This book explores four interrelated themes: rethinking civic
education in light of the diversity of U.S. society; re-examining
these notions in an increasingly interconnected global context;
re-considering the ways that civic education is researched and
practiced; and taking stock of where we are currently through use
of an historical understanding of civic education. There is a gap
between theory and practice in social studies education: while
social studies researchers call for teachers to nurture skills of
analysis, decision-making, and participatory citizenship, students
in social studies classrooms are often found participating in
passive tasks (e.g., quiz and test-taking, worksheet completion,
listening to lectures) rather than engaging critically with the
curriculum. Civic Education for Diverse Citizens in Global Times,
directed at students, researchers and practitioners of social
studies education, seeks to engage this divide by offering a
collection of work that puts practice at the center of research and
theory.
The book that started it all Little House in the Big Woods is
the first book in Laura Ingalls Wilder's treasured Little House
series, which was based on her life growing up as an American
pioneer. This edition features Garth Williams' interior art in
vibrant full color.
Told from four-year-old Laura's point of view, this story begins
in 1871 in a little log cabin on the edge of the Big Woods of
Wisconsin. Laura lives in the little house with her Pa, her Ma, her
sisters Mary and Carrie, and their trusty dog, Jack.
Pioneer life is sometimes hard for the family, since they must
grow or catch all their own food as they get ready for the cold
winter. But it is also exciting as Laura and her family celebrate
Christmas with homemade toys and treats, do the spring planting,
bring in the harvest, and make their first trip into town. And
every night they are safe and warm in their little house, with the
happy sound of Pa's fiddle sending Laura and her sisters off to
sleep.
And so begins Laura Ingalls Wilder's beloved story of a pioneer
girl and her family. The nine Little House books have been
cherished by generations of readers as both a unique glimpse into
America's frontier history and a heartwarming, unforgettable
story.

In an accessible and thoughtful manner, this anthology--an update
of Social and Political Theory: Classical Readings
(1998)--introduces students to the key classic texts in social
thought. In the second edition, Michael Kimmel focuses more
specifically on the discipline of sociology, rather than melding
classical sociological and political theories in one volume. Taking
a serious look at the canonical texts, he presents a diverse range
of thinkers who were critical to the development of sociological
theory and offers a more inclusive classical canon that is informed
by both the historical record and the needs of contemporary
students.
Many of the classical theorists whose works are included here were
much more influential than the canon suggested. For example, the
writings of Mary Wollstonecraft, Frederick Douglass, Margaret
Fuller, and W.E.B Du Bois were widely disseminated and discussed in
their time, yet they were pushed to the margins of the canon,
declared to be derivative or second-rate. In attempting to set the
record a bit straighter, Kimmel restores these and other forgotten
thinkers to the positions they once held. The questions they posed
are among the most vital theoretical and political questions of our
era, evidence that classical social and political theory continues
to speak to new generations of students about the issues that most
affect their lives.
Features new to the second edition:
* Selections of key texts by Auguste Comte (Positive Philosophy of
Auguste Comte); Edmund Burke (Reflections on the Revolution in
France); John Dewey (Democracy and Education); and Elsie Clews
Parsons (Women in Public Life)
* Stronger disciplinary focus withinsociology
Classical Social Theory, Second Edition, is an ideal text for
courses in the theory of sociology, the history of social theory,
the history of political thought, and western philosophy.
This series covers all the key areas of looking after our bodies
and minds and offers practical advice on making the right choices
in everyday situations. This title looks at what constitutes as
exercise and why it is a necessity for keeping both our bodies and
minds healthy.
