The success and survival of American democracy have never been
guaranteed. Political polarization, presidential eccentricities,
the trustworthiness of government, and the prejudices of the voting
majority have waxed and waned ever since the time of the Founders,
and there are no fail-safe solutions to secure the benefits of a
democratic future. What we must do, argues the historian Robert
Tracy McKenzie, is take an unflinching look at the very nature of
democracy-its strengths and weaknesses, what it can promise, and
where it overreaches. And this means we must take an unflinching
look at ourselves. We the Fallen People presents a close look at
the ideas of human nature to be found in the history of American
democratic thought, from the nation's Founders through the
Jacksonian Era and Alexis de Tocqueville. McKenzie, following C. S.
Lewis, claims there are only two reasons to believe in majority
rule: because we have confidence in human nature-or because we
don't. The Founders subscribed to the biblical principle that
humans are fallen and their virtue is always doubtful, and they
wrote the US Constitution to frame a republic intended to handle
our weaknesses. But by the presidency of Andrew Jackson, contrary
ideas about humanity's inherent goodness were already taking deep
root among Americans, bearing fruit in such perils as we now face
for the future of democracy. Focusing on the careful reasoning of
the Founders, the seismic shifts of the Jacksonian Era, and the
often misunderstood but still piercing analysis of Tocqueville's
Democracy in America, McKenzie guides us in a conversation with the
past that can help us see the present-and ourselves-with new
insight.
Many people think of history as merely "the past"-or at most,
information about the past. But the real work of a historian is to
listen to the voices of those who have gone before and humbly
remember the flesh and blood on the other side of the evidence.
What is their story? How does it become part of our own? In A
Little Book for New Historians veteran historian Robert Tracy
McKenzie offers a concise, clear, and beautifully written
introduction to the study of history. In addition to making a case
for the discipline in our pragmatic, "present-tense" culture,
McKenzie lays out necessary skills, methods, and attitudes for
historians in training. Loaded with concrete examples and
insightful principles, this primer shows how the study of history,
faithfully pursued, can shape your heart as well as your mind.
`the ideal reading...for the hours after midnight' Thus Henry James
described the style of supernatural tale of which Sheridan Le Fanu
was a master. Known in nineteenth-century Dublin as `The Invisible
Prince' because of his reclusive and nocturnal habits, Le Fanu was
fascinated by the occult. His writings draw on the Gothic
tradition, elements of Irish folklore, and even on the social and
political anxieties of his Anglo-Irish contemporaries. In exploring
sometimes inexplicable terrors, the tales focus on the unease of
the haunted men and women who encounter the supernatural, rather
than on the origin or purpose of the visitant. This makes for
spine-chilling reading. The five stories presented here have been
collected by Dr Hesselius, a `metaphysical' doctor, the forerunner
of the modern psychiatrist, who is willing to consider the ghosts
both as real and as hallucinatory obsessions. The reader's doubtful
anxiety mimics that of the protagonist, and each story thus creates
that atmosphere of mystery which is the supernatural experience.

The second edition of Assessing Differentiated Student Products
provides educators with tremendous opportunities to differentiate
instruction and facilitate continuous progress for every student.
This book provides teachers with everything needed to develop and
assess products developed by students. The book includes a list of
suggested products; more than 100 DAP tools that assess content,
presentation, creativity, and reflection at three tier levels using
a multilevel performance scale for a variety of products; and
detailed information on how to use these tools in the classroom. By
encouraging the use of varied products to demonstrate what students
have learned, DAP tools engage children, motivate, have real-world
connections, require high-level thinking and problem-solving
skills, accommodate learning preferences, allow for self-expression
and creativity, promote ownership and pride in one's work, and
develop lifelong learners.

The Unappeasable Host: Studies in Irish Identities explores some of
the tensions created when Anglo-Irish writers - Protestant in
religion, of non-Irish ancestryreflected upon their preferred
subject matter, Ireland and their unhyphenated Catholic
contemporaries. These tensions involve the writers' sense of
anxiety about their own membership in the Irish community, and at
the same time their anxiety about losing their distinctive
identity. Anglo-Irish writers founded modern Irish literature in
English, identifying themselves with their native country and its
people. Yet they often felt themselves surrounded and watched by an
'Unappeasable Host', a population that resented them. Robert Tracy
discusses Irish writers who in England were considered Irish, in
Ireland English - including Maria Edgeworth and Lady Morgan, the
Banim brothers, Roger O'Connor, Sheridan Le Fanu, W. B. Yeats, J.
M. Synge, Elizabeth Bowen - together with James Joyce, who,
although neither of English ancestry nor Protestant, similarly
focuses on individuals separated or excluded from the Irish life
around them.
