Summary

Knowledge Centers explores the vital role of historical institutions in preserving, expanding, and transmitting knowledge across cultures and generations, focusing primarily on the ancient and medieval periods.  It examines how these centers actively shaped intellectual history, influencing advancements from scientific discoveries to philosophical thought. The book argues these centers were not merely repositories of information, but dynamic hubs where existing knowledge was critiqued, expanded upon, and disseminated.

 
The book delves into prominent examples, such as the Library of Alexandria, an early model for organizing vast amounts of information, and the House of Wisdom in Baghdad, which preserved Greek texts and fostered advancements in mathematics and astronomy.  Medieval European universities also feature prominently, highlighting their contribution to scholasticism and law.

 
The book uniquely adopts a comparative approach, contrasting different types of knowledge centers across cultures and time periods to identify common themes and unique features, avoiding Eurocentric perspectives.

 
Concluding with an analysis of how these historical centers continue to influence modern systems of education and research, the book demonstrates the enduring relevance of ancient practices in today's interconnected world.  By drawing from primary sources like surviving manuscripts and contemporary accounts, Knowledge Centers offers a multidisciplinary perspective on intellectual history and cultural development.

    Digging Through the Bible -...

    A “masterful and eminently readable” journey through the fascinating insights and revelations of Biblical archeology (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Many of our religious beliefs are based on faith alone, but archaeology gives us the opportunity to find evidence about what really happened in the distant past—evidence that can have a dramatic impact on what and how we believe. In Digging Through the Bible, archaeologist and rabbi Richard Freund takes readers through digs he has led in the Holy Land, searching for evidence about key biblical characters and events.  Digging Through the Bible presents overviews of the evidence surrounding figures such as Moses, Kings David and Solomon, and Mary the mother of Jesus, as well as new information that can help us more fully understand the life and times in which these people would have lived. Freund also presents new evidence about finding the grave of the Teacher of Righteousness mentioned in the Dead Sea Scrolls, and gives a compelling argument about how the Exodus of the Israelites may have taken place in three separate waves over time, rather than in a single event as presented in the Bible.

    In We Will Be Heard, noted political scientist Jo Freeman chronicles the struggles of women in the United States for political power. Most of their stories are little-known, but Freeman's compelling portrait of women working for change reminds us that women have never been silent in the political affairs of the nation. From J. Ellen Foster's address to the 1892 Republican Convention to Nancy Pelosi's 2007 election as the first female Speaker of the House, women have worked to influence politics at every level. Well before most could vote, women campaigned for candidates and lobbied to shape public policy. Men welcomed their work, but not their ideas. Even with equal suffrage women faced many barriers to full political participation. The fifteen case studies of women's struggles for political influence in this book provide the historical context for today's political events. Starting with an overview of when and why political women have been studied, the three sections of the book look at different ways in whi
