Synopsis

In 'Democracy and Education & Other Writings (A Collected Edition)', John Dewey discusses the relationship between democracy and education, emphasizing the importance of active learning and experiential education in a democratic society. Dewey's writing style is scholarly and insightful, offering a blend of philosophy, psychology, and education theory. His ideas on progressive education and the role of schools in fostering democratic citizens are still influential today. This collection includes other writings by Dewey that further explore his educational theories and their relevance to society. Overall, this book provides a comprehensive look at Dewey's educational philosophy and its implications for modern education systems. John Dewey, a prominent philosopher and educator, was a key figure in the progressive education movement in the early 20th century. His experiences as a teacher and his deep interest in philosophy and psychology led him to develop innovative ideas on education. Dewey's belief in the importance of critical thinking, problem-solving, and democracy in education continues to shape educational practices around the world. I highly recommend 'Democracy and Education & Other Writings' to readers interested in educational philosophy, progressive education, and the intersection of democracy and learning.

Success Without School -...

Jean Proffitt Nunnally

Consequences of the ongoing pandemic have seriously affected educational systems in the U.S. and around the world. School closures and the opportunities or nightmares of remote learning have caused many parents to reconsider options for schooling their children. Alternatives to conventional school are currently hot topics, strongly motivated by growing racism and the social bullying that confront many youngsters and teens in todays school environment. (New Yorker Magazine, June 21, 2021, "The Rise of Black Homeschooling")
Jean Nunnally's memoir of her trials and triumphs in unschooling her two children from birth to college provides an enlightening insight into the innate learning ability of humans, showing how self-esteem, trust and personal responsibility were preserved and strengthened for herself and her kids. "Unschooling" the author says, "is the way we have learned throughout time and the way adults learn when they are free to pursue their interests." Her book gives an overview of unschooling or self-directed learning, but so much more. Jean not only did the work, but her son and daughter are proof that unschooling works. They were each accepted in and graduated from prestigious U.S. colleges and testify, in personal reflections at the end of the narrative, to the happiness and fulfillment of their elementary and high school years following their passions, their hobbies, their music, their dreams, often in stark contrast to the struggles with traditional forms their peers were required to submit to.
Success Without School addresses myths and misperceptions of unschoolers. She explains how her view of school changed, and changed her, as she proceeded to unschool her children. She leaves the reader with an encouraging description of the three jobs of an unschooling parent: exposure, facilitation, and modeling; and offers her unique approach to preparing an unschooled teen for college, and the specific challenges that required.

Vexillology - Flags of the...

Mike Crawford

The history of flags is as old as civilization itself, beginning with the use of symbols to identify and distinguish groups, tribes, and nations. These symbols, initially simple and functional, later evolved into the complex designs we recognize today as flags. In their early forms, flags were not necessarily the fabric banners we use now but were often symbols or standards that represented a group or entity. These early markers were used to communicate identity, power, and territorial boundaries. 
The earliest known use of flags dates back to ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians, Greeks, and Chinese. For example, the ancient Egyptians used flags made of fabric or leather as symbols of authority, carried into battle or displayed in royal courts. These early flags often consisted of simple shapes and symbols, such as the Egyptian ankh or the scarab, representing the gods and the ruling elite. 
Similarly, ancient Greek and Roman civilizations used banners in both military and civic contexts. In Roman times, military standards called "signa" were carried by soldiers during battles. These standards were often adorned with the images of gods, and the legions were known for their proud display of these banners, which were considered sacred. These military standards were instrumental in maintaining order and morale within the ranks and also served as a form of propaganda, displaying the power and might of the Roman Empire.
