Book Synopsis Thomas Shields and the Renewal of Catholic Education by : Leonardo Franchi
Download or read book Thomas Shields and the Renewal of Catholic Education written by Leonardo Franchi and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2023-05-26 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the contribution of the Rev Dr Thomas Shields (1862-1921) to Catholic education in the United States of America in the late 19th and early 20th century. Fr Shields was a pioneer in combining a career as an academic in Catholic University of America with the publication of many resources for schools. Given his pioneering role in aligning Catholic educational thought with emerging insights in the sciences, and his multi-layered commitment to Catholic education as scholar, author of textbooks and founder of initiatives in the field of Teacher Education, it seems fitting that his considerable body of work should be the subject of fresh scholarly investigation. The book is in five parts. Part 1, “Catholicism as an Educational Movement”, sets out the contours of the intellectual climate in which Shields operated and presents Catholicism as a dynamic educational movement. Part 2, “Responding to Progressive Thought”, explores the relationship between Progressivism and Catholic Education, showing how the Catholic Church responded to the challenges presented by Progressive thought. Part 3, “Shields and the Reform of Pedagogy”, examines both Shields’ general pedagogical principles and how they relate to Catholic education. Part 4, “Forming Teachers in Heart and Mind”, considers Shields’ ideas on Catholic Teacher Formation, exploring issues such as culture, vocation, method and curriculum. Part 5, “The Catholic Education Series”, explores selected examples from Shields’ Catholic Education Series to identify how his material for schools reflected, to a greater or lesser extent, his wider educational ideas. As the present age is also witness to considerable and deep-rooted challenges to Catholic education and, indeed to the Catholic understanding of the human person, Shields’ work will inspire contemporary reform-minded Catholic educators to reassess and develop the mission of Catholic education in light of the traditions of the Church.

Download or read book Off the Record written by Tim Skubick and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2009-04-24 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For more than thirty years Tim Skubick has opened the door of state government with reporting that has taken us behind the scenes, onto the legislative floor and even into the Governor's office. His passionate brand of journalism has made an indelible mark on Lansing and on Michigan's political history." ---Governor Jennifer M. Granholm "Chatty, anecdotal, and sure to please political junkies." ---Meegan Holland, Booth Newspapers In the last thirty-four years Michigan residents have elected four governors-Milliken, Blanchard, Engler, and the state's first female chief executive, Jennifer Granholm. We have lived through the PBB poisoning of our food chain, seen governors and lieutenant governors battling for supremacy, watched women emerge as a powerful political force, and endured an endless cast of characters, clowns, crooks, and class acts on our political stage. Only one political journalist has had a front-row seat for all of these events and countless other stories that have shaped our lives since 1969. Now widely acclaimed TV-radio anchor and newspaper columnist Tim Skubick takes you behind the headlines for his inside skinny on Granholm's meteoric rise to governor and speculation that she'd make a great U.S. president. He also dissects the stunning upset victory of John Engler over Jim Blanchard and walks you through the grueling twenty-four-year journey to push property-tax relief through a recalcitrant state legislature. Skubick brings his breezy and witty writing style to a first-of-its-kind book that reveals an insider's edition of the stories about the stories you've never read before. Off the Record puts you in a front-row seat right next to the author and the politicians in a history-making book about Michigan politics. If you love the great state of Michigan, you'll love this book.
Book Synopsis Tom Shields Takes the Fifth by : Tom Shields
Download or read book Tom Shields Takes the Fifth written by Tom Shields and published by Mainstream Publishing Company. This book was released on 2002 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ""Just when you thought it was safe to go into a bookshop, here is yet another book from that man at the Herald Diary. It is the usual scintillating mixture of anecdote, pith (no, there is no lithp involved) and fable. There will also be some funny photies. This is the fifth book in the Tom Shields trilogy. Yes, his counting is as awful as his writing. This time, however, Shields does not bare the blame alone. This tome is culled from the Diary columns that Shields and Ken Smith wrote together five days a week at The Herald. This was before Pepys the Elder left to embark on a glittering career as a freelance writer, leaving the column in the capable hands of the talented-ish, young-ish, handsome Mr Smith. Tom Shields' writing is featured in four other Mainstream books- Tom Shields' Diary, Tom Shields Too, Tom Shields Free at Last and Tom Shields Goes Forth.""

