The preserved remains of other human beings holds a special fascination for the living ... This fascinating book explores the history and science behind such phenomena and examines cases ranging from ancient Egyption mummies to 20th century politicians, from Iron Age bog bodies to the extraordinary finds at Pompeii ... After explaining the scientific processes of decay, the authors move on to discuss the bog bodies of northern Europe, including the famous Lindow Man and several Danish examples, many of which were found mutilated or handicapped ... Issues relating to how and why these bodies ended up in bogs are explored, the possibilities ranging from accident to murder to ancient sacrificial rituals ... The authors then turn their attention to one of the oldest methods of preservation - mummification - looking not only at famous ancient examples, but also at the earliest known mummies of the Chinchorro people from South America ... The preservation of bodies as a result of environmental factors such as freezing is also addressed ... The authors examine examples such as the incredible 5000-year-old Tyrolean Ice Man, frozen together with his clothing, food and tools, and with the tattoo marks on his skin still visible ... They also describe the discovery of bodies preserved in outline form, such as those of Pompeii and Sutton Hoo, and the pain-staking scientfc processes involved in unearthing and interpreting such finds ... Finally, this study would not be complete without a look at modern preservation methods and humanity's perennial search for immortality through techniques such as cryonics, cloning, DNA and suspended animation ..... Extensively illustrated with the haunting images of many of the cases discussed, Earthly Remains is a compelling book that will appeal to to everyone's sense of mystery in the history and origins of our ancestors ...

We have moved from Newton's dissection of the colours of the spectrum to Faraday and Maxwell's revelation of light's basis in electricity and magnetism ... And in the new millenium we are confronting the pos sibility that light may allow us to send messages backwards in time ... We are only just beginning to understand the true power of light ...

He is also the author of 'TheTheory of Oral Composition' , 'Traditional Oral Epic', and 'Immanent Art', as well as founding editor of the journal " Oral Tradition " ... In this book, he argues that the methods and strategies of traditional oral expression - of 'the singer of tales' - persist into the realm of tets ... Both living oral traditions and texts with roots in oral tradition share a context in which the speaker performs for an audience - either real, or implied ... This study dissolves the perceived barrier between 'oral' and 'written' , creating a composite theory from oral-formulaic theory and the ethnography of speaking and ethnopoetics ... Foley highlights both the idiom of the oral work, which is at once traditional and individual, and the realm of performance, which gives the tale its expressive force ... Foley examines a wide range of genres ... including Serbian charms, the Homeric Hymns, and the Anglo-Saxon hagiography ' Andreas ' ... uncovering the expressive roots of oral-derived traditional works to recover both the performance event and its traditional context ...

This is a handsome book; bright blue textured cloth over boards with black lettering and Gold gilt logo impressed on spine ; in glossy B&W photographic jacket, depicting view of the old campus of Yale, 1895, on the front ... 440 pages with index & appendices ... ' The Jewish problem ... continues to require the utmost care and tact ... The proportion of Jews among the candidates who are both scholastically qualified for admission and young enough to matriculate has somewhat increased and remains too large for comfort ' ... So said the Annual report from the Board of Admissions of Yale University , in 1944 - 45 ... Although the Yale Seal includes words in Hebrew commemorating the ancient Israelites, the relationship between Jews and Yale has been uneasy at times ... This book examines the college life of Jews at Yale ... from the first Jewish graduate in 1809 ... to the mid 1980s ... all the while drawing comparisons to the Jewish experience at other elite colleges and universities ... and to the experiences of other minorities at Yale ... This is a unique and richly informative addition to the knowledge of American educational , religious, and cultural history ... Oren uses both archival records and interviews with numerous graduates of the university to document the saga of Jews at Yale ... He finds that , during Yale's early years as a Congregationalist college, the Jews who attended were too few to cause concern ... By the 20th century, however, prejudices against Jewish students had intensified, for they did not fit into the ' clublike ' atmosphere that now pervaded the university ... Diversity at that time was unwanted ... and overindulgence in book learning was suspect ... The restriction of Jewish enrollment that originated at this time continued until the 1940s, when the Second World War began to liberalize attitudes across America, and at Yale ... In the 1960s, under the leadership of President Kingmen Brewster, Yale began to assert forcefully scholastic goals of excellence over the social goal of being a breeding ground for the 'right people' ... Thereafter, Yale leaders committed themselves to equal opportunites for all students ... including Jews, Catholics, blacks and women ... and to a fully integrated community ... Alfred Gottschalk, President, Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion, says of this book that it is " The most comprehensive history yet written about the discriminatory policies against Jews, primarily the noxious Jewish quota system, in American higher education ... Oren's thoroughly researched, well-written history clearly shows that the Yale experince closely paralleled the American one with regard to the place of Jews and Judaism ... That Yale chose to shift its priorities from such communal exclusivity toward a more meritocratic one, based on intellectual quality, testifies to the ability of the institution to realize that one era had ended and another had begun." .... includes sections on : Undergraduate Life until the First World War ...

Dewey taught at the universities of Minnesota , Michigan , and Chicago , and at Columbia University from 1904 until 1930 , when he retired ... This book argues that contemporary views found in epistemology ... and the philosophy of science .... reflect a renewed interest in the thought of John Dewey .. This is especially important for philosophy of education ... because Dewey's writings ... which greatly influenced the philosophy of education in the 20th century ... are being rejected by those ignorant of their relevance to contemporary thought ... Yet Dewey's arguments provide the basis for both a rejuvenated account of conceptual analysis ... and a criticsm of the utopian relativism dominating the literature ... In education his influence had been a leading factor in the abandonmen t of authoritarian teaching ... and in the growing emphasis upon learning through experimentation and practice ... against abstract learning, he thought of education as a tool to allow individuals to integrate culture and vocation ... Dewey also participated in movements to forward social welfare and woman's suffrage ... protect academic freedom ... and effect political reform ... Dewey conceived of democracy as a primary ethical value, and he did much to formulate working principles for a democratic and industrial society ...

