Beschreibung

History of Scholarships explores the evolution of financial aid, tracing its origins from early charitable acts to the complex, government-backed programs of today. Understanding this evolution is vital to tackling current issues of educational accessibility and student debt. The book reveals how scholarships transformed from limited, localized efforts, primarily benefiting the elite prior to the 20th century, to comprehensive systems driven by societal changes and the recognition of education as a public good.

 
Readers will discover how landmark legislation like the GI Bill and the Higher Education Act significantly reshaped access to higher education. The book argues that financial aid programs reflect historical forces, political ideologies, and social movements, not just benevolent intentions. By combining historical analysis with contemporary policy debates, the book provides a unique perspective on ongoing challenges like rising tuition costs and the equity of resource allocation.

 
Progressing chronologically and thematically, the book begins with early forms of educational support, transitions to the Enlightenment and modern universities, and culminates with an examination of present-day issues. This approach helps contextualize current debates surrounding college financing and educational opportunity.

Bright Summaries

Unlock the more straightforward side of Lolita with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!This engaging summary presents an analysis of Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov, which is the enthralling and disturbing tale of Humbert, a man in his forties, who falls in love with a young girl, soon becoming her stepfather and taking advantage of this position to pursue a vastly unsettling romance with her and fulfil his illicit desires. Lolita is regarded as one of the prime achievements in 20th century literature, though also among the most controversial, and its assimilation into popular culture is such that the name 'Lolita' has been used to imply that a young girl is sexually precocious. Nabokov has achieved international prominence, and has been a finalist for the American National Book Award for Fiction seven times.

Everyday Freedom - Designing the...

Philip K. Howard

Something basic is missing in our culture. Americans know it. Nothing much works as it should. Simple daily choices seem impossible, or fraught with peril. In the workplace, we walk on eggshells. Big projects get stalled in years of review. Endemic social problems such as homelessness become, well, more endemic. 
 
 
 
Everyday Freedom offers a radical reinterpretation of the corrosion of American culture. The assault on authority after the 1960s, aimed at enhancing freedom, instead created a plague of powerlessness. The teacher in the classroom, the principal in a school, the nurse in the hospital, the official in Washington, the parent on a field trip . . . all have their hands tied. Things don't work, and Americans have lost the freedom to be themselves. 
 
 
 
Everyday Freedom offers a radical vision for change: Re-empower Americans in their everyday choices. The massive legal structures erected since the 1960s were based on flawed notions that human judgment could be replaced by elaborate dictates. These failed structures must be replaced with simpler frameworks activated by human responsibility and accountability. Nothing will work sensibly until Americans are free to draw on their skills, intuitions, and values when confronting daily challenges. This is the only cure to alienation. This is also the only way to deliver good government.

A Measure Short of War - A Brief...

William C. Wohlforth, Jill Kastner

In 2016, the United States was stunned by evidence of Russian meddling in the US presidential elections. But it shouldn't have been. Subversion—domestic interference to undermine or manipulate a rival—is as old as statecraft itself. The basic idea would have been familiar to Sun Tzu, Thucydides, Elizabeth I, or Bismarck. 
 
 
 
It came as a surprise in 2016 because the sole superpower had fallen asleep at the wheel. But what's really new? Have we entered a new age of vulnerability? To answer these questions, and to protect ourselves against future subversion, we need a clear-eyed understanding of what it is and how it works. 
 
 
 
In A Measure Short of War, Jill Kastner and William C. Wohlforth provide just that, taking the listener on a compelling ride through the history of subversion, exploring two thousand years of mischief and manipulation to illustrate subversion's allure, its operational possibilities, and the means for fighting back against it. With vivid examples from the ancient world, the great-power rivalries of the nineteenth century, epic Cold War struggles, and more, A Measure Short of War shows how prior technological revolutions opened up new avenues for subversion, and how some democracies have been fatally weakened by foreign subverters while others have artfully defended themselves—and their democratic principles.
