Описание: This volume brings out the varieties of forms of philosophical skepticism that have continued to preoccupy philosophers for the past of couple of centuries, as well as the specific varieties of philosophical response that these have engendered — above all, in the work of those who have sought to take their cue from Kant, Wittgenstein, or Cavell — and to illuminate how these philosophical approaches are related to and bear upon one another. The philosophers brought together in this volume are united by the thought that a proper appreciation of the depth of the skeptical challenge must reveal it to be deeply disquieting, in the sense that skepticism threatens not just some set of theoretical commitments, but also-and fundamentally-our very sense of self, world, and other. Second, that skepticism is the proper starting point for any serious attempt to make sense of what philosophy is, and to gauge the prospects of philosophical progress.

Описание: From award-winning chef and Food Network personality Scott Conant, a cookbook of restaurant-quality Italian meals that you can make easily in your home kitchen Thirty-five years into an illustrious career of restaurant openings across the country, widespread acclaim, and frequent appearances on the Food Network's Chopped and many other shows, Scott Conant has returned home to create his most personal cookbook yet. Meals cooked from simple, fresh ingredients were staples of Conant's childhood in a New England family with roots in Southern Italy. From his grandparents' garden to the dinner table, he learned early on to appreciate the nuances of different flavors and ingredients, and the strong connection between food and family. Focusing on these foods Conant grew up with and the ones he makes for his loved ones today, Peace, Love, and Pasta compiles simple, fresh, and flavorful Italian recipes for the home cook to bring to their own family's table. These recipes are built on the art of cooking for love, fascination with flavors and ingredients, and the simple pleasures of taste and conviviality.

Автор: Wayne J. Urban Название: Scholarly Leadership in Higher Education: An Intellectual History of James Bryan Conant ISBN: 1350210579 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781350210578 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 33780.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Urban provides an intellectual history of Harvard presidency of James Bryant Conant (1933-1953), situating it within the broader international landscape and drawing out the implication for the current state of higher education with reference to specific leadership policy issues in the sector. Throughout this volume, Urban explores the ways in which Conant achieved largely successful attempts to modernize Harvard by upgrading both its student body and its faculty. He explores the intellectual excellence agenda that Conant pursued both with students and academics, and the ramifications of this. He also considers the nature of Conant’s part-time handling of the role of president, the way he delegated campus control to his Provost, Paul Buck, and the ways the two operated together and separately. Urban also looks at Conant’s own intellectual breadth, as scientist and humanist, which showed itself prominently in his activities in pursuit of general education reform. Conant’s combination of intellect and agenda was unusual for a president in his own time, and is exceedingly rare, if not completely missing, in contemporary university presidencies. In exploring this innovative president’s time in office at Harvard, Urban offers pertinent ideas to today’s leaders of higher education.

Автор: Strachan Sandra Conant Название: Balancing ACT: Strategies for Successful Aging ISBN: 1483483193 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781483483191 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 13030.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: Balancing Act: Strategies for Successful Aging is written for the old, older, and oldest among us, as well as for the families and friends who are caring for them. To grow old is one experience and to care for an aging loved one is yet another, each with its own challenges and opportunities. As an older woman and a daughter whose mother died at 99, I speak with both voices and borrow freely from the poetry and wisdom of many others who are addressing the same issues. I want to offer hope, ideas, and encouragement to everyone in both of those groups. Successful aging is a dynamic, difficult journey, but rich and rewarding when done well. The photo on the cover is my favorite painting from a 2006 series I called "Windows to the Soul." I love this old woman's eyes, still twinkling and alive with anticipation, unfazed by her wrinkles. I love the peace she manifests in her personal balancing act. This is who I want to be as I age, and also what I hope for others.
