The Amateur Hour - A History of...

Jonathan Zimmerman

American college teaching is in crisis, or so we are told. But we've heard that complaint for the past 150 years, as critics have denounced the poor quality of instruction in undergraduate classrooms. Students daydream in gigantic lecture halls while a professor drones on, or they meet with a teaching assistant for an hour of aimless discussion. The modern university does not reward teaching, so faculty members at every level neglect it in favor of research and publication. In the first book-length history of American college teaching, Jonathan Zimmerman confirms but also contradicts these perennial complaints. Drawing upon a wide range of previously unexamined sources, The Amateur Hour shows how generations of undergraduates indicted the weak instruction they received. But Zimmerman also chronicles institutional efforts to improve it, especially by making teaching more "personal." As higher education grew into a gigantic industry, he writes, American colleges and universities introduced small-group activities and other reforms designed to counter the anonymity of mass instruction. They also experimented with new technologies like television and computers, which promised to "personalize" teaching by tailoring it to the individual interests and abilities of each student.But, Zimmerman reveals, the emphasis on the personal inhibited the professionalization of college teaching, which remains, ultimately, an amateur enterprise. The more that Americans treated teaching as a highly personal endeavor, dependent on the idiosyncrasies of the instructor, the less they could develop shared standards for it. Nor have they rigorously documented college instruction, a highly public activity which has taken place mostly in private. Pushing open the classroom door, The Amateur Hour illuminates American college teaching and frames a fresh case for restoring intimate learning communities, especially for America's least privileged students. Anyone who wants to change college teaching will have to start here.

Dr. Kami Hoss

It's been right under your nose this whole time—literally. 
 
 
 
Your mouth is the gateway to your body and is the most critical organ for improving your health, from childhood onward. Your mouth is a window into the health of your body as a whole; from its microbiome to its structure, it impacts your physical and mental wellness in countless ways. 
 
   
  
Unfortunately, the mouth-body connection has been largely neglected by American medicine . . . until now. 
 
 
  
In this groundbreaking work, Dr. Hoss connects the dots between oral health and whole-body health, offering a roadmap to a longer, more successful future for you and your family. 
 
  
  
This isn't a book about brushing and flossing—or any of the advice you get from your dentist. Instead, you'll hear about how to protect your mouth's microbiome, the effect of diet, the relationship between oral structure and sleep problems, how to breathe better, and more.

On the Genealogy of Morality

Friedrich Nietzsche

In 1887, with the perspective on enhancing and finishing specific new tenets which he had simply outlined in Past Great and Fiendishness (see particularly Axiom 260), Nietzsche distributed The Parentage of Ethics. This work is maybe the most un-aphoristic, in structure, of every one of Nietzsche's creations. For scientific influence, all the more particularly in those parts where Nietzsche analyzes the austere ideal, The Lineage of Ethics is unmatched by some other of his works; and, in the light which it tosses upon the mentality of the ecclesiast to the man of disdain and mishap, it is one of the most important commitments to sacerdotal brain science 
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German rationalist, social pundit and philologist whose work has applied a significant impact on current scholarly history. He started his vocation as a traditional philologist prior to going to theory.

Human-Centered Leadership in...

Susan Campis, Lucy Leclerc, Kay...

Human-Centered Leadership in Healthcare is a new leadership model based on the theory of complex systems. 
 
 
 
It addresses the requirement for healthcare organizations to develop environments that produce market leading outcomes which demonstrate value for patients. Since healthcare is a human-centric industry, it requires care for the leaders, the staff, and the patients. The Human-Centered Leadership model embraces the leader's focus on self-care and mindfulness while simultaneously focusing outward on others. The leader, at the center, adopts the attributes of the Awakener, the Connector, and the Upholder which result in practices leading to sustained quality outcomes, patient, and staff satisfaction, and a healthy work environment. These practices and outcomes can be described as cultures of excellence, trust, and caring. The Human-Centered Leader in Healthcare understands that "It starts with you but it's not about you". Kay Kennedy, Lucy Leclerc, and Susan P. Campis's goal for Human-Centered Leadership in Healthcare is to develop the people who lead the people who care for the people.
