Norms and Nobility: A Treatise on Education

In part one of this book Hicks turns to Ancient Greece and to the idea of a Christian "paideia", the Greek word that means both culture and education and implies a sense of community and individual responsibility. He argues that virtue is the fruit of learning and that it should be taught in the classroom, challenging the reader to find one notable ancient who does not agree. The second part of the book includes a proposed curriculum, grades 7-12, with work in maths and sciences, art and languages, humane letters, physical education and in Grade 12, the problems of knowledge and faith.

Heritage and Destiny: Reflections on the Bell System in Transition

Von Auw, Alvin

This book offers an interpretation of the myths that shape television images and reinforce this culture's dominant ideology. It provides histories of all television genres and connects developments within each genre to political, social, and cultural shifts in the larger society. This new Second Edition updates the previous edition's close textual analysis of representative series and serials to mid-1993, reflecting the significant changes that have occurred in both the business of television in the United States and in the larger society's dominant ideology. The Second Edition also reflects significant advances in critical theory related to the study of television that have occurred over the past decade, and it incorporates both the structuralist critical position (dominant in the first edition) and a post-structuralist position which moves away from a determinist textual analysis of ideology to a consideration of possible multiple decodings.