The preserved remains of other human beings holds a special fascination for the living ... This fascinating book explores the history and science behind such phenomena and examines cases ranging from ancient Egyption mummies to 20th century politicians, from Iron Age bog bodies to the extraordinary finds at Pompeii ... After explaining the scientific processes of decay, the authors move on to discuss the bog bodies of northern Europe, including the famous Lindow Man and several Danish examples, many of which were found mutilated or handicapped ... Issues relating to how and why these bodies ended up in bogs are explored, the possibilities ranging from accident to murder to ancient sacrificial rituals ... The authors then turn their attention to one of the oldest methods of preservation - mummification - looking not only at famous ancient examples, but also at the earliest known mummies of the Chinchorro people from South America ... The preservation of bodies as a result of environmental factors such as freezing is also addressed ... The authors examine examples such as the incredible 5000-year-old Tyrolean Ice Man, frozen together with his clothing, food and tools, and with the tattoo marks on his skin still visible ... They also describe the discovery of bodies preserved in outline form, such as those of Pompeii and Sutton Hoo, and the pain-staking scientfc processes involved in unearthing and interpreting such finds ... Finally, this study would not be complete without a look at modern preservation methods and humanity's perennial search for immortality through techniques such as cryonics, cloning, DNA and suspended animation ..... Extensively illustrated with the haunting images of many of the cases discussed, Earthly Remains is a compelling book that will appeal to to everyone's sense of mystery in the history and origins of our ancestors ...

This is a handsome book; bright blue textured cloth over boards with black lettering and Gold gilt logo impressed on spine ; in glossy B&W photographic jacket, depicting view of the old campus of Yale, 1895, on the front ... 440 pages with index & appendices ... ' The Jewish problem ... continues to require the utmost care and tact ... The proportion of Jews among the candidates who are both scholastically qualified for admission and young enough to matriculate has somewhat increased and remains too large for comfort ' ... So said the Annual report from the Board of Admissions of Yale University , in 1944 - 45 ... Although the Yale Seal includes words in Hebrew commemorating the ancient Israelites, the relationship between Jews and Yale has been uneasy at times ... This book examines the college life of Jews at Yale ... from the first Jewish graduate in 1809 ... to the mid 1980s ... all the while drawing comparisons to the Jewish experience at other elite colleges and universities ... and to the experiences of other minorities at Yale ... This is a unique and richly informative addition to the knowledge of American educational , religious, and cultural history ... Oren uses both archival records and interviews with numerous graduates of the university to document the saga of Jews at Yale ... He finds that , during Yale's early years as a Congregationalist college, the Jews who attended were too few to cause concern ... By the 20th century, however, prejudices against Jewish students had intensified, for they did not fit into the ' clublike ' atmosphere that now pervaded the university ... Diversity at that time was unwanted ... and overindulgence in book learning was suspect ... The restriction of Jewish enrollment that originated at this time continued until the 1940s, when the Second World War began to liberalize attitudes across America, and at Yale ... In the 1960s, under the leadership of President Kingmen Brewster, Yale began to assert forcefully scholastic goals of excellence over the social goal of being a breeding ground for the 'right people' ... Thereafter, Yale leaders committed themselves to equal opportunites for all students ... including Jews, Catholics, blacks and women ... and to a fully integrated community ... Alfred Gottschalk, President, Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion, says of this book that it is " The most comprehensive history yet written about the discriminatory policies against Jews, primarily the noxious Jewish quota system, in American higher education ... Oren's thoroughly researched, well-written history clearly shows that the Yale experince closely paralleled the American one with regard to the place of Jews and Judaism ... That Yale chose to shift its priorities from such communal exclusivity toward a more meritocratic one, based on intellectual quality, testifies to the ability of the institution to realize that one era had ended and another had begun." .... includes sections on : Undergraduate Life until the First World War ...

John Dewey, 1859 - 1952 was a well-known American philosopher and educator ... he graduated from the University of Vermont in 1879 ... and obtained his Ph.D. in 1884 at Johns Hopkins ... Dewey taught at the universities of Minnesota , Michigan , and Chicago , and at Columbia University from 1904 until 1930 , when he retired ... This book argues that contemporary views found in epistemology ... and the philosophy of science .... reflect a renewed interest in the thought of John Dewey .. This is especially important for philosophy of education ... because Dewey's writings ... which greatly influenced the philosophy of education in the 20th century ... are being rejected by those ignorant of their relevance to contemporary thought ... Yet Dewey's arguments provide the basis for both a rejuvenated account of conceptual analysis ... and a criticsm of the utopian relativism dominating the literature ... In education his influence had been a leading factor in the abandonmen t of authoritarian teaching ... and in the growing emphasis upon learning through experimentation and practice ... against abstract learning, he thought of education as a tool to allow individuals to integrate culture and vocation ... Dewey also participated in movements to forward social welfare and woman's suffrage ... protect academic freedom ... and effect political reform ... Dewey conceived of democracy as a primary ethical value, and he did much to formulate working principles for a democratic and industrial society ...
