Cut through the noise and make better college and career choices
This book is about addressing the college-choosing problem. The
rankings, metrics, analytics, college visits, and advice that we
use today to help us make these decisions are out of step with the
progress individual students are trying to make. They don't give
students and families the information and context they need to make
such a high-stakes decision about whether and where to get an
education. Choosing College strips away the noise to help you
understand why you're going to school. What's driving you? What are
you trying to accomplish? Once you know why, the book will help you
make better choices. The research in this book illustrates that
choosing a school is complicated. By constructing more than 200
mini-documentaries of how students chose different postsecondary
educational experiences, the authors explore the motivations for
how and why people make the decisions that they do at a much
deeper, causal level. By the end, you'll know why you're going and
what you're really chasing. The book: Identifies the five different
Jobs for which students hire postsecondary education Allows you to
see your true options for what's next Offers guidance for how to
successfully choose your pathway Illuminates how colleges and
entrepreneurs can build better experiences for each Job The authors
help readers understand not what job students want out of college,
but what "Job" students are hiring college to do for them.

This Children's book called "If I Had A Farm," is about a young boy
who has a dream of a farm. He wishes for certain items and animals
on this farm, from silly goats to beehives. There is one page that
shows a crossed out sign for Gmo's in a produce dept. The boy says
" I only buy healthy foods you see ...(pointing at the Organic
produce) The other foods don't taste as good to me ...(pointing at
the GMO produce) The story line rolls with a poetic pose. The
Author wrote this story because of the love of farms and how
important farming is in today's environment. Without farming we
would not be able to survive in today's world. This story shows how
a little boy and in his need for a farm would be the perfect start
for anybody on how to be somewhat self sufficient. All of the
pictures were carved on 6x7 pieces of cedar wood and then painted
with acrylic paints. The Author and illustrator wanted to show a
3rd dimensional view on each page of the book through the carving
of each picture. The reader will notice the grain of the wood come
out in detail on each of the 29 pages of this book.

Although Jesus called on his first followers to welcome children in
his name and to become like children, the lives of the first
Christian children have remained in the shadows. This book explores
the hidden lives of children at the origins of Christianity. It
draws on insights gained from comparisons of children's experiences
in ancient Judaism and the Graeco-Roman world. The authors also
engage a vast body of early Christian literature, extending from
the New Testament to sermons, letters, theological treatises,
poetry, pedagogical manuals, and historiography in Greek, Latin,
Syriac, and other languages of the early Christian world. The
guiding question of the book focuses on how Christianity changed
the lives of children in the ancient world. Some of the other
questions examined by the authors include: Did boys and girls both
receive a formal education? Were Christian children slaves? How did
they participate in manual labor? What kinds of games did children
play? How did children become a part of the Christian church? This
book breaks new ground in the study of early Christianity by
examining the challenges to Christian childhood in the first
centuries of the Church. The authors look at the violence
perpetrated against children, and they consider the effects and
opportunities arising from Christians' experiences of martyrdom and
from the increased Christian interest in various forms of
asceticism, including celibacy. The book brings into the open the
lives of early Christian children and throws much needed light on
what has been a largely neglected area of study in early
Christianity.
The Life of Peter the Iberian by John Rufus records the ascetic
struggle of a fifth-century anti-Chalcedonian bishop of Mayyuma,
Palestine. Cornelia Horn presents a historical-critical study of
the only substantial anti-Chalcedonian witness to the history of
the conflict in Palestine and analyses the formative period of
fifth-century anti-Chalcedonian hierarchy, theology, and its
ascetic expression. Important themes are pilgrimage as an ascetic
ideal and asceticism as source of theological authority.
Archaeological data on many places in the Levant and textual
sources in Syriac, Coptic, Greek, Armenian, and Georgian are
examined. This book contributes to our understanding of the origins
of anti-Chalcedonian theology and the influence of asceticism on
its development, the Christian topography of the Levant, and the
history of the anti-Chalcedonian movement in Palestine.
This important volume takes stock of the debate, neither demonising
nor celebrating the for-profit sector, to understand what it takes
for for-profits to promote quality and cost effectiveness at scale.
Contributors address how policymakers and other education
stakeholders can create an environment where the power of
for-profit innovation and investment is leveraged to better serve
students. The role that private enterprise can and should play in
American education needs to be brought to the forefront of reform
discussions. Editors Hess and Horn move beyond heated rhetoric to
offer a thoughtful and probing analysis that will enable
stakeholders to craft a viable future for public education.
