by Catherine Marshall
This collection of readings on key issues in Social Justice is written by well-known experts in the area and is edited by the leading authorities in the field.

FEATURES: Utilizes the most recent thinking, practice, and research, presented by the best scholars working in educational leadership and social justice.

Dumbth: The Lost Art of Thinking With 101 Ways to Reason Better & Improve Your Mind
Allen, Steve
Amherst: Prometheus Books. New. 1998. Soft Cover. 1573922374 . 390 pp. Critics raved about the first edition of "DUMBTH"--a work that one described as "the ultimate how-to book." Now updated and expanded with twenty new ways to think better, this is Steve Allen's humorous and provocative examination of the increasing <P>American tendency toward muddle-headedness and ineptitude, which Allen uniquely defines as "dumbth." After cataloguing a host of hilarious and sometimes alarming personal encounters with shoddy workmanship, bad service, failures to communicate, and the general breakdown in the capacity to reason, Allen offers 101 solutions to this widespread problem. He recommends that we add a fourth "R"--reasoning--to the traditional reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic. Always witty and thought-provoking, 'DUMBTH" makes a compelling case that thinking well, like any skill, requires study, practice, and application.<BR> .
