Cottle argues that the period known as adolescence is essentially a social construct influenced greatly by popular culture.

In this fundamentally distracting environment, young people explore their consciousness, sharing it with others, as well as form their...

The College Curriculum: A Reader
ISBN: 9781433117893 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Mark Van Doren, the noted literary scholar, once remarked, -The college is meaningless without a curriculum, but it is more so when it has one that is meaningless.- Many current critics of undergraduate curricula in America assent to the crucial need for programmatic renewal in our colleges and universities. They bemoan the cookie-cutter sameness in far too many of them. The oddity is that U.S. colleges have long touted their -diversity- while largely holding fast to rather traditional pathways. This illuminating volume goes beyond formulaic nuts-and-bolts recipes for constructing curriculum:...
