Описание:
Vic Frierson's book In the Company of a Known Felon discusses the author's perceptions of the federal prison system. It is gleaned from his experiences as an inmate at the Federal Prison Camp at Cumberland (MD). Along the way, Vic provides case studies of eight of his fellow inmates, obtained through personal interviews. Each man openly tells his intriguing story, as well as shares his individual insights about the prison system, its shortcomings and missed opportunities.
Rural fires were an even more persistent scourge than famine in late imperial Russia, as Cathy Frierson shows in this first comprehensive study. Destroying almost three billion rubles’ worth of property in European Russia between 1860 and 1904, accidental and arson fires acted as a brake on Russia’s economic development while subjecting peasants to perennial shocks to their physical and emotional condition. The fire question captured the attention of educated, progressive Russians, who came to perceived it as a key obstacle to Russia’s becoming a modern society in the European model.
Using sources ranging from literary representations and newspaper articles to statistical tables and court records, Frierson demonstrates the many meanings fire held for both peasants and the educated elite. To peasants, it was an essential source of light and warmth as well as a destructive force that regularly ignited their cramped villages of wooden, thatch-roofed huts. Absent the rule of law, they often used arson to gain justice or revenge, or to exert social control over those who would violate village norms. Frierson shows that the vast majority of arson cases in European Russia were not peasant-against-gentry acts of protest but peasant-against-peasant acts of "self-help" law or plain spite.
Both the state and individual progressives set out to resolve the fire question and to educate, cajole, or coerce the peasantry into the modern world. Fire insurance, building codes, "scientific" village layouts, and volunteer firefighting brigades reduced the average number of buildings consumed in each blaze, but none of these measures succeeded in curbing the number of fires each year.
More than anything else, this history of fire and arson in rural European Russia is a history of their cultural meanings in the late imperial campaign for modernity. Frierson shows the special associations of women with fire in rural life and in elite understanding of fire in the Russian countryside. Her study of the fire question demonstrates both peasant agency in fighting fire and educated Russians' hardening conviction that peasants stood in the way of Russia's advent into the company of prosperous, rational, civilized nations.

Описание:
Deeper Than Flesh is a book dedicated to those on their journey to self-love, discipline and recognizing the power they hold through self-awareness. Letting go of people and things that no longer serve you is so liberating, we often beat ourselves up when we focus on 'what was or 'what we could have done differently'. There is power in letting go and owning your pain to gain a deeper sense of self. God always has our best interest and wouldn't allow you to experience anything He knows you he hasn't equipped you to overcome. You are worthy of receiving your all of your heart's desires. Let go and GROW.

Drawing on the work of Maria Montessori and contemporary virtue epistemologists such as Linda Zagzebski and Jason Baehr, Intellectual Agency and Virtue Epistemology presents a new interpretation of the nature of intellectual agency and its associated virtues.
Focusing on Montessori's interpretation of specific virtues including sensory attentiveness, intellectual love and intellectual humility, it discusses why these are virtues, why one can be held responsible for them, and how they relate to each other. Moreover, it considers pedagogical implications of considering these capacities to be virtues. Intellectual Agency and Virtue Epistemology not only reveals the value of seeing Montessori as a virtue epistemologist, it encourages educationalists to take seriously the cultivation of intellectual virtues as an important part of the education of children.

Описание: 1968 Georgia. He's the quarterback. She's his tutor. That's all they can be. But they yearn to be more. Plumville, Georgia, had an order to its way of life, and few ever upset it. Benjamin Drummond is heir to all Plumville had to offer-wealth, good looks, and a promising career as a future state judge. As a graduating senior at a local college, he's poised for success, if only he can keep his grades up. With the distractions of playing football, being in a fraternity, and having his pick of the women on campus, he has little incentive to study-until his assigned tutor turns out to be a black girl from his past who's never left his mind...or heart. Coralee Simmons is determined to make it out of Plumville with a diploma in her hand and dignity in her stride, despite a social climate determined to stifle both. And with her family and friends supporting her each step of the way, Coralee knows she will go far. Yet when her mentor offers her a tutoring opportunity to increase her edge, she's suddenly reunited with the white boy who'd meant too much to her as a child...and still does even now. Set during the turbulent 1960s, Benjamin and Coralee experience change in a community unprepared and unwelcoming of it. How can a relationship rekindle and bloom under such adversity, free from the battle for Plumville's status quo? This novel is a 2016 LIBRARY JOURNAL Self-E selection.
