved the stories from the Bible. Their mother read every night to them. This day was so different. Quinkleton was totally out of character. Sparkles was teasing him nonstop. When one emotion hits the other, you can guess what happened. It was an explosion of emotion. Now after all the yelling, would they still get that special surprise? This was the question on Quinkleton's mind. And if they got it, when would his mother give it to them? Their mother had to explain to them everything that happened and why it shouldn't have happened. It seemed hopeless for that surprise. But their mother surprised them after all. It may have started out a bad day for Quinkleton and Sparkles, but the night ended a great one.
