Know your Southern history sothat you can help to defend it.
Ourheritage is too important to leave toYankee and Scalawag
revisionist.
In America today most are proud toboast of their cultural
backgroundwhether that be Irish, African, Hispanicor whatever. One
of the largest segmentsof the American population is attackedfor
displaying pride in their heritage, those with Confederate
ancestors. Weare immediately classified as racist if wedisplay the
battle flag that the Southernsoldier carried as he defended his
homeand family from invasion. We have madesome progress in
convincing othersthat our flag is meant to symbolizeheritage not
hate but we have further togo. The author is one Southerner
whofeels that his ancestors were like theirgrandfathers before
them, simply fightingfor their right to self government. Theydid
nothing to be pardoned for andwe do nothing wrong in being proudof
them just as other Americans takepride in their ancestors. The best
way todo this is to become familiar with ourhistory. In recent
years many academichistorians have joined the attacks ofour
Confederate heritage. We must notleave our history to be told by
Yankeeand Scalawag revisionist historians.Everyone who feels the
same way shouldread this outline of Southern history
forUnreconstructed Southerners.
This interdisciplinary analysis presents an innovative examination
of the nature of pride and humility, including all their slippery
nuances and points of connection. By combining insights from visual
art, literature, philosophy, religious studies, and psychology,
this volume adapts a complementary rather than an oppositional
approach to examine how pride and humility reinforce and inform one
another. This method produces a robust, substantial, and meaningful
description of these important concepts. The analysis takes into
account key elements of pride and humility, including self-esteem
and self-confidence, human interconnectedness, power's function and
limitations, and the role of fear. Shawn R. Tucker explores the
many inflections of these terms, inflections that cast them by
turns as positive or negative, emboldening or discouraging, and
salubrious or vicious depending upon the context and manner in
which they are used.

The seven deadly sins are pride, envy, anger, sloth, gluttony,
greed, and lust. The seven virtues are prudence, fortitude,
temperance, justice, faith, hope, and love. 'The Virtues and Vices
in the Arts' brings all of them together and for the first time
lays out their history in a collection of the most important
philosophical, religious, literary, and art-historical works.
Starting with the Greco-Roman and Judeo-Christian antecedents, this
anthology of source documents traces the tradition of virtues and
vices through its cultural apex during the medieval era and then
into their continued development and transformation from the
Renaissance to the present. This anthology includes excerpts of
Plato's 'Republic', the Bible, Dante's 'Purgatorio', and the
writings of Friedrich Nietzsche and C.S. Lewis. Also included are
works of art from medieval manuscripts; paintings by Giotto,
Veronese, and Paul Cadmus; prints by Brueghel; and a photograph by
Oscar Rejlander. What these works show is the vitality and richness
of the virtues and vices in the arts from their origins to the
present.
At the beginning of World War II, Catholic priests all across
Poland were arrested and sent to Nazi concentration camps. This
memoir by Fr. Henryk Maria Malak (1912-1987) is their story and
his. Through the author's eyes we witness the German invasion,
atrocities against the local population, and the roundup of priests
from the region. A series of ""transports"" takes them to Stutthof
and Grenzdorf in Poland, then to Sachsenhausen and Dachau in
Germany. Fr. Malak spent more than four years at Dachau, and he
describes camp life in detail. (His final chapters are entries from
a diary he kept secretly near the end of the war.) Some priests are
selected for medical experiments; others are sent on ""death
transports."" Throughout their ordeal they face brutal treatment,
hard labor, hunger, disease. Although many perish along the way,
all remain steadfast in their faith and in their loyalty to Poland.
