This landmark text was one of the first to introduce and analyze
contemporary concepts of curriculum that emerged from the
Reconceptualization of curriculum studies in the 1970s and 1980s.
This new edition brings readers up to date on the major research
themes (postmodernism,ecological, hermeneutics, aesthetics and
arts-based research, race, class, gender, sexuality, and classroom
practices) within the historical development of the field from the
1950s to the present. Like the previous editions, it is unique in
providing a comprehensive overview in a relatively short and highly
accessible text. Provocative and powerful narratives (both
biography and autoethnography) throughout invite readers to engage
the complex theories in a personal conversation. School-based
examples allow readers to make connections to schools and society,
teacher education, and professional development of teachers.

Perhaps not since Ralph Tyler's Basic Principles of Curriculum and
Instruction (1949) has a book communicated the field as completely
as Understanding Curriculum. From historical discourses to breaking
developments in feminist, poststructuralist, and racial theory,
including chapters on political theory, phenomenology, aesthetics,
theology, international developments, and a lengthy chapter on
institutional concerns, the American curriculum field is here. It
will be an indispensable textbook for undergraduate and graduate
courses alike.
This collection of essays, written over a period of years,
entertains the shared place of psyche and poetics. Dr. Slattery has
explored the manner in which the psyche is poetic and how poetry is
deeply psycho-mythical. Influenced in part by the archetypal
psychologist James Hillman's idea of the "poetic basis of mind"
that comprises the soul's foundation, Slattery's writing moves into
the interactive field in which myth is the ground for both psyche
and poetry. The essays develop a further understanding of what has
been called mythopoiesis, the fundamental myth-making and shaping
capacity of the soul.

Enter the biblically historic world of Simon of Cyrene, where a
world of grief, revenge, and Dennis Patrick Slattery and tender
devotion awaits. There, families are torn apart, marauding soldiers
enact their violent ways, and random events suddenly disrupt life.
Along this journey there will be encounters with Pontius Pilate,
Veronica, Mary, and the sons of Simon, Rufus and Alexander, as they
seek to grasp the mystery of a compassionate Nazarene, serenely
putting into practice the kingdom of God.
Forced to carry the cross of Jesus, Simon of Cyrene, a little
known biblical figure, reluctantly yields to his task. At the same
time, Simon struggles with personal loss and a fiery desire for
revenge. In Simon's story, the vulnerability of our own journeys is
laid bare as we cross paths with a simple wooden cross and a
redemptive twist of fate.
In Simon's Crossing, this ordinary man, from Cyrene, steps
boldly out of the pages of the Bible. He senses that his own life
depends on the Nazarene staggering just ahead of him. Persuaded by
sacrificial love, we too discover what it is like to cross over
into the imaginal power of a story well-told, where salvation lies
close at hand. Simon's story compels us to carry on as well.
