A Mission for Development

Utah Universities and the Point Four Program in Iran

By: Richard Garlitz

A Mission for Development tells the remarkable story of faculty from three Utah universities who lived and worked in Iran as part of the Point Four Program. Using the experience of these advisors, the book reexamines the rise and fall of the US-Iranian alliance and explores the roles that American universities played in international development during the Cold War. The Point Four Program sponsored American technical assistance for developing countries during the 1950s—an American Cold War strategy to cultivate friendly governments and economic development in countries purportedly susceptible to Communist influence. Between 1951 and 1964, advisors from Brigham Young University sought to modernize Iranian public education, experts from Utah State University worked to improve agricultural production, and doctors and nurses from the University of Utah helped with the Iranian government’s rural health initiatives. In A Mission for Development, author Richard Garlitz offers a critical and clear-eyed assessment of the challenges the Utahns faced and the contributions they made to Iranian development. The book also reexamines the Iranian political crisis of the early 1950s and the overthrow of Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh through the eyes of the Utah advisors. A Mission for Development provides rare insight into the university role in international development and will be of interest to historians and policy makers.

Selected Writings of Richard McKeon, Volume Two

Culture, Education, and the Arts

By: Richard P. McKeon

Richard McKeon was a philosopher of extraordinary creativity who brought profoundly original ideas to bear on more standard ways of thinking and learning. A classicist, medievalist, and revolutionary intellectual, he fashioned an approach to philosophy as a plural conversation among varied traditions of thought, epochs, and civilizations. This second volume of McKeon's selected works demonstrates his approach to inquiry and practice in culture, education, and the arts. Together, the writings in this book show how McKeon reinvented the ancient arts of rhetoric, grammar, logic, and dialectic for the new circumstances of a global culture. In essays on creation and criticism, for instance, rhetoric is distinguished from grammar and shown to be the master art of invention, judgment, and pluralistic interpretation. Writings on themes of culture, meanwhile, explore the self-invention of mankind as justification for the arts, the development of the humanities, and the organization of the sciences. In the closing essays on education and philosophy, McKeon considers the implications of his ideas for the future of the liberal arts and higher learning.

Mindware

By: Richard Nisbett

Hayatımda beni en çok etkileyen düşünür, psikolog Richard Nisbett'tir. Dünya görüşümü ondan aldım." -Malcolm Gladwell, The New York Times Book Review "Kötü haber, dünya hakkındaki sezgisel düşünme yöntemlerimiz yanlış. İyi haber ise, doğrusunu bulmak zor değil. Bu konular hakkında hiç kimse psikolog Richard Nisbett kadar donanımlı değildir. Hayatını insan aklının yetersizliklerini anlamaya ve bunları düzeltmeye adamıştır. Bu kitap tüm üniversitelerde zorunlu ders olarak okutulmalı." -Daniel Gilbert, Mutluluk Üzerine Çeşitlemeler kitabının yazarı "Daha iyi düşünmek, daha iyi kararlar almak ve daha mutlu olmak isteyenler, dünyanın en saygın sosyal psikologlarından Richard Nisbett'in bu muhteşem kitabını okumalılar. Diğer bir deyişle, herkes bu kitabı okumalı, ne kadar erken o kadar iyi!" -Timothy Wilson, Redirect: Changing the Storiews We Live By kitabının yazarı "Mindware sizi daha iyi bir düşünür, yatırımcı, ebeveyn, tüketici ve lider yapacak. Her sayfasında şaşıracak ve zevk alacaksınız. Her ülke matematik eğitimine bir iki yıl ara verip vatandaşlarına bu kitabı okutmalı." -Jonathan Haidt, The Righteous Mind: Why Good People Are Divided by Politics and Religion kitabının yazarı "Yirminci ve yirmi birinci yüzyılın tüm psikoloji araştırmaları bu harika kitapta damıtılmış. Bu kitapla hayatınız hakkında daha iyi kararlar almak için dev bir adım atacaksınız." -Carol Dweck, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success kitabının yazarı

Evolving Insight

By: Richard W. Byrne

30 years after the publication of his seminal book, 'The Thinking Ape', Richard Byrne develops a new theory of the evolutionary origins of human abilities to understand the world of objects and other people. Defining mental representation and computation as 'insight', he reviews the evidence for this skill in the cognition of animals.
