"The Triple Whammy" and Other Russian Stories: A Memoir
by Luis MenasheAn American historian, film specialist, and documentary filmmaker shares candid stories of his life in Russia during and after the Cold War. A captivating lifetime of personal and professional experiences by an American historian, film specialist, and documentary filmmaker in the Soviet Union and post-Soviet Russia. The author&’s experiences as a radical in the turbulent 1960s, and his eventual disenchantment offer some precedents and perspectives to all those on the Left, Center, or Right interested in the fluctuations of American politics. The vivid log of hopes and disillusions is related in a candid, non-academic style, and set against a panorama of history and politics in the late twentieth century.&“A self-described scholar-activist, Menashe weaves together political, intellectual, and cultural currents of leftist life, and draws a vivid picture of people and places, life-changing adventures, the intellectual and political challenges of graduate school during the Cold War, encounters with key Russian literary and political figures, and much more. Then comes the crash, the Soviet Union&’s end. As in all failed love affairs, Menashe retains some sweet memories. The reader will taste them long after reading the memoir.&” —Carole Turbin, Professor Emerita, History and Sociology, SUNY/Empire State College

Triumph of the Spirit: The DPN Chronicle
by Angel M. RamosIn 1988 the world's only deaf liberal arts university, Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C. was ready for its next president. The Board of Trustees chose a hearing president who knew nothing about deafness. Unrest had been building on campus over this possibility, especially as there were highly qualified Deaf applicants. When the hearing person was selected and announced, the students exploded in protest. The next 7 days were covered by the national and international news media. What happened at Gallaudet had enormous worldwide impact. Since that protest, Deaf people have proudly advanced in all occupations. The DPN Movement has been likened to a civil rights movement for Deaf people. The author, Angel Ramos, PhD., was directly involved in the protest. Note: all spelling errors were in the print text.

Triumphs of Our Fleur-de-Lys: 150 Years of Trinity College Melbourne
by Peter CampbellTrinity College opened in 1872 as the first student residence associated with the University of Melbourne. Established by the Anglican Church, it provided supervised accommodation and academic support for undergraduate students. Over the years, this was expanded to include a theological school (1877), a women's hostel (1886, later called Janet Clarke Hall), and a foundation studies program (1990) for overseas students wishing to qualify for entry to Australian universities. Triumphs of Our Fleur de Lys provides a detailed historical account of the college's development and public contribution, set alongside the social, political and education changes in Australia over the past 150 years. It examines the contributions of numerous people to the college's progress, and covers the role of tertiary education institutions; the admission of women to universities; student social and sporting life, including music, drama and religion; developments in theological education; the provision of scholarships and pastoral care; standards of accommodation, food and discipline; and the fundraising undertaken in order to provide the transformative experiences envisioned by the college's founders and still found in its current mission. This history is published in commemoration of Trinity College's 150th anniversary, celebrated in 2022.

