Product Description
William Heard Kilpatrick (1871-1965) was, during his long career, the chief interpreter and disseminator of John Dewey's educational thought. Known as "Columbia's Million-Dollar Professor" because of the great popularity (and revenue) of his classes at Teachers College, Kilpatrick vigorously promoted the progressive educational message that schools must be more child-centered, democratic, and socially oriented. This transplanted native of Georgia was the center of controversy over several decades. As a young man he underwent a heresy trial in the South for his unconventional theological beliefs. During the Great Depression he came under attack by conservatives for his active leadership in the radical Social Reconstructionist movement. And near the end of his life, he was assailed by McCarthyites for his social views and challenges to the traditional curriculum.Since his death, critics have accused Kilpatrick's legacy of departing from Dewey's message and encouraging anti-intellectualism by classroom practitioners. Kilpatrick is one of the major figures in twentieth-century American education, and his ideas continue to frame the debate on educational reform as we enter the twenty-first century. ... Read more

Excerpt: Johnny Rivers (born John Henry Ramistella, November 7, 1942, New York) is an American rock and roll singer, songwriter, guitarist, and record producer.

The Ramistella family moved from New York to Baton Rouge, Louisiana when John was five years old. Without any formal music lessons, he began playing guitar, which he learned from his father, at the age of eight, and was influenced by the distinctive music of Louisiana. Ramistella formed his own band, The Spades, in junior high school and made his first record at age 14, while still a student at Baton Rouge High School. Some of their music was recorded on the Suede label as early as 1956.

Product Description
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
The Age of Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking. Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade. The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a debate that continues in the twenty-first century.

Amazing
After reading Ravens, http://www.amazon.com/Ravens-George-Dawes-Green/dp/0446538973/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1279287512&sr=1-3 , by the same other, I knew I had to scoop up everything he had written.

George Dawes Green is an extremely talented writer, Ive never read anything quite like his books.He literally keeps you on your toes and when you think you have everything figured out, he flips the world upside down!I love all of his books and I most definitely recommend them!In fact I came onto amazon.com to purchase more copies as Christmas gifts last year and everyone recipient loved the books!

WHAT'S THE SCORES GEORGE DAWES?
A real page turner, but too contrived.

The "teacher" is a mafia hit man who proves to be invulnerable and invincible. In fact this aspect becomes very tiresome as no matter what ploy is set against him, the teacher manages to win. Of course we know that he's going to get his in the end, but it is a long time coming. By the time it happens I had lost a bit of interest.

Nevertheless this is a well written and thought provoking book. It's not great literature, so don't expect any intricate and dazzling sentence constuction or imagery; it's a little plain in it's writing. But if crime and thrill is your game then you wont be disapointed.

This was a very good first book for the author, but I am sure he can improve on his writing style.

Good reprise
The Juror by George Dawes Green was originally released from The Hachette Book Group in '95, but has been re released this year. (It was also made into a movie in '96 with Demi Moore and Alec Baldwin)

Annie Laird is a struggling single mother. When she is called to jury duty, she accepts, determined to do her civic duty. She is approached by a man known only as The Teacher, who insists that she 'sway' the jurors to a not guilty verdict. Her inspiration? Her son and friends will remain unscathed. Fail and......

Suddenly her civic duty has become a matter of life and death. Annie isn't quite the pushover The Teacher thought she was though....

I listened to this abridged version in audio format. It was read by Lolita Davidovich and John Heard. Davidovich's voice perfectly portrays a young innocent woman. It belies the steel that exists within Annie. John Heard's carefully modulated even tones are in direct contrast with the threats he delivers, making them all the more menacing.

An excellent taut thriller, pitting two unlikely adversaries against each other. I must say as a personal preference, I do prefer unabridged audio. There is no lack of continuity with the abridged, but I always feel like I've missed something.

Fantastic
This is one of the best books I have ever read, and I read all the time.It keeps one riveted to the story right to the last word.I was actually trembling when I finished it, I was so engrossed.It is a wonderful, fabulous book without peer.I highly recommend it.I was delighted to see that there was a movie of this story, and I immediately ordered it from Amazon.I haven't watched it yet, but found that the casting was very close to the characters that I pictured as I read the book.You will never regret buying this book.It is fabulous, fantastic, riveting, and exciting.

Gripping legal thriller
Synopsis:

Single mother, struggling sculptor, and newly selected juror Annie Laird doesn't realize her danger when she agrees to participate in the murder trial of mob boss Louie Buffano. This changes quickly enough when Annie meets "the Teacher," a handsome, dangerous and volatile member of Buffano's familia. The Teacher makes it immediately apparent that if she agrees to cooperate, he can help make her career. If she refuses to do so, her life and that of her son may be forfeit. The tension rises as Annie struggles to find a way to save her family without giving in to the Teacher's increasing demands.

Review:

If the plot sounds vaguely familiar, you may have watched the 1996 movie version with Demi Moore and Alec Baldwin. The audiobook is equally fast paced and absorbing without the strength of Alec Baldwin's portrayal of the Teacher and the weaknesses of Demi Moore's Annie Laird. Overall, The Juror is action packed, suspenseful and highly entertaining. ... Read more
