A Mirror to Kathleen's Face : Education in Independent Ireland 1922-60
ISBN: 9780415519489 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) First published in 1975, Donald Akenson's book was at the forefront of a radically new approach to the study of Irish educational history.

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".

The Irish Education Experiment : The National System of Education in the Nineteenth Century
ISBN: 9780415689809 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This volume focuses on the creation, structure and evolution of the Irish national system of education. It illustrates how the system was shaped by the religious, social and political realities of nineteenth century Ireland and discusses the effects that the system had upon the Irish nation: namely that it was the chief means by which the country was transformed from one in which illiteracy predominated to one in which most people, even the poorest, could read and write.

Education and Enmity (Routledge Revivals): The Control of Schooling in Northern Ireland 1920-50
ISBN: 9780415519908 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) First published in 1973 Professor Akenson's book traces the series of religious and political controversies which have battered the state schools of Northern Ireland. After the government's admirably intentioned, but muddled, attempt to create a non-sectarian school system in the early 1920s, the educational system was progressively manipulated by sectarianism. The way in which the author describes how children are schooled reveals a great deal about the attitudes and values of the parental generation and also helps to explain the actions of later generations.

Elegant and inventive, Surpassing Wonder uncovers how the ancient Hebrew scriptures, the Christian New Testament, and the Talmuds of the Rabbis are related and how, collectively, they make up the core of Western consciousness. Donald Harman Akenson provides an incisive critique of how religious scholars have distorted the holy books and argues that it was actually the inventor of the Hebrew scriptures who shaped our concept of narrative history--thereby founding Western culture.

Saint Saul: A Skeleton Key to the Historical Jesus
ISBN: 9780195152388 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In Saint Saul, Donald Harman Akenson offers a lively and provocative account of what we can learn about Jesus by reading the letters of Paul. As the only direct evidence of Jesus we have that were composed before the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 CE forever altered the outlook of the Christian and Jewish faiths, Akenson claims that these letters are the most reliable source of information. He dismisses the traditional method of searching for facts about Jesus by looking for parallels among the four gospels because they were handed down to us as a unit by a later generation. Akenson...

In this follow-up to his acclaimed Surpassing Wonder, Akenson recreates the world of Christ, a time rich with ideas, prophets, factions, priests, savants, and god-drunk fanatics. Saint Saul sheds light on Yeshua's birth and his relationship to his family, clarifies Yeshua's views on issues such as divorce and resurrection, and examines his sense of himself as Messiah. Throughout Saint Saul Akenson insistently stresses the Jewishness of Yeshua. He dismisses the traditional way of searching for facts about him by looking for parallels among the four gospels, arguing that the gospels were handed...

The Irish in Ontario: A Study in Rural History, Second Edition
ISBN: 9780773520295 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Akenson argues that, despite the popular conception of the Irish as a city people, those who settled in Ontario were primarily rural and small-town dwellers. Though it is often claimed that the experience of the Irish in their homeland precluded their successful settlement on the frontier in North America, Akenson's research proves that the Irish migrants to Ontario not only chose to live chiefly in the hinterlands, but that they did so with marked success. Akenson also suggests that by using Ontario as an "historical laboratory" it is possible to make valid assessments of the real...

At Face Value: The Life and Times of Eliza McCormack/John White
ISBN: 9780773509481 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) In a parish register in Ireland, Akenson discovered a record naming an Eliza McCormack White as John's sister. Employing imaginative reconstruction, he proposes that Eliza McCormack, a transvestite prostitute who was in central Canada at the time John White arrived on the Canadian scene, was actually John's sister. Further, he suggests that John White can be best understood by recognizing that he was in fact Eliza!
