The Context and Character of Three Magnet Schools

By: Mary Haywood Metz

Back in print for use in your courses, this classic text features a new introduction by the author that situates the book in the context of present-day educational debates. This historic study analyzes the organizational and political pressures that combined to make three magnet schools distinctive social environments, a rare glimpse at the critical processes with which teachers and students in both "regular" schools and schools of choice must constantly struggle. In her new introduction, Metz discusses many of today's hot topics, including school choice, curricular reform, and school equity. She also looks at what has transpired in the school district and the schools since her study was first published two decades ago. The depth of detail in these case studies, along with the clear and systematic discussion of each school in terms of the theoretical framework provided by the author, make this a sought-after textbook for educational policy and school organization courses.

Government of The One

How Your Can Change the World

By: Mary Lee Durham

Have you ever wanted to change the world? You hold the power to do just that, but you must discover the keys that open the doors. Enter the real world where you don't have to fantasize to become a hero—you only need to unlock the power within to fulfill your own destiny. Through Government of the One, you can understand how to take control of your thoughts and actions. Then you will have confidence to change not only yourself, but influence others around you. The rippling effects will help to bring change to the family, the community, the state, the nation, and even the world. The cover graphics are symbols of personal characteristics. The constitution symbolizes a government of individual rights and responsibilities. The quill pointing to We the People emphasizes that any government is composed of the collective One. Therefore, government must always start with the One. The cherry wood table is light in color when harvested, but will darken into a richer color as it ages. It easily absorbs other stains and is a medium- hard wood which makes it strong, yet pliable. It is symbolic of our journey through life and the transformation which takes place over the years. We absorb different philosophies as we develop and that colors or influences our lives. We learn to be strong, but flexible when change is needed. The gavel represents justice that must exist for individual or national government to thrive. The antique inkwell is a symbol of time-tested standards which hold true in any age. The gold letters of the title reflect the fire within that drives us to accomplish our goals.

Judicial Impeachment

None Called for Justice

By: Mary L. Volcansek

Impeachment by the House and conviction by the Senate are the sole means of removing presidents and other federal officials from office. The congressional power to do so had been used sparingly until the early 1980s, when three federal judges were removed by the Senate in almost as many years. Through extensive use of original transcripts, Mary Volcansek analyzes the criminal and congressional proceedings that led to the Senate's conviction and removal of U.S. Judges Harry Claiborne (Nevada), Walter Nixon (Mississippi), and Alcee Hastings (Florida). Claiborne and Nixon both had already been convicted of felonies, yet they demanded impeachment and trial rather than resign their judicial appointments. They and Hastings portrayed themselves as victims of vendettas, claims that altered little when the Senate considered their cases. Volcansek explores various political and legal explanations for the rise in impeachments, among them the Judicial Conduct Act of 1980; the Public Integrity Office of the U.S. Department of Justice; partisanship and ideology; and judicial corruption. She also shows how the cases of Claiborne, Hastings, and Nixon are more than studies in judicial misconduct: the events leading to their Senate convictions, she is convinced, allow evaluation of how law enforcement, the Judicial Conduct Act, impeachment, and politics fit together. Finally, she considers the impeachments in the context of the competing ideals of judicial accountability and independence, suggesting that a type of special counsel be used to investigate alleged judicial misbehavior as a means of stemming misconduct while insulating the judiciary from executive or partisan interference.

Humility Matters

Toward Purity of Heart

By: Mary Margaret Funk

Humility Matters makes the claims that humility is for a disciple of Jesus Christ what enlightenment is for a Buddhist, realization for a Hindu, surrender for a Muslim, and righteousness for a Jew. It is the unmistakable character of one who has accepted the vocation to undertake the spiritual journey. It is at the core of our experience of life in Christ. Meg Funk guides readers deeper into a life of humility by following the movement of what the early Christians called the four renunciations: to renounce our former way of life, our thoughts of our former way of life, our self-made thoughts of God, and our self-made thoughts of ourselves. With the help of the compelling examples of St. Benedict, St. Teresa of Jesus, and St. Therese of Lisieux, Funk shows the way to ongoing conversion of mind, heart, and way of life. Mary Margaret Funk is a Benedictine nun of Our Lady of Grace Monastery, Beech Grove, Indiana. From 1994 through 2004, she served as executive director of Monastic Interreligious Dialogue, which fosters dialogue among monastics of the world's religions. In addition to the volumes of the Matters Series, she is the author of Islam Is... An Experience of Dialogue and Devotion and Into the Depths: A Journey of Loss and Vocation.
