Sinossi

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.

Safavid Empire - The Giant...

Kelly Mass

The Safavid Empire, often referred to as Safavid Iran or Safavid Persia, stands out as one of the most influential Iranian empires following the Muslim conquest of Persia in the 7th century. Ruling from 1501 to 1736, the Safavid dynasty is regarded as the catalyst for modern Iranian history and is recognized as one of the prominent gunpowder empires of its time. A pivotal moment in Muslim history, the Safavid rulers established the Twelver school of Shia Islam as the empire's official religion, which fundamentally shaped the spiritual and political landscape of Iran. 
The origins of the Safavid dynasty can be traced back to a Sufi order founded in the Azerbaijani city of Ardabil. Initially a spiritual movement, the Safavid order transformed into a formidable political force. The dynasty, which had Kurdish Iranian roots, became increasingly Turkified through intermarriages with various ethnic groups, including Turkoman, Georgian, Circassian, and Pontic Greek officials. As a result, the Safavid leaders became Turkish-speaking and culturally integrated into the diverse milieu of the region.

The Architecture of Disability -...

David Gissen

Disability critiques of architecture usually emphasize the need for modification and increased access, but The Architecture of Disability calls for a radical reorientation of this perspective by situating experiences of impairment as a new foundation for the built environment. With its provocative proposal for "the construction of disability," this book fundamentally reconsiders how we conceive of and experience disability in our world. 
 
 
 
Stressing the connection between architectural form and the capacities of the human body, David Gissen demonstrates how disability haunts the history and practice of architecture. Examining various historic sites, landscape designs, and urban spaces, he deconstructs the prevailing functionalist approach to accommodating disabled people in architecture and instead asserts that physical capacity is essential to the conception of all designed space. 
 
 
 
By recontextualizing the history of architecture through the discourse of disability, Gissen presents a unique challenge to current modes of architectural practice, theory, and education. Envisioning an architectural design that fully integrates disabled persons into its production, it advocates for looking beyond traditional notions of accessibility and shows how certain incapacities can offer us the means to positively reimagine the roots of architecture.
