New copy. Stated Second Edition. NO remainder marks or clippings. Tight spine, bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears. 295 pages. Synopsis: Althen (former foreign student adviser, U. of Iowa) gives advice to foreign visitors to the U.S. that is intended to help them understand the motivations, attitudes, communication styles, and actions of Americans. Emphasizing the interpretation of observed behavior, he covers ways of reasoning and American ideas about politics, family life, education, religion, the media, social relationships, racial and ethnic diversity, male-female relationships, sports and recreation, driving, shopping, personal hygiene, and organizational and public behavior. Over-generalization is an understandable danger in such a work as this, but Althen does make an effort to emphasize that there are variations among Americans, while he concentrates on the similarities.

From The Critics Library Journal In this collection of essays, four distinguished members of the Harvard history faculty Bernard Bailyn, Donald Fleming, Oscar Handlin, and Stephan Thernstrom delightful insights into Harvard's intriguing past. This is not a systematic history of an institution. Instead, the authors provide vignettes that illustrate the character of Harvard, as seen, for example, in the leadership of presidents such as Charles W. Eliot or in the nurturing environment often a product of student attachment to such teachers as Charles W. Townsend or George Santayana. More than just mementoes, these essays are highly instructive of the forces that have shaped American higher education, especially since the late 1900s. Recommended. Richard H. Quay, Miami Univ.

Bates, Stephen Battleground: One Mother's Crusade, the Religious Right, and the Struggle for Control of Our Classrooms
Poseidon Press 1993 0671793586 / 9780671793586 Hard Cover Fine Near-Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
Near-new condition - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Dustcover shows slight wear (NO tears) 363 pages - Illustrated with photos - NO writing, marks or tears inside book - Tight spine - Bright pages - In Church Hill, a devoutly religious community in the mist-shrouded mountains of East Tennessee, housewife Vicki Frost detected the influence of Satan in her children's schoolbooks. Horrified, she complained to the school board that texts with such themes as evolution, feminism, and telepathy could turn children away from God. But the board members rebuffed Frost and her handful of allies. A principal ridiculed them. When she tried to remove her second-grade daughter from class, Frost was arrested and jailed. So she and some other parents filed suit in federal court. What began as a ragtag schoolbook protest quickly escalated into a ferocious proxy war between two Washington behemoths, powerful outsiders who intensified, reshaped, and exploited the conflict. Concerned Women for America, a religious-right organization dedicated to "protecting the rights of the family," squared off against People for the American Way, the liberal, media-savvy organization founded by Norman Lear to combat "the greatest immediate threat to our pluralistic society: the growing power of the Religious New Right." At stake were profound issues that a democratic society must continually confront, among them the limits of tolerance, the separation of church and state, and the rights of parents in their children's education. The dramatic, bitterly fought "Scopes II" trial (as journalists dubbed it) became front-page news across the country. The courtroom battle pitted one of the preeminent lawyers of the religious right, a scrappy former Moral Majority official with a quick wit and an even quicker temper, against a highpriced, smooth-talking Washington litigator. Star witness Vicki Frost and her allies were denounced by The New York Times, chided by George Bush, mocked by Lewis Grizzard, and lauded, to their dismay, by the Ku Klux Klan. With consummate skill and scrupulous fairness, Stephen Bates vividly recounts this riveting saga. He depicts the leading figures on both sides in full hum