Book Synopsis Tie My Bones to Her Back by : Robert F. Jones
Download or read book Tie My Bones to Her Back written by Robert F. Jones and published by Skyhorse Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2014-02-18 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After her parents’ deaths and the recession force her out of her home in 1873, Jenny Dousmann heads for the Wild West. She knows that if she can find her brother, Otto, a Civil War veteran, he’ll take care of her. When they finally reunite, Jenny is surprised to find that Otto has been working as a buffalo hunter and is struggling even to support himself. The number of hunters in the West has increased rapidly, and buffalo has become scarce. To make matters worse, the whites and the native Indians are constantly at war, putting everyone in the area in danger. Their first winter alone in the West is devastating: Jenny is raped by two US soldiers passing through the area, while Otto is crippled during a blizzard. They are discovered, near death, by a member of a nearby Cheyenne tribe. Two Shields is an Indian buffalo skinner, and he vows to keep them safe. To do so, Two Shields asks them to become members of his tribe. He promises to teach them how to hunt like his people and to live simply on the land. Jenny and Otto must decide if they should continue to depend on only each other or if they should put their lives in the hands of a man who is supposed to be their enemy. Skyhorse Publishing is proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in fiction that takes place in the old West. Westerns—books about outlaws, sheriffs, chiefs and warriors, cowboys and Indians—are a genre in which we publish regularly. Our list includes international bestselling authors like Zane Gray and Louis L’Amour, and many more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

Book excerpt: The direction of Paul and Sean Cronin's lives was shaped the day their father, a self-made multimillionaire, decided that one of his boys would grow up to be a cardinal while the other would become president of the United States. For his elder son, Paul, the father had even chosen a wife—the beautiful Nora, who had come to the Cronin home as an orphan child years before. Obediently, and with a genuine vocation, the younger son, Sean, went into the priesthood. With a more cynical view, Paul went to Notre Dame to prepare for a life in politics until the Korean War intervened. Then came the news—Paul Cronin was missing in action. "If he dies," Sean's father told him, "you must leave the seminary and marry Nora." The words sang in Sean's head. Could he renounce his sacred calling—and marry the girl he had always loved? Long out of print, Thy Brother's Wife is a classic tale by one of America's most loved storytellers. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
Download or read book On a Whim written by R.D. Koontz and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This saga is about a young man’s remarkable experiences from an early age. His father’s desire to learn to fly an airplane began as a ten-year-old in the Texas Panhandle but instead had to quit school and formal education to survive working in the Great Depression of the 1930s. Because of him, Rocky Don Stone piloted a crop-dusting helicopter at the age of sixteen, before he’d even sat in an airplane and found himself in the Caribbean Sea flying a seaplane for Hemingway Aviation in San Juan, Puerto Rico, at the age of nineteen. His life changes dramatically over a two-year period, including befriending Bob Marley in Kinston, Jamaica, and becoming world-famous in Mazatlan, Mexico. The story includes interesting Meso-American facts told by anthropologists and historians. Learn about why the Cayman Islands are so special. A simple come-on line to meet an islander girl in Charlotte Amalie, Saint Thomas, of the US Virgin Islands catapults Rocky Don’s life far beyond his expectations. However adventurous and successful he became, Rocky Don remained humble and considered himself a regular guy. Get excited by the prospect of finding a sunken pirate ship last seen in 1686. There is a woman who is one of a set of quadruplets that all look alike but are each of a different race, who, in 1971, was forty-two years old. Learn about the location of the first golf course in the Western Hemisphere. The book will be an adventure to read.
