Affective Teacher Education is one of the first books to provide
teacher educators, classroom teachers, school administrators, and
teacher candidates with research and recommendations related to
affective education. All teachers want to become professional
educators; they want find satisfaction and reward in their chosen
careers. Likewise, all teachers want to show their students in all
grade levels and in all subject areas how to acquire, apply, and
appreciate appropriate dispositions or outlooks related to the
course content and as a community of learners. This book guides and
supports teachers to fulfill these two goals. Each chapter explores
a different aspect of affective education and offers the reader
useful suggestions to prompt self-assessment, professional
conversations, and developmental activities. Affective Teacher
Education helps teachers to visualize teaching and learning
holistically, linking the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that
students need to know, do, and feel, to achieve in school and
become lifelong learners.

In this accessible book, David Johnson examines the Christian
spiritual life using the "Book of Confessions" of the Presbyterian
Church (U.S.A.) as a guide. He demonstrates how the "Book of
Confessions" can help us understand what it means to be a Christian
and how one goes about living a Christian life. Johnson uses the
rubrics of faith, love, and hope to ground our understanding of
spirituality and help us develop disciplines for our spiritual
lives. These disciplines include listening and speaking, worship
and Sabbath, giving and stewardship, patience and planning, and
reconciling. Three appendices give concrete guidelines for engaging
in Bible reading and prayer--the two central spiritual disciplines
of the Reformed tradition. Johnson's helpful book invites laity and
clergy to participate in the blessings and joys of a Reformed
vision of the spiritual life.
In the first study of its kind, David W. Johnson's Watsuji on
Nature reconstructs the astonishing philosophy of nature of Watsuji
Tetsuro (1889-1960), situating it in relation both to his reception
of the thought of Heidegger and to his renewal of core ontological
positions in classical Confucian and Buddhist philosophy. Johnson
shows that for Watsuji we have our being in the lived experience of
nature, one in which nature and culture compose a tightly
interwoven texture called fudo. By fully unfolding Watsuji's novel
and radical claim that this is a setting that is neither fully
external to human subjectivity nor merely a product of it, this
book also sets out what still remains unthought in this concept, as
well as in the relational structure that underwrites it. Johnson
argues that what remains unarticulated is nothing less than the
recovery of a reenchanted conception of nature and an elucidation
of the wide-ranging implications of a relational conception of the
self for questions about the disclosive character of experience,
the distinction between fact and value, and the possibility of a
place-based ecological ethics. In an engagingly lucid and deft
analysis, Watsuji on Nature radically expands our appreciation of
twentieth-century Japanese philosophy and shows what it has to
offer to a global philosophical conversation.
Carter and Ralph Stanley--the Stanley Brothers--are comparable
to Bill Monroe and Flatt & Scruggs as important members of the
earliest generation of bluegrass musicians. In this first biography
of the brothers, author David W. Johnson documents that Carter
(1925-1966) and Ralph (b. 1927) were equally important contributors
to the tradition of old-time country music. Together from 1946 to
1966, the Stanley Brothers began their careers performing in the
schoolhouses of southwestern Virginia and expanded their popularity
to the concert halls of Europe.
In order to re-create this post-World War II journey through the
changing landscape of American music, the author interviewed Ralph
Stanley, the family of Carter Stanley, former members of the Clinch
Mountain Boys, and dozens of musicians and friends who knew the
Stanley Brothers as musicians and men. The late Mike Seeger allowed
Johnson to use his invaluable 1966 interviews with the brothers.
Notable old-time country and bluegrass musicians such as George
Shuffler, Lester Woodie, Larry Sparks, and the late Wade Mainer
shared their recollections of Carter and Ralph.
"Lonesome Melodies" begins and ends in the mountains of
southwestern Virginia. Carter and Ralph were born there and had an
early publicity photograph taken at the Cumberland Gap. In December
1966, pallbearers walked up Smith Ridge to bring Carter to his
final resting place. In the intervening years, the brothers
performed thousands of in-person and radio shows, recorded hundreds
of songs and tunes for half a dozen record labels, and tried to
keep pace with changing times while remaining true to the spirit of
old-time country music. As a result of their accomplishments, they
have become a standard of musical authenticity.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection affects more than 170 million
people worldwide and is recognised as both a cause and consequence
of end-stage kidney failure. The incidence rates of HCV infection
are considerably higher in dialysis patients than in the general
population and are 3-fold higher in haemodialysis patients than
peritoneal dialysis patients. Risk factors for HCV infection in
dialysis patients include blood transfusion number, haemodialysis
duration, dialysis unit HCV prevalence, prior kidney
transplantation, intravenous drug use, male gender and older age.
This book reviews the epidemiology of HCV in dialysis and discusses
strategies for screening, transmission prevention, treatment and
evaluation/management prior to kidney transplantation.
Why do people make decisions based on their own perspective without
considering alternative points of view? Do differences of opinion
enhance or obstruct critical thinking? Is it wise to seek out
people who disagree with you and listen to their objections to your
conclusions? Focusing on the theory, research, and application of
constructive controversy, this book analyses the nature of
disagreement among members of decision-making groups, project
teams, academic study groups, and other groups that are involved in
solving problems. Johnson demonstrates that this theory is one of
the most effective methods of enhancing creativity and innovation,
decision making, teaching, and political discourse. The book
includes entertaining and intriguing examples of how constructive
controversy has been used in a variety of historical periods to
advance creativity, achieve innovations, and guide democracies. It
will be welcomed by students in the fields of social psychology,
management/business studies, education, and communication studies.
