8ed Der Beobachter der Genesis: Die Wissenschaft hinter der Schöpfungsgeschichte
by Alberto CanenDie Genesis ist seit Tausenden von Jahren ein Rätsel. Niemand war in der Lage zu verstehen, wovon der Text sprach, ob er nur ein einleitendes Gedicht zur Heiligen Schrift war oder ob er tatsächlich Informationen über die Schöpfung enthielt. Der Text der Genesis spaltet bis heute die Gemüter von Kreationisten und Wissenschaftlern. Mit diesem Buch hoffe ich, diese Trennung zwischen Wissenschaftlern und Kreationisten aufzuweichen, denn ich habe den Schlüssel entdeckt, der beide Welten vereint. Ich denke, der Schlüssel zum Geheimnis der Genesis liegt darin, zu verstehen, dass sie von jemandem erzählt wird. Einem Erzähler der Genesis. Jemand, der die Vision, die Gott ihm gibt, beobachtet und von dort aus erzählt, was er beobachtet, und er beobachtet es von seinem menschlichen und irdischen Standort aus. Dieser irdische und genaue Standort ist der Schlüssel zum Verständnis der Genesis.

He has a long path ahead: nine kilometers—over five-and-a-half miles—through the mountains and rain forests of Chile. But the boy doesn&’t mind. While he walks, he can count butterflies and lizards, and he can think about where the 15,000 steps he takes every morning could lead. Nine kilometers could bring the boy across ninety soccer fields, up the world&’s ten largest buildings, or into a classroom at last…Set against the lush backdrop of southern Chile, this book features one of the many children around the world who travel long distances in order to go to school. After the story, thoughtfully illustrated back matter explores the unique birds of Chile and the courage of similar students&’ journeys in other countries.

9 Powerful Practices of Really Great Mentors: How to Inspire and Motivate Anyone (9 Powerful Practices)

9/11 and Collective Memory in US Classrooms: Teaching About Terror (Routledge Research in Education #124)
by Cheryl Lynn DuckworthWhile current literature stresses the importance of teaching about the 9/11 attacks on the US, many questions remain as to what teachers are actually teaching in their own classrooms. Few studies address how teachers are using of all of this advice and curriculum, what sorts of activities they are undertaking, and how they go about deciding what they will do. Arguing that the events of 9/11 have become a "chosen trauma" for the US, author Cheryl Duckworth investigates how 9/11 is being taught in classrooms (if at all) and what narrative is being passed on to today’s students about that day. Using quantitative and qualitative data gathered from US middle and high school teachers, this volume reflects on foreign policy developments and trends since September 11th, 2001 and analyzes what this might suggest for future trends in U.S. foreign policy. The understanding that the "post-9/11 generation" has of what happened and what it means is significant to how Americans will view foreign policy in the coming decades (especially in the Islamic World) and whether it is likely to generate war or foster peace.
9/11 and the Academy: Responses in the Liberal Arts and the 21st Century World
by Mark Finney Matthew ShannonThis book explores the impact of September 11, 2001 upon interdisciplinary scholarship and pedagogy in the liberal arts. Since “the day that changed everything”, many forces have transformed institutions of higher education in the United States and around the world. The editors and contributors consider the extent to which the influence of 9/11 was direct, or part of wider structural changes within academia, and the chapters represent a wide range of interdisciplinary perspectives on how the production and dissemination of knowledge has changed since 2001. Some authors demonstrate that new forms of inquiry, exploration, and evidence have been created, much of it focused on the causes, consequences, and meanings of the terror attacks. Others find that scholars sought to understand 9/11 by applying old theoretical and empirical insights and reviving lines of questioning that have become relevant. The contributors also examine the impact of 9/11 on higher education administration and liberal arts pedagogies. Among the many collective findings is that scholars in the humanities and critical social sciences have been most attentive to the place of 9/11 in society and academic culture. This eclectic collection will appeal to students and scholars interested in the place of the liberal arts in the twenty-first century world.
