Sinossi

Standardized Testing offers a comprehensive exploration of standardized assessments in education, examining their historical context, purpose, and impact. This academic analysis investigates whether these tests truly measure student learning or perpetuate social inequality. The book traces the evolution of standardized testing from early 20th-century intelligence measures to today's high-stakes evaluations, revealing how social, political, and economic forces have shaped their use.

 
Did you know standardized tests significantly influence not only students, but also teachers, schools, and educational policy? The book critically analyzes the claims of objectivity, accountability, and fairness often associated with standardized tests, scrutinizing their validity, reliability, and potential biases. It delves into the effects of test preparation on curriculum, the pressure on students, and potential demographic biases, advocating for a balanced assessment approach.

 
Structured around key themes such as test validity and the history of testing, the book progresses through different types of standardized tests and analyzes their impact on students and schools, culminating in a discussion of alternative assessment methods and implications for educational policy.

    As a woman with a husband and other partners, philosopher Carrie Jenkins knows that love is complicated. 
     
     
     
    Love is most often associated with happiness, satisfaction, and pleasure. But it has a darker side we ignore at our peril. Love is often an uncomfortable and difficult feeling. The people we love can let us down badly. And the ways we love are often quite different to the romantic ideals society foists upon us. Since we are inevitably disappointed by love, wouldn't we be better off without it? 
     
     
     
    No, says Carrie Jenkins. Instead, we need a new philosophy of love, one that recognizes that the pain and suffering love causes are a natural, even a good part of what makes love worthwhile. What Jenkins calls "sad love" offers no bogus "happy ever afters". Rather, it tries to find a way properly to integrate heartbreak and disappointment into the lived experience of love. 
     
     
     
    It's time we liberated love.

    The historical figure of the dandy has commonly been described as an upper-class gentleman. But there is a broader history to be told about the dandy—one that incorporates unknown men from the lower strata of society.The Dandy: A People's History constitutes the first history of those dandies who emanated from the less privileged layers of the populace—the lowly clerks, shop assistants, domestic servants, and laborers who increasingly during the modern age have emerged as style-conscious men about town.A series of fascinating in-depth studies of the wide variety of dandy subcultures that have surfaced around the world in the last two centuries tell the story of how the shaping of fashions and the image of men became increasingly democratized, with the arbiters of taste increasingly coming from the other end of the social spectrum. We encounter such long-forgotten groups as the mashers, the knuts, the Paris gandins and the Berlin transgender dandies, alongside unexplored figures like the zoot suiter, the teddy boy, and the New Romantic.This is a story of how fundamental aspects of modern culture such as fashion, style, and conduct have been shaped from below just as much as from above.
