    The Amateur Hour - A History of...

    American college teaching is in crisis, or so we are told. But we've heard that complaint for the past 150 years, as critics have denounced the poor quality of instruction in undergraduate classrooms. Students daydream in gigantic lecture halls while a professor drones on, or they meet with a teaching assistant for an hour of aimless discussion. The modern university does not reward teaching, so faculty members at every level neglect it in favor of research and publication. In the first book-length history of American college teaching, Jonathan Zimmerman confirms but also contradicts these perennial complaints. Drawing upon a wide range of previously unexamined sources, The Amateur Hour shows how generations of undergraduates indicted the weak instruction they received. But Zimmerman also chronicles institutional efforts to improve it, especially by making teaching more "personal." As higher education grew into a gigantic industry, he writes, American colleges and universities introduced small-group activities and other reforms designed to counter the anonymity of mass instruction. They also experimented with new technologies like television and computers, which promised to "personalize" teaching by tailoring it to the individual interests and abilities of each student.But, Zimmerman reveals, the emphasis on the personal inhibited the professionalization of college teaching, which remains, ultimately, an amateur enterprise. The more that Americans treated teaching as a highly personal endeavor, dependent on the idiosyncrasies of the instructor, the less they could develop shared standards for it. Nor have they rigorously documented college instruction, a highly public activity which has taken place mostly in private. Pushing open the classroom door, The Amateur Hour illuminates American college teaching and frames a fresh case for restoring intimate learning communities, especially for America's least privileged students. Anyone who wants to change college teaching will have to start here.

    To Be You or Not to Be You—What a Silly Question 
From the day we are born, our culture embeds in us a system for navigating life. Know 
challenges these societal rules and expectations, illuminating how The Model, or control, 
traps us in a seemingly unbreakable cycle and leaves us living for a false sense of security. 
Based on over twenty-two years of observational research, author Amy Cerny Vasterling reveals how our social hierarchy stunts personal growth, suppresses us into conformity, and disallows all people thrive. 
Know explores how we became disconnected from ourselves, resulting in anxiety, 
limitations, and more—while reclaiming our personal knowing leads us to freedom. Learn 
how to break free from the tenets holding you stuck so you can trust yourself and navigate 
life with clarity and confidence. 
By returning to our personal knowing, we quietly collapse narcissism and become 
an example by which others can grow naturally. Know offers a path to who we truly are and 
shows how, when we attend to this work, our shared result is natural equality. The journey 
begins within and ends as we bring our self to life. 
Amy Cerny Vasterling is a future-focused public speaker, teacher, and intuitive sharing the importance of returning to your personal knowing. Based on over twenty-two years of observational research, she exposes what it takes to collapse narcissism, resulting in natural equality. Now she empowers individuals and communities to dynamically return to the truth of who they are so they can fully live life.

  • Rise and Fall of the Crusader States The: The History of the Outremer in the Holy Land - cover

    Rise and Fall of the Crusader...

    Of the many campaigns during the Middle Ages, few are as remarkable or seemingly impossible to win at the start as the First Crusade (1095-99), and the true crowning achievement of that crusade, which resulted in two centuries of Western European Christian states in the Middle East and the permanent firing of the European imagination, was the conquest of Jerusalem on July 15, 1099 after three weeks of siege. That victorious siege came four years after the call for a crusade first went out, and had the Crusaders not taken Jerusalem, the First Crusade would not likely have been followed by any more and the campaign might have been no more than an historical footnote of what could have been.  
Despite the successful First Crusade, the Crusader States were relatively small and weak, and while they tried to be a bulwark of Christianity in the Holy Land, the Crusader States were reconquered centuries before modern European colonialism began. Nonetheless, the Crusades and the Crusader States galvanized the Christians of Western Europe to expand their world. While it remains unclear how much that world expanded in practical terms such as trade, or how it affected later attitudes during the expansion to the New World and other regions, it definitely engaged the European mind in both positive and negative ways. As such, the crusades soon achieved near-mythic status in the European literature and remain among the most important events of the Middle Ages. 
At the same time, the Crusader States were not one homogenized region but actually several distinct territories that had their own unique histories and interests. In fact, many of them were founded a century apart, with the Kingdom of Antioch established in 1097 and the Duchy of Cyprus in 1191, and they stretched across the Near East and the Mediterranean. As such, each one had different political, religious, and economic characteristics.
