What "matters" to Simon is the integration of moral and existential inquiry into the classroom; she argues that not only are moral and existential questions at the heart of the major disciplines they are also extremely compelling to students. But too much of what goes on in schools she contends is "the forming of uninformed opinions" and "decontextualized fact acquisition." Although she shows how even good teachers sometimes deflect or shut down important discussions Simon places the blame squarely on the education system that works "against teachers being able to incorporate discussions of substantive issues into their classrooms." As in many recent books the villain is the standardized test and the stakes for both students and teachers attached to it. Simon writes fluently integrating transcripts of classroom discussions smoothly into her narrative and engagingly conveying her idealist's passion for reform. To reconsider education's entire enterprise is a very tall order however and Simon acknowledges the enormous obstacles her project faces. Readers will agree that students shouldn't continue to feel disengaged in school because they're denied the chance to ask and answer essential questions but they may be skeptical of Simon's starry-eyed recipe for change. - Publishers Weekly -- with a bonus offer--; 520-simkg; Simon Katherine G.

Smith, Morton (honoree); Fausto Parente and Joseph Sievers (editors)Biblio.com

Josephus and the History of the Greco-Roman Period. Essays in Memory of Morton Smith

1994rif. 53186Leiden: E. J. Brill 1994. First edition. Hardcover. Very good . Octavo. 10 392 2pp. Index and 32 page bibliography. Text in English with some Hebrew & Greek added for emphasis. Blue cloth gilt publisher's device on front cover. Frontispiece portrait of Morton Smith. An ex-library copy with minimal rubber stamping on title & at bottom of text block and with the trace of a removed library pocket on rear pastedown. Josephus and the History of the Greco-Roman Period comprises a series of essays on the Jewish historian Flavius Josephus and on the history of the Second Temple period by many of the best-known specialists in the field. The contributions are revised versions of papers delivered at an international colloquium in memory of Professor Morton Smith that was held at San Miniato Italy in November 1992. The essays cover a broad range of historical and historiographical issues concerning the Seleucid Hasmonean Herodian and Roman periods for which the importance of Josephus - often our only extant source - can hardly be overestimated. Josephus' trustworthiness as a historian is newly investigated from various angles. Fresh light is thrown on philological literary geographical archaeological sociological and religious questions. The book includes a critical evaluation of Morton Smith's scholarly achievement.
