Описание: Why higher education in the United States has lost its way, and how universities and colleges can focus sharply on their core mission. For The Real World of College, Wendy Fischman and Howard Gardner analyzed in-depth interviews with more than 2,000 students, alumni, faculty, administrators, parents, trustees, and others, which were conducted at ten institutions ranging from highly selective liberal arts colleges to less selective state schools. What they found challenged characterizations in the media: students are not preoccupied by political correctness, free speech, or even the cost of college. They are most concerned about their GPA and their resumes; they see jobs and earning potential as more important than learning. Many say they face mental health challenges, fear that they don't belong, and feel a deep sense of alienation. Given this daily reality for students, has higher education lost its way? Fischman and Gardner contend that US universities and colleges must focus sharply on their core educational mission. Fischman and Gardner, both recognized authorities on education and learning, argue that higher education in the United States has lost sight of its principal reason for existing: not vocational training, not the provision of campus amenities, but to increase what Fischman and Gardner call "higher education capital"--to help students think well and broadly, express themselves clearly, explore new areas, and be open to possible transformations. Fischman and Gardner offer cogent recommendations for how every college can become a community of learners who are open to change as thinkers, citizens, and human beings.

Описание: The Last Post is a historical war novel told from the perspective of three men who fought in three different wars - the Second World War, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. Through these three men the reader experiences the glory and the horror of three major battles - the Flying Fortress bombing raids against Germany and Berlin, the retreat from the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea by twenty five thousand Marines who had to battle their way home in sub-zero weather while being surrounded by over two hundred thousand Chinese, and the covert battles fought "over the fence" in Laos by the Special Forces SOAG units attacking the Ho Chi Minh Trail.The three main characters of the story are a microcosm of America and reflect in their day to day lives how we find meaning and value amidst the pathologies that we all suffer from as a result of the wars we have fought in our quest for historical greatness. The Last Post is a thrilling, thought provoking journey through the Either/Or of Love and War, Good and Evil, and Light and Darkness. In its quest for the immortal in the mundane, the novel reflects the mysteries of the human spirit in all its multiplicity, haunting shadows, and the undefinable darkness from which the story emerges, leaving us to wonder as one of the main characters in the story wonders when he says, "What have we done to deserve this?"
