Download or read book Development of a 'Wordsmanship' Training Course for Marginal Personnel written by John Henry Steinemann and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The investigation is part of continuing research to determine the trainability of Group IV personnel and to develop optimal content and methods for marginal training. The Wordsmanship course for training basic written language skills was taught as a part of the Training Methods Development Program experimental curriculum. Data were obtained for 176 Group IV personnel in 12 classes trained during the period from September 1968 to June 1970. Evaluations of training effectiveness were based on pre- and posttraining tests and measures of student achievement. The Wordsmanship training has generally proved effective in terms of student achievement of primary course goals, despite a trainee input characterized by low verbal abilities and unfavorable attitudes toward language instruction. Trainees substantially improved their knowledge and proficiency in each of the sub-course areas of wordsmanship, and most students reported a more favorable attitude toward words and a desire for future self-improvement of verbal skills. Training approaches described should be adaptable to other training contexts having similar objectives for marginal personnel. (Author).

Download or read book Mastering Self written by Donald G. Hanna and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2022-03-28 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mastering Self is a worthy goal in a culture preoccupied with self. It is a journey that consists of warnings to heed, pitfalls to avoid, hazards to shun, detours to seek, options to assess, precautions to take, opportunities to embrace, and lessons to learn. This journey requires conviction—purpose. Many adults lack the courage of conviction because they have no conviction: no colors to nail to their mast. Conviction has formed and fashioned this book in the context of 120 white papers: essays to describe issues, ideas, and ideals that intersect to inform, instruct, interpret, and inspire in the lifelong journey of mastering self. The human condition, influenced by culture and politics, has a propensity to ignore or reject the lessons of history, practical philosophy, and basic theology. It replaces timeless virtues with temporary values. Consequently, mastering self has cultural, political, historical, philosophical, and theological implications for learning and understanding who and what you are. This discernment does not exist naturally in the human condition. It requires lifelong study. This book is for serious thinkers who want to clarify their worldview for wise living. It represents crucial truths, virtues, choices, and consequences for reference, reflection, or rumination. Understanding them fortifies relationships. Embracing them increases personal influence. Applying them benefits leadership. Practicing them sustains through difficulty. Cultivating them makes life worth living. These papers provide perspective about what matters in life: written with concise, clear, cogent context and correlated for coherence and continuity. They result from my reading, teaching, writing, and pondering to keep my heart with all diligence regarding issues in life (Prov. 4:23). Collectively, they pertain to what the exceptional few consider. Some pinch the comfort zone, give pause, stretch the mind, or unsettle settled assumptions. Those politically incorrect come from old-school insight by a stubborn gadfly with stubborn ideas regarding stubborn facts and stubborn problems. The insight comes from twenty-four years as a police chief leading and managing police affairs in an urban area with a large university.

