Paperback. Condition: Very Good. In Stupidity and Tears, renowned educator and National Book Award winner Herbert Kohl offers us a thoughtful and ultimately optimistic meditation on the forces that conspire to keep teachers and students ?stupid??i.e., frustrated and unable to excel in an education system that is clearly failing them.Among the topics explored by Kohl are the pressures of standards based assessments and harrowing sink-or-swim policies, the pain teachers feel when asked to teach against their pedagogical conscience, the development of a capacity to sense how students perceive the world, and the importance of hope and creativity in strengthening the social imagination of students and teachers.A rousing call for common sense in the face of dwindling budgets, crippling state mandates, and injudicious politics, Stupidity and Tears is ?vintage Kohl?incisive, funny, reflective, profound . . . a provocation to educators to better teach all our children?

Paperback. Condition: Fair. Michael Nastasis had it all - a large home, a luxury car, a successful career, and all the trappings of affluence - until he received divorce papers and a restraining order from his wife. In his latest Creation House release, The Unseen Essential, noted author and medical doctor James Gills takes readers inside the life of Michael Nastasis and illustrates how the character's newfound faith redeems him and his family. He writes: Michael, the central figure of the story, is a composite character. He evolved in part from the imagination and experiences of people I have known, me as well as anyone who is on a spiritual walk. The book also examines the process of salvation and how to apply it in every day life. Gills demonstrates a few key principles of the kind of faith I have learned to embrace. In other words, how does the unseen essential translate into the daily grind of living? He also adds, Rather than focus on any specific number of 'steps', I pray you will be inspired to seek God - to look beyond your own circumstances, trials, and temptations, or even blessings, to Jesus. Nothing is too difficult for the author and finisher of your faith. Filled with humor and honesty, Gills motivates readers to recognize the power of God and His redeeming salvation.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. From a popular Tolstoy scholar: an entertaining, thought-provoking, and accessible argument for why War and Peace is more relevant to readers now than ever. Considered by many critics the greatest novel ever written, War and Peace is also one of the most feared. And at 1,500 pages, it's no wonder why. Still, new editions keep appearing. In July 2009 Newsweek put War and Peace at the top of its list of 100 great novels and a 2007 edition of the ARP Bulletin, read by millions, included the novel in their list of the top four books everybody should read by the age of fifty. A New York Times survey from 2009 identified War and Peace as the world classic you're most likely to find people reading on their subway commute to work. What might all those Newsweek devotees, senior citizens, and harried commuters see in a book about the Napoleonic Wars in the early 1800s? A mirror of our times. War and Peace is many things. It is a love story, a family saga, a war novel. But at its core it's a novel about human beings attempting to create a meaningful life for themselves in a country torn apart by war, social change, political intrigue, and spiritual confusion. Give War and Peace a Chance takes readers on a journey through War and Peace that reframes their very understanding of what it means to live through troubled times and survive them. Touching on a broad range of topics, from courage to romance, parenting to death, Kaufman demonstrates how Tolstoy's wisdom can help us live fuller, more meaningful lives. The ideal companion to War and Peace, this book will also be enjoyable to those who have never read a word of Tolstoy, making that masterpiece more approachable, relevant, and fun.…
