Summary

Schooling Origins examines the history of education, tracing its path from informal knowledge transmission to formal educational systems. It highlights the cultural, social, and political forces that have shaped how we learn. The book explores how ancient societies approached learning, noting that before formal schools, knowledge was passed down through families, apprenticeships, and religious institutions. Early philosophical ideas, particularly from ancient Greece and Rome, laid the foundation for later educational theories. The book emphasizes that formal education is not static but evolves with societal values and needs. As societies grew complex, the need for standardized knowledge led to formal schooling.

 
Schooling Origins explores the development of structured curricula, analyzing the emergence of subjects like mathematics, rhetoric, and literature, and how they were standardized. The book also examines how social and political changes, such as the rise of nation-states and industrialization, have shaped educational goals and practices. The book begins by exploring pre-formal education and then progresses into the development of structured curricula and the influence of social and political changes, providing a comprehensive historical overview and making it valuable for students of education, history, and sociology, as well as educators and policymakers.

    The Colonial Wars 1689-1762

    Although the colonial wars consisted of almost continuous raids and skirmishes between the English and French colonists and their Indian allies and enemies, they can be separated into four major conflicts, corresponding to four European wars of which they were, in varying degrees, a part: King William’s War (1689-97) (War of the League of Augsburg); Queen Anne’s War (1702-13) (War of the Spanish Succession); King George’s War (1744-48) (War of the Austrian Succession); and The French and Indian War (1755-62) (Seven Years’ War).
 
Howard Peckham chronicles the events of these wars, summarizing the struggle for empire in America among France, England, and Spain. He indicates how the colonists applied the experience they gained from fighting Indians to their engagements with European powers. And what they learned from the colonial wars they translated into a political philosophy that led to independence and self-government.
 
The ready involvement of the colonies in European ambitions, the success and failure of co-operation between colony and mother country, the efforts of the English colonies together, and the growing differences between them and Britain give the narrative continuity and rising excitement.

    What should teachers do on the days after major events, tragedies, and traumas, especially when injustice is involved? This beautifully written book features teacher narratives and youth-authored student spotlights that reveal what classrooms do and can look like in the wake of these critical moments. Dunn incisively argues for the importance of equitable commitments, humanizing dialogue, sociopolitical awareness, and a rejection of so-called pedagogical neutrality across all grade levels and content areas. Teaching on Days After can be used to support current classroom teachers and to better structure teacher education to help preservice teachers think ahead to their future classrooms. 
 
 
 
Book Features: 
 
 
 
● Narratives from teachers and students that represent a diverse range of identities, locations, grade levels, and content areas. 
 
 
 
● Examples of days after that teachers remember, including 9/11, elections, natural disasters, gun violence, police brutality, social uprisings, Supreme Court decisions, immigration policies, and more. 
 
 
 
● Examples of days after that K–12 and college-aged students remember, including what their teachers did and didn't do.

    In Food, John Coveney examines "food as . . . " identity, politics, industry, regulation, the environment, justice, and gastronomy. He explores how food helps us understand what it means to be human. 
 
 
 
The centrality of food in life, and the importance of food as life, is undeniable. As a source of biological substrates, personal pleasure, and political power, food is and has been an enduring requirement of human biological, social, and cultural existence. Interest in food has increased across the academic, public, and popular spheres, fueled by popular media's constant play on the role of food and body size, and food and cooking, as a mass spectacle for TV audiences. Through food, we construct our social identities, our families and communities. However, Coveney also highlights the tensions between the industrialization of food, the environment, and the iniquitous distribution of food. He also considers how the food industries, on which most of us must rely, have also had direct effects on our bodies through diet, and the development of illness and diseases. 
 
 
 
This accessible primer is for students and general listeners alike, indeed, for anyone with an interest in food. It questions the idea that food is merely something inert on the plate. Instead, it shows how influential, symbolic, powerful, and transformative food has come to be.
