E. A. Sutherland

Sinopse

In "Living Fountains or Broken Cisterns: An Educational Problem for Protestants," E. A. Sutherland presents a compelling examination of the intersection between education and faith within the Protestant tradition. Through a mix of historical analysis and practical critique, Sutherland articulates the prevailing challenges in Protestant education during the early twentieth century, arguing for a holistic approach that integrates spiritual growth and academic rigor. His literary style is both engaging and didactic, characterized by a passionate tone that seeks to inspire reform in both individual and institutional practices within Protestantism. E. A. Sutherland was an influential educator and theologian whose life-long commitment to reforming educational practices was shaped by his experiences in the early American educational landscape. His background in both teaching and curriculum development provided him with a unique perspective on the failings of contemporary educational systems, prompting him to advocate for a model that nurtures not only intellectual but also spiritual development in students. Sutherland's profound faith and dedication to the principles of Protestant education ultimately fueled the urgency of his message. This book is a critical resource for educators, theologians, and anyone invested in understanding the historical tensions between faith and education. Sutherland's insights remain relevant today, making it a vital read for those committed to fostering meaningful spiritual and academic environments.

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
In "Mindset: The New Psychology of Success," Carol S. Dweck explores the power of our mindset—our beliefs about our abilities—in shaping our lives. The book delves into the contrast between two mindsets: the fixed mindset, where individuals believe their abilities are innate and unchangeable, and the growth mindset, where individuals believe their abilities can be developed through dedication and hard work. Dweck argues that embracing a growth mindset is essential for achieving success in all areas of life, from academics and sports to business and relationships. She provides compelling examples and research to illustrate how a growth mindset can foster resilience, perseverance, and a love of learning. The book offers insights into how mindsets are formed, how they influence our behavior, and how we can cultivate a growth mindset to unlock our potential.

Contract Law for Business...

Shane Irvine

Contract Law for Business Professionals is from, The Executive Juris Doctor Desk Reference and was developed to meet the needs of those who seek to acquire a rudimentary understanding of the legal system, without necessarily being prepared to argue matters in a courtroom. This publication provides a quick rudimentary overview of the major doctrines of General Business Law. The major disciplines that make up the substantive law have been arranged in an order consistent with the traditional study of law. Getting a good grasp of the fundamental courses is vital to understanding the general principles of law and how the system of law interacts with business and society. 
Contract law is a conglomeration of international principles recognized, not just in the United States, but worldwide. Many of the cases cited are from other countries around the globe. Modern American jurisprudence is a culmination of legal systems found worldwide. Memorizing is not as helpful as understanding the basic principles of law. Taking notes and using those notes to develop an outline is standard practice for law students and helps to retain the information. One of the most important aspects of the study of law is to view both sides of a legal issue and be able to argue with either side.

Kathy Palokoff, Angela Marshall

Health-care providers and their patients are human, and all humans have unconscious biases that affect how we listen, observe, and act. Bias impacts patients when they are at their most vulnerable.

She offers a bold blueprint for change, filled with fresh solutions that can help everyone in our health-care system. 
 
 
 
Dismissed not only explains what so many people feel so profoundly—that the system is working against them. It also reveals what health-care practitioners, patients, and society in general can do to make it right.

How an Economy Grows and Why It...

Peter D. Schiff, Andrew J. Schiff

Straight answers to every question you've ever had about how the economy works and how it affects your life 
 
 
 
In this Collector's Edition of their celebrated How an Economy Grows and Why It Crashes, Peter Schiff, economic expert and bestselling author of Crash Proof and The Real Crash, once again teams up with his brother Andrew to spin a lively economic fable that untangles many of the fallacies preventing people from really understanding what drives an economy. The 2010 original has been described as a "Flintstones" take on economics that entertainingly explains the beauty of free markets. The new edition has been greatly expanded in both quantity and quality. A new introduction and two new chapters bring the story fully up to date. 
 
 
 
With the help of lively humor and deceptively simple storytelling, the Schiffs bring the complex subjects of inflation, monetary policy, recession, and other important topics in economics down to Earth. The story starts with three guys on an island who barely survive by fishing barehanded. Then one enterprising islander invents a net, catches more fish, and changes the island's economy fundamentally. Using this story the Schiffs apply their signature take-no-prisoners logic to expose the glaring fallacies and gaping holes permeating the global economic conversation.
