Schools Of To-morrow + The Schools of Utopia - Illustrated Edition

John Dewey

Editorial: DigiCat

Sinopsis

In "Schools of To-morrow" and "The Schools of Utopia," John Dewey presents a compelling vision for progressive education, critiquing traditional pedagogical approaches that stifle creativity and critical thinking. Combining an accessible writing style with philosophical depth, these texts argue for an experiential, child-centered education that prepares learners for democratic participation. Dewey's work is situated within the broader context of early 20th-century educational reform, influenced by the pragmatist movement, which emphasized the practical application of ideas in everyday life and the importance of community in moral development. John Dewey (1859-1952) was an American philosopher, psychologist, and educational reformer whose writings influenced numerous aspects of modern education and social thought. His experiences as a teacher, along with his engagement with contemporary European philosophies, such as those of Rousseau and Marx, equipped him with a unique perspective on schooling and society. Dewey's commitment to democracy and social change is evident in his call for educational environments that foster cooperative inquiry and social responsibility. For educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in the future of learning, "Schools of To-morrow" and "The Schools of Utopia" are essential readings. Dewey's insights challenge us to reimagine educational systems that are not only effective but also aligned with the values of a democratic society. These works will inspire readers to advocate for meaningful reform in education that champions the growth of individual potential within the community.

Gendered Dichotomies in African...

Taiwo Oloruntoba-Oju

Youth language data provides interesting perspectives on gender dynamics and gendered usage in society. However, the gender perspective has not received the deserved focus in youth language studies in Africa. This is partly due to the general perception that youth languages and classic youth language practices, such as slang and anti-language, are male-oriented. 

This collected volume focuses on gender dynamics and gendered usage in African youth languages and youth language practices, against the backdrop of urbanity as well as rurality. With representations from different parts of Africa, the volume examines sundry youth usage in different contexts and domains. While avoiding strict binarizations and potentially flawed dichotomies, the contributing scholars observe some of the motivations for different gender performatives and how these manifest in a variety of language forms and through predominated categories of use. Data samples were obtained through sociolinguistic and anthropological instruments, ranging from questionnaires and structured interviews to street-based observations and corpus analyses. 

On the whole, the volume engages the literature and debate on language, youth, and especially on gendering dynamics in African youth language practices.

Medieval Europe’s Mercenaries:...

Editors Charles River

The Middle Ages have long been remembered for armored knights battling on horseback and armies of men trying to breach the walls of formidable castles, but what is generally forgotten is that medieval warfare was constantly adapting to the times as leaders adopted new techniques and technology, and common infantry became increasingly important throughout the period. Meanwhile, political and technological progress led to continuous change of tactics and equipment. Cavalry became ascendant, only to be later replaced by infantry as their weapons improved, and by the end of the period, warfare was radically changing thanks to the rise of gunpowder weapons such as the handgonne and the bombard. 
The Middle Ages witnessed almost constant warfare in Europe, so mercenaries were a constant on the battlefield, but the 15th century also saw the rise of mercenary usage by the increasingly wealthy aristocracy. At the time, England and France existed in smaller versions than in the modern age, while the Spanish had unified into a few large kingdoms and were slowly pushing the Moors off the Iberian Peninsula. Norway and Hungary were larger than they are now, but otherwise, most of Europe was a patchwork quilt of small, constantly warring states. This was especially true in Germany and Italy, where innumerable city-states and little fiefdoms struggled to gain more territory and defend themselves against their neighbors.

Oceans Rise Empires Fall - Why...

Gerard Toal

In the last few years, it has become abundantly clear that the effects of accelerating climate change will be catastrophic, from rising seas to more violent storms to desertification. Yet why do nation-states find it so difficult to implement transnational policies that can reduce carbon output and slow global warming? In Oceans Rise, Empires Fall, Gerard Toal identifies geopolitics as the culprit. States would prefer to reduce emissions in the abstract, but in the great global competition for geopolitical power, states always prioritize access to carbon-based fuels necessary for generating the sort of economic growth that helps them compete with rival states. 
 
  
 
The Ukraine conflict in particular exposes our priorities. To escape reliance on Russia's vast oil and gas reserves, states have expanded fossil fuel production that necessarily increases the amount of carbon in the atmosphere. Competitive territorial, resource, and technological dramas across the geopolitical chessboard currently obscure the deterioration of the planet's life support systems. In the contest between geopolitics and sustainable climate policies, the former takes precedence—especially when competition shifts to outright conflict. In this book, Toal interrogates that relationship and its stakes for the ongoing acceleration of climate change.
