United StatesClass number: 306.8 Abstract: "Marriage, Divorce, Remarriage" explores Americans' ambivalence toward marriage : we continue to value it highly, but we also marry later, dissolve the marriages we make more readily, and are more reluctant to remarry than ever before. In a revision and enlargement, Andrew Cherlin examines the course of family life in America, including cohabitation, marriage, divorce and remarriage, from the end of World War II through the early 1990s. He also assesses the causes and consequences of these trends, ranging from the anomaly of the 1950s, when marriage rose, divorce declined, and couples had large families, to the rapid increase in cohabitation and single life. For this edition, Cherlin has updated all of the graphs and tables, and presented new findings on cohabitation and its relationship to marriage. He has also completely rewritten the chapter on black-white differences. It is now an essay on one of the most troubling public policy issues : the relations among race, poverty, and marriage. And in a new chapter, he explores the meaning of marriage in our society.

School management and organizationClass number: 370 Abstract: "This brilliant and readable book opens a variety of new perspectives on the development of public education in this country. Tyack does the most responsible, nonsentimental social history yet seen, and I think it highly likely that readers will find themselves educated, enlarged, and excited by what he says." - Maxine Greene, Today's Education. The One Best System a major new interpretation of what actually happened in the development of one of America's most influential institu¬tions. At the same time it is a narrative in which the participants them¬selves speak out: farm children and factory workers, frontier teachers and city superintendents, black parents and elite reformers. And it encompasses both the achievements and the failures of the sytem: the successful assimilation of immigrants, racism and class bias; the opportunities offer¬ed to some, the injustices perpetuated for others. Mr. Tyack has placed his colorful, wide-ranging view of history within a broad new framework drawn from the most recent work in history, sociol¬ogy, and political science. He looks at the politics and inertia, the ideolo¬gies and power struggles that formed the basis of our present educational system. Using a variety of social perspectives and methods of analysis, David Tyack illuminates for all readers the change from village to urban ways of thinking and acting over the course of more than one hundred years.

HistoryClass number: 907.2 Abstract: The weapon of pedants, the scourge of undergraduates, the bête noire of the "new" liberated scholar: the lowly footnote, long the refuge of the minor and the marginal, emerges in this book as a singular resource, with a surprising history that says volumes about the evolution of modern scholarship. In Anthony Grafton's engrossing account, footnotes to history give way to footnotes as history, recounting in their subtle way the curious story of the progress of knowledge in written form. Grafton treats the development of the footnote the one form of proof normally supplied by historians in support of their assertions as writers on science have long treated the development of laboratory equipment, statistical arguments, and reports on experiments: as a complex story, rich in human interest, that sheds light on the status of history as art, as science, and as an institution. The book starts in the Berlin of the brilliant nineteenth-century historian Leopold von Ranke, who is often credited with inventing documented history in its modern form. Casting back to antiquity and forward to the twentieth century, Grafton's investigation exposes Ranke's position as a far more ambiguous one and offers us a rich vision of the true origins and gradual triumph of the footnote. Among the protagonists of this story are Athanasius Kircher, who built numerous documents into his spectacularly speculative treatises on ancient Egypt and China; Pierre Bayle, who made the footnote a powerful tool in philosophical and historical polemics; and Edward Gibbon, who transformed it into a high form of literary artistry. Proceeding with the spirit of an intellectual mystery and peppered with intriguing and revealing remarks by those who "made" this history, The Footnote brings what is so often relegated to afterthought and marginalia to its rightful place in the center of the literary life of the mind. Contents note: Footnotes : the origin of a species; Ranke : a footnote about scientific history; How the historian found his muse : Ranke's path to the footnotes; Footnotes and the philosophie : an enlightenment interlude; Back to the future, I : De thou documents the details; Back to the future, II: the antlike industry of ecclesiastical historians and antiquaries; Clarity and distinctness in the abysses of erudition : the Cartesian origins of the modern footnote; Epilogue : some concluding footnotes; Record link: https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=14267 Hold
