Miracle on High Street: The Rise, Fall and Resurrection of St. Benedict's Prep in Newark, N.J.
by Thomas A. McCabeJust outside downtown Newark, New Jersey, sits an abbey and school. For more than 150 years Benedictine monks have lived, worked, and prayed on High Street, a once-grand thoroughfare that became Newark’s Skid Row and a focal point of the 1967 riots.St. Benedict’s today has become a model of a successful inner-city school, with 95 percent of its graduates—mainly African American and Latino boys—going on to college. Miracle on High Street is the story of how the monks of St. Benedict’s transformed their venerable yet outdated school to become a thriving part of the community that helped save a faltering city.In the 1960s, after a trinity of woes—massive deindustrialization, high-speed suburbanization, and racial violence—caused an exodus from Newark, St. Benedict’s struggled to remain open. Enrollment in general dwindled, and fewer students enrolled from the surrounding community.The monks watched the violence of the 1967 riots from the school’s rooftop along High Street. In the riot’s aftermath more families fled what some called “the worst city in America.”The school closed in 1972, in what seemed to be just another funeral for an urban Catholic school. A few monks, inspired by the Benedictine virtues of stability and adaptability, reopened St. Benedict’s only one year later with a bare-bones staff . Their new mission was to bring to young African American and Latino males the same opportunities that German and Irish immigrants had had 150 years before.More than thirty years later, St. Benedict’s is one of the most unusual schools in the country. Its remarkable success shows that American education can bridge the achievement gap between white and black, as well as that between rich and poor. The story of St. Benedict’s is about an institution’s rise and fall, resurrection andrenaissance. It also provides valuable insights into American religious, immigration, educational, and metropolitan history. By staying true to their historical values amid a continually changing city, the downtown monks, in resurrecting its prep school, helped save an American city.Some have even called it the miracle on High Street.
Miracles and Wonder: The Historical Mystery of Jesus
by Elaine PagelsFrom a renowned National Book Award–winning scholar, an extraordinary new account of the life of Jesus that explores the mystery of how a poor young man inspired a religion that reshaped the world. <p> Early in her career, Elaine Pagels changed our understanding of the origins of Christianity with her work in The Gnostic Gospels. Now, in the culmination of a decades-long career, she explores the biggest subject of all, Jesus. In Miracles and Wonder she sets out to discover how a poor young Jewish man inspired a religion that shaped the world. <p> The book reads like a historical mystery, with each chapter addressing a fascinating question and answering it based on the gospels Jesus's followers left behind. Why is Jesus said to have had a virgin birth? Why do we say he rose from the dead? Did his miracles really happen and what did they mean? <p> The story Pagels tells is thrilling and tense. Not just does Jesus comes to life but his desperate, hunted followers do as well. We realize that some of the most compelling details of Jesus's life are the explanations his disciples created to paper over inconvenient facts. So Jesus wasn't illegitimate, his mother conceived by God; Jesus's body wasn't humiliatingly left to rot and tossed into a common grave—no, he rose from the dead and was seen whole by his followers; Jesus isn't a failed messiah, his kingdom is a metaphor: he lives in us. These necessary fabrications were the very details and promises that electrified their listeners and helped his followers' numbers grow. <p> In Miracles and Wonder, Pagels does more than solve a historical mystery. She sheds light on Jesus's enduring power to inspire and attract. <b>New York Times Bestseller</b>
Miracles for Skeptics: Encountering the Paranormal Ministry of Jesus
by Frank G. HoneycuttAre the miracle stories in the Bible actually true? Christians and skeptics alike may doubt the veracity of Jesus&’s miracles. Preachers often rely on a dry, literal interpretation of his healings and wonders, or else try to tame them and explain them away rationally. Both approaches, in their obsession with historical accuracy, miss the truth behind these stories. Frank G. Honeycutt draws out the deeper truths in the weird incidents in the Bible. In a warm, conversational style, Honeycutt reads iconic miracle stories—from the wedding at Cana to demonic exorcisms—to enrich the life of faith. Digging into these &“unbelievable&” stories can widen our spiritual imaginations and point to the promise of Christ&’s new world. Pastors seeking thoughtful resources and any inquisitive reader will find a wealth of pastoral insight and scriptural wisdom in Miracles for Skeptics.

A Mirror to Kathleen's Face: Education in Independent Ireland 1922-60 (Routledge Revivals)
by Donald AkensonFirst published in 1975, Donald Akenson’s book was at the forefront of a radically new approach to the study of Irish educational history. Instead of investigating the evolution of the schools as an isolated process, he explores the complex interrelations of Irish education, institutions and society, treating the schools as cultural litmus paper. By presenting Ireland’s schools as a reflection of the society that produced them, Professor Akenson demonstrates that they are, in truth, "a mirror to the face of Kathleen ni Houlihan".

