Syntactic Change in Welsh

A Study of the Loss of the Verb-second

By: David W. E. Willis

Scholars have often been puzzled by the fact that the basic word-order rule of Welsh seems to have changed twice in the last 1000 years. David Willis explores how and why these changes have taken place. He examines the relationship between the literary and spoken language throughout the history of Welsh, points out similarities between the rules of earlier Welsh and other European languages, and looks at the forces that cause languages to change over time.

The Ennead Nexus

The Ennead Nexus

By: David Glicker

The Ennead Nexus begins and ends at edges. It is the story of a weird, dangerous, reparative journey into the beyond, sailing into mysterious mists and alternate dimensions, passing mentally and physically conditioned boundaries, wandering beyond the thick exclusive walls of the self into the inclusive openness of the non-self for nine connected souls. The first chapter, San Francisco, summer 1998, spills the reader over the rim into visionary dimensions. The last brings to closure a long Pied Piper journey of deadly hide-and-seek that culminates, as intended, in a healing. The reader follows a chase through the breadth of the western and northern United States and Canada then Europe, North Africa, and the ends of the earth to a boundary beyond which European sailors never ventured until the fifteenth century. These are individuals vibrating at a higher level of consciousness and will and moving beyond personal borders. The thrust of the narrative recounts a synchronous surreal journey of several weeks as individuals magnetically and intuitively coalesce into a group with a unified sense of direction. These are distinct individuals with deep understandings, homogeneous insights, and a dutiful collective sense. They are also a densely woven and shared fabric of lifetimes. This group and the greater Group of which they are a part consider their existential actions beneficial to both mankind and all life-forms, certainly bountiful Mother Earth herself. In an unorthodox sense, The Ennead Nexus is a love story. Individuals, becoming one, aware of a new relationship and continuity and the need to repair the total unit so as to exponentially progress, evolve into wholeness: a greater dynamic, becoming a more powerfully positive cosmic force. They feed each other. This is love: a creative quantum unity.

Using Educational Criticism and Connoisseurship for Qualitative Research

By: P Bruce Uhrmacher,Christy McConnell Moroye,David J. Flinders

Using Educational Criticism and Connoisseurship for Qualitative Research develops the practical elements of educational criticism, a form of qualitative inquiry that takes its lead from the work that critics have done in fields such as the visual arts, music, literature, drama and dance. Written by leading scholars in the field of curriculum studies, and research methods, this book explores the interpretive and evaluative aspects of educational criticism, through which the educational critic offers means for understanding and attributing significance to educational events. Featuring chapter-by-chapter activities, guiding questions, and key terms, this volume addresses matters of study design, pedagogy, and trends in doing educational criticism and connoisseurship. By offering a uniquely in-depth account of this research method, Using Educational Criticism and Connoisseurship for Qualitative Research is accessible to researchers and students in curriculum and instruction, educational leadership, and higher education.

An Unbroken Educational Apartheid Legacy

Chicago's South Suburban Predominantly Black Communities of Color.

By: David E. Morgan Ph.D.

This is a thought-provoking book on the black-white academic achievement gap in Chicago’s predominantly black communities of color and what highly effective school boards can do to change it. In this book, the reader will be powerfully enlightened by a civil and human rights debate that calls for effective leadership in our schools, beginning with effective school boards. The primary agenda of effective school boards is raising student achievement performance levels and engaging the school district community to attain that goal. These instructive analyses of effective school board leadership builds on the research and wisdom of great leaders. Simultaneously, it develops a breath of fresh air for school reformers who seek to implement a new model and escape the insanity and pathology inherent in school board dysfunctions and violations of our civil and human rights which prevents progress in Chicago’s south suburban communities of color. In both highs and lows of awesome moments, as educational reform leaders and school board members, we are in a strategic leadership position to help school boards carry out their essential responsibilities for creating equity and excellence in public education. In doing so, highly effective school leaders can team with our school board leaders to lead our school district communities in preparing all students to succeed in a rapidly changing global society. School board members doing the same things over and over again and then expecting different results in academic outcomes is the definition for insanity. Education is freedom. In an era of mass educational apartheid with its consequent mass incarceration of blacks that has surpassed the enforced chattel bondage of slavery’s peak numbers in 1860, this book addresses a subject that is critically essential, timely, and in need of immediate attention for the security, success, and ultimate survival of black America. As the problems of the academic under-achievement gap is addressed in this book, it is also essential that school boards, educators, and community and national leaders accept reality, to view the problem in its true perspective, to contemplate it as it is, in providing essential solutions toward removing limiting and limited school boards’ dysfunctions, obstructions, and other barriers to academic achievement in effective school board leadership. Supporting educational excellence will thereby produce more African American scholars in mathematics, science, and in many other disciplines. This book will provide information and focus on some key action areas that successful school boards in America and around the world have focused their attention on: Vision, Standards, Assessment, Resource Alignment, Climate, Collaboration, and Continuous Academic Improvement.

Cambridge Theology in the Nineteenth Century

Enquiry, Controversy and Truth

By: David M. Thompson

Many books have been written about nineteenth-century Oxford theology, but what was happening in Cambridge? This book provides the first continuous account of what might be called 'the Cambridge theological tradition', by discussing its leading figures from Richard Watson and William Paley, through Herbert Marsh and Julius Hare, to the trio of Lightfoot, Westcott and Hort. It also includes a chapter on nonconformists such as Robertson Smith, P.T. Forsyth and T.R. Glover. The analysis is organised around the defences that were offered for the credibility of Christianity in response to hostile and friendly critics. In this period the study of theology was not yet divided into its modern self-contained areas. A critical approach to scripture was taken for granted, and its implications for ecclesiology, the understanding of salvation and the social implications of the Gospel were teased out (in Hort's phrase) through enquiry and controversy as a way to discover truth. Cambridge both engaged with German theology and responded positively to the nineteenth-century 'crisis of faith'.
