Gott oder Darwin?

Widersprechen sich die Bilder der Religionen und die Theorien der Naturwissenschaften oder sind sie komplementare Darstellungsweisen einer Wirklichkeit? Wahrend Naturwissenschaften beschreiben, wie sich die Welt entwickelt hat und kausal den Wirklichkeitsprozess erklaren, geben Religionen jeweils eine Antwort darauf, wozu die Welt geschaffen wurde, und beschreiben sie teleologisch.

Das Buch Gott oder Darwin?" spannt einen Bogen, der eine konstruktive Auseinandersetzung von Schopfung und Evolution ermoglichen soll. Die Beitrage namhafter Vertreter der Natur- und Geisteswissenschaften belegen, dass Schopfung und Evolution keine Gegensatze sein mussen, aber verschiedene Intentionen verfolgen und Bilder pragen. Trotz dieser Unterschiedlichkeit verbindet sie die Erkenntnis, dass Grenzuberschreitungen zu Verzerrungen fuhren, die den jeweiligen Anspruchen nicht gerecht werden.

Evolution und Schopfung im konstruktiven Dialog"

Warum werden Roboter oft als bedrohlich empfunden? Konnen kunstliche Systeme Emotionen und Bewusstsein haben? Die Autoren gehen von der These aus, dass die Literatur- und Geistesgeschichte uns helfen kann, aktuelle Entwicklungen der Robotik unvoreingenommen zu betrachten. Denn ob es um mittelalterliche Mythen, androide Roboter der Romantik, die Aufklarung oder die Entwicklung der kunstlichen Intelligenz geht, stets stellt sich die Frage nach dem, was der Mensch ist, was sein Bewusstsein ausmacht und was ihn von anderen Wesen unterscheidet."

This is book one of a series of three books. The series takes students on an interdisciplinary cross content journey entitled, Creating Art for All Ages. Each book provides experiences in language arts, social studies, math, and art as students investigate ancient and modern civilizations. Industry and Imagination in Ancient and Modern Civilizations is the third book of the series and examines the generations of the Industrial Revolution, society during WWI and WWII, and Modern and Contemporary times. During the era of the Industrial Revolution, the role of the artist transformed as the patronage changed and advancements in photography were able to portray likenesses. The artist sought new avenues by using art as an expressive tool. As time progressed, artistic expression navigated the art into innovative, imaginative, and unique styles. Art became whatever the artist intended it to be.

Now in its sixth edition, Merryl Goldberg's popular volume Arts Integration presents a comprehensive guide to integrating the arts throughout the K-12 curriculum, blending contemporary theory with classroom practice. Beyond teaching about arts education as a subject in and of itself, the text explains how teachers may integrate the arts-literary, media, visual, and performing-throughout the subject curriculum, offering a wealth of strategies, techniques, and examples. Promoting ways to develop children's creativity and critical thinking while also developing communications skills and fostering collaboration and community activism, Arts Integration explores assessment and the arts, engaging English Language Learners, and using the arts to teach academic skills in science, math, history, and more. This text is ideal as a primer on arts integration and a foundational support for teaching, learning, and assessment, especially within the context of multicultural and multilingual classrooms. In-depth discussions of the role of arts integration in meeting the goals of Title I programs, including academic achievement, student engagement, school climate, and parental involvement, are woven throughout the text, as is the role of the arts in nurturing Creative Youth Development work and its importance to the community. This revised and updated sixth edition combines a social justice emphasis with templates for developing lesson plans and units, updated coverage on STEAM education, along with brand new examples, case studies, and research. An expanded range of eResources is also available for this edition, including links to further resources readings, additional imagery and videos, and sample lesson plans.

By applying philosophical and historical perspectives to drawing instruction, this volume demonstrates how diverse teaching methods contribute to cognitive and holistic development applicable within and beyond the visual arts. Offering a new perspective on the art and science of drawing, this text reveals the often-unrecognized benefits that drawing can have on the human mind, and thus argues for the importance of drawing instruction despite, and even due to contemporary digitalization. Given the predominance of visual information and digital media, visual thinking in and through drawing may be an essential skill for the future. As such, the book counters recent declines in drawing instruction to propose five Paradigms for teaching drawing - as design, as seeing, as experience and experiment, as expression, and as a visual language - with exemplary curricula for pre-K12 art and general education, pre-professional programs across the visual arts, and continuing education. With the aid of instructional examples, this volume dispels the misconception of drawing as a talent reserved for the artistically gifted and posits it as a teachable skill that can be learned by all. This text will be of primary interest to researchers, scholars, and doctoral students with interests in drawing theory and practice, cognition in the arts, positive psychology, creativity theory, as well as the philosophy and history of arts education. Aligning with contemporary trends such as Design Thinking, STEAM, and Graphicacy, the text will also have appeal to visual arts educators at all levels, and other educators involved in arts integration.

One late spring morning the American artist Jackson Pollock began work on the canvas that would ultimately come to be known as Number 1, 1950 ("Lavender Mist").
Award-winning authors Jan Greenberg and Sandra Jordan use this moment as the departure point for a unique picture book about a great painter and the way in which he worked. Their lyrical text, drawn from Pollock's own comments and those made by members of his immediate circle, is perfectly complemented by vibrant watercolors by Robert Andrew Parker that honor his spirit of the artist without imitating his paintings.
A photographic reproduction of the finished painting, a short biography, a bibliography, and a detailed list of notes and sources that are fascinating reading in their own right make this an authoritative as well as beautiful book for readers of all ages.