Mirrors of Mortality: Social Studies in the History of Death (Routledge Revivals)
by Joachim WhaleyFirst published in 1981, this reissue examines mankind’s preoccupation with death and mortality by isolating various societies in different periods of time. The authors examine not only the formal rituals associated with the last rite of passage, but also the social attitudes to death and dying which these rituals evidence. The essays establish that different periods do seem to be characterized by different images of death and attitudes to it, but the authors wisely avoid trying to impose strict chronological pattern. A pioneering work in the historical study of attitudes to death, this reissue should reignite discussion on the significance of death in human history. Christiane Sourvinou-Inwood examines attitudes to death as reflected in myth and religious thought in Ancient Greece and relates them to social and economic change. R. C. Finucane analysis the social significance of the ‘exemplary’ deaths of kings, criminals, traitors and saints in medieval Europe. Paul Fritz’s essay illustrates the importance of royal burials in early modern Britian; while Joachim Whaley examines the social and political significance of funerals in Hamburg between 1500 and 1800. John McManners discusses the work of Phililppe Aries and other prominent French scholars on the history of attitudes to death. David Irwin examines the images of death portrayed in European tombs around 1800. C.A Bayly analyzes the relationship between death ritual and society in Hindu Northern India, while David Cannadine discusses the impact of war on attitudes to death in modern Britain.
The Mis-Education of the Negro
by Carter G. WoodsonThe Mis-Education of the Negro is one of the most important books on education ever written. Carter G. Woodson shows us the weakness of Euro-centric based curriculums that fail to include African American history and culture. This system mis-educates the African American student, failing to prepare them for success and to give them an adequate sense of who they are within the system that they must live. Woodson provides many strong solutions to the problems he identifies. A must-read for anyone working in the education field.
The Mis-education of the Negro
by Carter G. WoodsonThe most influential work by &“the father of Black history&”, reflecting the long-standing tradition of antiracist teaching pioneered by Black educatorsA Penguin ClassicThe Mis-education of the Negro (1933) is Woodson&’s most popular classic work of Black social criticism, drawing on history, theory, and memoir. As both student and teacher, Woodson witnessed distortions of Black life in the history and literature taught in schools and universities. He identified a relationship between these distortions in curriculum and the violence circumscribing Black life in the material world, declaring, &“There would be no lynching if it did not start in the schoolroom.&” Woodson&’s primary focus was the impact dominant modes of schooling had on Black youth. This systematic process of mis-education undermined Black people&’s struggles for freedom and justice, and it was an experience that scholars before and after Woodson recognized and worked to challenge.Woodson argued that students, teachers, and leaders needed to be educated in a manner that was accountable to Black experiences and lived realities, both past and present. This edition includes an appendix of selected letters and articles by Woodson, and Suggestions for Further Reading.
Misadventures in Patient Care and Medical Education: Lessons Learned for the Clinician Educator (SpringerBriefs in Education)
by Larrie Greenberg M.D.This book offers a perspective not often addressed in medicine and medical education: errors or misadventures in patient care and education. In 1999, a white paper was created by the Institute of Medicine—"To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System"—that addressed errors made around patient care and what that cost is in lives and dollars to the public each year. This initiative resulted in more safeguards in the system, including attention to quality improvement. In fact, whereas there has been a focus on patient safety since that paper, the same emphasis has been lacking in medical education, the foundation of which represents how we teach future physicians. There currently are no other books on the topics of patient care and education, with Jerome Groopman's Book on &‘&’How Doctors Think&’&’ being one of the few publications that focuses on errors in patient care but not necessarily how to avoid or correct those errors. This book is divided into major activities for those faculty in academic health settings, physicians and non-physicians, who assume the major responsibility for teaching, patient care, educational scholarship, mentoring, and administrative duties. These are, by definition, clinician educators (CE) and include all those in academic health centers, physicians and non-physicians who care for patients and teach future practitioners. In fact, medical and health science students in addition to resident trainees would benefit from reading this book as they traverse curricula aimed at educating future practitioners. The book is divided into sections based on responsibilities noted above, e.g., teaching and patient care, and I point out common errors in the healthcare team performance, with comments on how to address those errors. I cover all the responsibilities of clinician educators in academic medical centers, including leadership or administrative skills. The content is largely based on the author's long experience as a CE in addition to evidence-based information about patient care and educational theory.

Misbehaving Science: Controversy and the Development of Behavior Genetics
by Aaron PanofskyBehavior genetics has always been a breeding ground for controversies. From the “criminal chromosome” to the “gay gene,” claims about the influence of genes like these have led to often vitriolic national debates about race, class, and inequality. Many behavior geneticists have encountered accusations of racism and have had their scientific authority and credibility questioned, ruining reputations, and threatening their access to coveted resources. In Misbehaving Science, Aaron Panofsky traces the field of behavior genetics back to its origins in the 1950s, telling the story through close looks at five major controversies. In the process, Panofsky argues that persistent, ungovernable controversy in behavior genetics is due to the broken hierarchies within the field. All authority and scientific norms are questioned, while the absence of unanimously accepted methods and theories leaves a foundationless field, where disorder is ongoing. Critics charge behavior geneticists with political motivations; champions say they merely follow the data where they lead. But Panofsky shows how pragmatic coping with repeated controversies drives their scientific actions. Ironically, behavior geneticists’ struggles for scientific authority and efforts to deal with the threats to their legitimacy and autonomy have made controversy inevitable—and in some ways essential—to the study of behavior genetics.
