(P/B) ARTS AND THE CREATION OF MIND
Εκδότης: YALE UNIVERSITY PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 4218-0369

Although the arts are often thought to be closer to the rim of education than to its core, they are, surprisingly, critically important means for developing complex and subtle aspects of the mind, argues Elliot Eisner in this engrossing book. In it he describes how various forms of thinking are evoked, developed, and refined through the arts. These forms of thinking, Eisner argues, are more helpful in dealing with the ambiguities and uncertainties of daily life than are the formally structured curricula that are employed today in schools. ...

Εκδότης: YALE UNIVERSITY PRESS

There is one thing we can be sure of: we are all going to die. But once we accept that fact, the questions begin.

Εκδότης: YALE UNIVERSITY PRESS

From ham radio operators to HIV/AIDS activists, these modem enthusiasts developed novel forms of c...