Triviale Einsichten, die niemand befolgt: Wissenschaftliche und philosophische Erkenntnisse zu alltäglichen Fragen
by Jürgen BeetzWarum ist ein „Wirtschaftsweiser“ für Mindestlöhne und ein anderer dagegen? Wieso verfangen wir uns in ergebnislosen Diskussionen oder albernen Paradoxien, fallen auf die „Spielchen“ unserer Mitmenschen herein, verkennen Ursache und Wirkung, verwechseln Zufall und Vorbestimmung? Weshalb denken wir so und handeln anders? Sagen wir, was wir meinen oder meinen wir viel mehr oder etwas ganz anderes, als wir sagen? Wieso entstehen neue Systeme mit meist unerwarteten Eigenschaften „von selbst“? Wie entsteht eine neue Qualität durch eine veränderte Quantität? Dieses Buch zeigt, dass Philosophie, die „Liebe zur Weisheit“, auch im Alltag viele Probleme lösen und Handlungsanweisungen liefern kann. Dabei sind es oft „triviale Einsichten“, die uns einen Schritt voran bringen: Erkenntnisse, die wir schon längst haben oder durch ein wenig Nachdenken erlangen könnten, die wir aber einfach nicht beherzigen – aus vielfältigen Gründen, die hier ausführlich untersucht werden, mit dem Ziel, sie zu überwinden. Hier gehen Hirnforschung, Naturwissenschaften, Psychologie und Philosophie nebst einer Prise (Selbst-)Ironie eine interessante und amüsante Verbindung ein. Uns begegnen auf dieser Exkursion Paradoxien, die menschliche Evolution, zyklische Prozesse und seltsame Schleifen, Wahrnehmungstäuschungen, vernetzte Systeme und Regelkreise – schließlich das Chaos und die „objektive“ Wahrheit. Die Leser lernen, Querverbindungen und Zusammenhänge zu erkennen, die sie bisher nicht gesehen haben. Einfache Erkenntnisse werden erneut ins Gedächtnis gerufen. Wir entdecken offensichtliche Vorteile beim Gebrauch des Verstandes und vermeiden die kleinen aber tückischen Fallen des Alltags: fruchtlose Schwarz-/Weiß-Diskussionen, verborgene Zwickmühlen innerer Widersprüche, kostspieligen Aberglauben oder schädliche Psycho-Spiele. Also lautet die Devise: „Benutze deinen Verstand!“
The Trivium: The Liberal Arts of Logic, Grammar, and Rhetoric
by Sister Miriam Joseph Marguerite McGlinnWho sets language policy today? Who made whom the grammar doctor? Lacking the equivalent of l'Académie française, we English speakers must find our own way looking for guidance or vindication in source after source. McGuffey's Readers introduced nineteenth-century students to "correct" English. Strunk and White's Elements of Style and William Safire's column, "On Language," provide help on diction and syntax to contemporary writers and speakers. Sister Miriam Joseph's book, The Trivium: The Liberal Arts of Logic, Grammar, and Rhetoric, invites the reader into a deeper understanding—one that includes rules, definitions, and guidelines, but whose ultimate end is to transform the reader into a liberal artist. A liberal artist seeks the perfection of the human faculties. The liberal artist begins with the language arts, the trivium, which is the basis of all learning because it teaches the tools for reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Thinking underlies all these activities. Many readers will recognize elements of this book: parts of speech, syntax, propositions, syllogisms, enthymemes, logical fallacies, scientific method, figures of speech, rhetorical technique, and poetics. The Trivium, however, presents these elements within a philosophy of language that connects thought, expression, and reality. "Trivium" means the crossroads where the three branches of language meet. In the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, students studied and mastered this integrated view of language. Regrettably, modern language teaching keeps the parts without the vision of the whole. Inspired by the possibility of helping students "acquire mastery over the tools of learning" Sister Miriam Joseph and other teachers at Saint Mary's College designed and taught a course on the trivium for all first year students. The Trivium resulted from that noble endeavor. The liberal artist travels in good company. Sister Miriam Joseph frequently cites passages from William Shakespeare, John Milton, Plato, the Bible, Homer, and other great writers. The Paul Dry Books edition of The Trivium provides new graphics and notes to make the book accessible to today's readers. Sister Miriam Joseph told her first audience that "the function of the trivium is the training of the mind for the study of matter and spirit, which constitute the sum of reality. The fruit of education is culture, which Mathew Arnold defined as 'the knowledge of ourselves and the world.'" May this noble endeavor lead many to that end.

by Katherine Safford-Ramus Pradeep Kumar Misra Terry MaguireThis book presents a synopsis of six emerging themes in adult mathematics/numeracy and a critical discussion of recent developments in terms of policies, provisions, and the emerging challenges, paradoxes and tensions. It also offers an extensive review of the literature adult mathematics education. Why do adults want to learn mathematics? Did they enjoy mathematics at school so much that they want to continue? NO!

Lastly, the authors discuss five potential strategies to promote lifelong learning of mathematics among adult learners.
