A history of mainline Protestant responses to immigrants and refugees during the twentieth century Open Hearts, Closed Doors uncovers the largely overlooked role that liberal Protestants played in fostering cultural diversity in America and pushing for new immigration laws during the forty years following the passage of the restrictive Immigration Act of 1924. These efforts resulted in the complete reshaping of the US cultural and religious landscape.
During this period, mainline Protestants contributed to the national debate over immigration policy and joined the charge for immigration reform, advocating for a more diverse pool of newcomers. They were successful in their efforts, and in 1965 the quota system based on race and national origin was abolished. But their activism had unintended consequences, because the liberal immigration policies they supported helped to end over three centuries of white Protestant dominance in American society.
Yet, Pruitt argues, in losing their cultural supremacy, mainline Protestants were able to reassess their mission. They rolled back more strident forms of xenophobia, substantively altering the face of mainline Protestantism and laying foundations for their responses to today’s immigration debates. More than just a historical portrait, this volume is a timely reminder of the power of religious influence in political matters.

The Nalanda University in India lasted from 4 BC to 1132 AD, was in its time, the first premier learning institute of the world for a full 800 years. At its peak, its knowledge was stored in scrolls and parchments in 3 pyramid like libraries as high as a 12 storeyed building. Central to its running, were thousands of students who were taught freely by academic monks who specialized in logic, debate and philosophy. This meant that the knowledge of Nalanda travelled far and wide--establishing itself on foreign soils with exciting new areas of work. Core principles remain unchanged. Whereas academic research took new and exciting directions.
Why is all of this very important to our world today? As the world moves into the world of artificial intelligence and machine learning, human intelligence needs to be introduced to the world's first reasoning and logic systems. Nalanda can help you achieve that. And through this knowledge, you will understand how to set up a self-learning organization. That is the upward spiral of knowledge needs to sit within the human mind, so that we all learn how to process the terabytes of knowledge that flash past our senses to envision and make the right decisions.
Welcome to the future of the self-learning organization. Although what you see does not matter, how you see things make the difference. This is best illustrated through the simple analogy of a half watered glass. To different people, it appears to be half-full or half-empty. It is the individual who decides how it would be.

Описание: "The Feeling" is a unique work of non-fiction representing the exposure of a secretive narrative that has been waiting in the wings for 30 years. It tells the story of Rachel and Michael Sanders, a couple living a suburban New York lifestyle in the 70s, appearing to be "The Brady bunch," but behind closed doors is anything but that. Michaels remorseless cheating interludes are linked to his unceasing anger and volatile moods. Rachel unlocks her husbands illicit affair, but her prime concern is to guard this secret, as she presumes, it is HER humiliation. It was a time when womens voices were hushed. Her spot-on "Pearl Harbor" attack directed to his mistress is boldly manipulative. Elements intriguing the reader are not limited to anger turning to rage, fear, deceitful cheating, sex, family, manipulation, and losses. What has the appearance of a normal family to others, is in no way the case. The story is an in-depth exploration of how feelings, simple or complex, acted upon or not, can change lifes outcome for a family. "The Feeling" is not your usual story of, "Boy meets girl, girl marries boy, boy cheats on girl," and so forth. The odd behavioral pattern in Michaels personality constructs a narrative not to be confused with ordinary. In addition, Rachels all-important feelings mature and ultimately reach an explosive point. This is the true study of Rachels ability to progress in life. It is feelings that promote actions, and actions that have consequences. Primarily, it is the unspoken feeling, the one that clearly tells you deep down, that all is not well that prompted the title.

Renew your FAITH in Joseph Smith, the Book of Mormon, and the Restoration-and better understand the TRUE HISTORY behind why so many are now suffering from a crisis of faith.
During the 20th century, an organized objective to rewrite Latter-day Saint history from within, unbeknownst to the general Church membership, went head to head behind the scenes with traditional leaders of the Church. Meet the main players of this conflict: Leonard Arrington-progressive "Father of New Mormon History," Ezra Taft Benson-traditionalist defender, and many other advocates of traditionalist and progressive Latter-day Saint history.
As traditionalists and progressives sparred during the 1970s-1980s, a covert cold war commenced in Salt Lake City, Utah, with the progressives spying on the traditionalists, and the traditionalists spying on the progressives. Secret informants, leaked documents, falsified reports, and even employed pseudonyms-all were part of this struggle to dominate Latter-day Saint history. But how did, and does, this secret conflict affect you? Progressives, working in the Church History Department and at Brigham Young University, claimed 40 years ago that it would take a generation to re-educate the Church. Where are we now in that re-education?

Описание: The present volume is timely not only because it models creative and effective strategies to advance both open education and information literacy, but especially because it poses critical questions and urges practitioners to go well beyond questions of access to and the use of information. It demands reflection on what is being accessed (and what is not), who is gaining access (and who is not), who is providing access (and who is not), and what the goal is of this access (and what lies beyond access).—from the Foreword by Rajiv S. Jhangiani Information literacy skills are key when finding, using, adapting, and producing open educational resources (OER). Educators who wish to include OER for their students need to be able to find these resources and use them according to their permissions. When open pedagogical methods are employed, students need to be able to use information literacy skills as they compile, reuse, and create open resources.Intersections of Open Educational Resources and Information Literacy captures current open education and information literacy theory and practice and provides inspiration for the future. Chapters include practical applications, theoretical musings, literature reviews, and case studies and discuss social justice issues, collaboration, open pedagogy, training, and advocacy. The book is divided into six parts: FoundationsTeaching Info Lit with OERLibrarian Support of Open Pedagogy/OERSocial Justice/Untold StoriesStudent AdvocacySpreading the Love: Training Future Advocates and Practitioners Chapters cover topics including library-led OER creation; digital cultural heritage and the intersections of primary source literacy and information literacy; situated learning and open pedagogy; critical librarianship and open education; and developing student OER leaders.Intersections of Open Educational Resources and Information Literacy—which went through an open peer review process—informs and inspires on OER, info lit, and their many iterative convergences.
