Same, Different, Equal: Rethinking Single-Sex Schooling
2004
This book offers a reasoned educational and legal argument
supporting single-sex schooling especially for disadvantaged
minority students. Drawing on court decisions, history, educational
research, and philosophical and psychological theories on sameness
and difference, the author corrects many of the misconceptions
surrounding single-sex education. In doing so, she shifts the
debate from the merits of the approach to the broader question of
how best to provide an appropriate education for girls and boys,
rich and poor, based not on group stereotypes but on informed
understandings of individual needs as they at times coalesce around
gender. |

well informed. SustainAble will provide the information
they need to be ahead of the curve on sustainability issues, inform

Modernist Humanism and the Men of
1914: Joyce, Lewis, Pound, and Eliot
2011
An original approach to modernism in which skepticism and
pessimism are usurped by humanist values and virtues. Modernist
Humanism and the Men of 1914 is a defense of literary
modernism that recognizes for the first time that the deepest goal
of high modernism is to establish a renewed humanism for the 20th
century. Recent critiques have tended to diminish modernism's
literary standing by emphasizing the reactionary politics of the
period and connecting the literature to those developments as
complicit or at least parallel. In his incisive readings of four
pillars of high modernism (James Joyce, Wyndham Lewis, Ezra Pound
and T. S. Eliot) Stephen Sicari returns the focus instead to the
rich and complex imaginative texts themselves for a fuller reading
that rescues these works from the narrow political contexts of
postmodern criticism. |

St. John’s College of Liberal Arts and
Sciences, Philosophy Reforming Philosophy: A Victorian
Debate on Science and Society
2007
The Victorian period in Britain was an “age of reform.” It is
therefore not surprising that two of the era’s most eminent
intellectuals described themselves as reformers. Both William
Whewell and John Stuart Mill believed that by reforming philosophy
they could affect social and political change. But their divergent
visions of this societal transformation led to a sustained and
spirited controversy that covered morality, politics, science and
economics. Situating their debate within the larger context of
Victorian society and its concerns, Reforming Philosophy
shows how two very different men captured the intellectual spirit
of the day and engaged the attention of other scientists and
philosophers, including the young Charles Darwin. |

Four Remarkable Friends Who Transformed Science and Changed the
World
2011
In 1812, four extraordinary men met as students at
Cambridge University: Charles Babbage (who designed the first
computer), John Herschel (an astronomer who also co-invented
photography), William Whewell (who not only coined the word
"scientist" but also created mathematical economics and the science
of the tides) and Richard Jones (a country curate who shaped
economic science). At breakfast meetings held after the compulsory
chapel services on Sunday mornings, the four resolved to bring
about a revolution in science. The Philosophical Breakfast Club
shows how, over the next 60 years, their friendship and brilliance
enabled them to transform science and help create the modern
world. |
