John Dewey's Democracy and Education is the touchstone for a great deal of modern educational theory. It covers a wide range of themes and issues relating to education, including teaching, learning, educational environments, subject matter, values, and the nature of work and play. This Handbook is designed to help experts and non-experts to navigate Dewey's text. The authors are specialists in the fields of philosophy and education; their chapters offer readers expert insight into areas of Dewey work that they know well and have returned to time and time again throughout their careers. The Handbook is divided into two parts. Part I features short companion chapters corresponding to each of Dewey's chapters in Democracy and Education. These serve to guide readers through the complex arguments developed in the book. Part II features general articles placing the book into historical, philosophical and practical contexts and highlighting its relevance today.
A compassionate, intelligent, and wry series of Christian daily reflections on learning to live with imperfection in a culture of self-help that promotes endless progress, from the New York Times bestselling author of Everything Happens for a Reason In Kate Bowler's first book, Everything Happens for a Reason, readers witnessed the ways she, as a divinity school professor and young mother, reckoned with a Stage IV cancer diagnosis; in her second book, No Cure for Being Human, she discovered the ways life becomes beautiful and hard when we abandon certainty and the illusion of control in our lives. Now, in her first-ever devotional book, Kate Bowler offers 40ish short spiritual reflections on how we can make sense of life not as a pursuit of endless progress, but as a chronic condition. This book is a companion for when you want to stop feeling guilty that you're not living your best life now. Written gently and with humor, Good Enough is a permission slip for all those who need to hear