Major General Isaac Ridgeway Trimble, one of the oldest and more
eccentric officers involved in the Civil War, made himself a
favorite of Stonewall Jackson through his courage and stubborn
energy. Born to a Quaker family, Trimble spent his childhood on the
American frontier. After graduating from West Point, he served in
the Old Army and then involved himself with the growing railroad
industry of the 1830s, living at the forefront of American
modernization. As the war began, he sided with the South, burning
railroad bridges north of Baltimore to deny Washington the support
of Union troops, and then moving to Virginia. He enlisted in the
Engineers and constructed battery emplacements. Commissioned
brigadier general in late 1861, Trimble distinguished himself at
Cross Keys, Gaines's Mill, Manassas, and Gettysburg; was involved
in the Baltimore riots; and spent time as a prisoner on Johnson's
Island. This biography covers Trimble's personal life and career
with both the railroad and the military. Simultaneously, it serves
as a case study of an American who chose to side with the South.
Before the war, Trimble traveled freely between states and showed
no early indication of a regional attachment. The work uses Abraham
Maslow's motivation model, the hierarchy of needs, to reconcile
Trimble's self-interest with his need to belong to a community. It
also raises various questions related to Southern history,
including community identity, modernization, and the concept of the
?New South.?
Blended Learning in Action supports teachers, teacher leaders, and
schools as they shift to a blended learning model. Blended learning
has several advantages over traditional instruction if technology
is used to effectively engage students in active learning both
inside the classroom and online. Blended learning allows for more
communication and collaboration both synchronously and
asynchronously, creates more opportunities for students to drive
their own learning, provides teachers with more time to work
one-on-one or in small groups to differentiate and personalize
learning while providing more timely feedback. This book includes
research, examples, anecdotes, and resources gathered from the
authors' work as well as interviews with teachers and school
leaders using different blended models.
Blended Learning expert Catlin Tucker provides a clear path for
professional learning that is embedded in the school's culture,
blending targeted training (the "spark"), 1:1 coaching, and
professional learning communities. This comprehensive approach to
professional learning ensures that teachers in a blended
environment work continually to improve learning outcomes for
students, stay up-to-date on current technology, and learn with
their colleagues. This text is full of concrete resources and
strategies for leaders and blended learning coaches.

The first guided-wave components that employed signals in the form
of light beams traveling along thin films were fabricated a little
more than two decades ago. The parallel development of
semiconductor lasers and the subsequent availability of low-loss
optical fibers made possible the imple mentation of completely
optical systems for communications, signal pro cessing and other
applications that had used only electronic circuitry in the past.
Referred to as integrated optics, this technology has been rein
forced by utilizing electronic components that act as controlling
elements or perform other functions for which the optical
counterparts are not as effec tive. The broader area thus generated
was aptly named optoelectronics and it currently represents a
fascinating, rapidly evolving and most promising technology.
Specifically, the amalgamation of electronic and optics compo nents
into an integrated optoelectronics format is expected to provide a
wide range of systems having miniaturized, high speed, broad band
and reliable components for telecommunications, data processing,
optical computing and other applications in the near and far
future. This book is intended to cover primarily the optical
portion of the op toelectronics area by focusing on the theory and
applications of components that use guided optical waves. Hence all
aspects of integrated optics are dis cussed, but optoelectronic
components having primarily electronic rather than optical
functions have not been included. Each chapter has been writ ten by
experts who have actively participated in developing the specific
areas addressed by them."
Because integrated optics and optoelectronics technology have been
devel oping very rapidly during the past few years, significant
advances have been made since the first edition of this book was
published. Furthermore, interest in the book itself has been
strong, leading to a demand for a new, updated version of the text.
This has motivated us to issue the present revised pa perback
edition, whose lower price will make it more easily accessible to
researchers in the area and to interested graduate students, in
particular. The present edition is essentially similar to the
original hardcover book, except that a new chapter (Chap. 7) has
been added, which briefly reviews the recent advances in the area
and provides new references. Typographical errors spotted in the
original edition have also been corrected. Although great care has
been exercised, some errors may still occur in the text and other
improvements could be introduced in a possible future edition. The
volume editor would therefore appreciate any comments from readers,
who are urged to communicate their suggestions directly to him."