Download or read book The Wit and Humour of Political Science written by Lee Sigelman and published by ECPR Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wit and Humour of Political Science is the serendipitous product of two senior scholars working across the world from one another and who independently collected funny and satirical articles on political science over the years with the intent of someday publishing them for a wider audience. The lead editors— Kenneth Newton (Professor Emeritus, University of Southampton, Visiting Professor, Wissenschaftszentrum Berlin, and Hertie School of Governance, Berlin) and the late Lee Sigelman (Columbian School of Arts and Sciences, Distinguished Professor of Political Science, George Washington University) — learned by chance of each other's projects. Newton and Sigelman joined forces with Kenneth Meier (Charles H. Gregory Chair in Liberal Arts and Distinguished Professor of Political Science, Texas A&M University) and Bernard Grofman (Jack W. Peltason (Bren Foundation) Endowed Chair in the Department of Political Science, University of California, Irvine) to publish this collection under the joint imprint of APSA and ECPR. The collection includes previously published essays as well as original pieces never formally published. From the editors: This volume collects what in our opinions are the wittiest and funniest pieces about political science and political scientists. We are confident that even a small investment of the reader's time will be sufficient to disprove Baker's slur on our discipline. Like all good humour, much of the work we have chosen for inclusion has a serious point. It helps scholars keep an open and skeptical mind, it picks out our weak points in theory and methods, points out how research may be going wrong, and it pricks the balloon of bombast, pretentiousness, and jargon. And, not only that, it's fun... Its contents make essential reading for all political scientists, even the most senior, but it may be enjoyed by younger scholars, especially those without tenure (or worse yet, without a job), by other social scientists, and even— gasp—by readers unaffiliated with any academic discipline.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a faithful English translation of An-Nazarat (‘The Reflections’) by Mustafa Lutfi al-Manfaluti, a distinguished essayist from the era of the Nahda, or the Modern Arabic Literary Renaissance in Egypt. Al-Manfaluti’s magnum opus, first published in 1910, is a rich collection of short stories, essays, and a few adapted translations, originally featured in Egypt’s al-Mu’ayyad newspaper. With a sharp, reflective eye, al-Manfaluti captures the vibrant tapestry of life, inviting readers to explore the intricate interplay of cultural identity and the dynamic evolution of society. His works, which John A. Haywood describes as spanning the ‘whole gamut of current ethical and social problems,’ offer a glimpse into the early 20th-century Egyptian zeitgeist, touching on themes of political nationalism, pan-Islamic aspirations, and religious reform. Al-Manfaluti’s unique, almost highbrow style, with its distinct lustre, sets his writings apart. Abdul-Sattar Jawad compares him to the Romantic essayist Lamb, noting al-Manfaluti’s use of personal reminiscences, stories, interest in the natural past, and prose poems, often reinforced with verse quotations. Hailed as a genius in the art of literary composition and prose-writing, and a leader in pure stylistic diction, al-Manfaluti’s An-Nazarat remains a seminal work for those interested in the Middle East and the Nahda period, a melting pot of social and literary significance.

Download or read book Dialectical Practice in Tibetan Philosophical Culture written by Kenneth Liberman and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2007-09-26 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tibetan Buddhist scholar-monks have long engaged in face-to-face public philosophical debates. This original study challenges Orientalist text-based scholarship, which has overlooked these lived practices of Tibetan dialectics. Kenneth Liberman brings these dynamic disputations to life for the modern reader through a richly detailed, turn-by-turn analysis of the monks' formal philosophical reasoning. He argues that Tibetan Buddhists deliberately organize their debates into formal structures that both empower and constrain thinking, skillfully using logic as an interactional tool to organize their reflections. During his three years in residence at Tibetan monastic universities, Liberman observed and videotaped the monks' debates. He then transcribed, translated, and analyzed them using multimedia software and ethnomethodological techniques, which enabled him to scrutinize the local methods that Tibetan debaters use to keep their philosophical inquiries alive. His study shows the monks rely on such indigenous dialectical methods as extending an opponent's position to its absurd consequences, "pulling the rug out" from under an opponent, and other lively strategies. This careful investigation of the formal philosophical work of Tibetan scholars is a pathbreaking analysis of an important classical tradition.

Book excerpt: New York Times bestseller: An “exquisitely wrought memoir” about how “love can flourish even in the harshest climates”—for readers of The Liar’s Club and Running with Scissors (People). This poignant, darkly funny account of two siblings—one white, one Black—growing up in the Christian fundamentalist communities of Indiana and the Dominican Republic is “one of the best memoirs in years” (Anne Lamott, author of Bird by Bird). Julia and her adopted brother, David, are 16 years old. Julia is white. David is black. It is the mid–1980s and their family has just moved to rural Indiana, a landscape of cottonwood trees, trailer parks, and an all–encompassing racism. At home are a distant mother—more involved with her church’s missionaries than her own children—and a violent father. In this riveting and heartrending memoir, Julia Scheeres takes us from the Midwest to a place beyond imagining. Surrounded by natural beauty, Escuela Caribe—a religious reform school in the Dominican Republic—is characterized by a disciplinary regime that extracts repentance from its students by any means necessary. Julia and David strive to make it through these ordeals and their tale is relayed here with startling immediacy, extreme candor, and wry humor. Over a decade after its first publication, Jesus Land remains deeply resonant with readers. This New York Times bestselling memoir is a gripping tale of rage and redemption, hope and humor, morality and malice—and most of all, the truth: that being a good person takes more than just going to church.
