The Decline of Privilege: The Modernization of Oxford University
ISBN: 9780804734882 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book studies Oxford University's transformation--and the political hazards for academics that ensued--when, after World War II, it changed from a private liberal-arts club with aristocratic pretensions into a state university heavily committed to the natural sciences, and with a middle-class constituency and a meritocratic ethos. Despite these changes, the author shows that Oxford has not been able to elude its long-standing Brideshead Revisited reputation. This antiquated image became a source of difficulties when the Labour Party in the 1960's sought to expand educational...

Washington County
ISBN: 9781531623333 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In honor of George Washington and the colonists' separation from the king's rule, the territory once known as Kings County was renamed Washington County. Rich in history, this once densely wooded region was transformed, and by the dawn of the 20th century, many villages and hamlets had taken root. In the early 1900s, photographer Walter Rogers captured the evolution of this area, and the images in Washington County are all drawn from his collection of glass-plate negatives. The text originates from historic accounts during this period. Readers will encounter pirate treasure in Richmond, sea...

The Power of Privilege: Yale and America's Elite Colleges
ISBN: 9780804756372 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. It is widely assumed that admission to elite U.S. universities is based solely on academic merit--the best and brightest are admitted to Harvard, Yale, and their peer institutions as determined by test scores and GPA, and not by lineage or family income. But does reality support those expectations? Or are admissions governed by a logic that rewards socioeconomic status while disguising it as personal merit? The Power of Privilege examines the nexus between social class and admissions at America's top colleges from the vantage point of Yale University, a key actor in the history of...

ISBN: 9780807752623 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) What can a college admissions officer safely predict about the future of a 17-year-old? Are the best and the brightest students the ones who can check off the most correct boxes on a multiple-choice exam? Or are there better ways of measuring ability and promise? In this penetrating and revealing look at high-stakes standardized admissions tests, Joseph Soares demonstrates the far-reaching and mostly negative impact of the tests on American life and calls for nothing less than a national policy change. SAT Wars presents a roadmap for rethinking college admissions that moves us past the...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) On February 11, 1907, the steamship Larchmont collided with the schooner Harry Knowlton. Thrown from their bunks, passengers of the Larchmont panicked and ran onto the ship's deck. Haphazardly loaded lifeboats set out only partially full, and shrieks from those left behind were heard in the distance. Nearly 150 passengers were lost that night. The men and women of Block Island courageously aided those in need and dealt with the horrors that washed ashore. Controversy swirled around the conduct of the captain and crew of the Larchmont as investigators tried to determine who was responsible for...
