Paperback. Condition: Good. Nakae Chomin's Discourse by Three Drunkards on Government offers a captivating glimpse into a nation grappling with modernization and the adoption of Western-style governance. Through the spirited discussions of three distinct characters-the Gentleman of Western Learning, the Champion of the East, and the enigmatic Master Nankai who loves nothing more than to drink and argue politics-Chomin skillfully navigates the competing visions and ideologies that were shaping Japan's future. Each character embodies complex and often contradictory aspects of the author's own worldview, challenging readers to engage deeply with the nuances of Meiji-era political thought. The discussion's drinking bout context allows Chomin to freely debate political issues to offer an astute analysis of contemporary European politics and a prophetic vision of Japan's direction. Readers will gain insight into the dilemmas faced by Meiji intellectuals as they sought to reconcile the demands of progress, nationalism, and democracy. The Gentleman advocates for democratic freedoms and Enlightenment ideals, while the Champion embraces a pragmatic, nationalist perspective focused on military might. Master Nankai's measured critique offers a balanced approach, emphasizing gradual political reform and the importance of aligning changes with the will and intellectual level of the people. The rich tapestry of ideas not only illuminates the historical context but also invites readers to reflect on timeless questions of governance, national identity, and the role of the individual in shaping history. This book is not just a historical account but a thought-provoking dialogue that challenges readers to consider the intricate interplay between ideas, actions, and the inexorable march of history. …

Paperback. Condition: Good. When Courtney Cazden wrote Classroom Discourse, she provided such a cogent picture of what the research tells us about classroom language that the book quickly became a classic and shaped an entire field of study. Although other books since have addressed classroom language, none has matched Cazden's scope and vision. Now, thirteen years later, we've witnessed such significant changes in social and intellectual life that the subject of classroom discourse is more important than ever. So Cazden has revisited her classic text and integrated current perspectives and research. New features include: a new rationale for the importance of student-teacher talk: the importance of oral as well as written communication skills in today's occupations and current conceptions of knowledge and the way it is acquired rich new examples of talk in K-12 classrooms - math as well as language arts - with transcriptions and analyses new findings from teacher researchers as well as university researchers new emphasis on achieving greater equity in what students learn new material on the kind of interactions computers offer new section on learning new forms of discourse as a significant educational goal for all students. Readers will emerge from the book with a better understanding of the significance of quality teacher-student talk and some of the most important research and researchers.…
