Sinossi

History of School Books explores how textbooks have shaped education, influenced learning, and mirrored societal values across time. It examines how the curriculum's development has been molded by these learning materials. Did you know textbooks weren't always standardized? The rise of uniform textbooks in the 19th century significantly impacted educational practices. Furthermore, these books are not neutral; they actively shape intellectual thought, challenging the idea of objective knowledge by revealing embedded biases and power dynamics.

 
The book approaches its subject chronologically, examining how educational philosophies and social contexts influenced textbooks' creation and reception through the ages, from ancient clay tablets to today's digital resources. It investigates the role of textbooks in promoting or challenging social inequality. The analysis is supported by primary source research, including historical textbooks, archival data, and educational policies, to offer a comprehensive understanding of the textbook’s impact on society.

    Toltec Empire - The Architects...

    The Toltec civilization emerged in central Mexico following the decline of Teotihuacan, one of the most powerful and influential cities of ancient Mesoamerica. With Teotihuacan’s fall around the 7th or 8th century, the region experienced a power vacuum, creating an opportunity for new societies to rise. Among them were the Toltecs, a people who would shape the political, military, and cultural landscape of Mesoamerica for centuries to come. 
    The origins of the Toltecs remain a subject of scholarly debate, but many sources trace their roots to northern Mexico, possibly the arid regions of modern-day Zacatecas or the deserts beyond. By the 10th century, they had established themselves in the Valley of Mexico, where they founded their capital, Tula. The early rulers of the Toltecs, including the semi-legendary Mixcoatl, are credited with uniting various groups under a centralized government and fostering a warrior-based society that would come to dominate the region. Mixcoatl's son, Ce Acatl Topiltzin Quetzalcoatl, is one of the most famous figures in Toltec history. Said to be both a king and a priest, he promoted the worship of Quetzalcoatl, the feathered serpent deity, and encouraged a cultural shift away from excessive militarism and human sacrifice. However, his reign was met with opposition from factions who favored more warlike practices, leading to his eventual exile. His departure, shrouded in myth, would later influence Aztec beliefs and the idea of a prophesied return. 
    Tula, the heart of the Toltec Empire, reflected the ambitions and architectural ingenuity of its people. Expanding over several square miles, the city featured impressive pyramids, colonnaded halls, and massive stone warriors that stood as sentinels over its ceremonial centers. The city's strategic location allowed the Toltecs to control trade networks that extended as far as the Yucatán Peninsula and beyond.

    Urban Sociology - A Global...

    Urban sociology is the study of social life, interactions, and institutions within cities and urban areas. As the global population continues to urbanize, understanding the social dynamics of cities has become increasingly important. Urban sociology examines how cities evolve, how people experience urban life, and how social, economic, and political forces shape urban environments. From towering metropolises to small urban centers, cities function as hubs of economic activity, cultural exchange, and political power. They also reflect and reinforce social inequalities, providing a unique lens through which to study contemporary social issues. 
    The development of urban sociology as a discipline emerged in response to the rapid urbanization of the 19th and 20th centuries. Industrialization transformed rural societies into urban ones, drawing millions of people into cities in search of economic opportunities. Early sociologists, such as Georg Simmel, studied how urban life altered human interactions, emphasizing the psychological impact of living in densely populated environments. The Chicago School of Sociology, led by scholars like Robert Park and Louis Wirth, further explored urban life by analyzing migration, social organization, and spatial patterns. Their work laid the foundation for modern urban sociology by introducing key concepts such as social ecology and urban subcultures.

    The book Coming Together provides hope and an action plan for us to work together and fix many of the problems in our country. 
    The U.S. used to provide affordable healthcare, and education. Our people supported workers' rights. We used to invest in our people. We are being told that we can't do those things, and gaslit into thinking that the crippling healthcare and educational debt being forced upon is our fault. 
    Too many times we have used fear to dehumanize people because of the color of their skin, or sexual preference. 
    Many of our politicians gain tremendous wealth and power by keeping us divided and hopeless. 
    We have fought hard to conquer these problems before, and we can do it again. We can work together towards a more honest and just society. We can repair the damage done to our society from the lies we have been told.

    No Room for Small Dreams -...

    Shimon Peres

    In 1934, eleven-year-old Shimon Peres emigrated to the land of Israel from his native Poland, leaving behind an extended family who would later be murdered in the Holocaust. Few back then would have predicted that this young man would eventually become one of the towering figures of the twentieth century. Peres would indeed go on to serve the new nation as prime minister, president, foreign minister, and the head of several other ministries. He was central to the establishment of the Israeli Defense Forces and the defense industry that would provide the young nation with a robust deterrent power. He was crucial to launching Israel’s nuclear energy program and to the creation of its high-tech “Start Up Nation” revolution. His refusal to surrender to conventional wisdom and political conventions helped save the Israeli economy and prompted some of the most daring military operations in history, among them the legendary Operation Entebbe. And yet, as important as his role in creating and deploying Israel’s armed forces was, his stunning transition from hawk to dove–with its accompanying unwavering commitment to peace–made him one of the globe’s most recognized, honored, and admired statesmen.  
    In this, his final work, finished only weeks before his passing, Peres offers a long-awaited examination of the crucial turning points in Israeli history through the prism of having been a decision maker and eyewitness. Told with the frankness of someone aware this would likely be his final statement, No Room for Small Dreams spans decades and events, but as much as it is about what happened, it is about why it happened. Examining pivotal moments in Israel’s rise, Peres explores what makes for a great leader, how to make hard choices in a climate of uncertainty and distress, the challenges of balancing principles with policies, and the liberating nature of imagination and unpredicted innovation. In doing so, he not only charts a better path forward for his beloved country but provides deep and universal wisdom for younger generations who seek to lead–be it in politics, business, or the broader service of making our planet a safer, more peaceful, and just place.
