The Importance of Being Urban -...

David A. Gamson

From the 1890s through World War II, the greatest hopes of American progressive reformers lay not in the government, the markets, or other seats of power but in urban school districts and classrooms. The Importance of Being Urban focuses on four western school systems—in Denver, Oakland, Portland, and Seattle—and their efforts to reconfigure public education in the face of rapid industrialization and the perceived perils of the modern city. In an era of accelerated immigration, shifting economic foundations, and widespread municipal shake-ups, reformers argued that the urban school district could provide the broad blend of social, cultural, and educational services needed to prepare students for twentieth-century life. These school districts were a crucial force not only in orchestrating educational change, but in delivering on the promise of democracy. David A. Gamson’s book provides eye-opening views of the histories of American education, urban politics, and the Progressive Era.

Bright Summaries

Unlock the more straightforward side of The Crucible with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!This engaging summary presents an analysis of The Crucible by Arthur Miller, a vivid allegory of the mass hysteria that swept through the town of Salem during the Salem Witch Trials. In spite of its historical subject matter, the play was chillingly topical at the time it was written: the 1950s were marked by McCarthyism, where accusations of Communism were rife and many Americans (including Miller himself) were hauled before the House Un-American Activities Committee to answer for their behaviour. Arthur Miller is considered one of the most influential dramatists of the 20th century, and The Crucible was one of his best-known plays. It remains popular today, and new productions of the play are frequently performed.Find out everything you need to know about The Crucible in a fraction of the time!This in-depth and informative reading guide brings you:• A complete plot summary• Character studies• Key themes and symbols• Questions for further reflectionWhy choose BrightSummaries.com?Available in print and digital format, our publications are designed to accompany you on your reading journey.

Lincoln But Trump - Narrative...

PhD Randy Olson

THE NARRATIVE DIAGNOSIS: I have some bad news for you — your AF (AND Frequency) is a bloated 3.8%, your N.I. (Narrative Index, BUT/AND ratio) is an anemic 4. There’s a real risk of you boring an audience to death.
The ABT Narrative Template, already famous for its use in “Cat Herding" and “silo busting," now has two very powerful metrics — the AF and the NI.
In this ground-breaking and original book, Lincoln But Trump, Randy Olson introduces a whole new quantitative component to both narrative structure and, crucial for today’s world, messaging.
Here, for the first time ever, are two very simple but powerful “narrative metrics” that now make possible the “narrative diagnosis” of content. The metrics do for storytelling the same thing a doctor does to assess your health — i.e. they tell you if you have a problem.
Is it quackery for simpletons? A fair question, but just look at the simple patterns that emerge, starting with the metrics for the legendary 1858 Lincoln-Douglas Debates. The data are as clear as "night and day" (the same comparison a reporter used to describe the two candidates). The results have been sitting there waiting to be discovered for 160 years.
It’s a whole new way to look at messaging and narrative strength for both the political and historical worlds.
- Park Howell, Host, The Business of Story Podcast
Following the basic ABT (And, But, Therefore) form that Olson has been researching for 15 years, he outlines the need for a quantitative approach. He introduces the two metrics, then applies them to the novel idea of, “Narrative Forensics” in which hypotheses can be tested by calculating the two metrics for various materials.
Using the two narrative metrics Olson shows how you can diagnose your own narrative strength, then work to improve it.
