Multiple Pathways to the Student Brain by Janet Zadina

Call Number: 370.152 Z17m 2014

From an award-winning neuroscience researcher with twenty yearsof teaching experience, Multiple Pathways to the StudentBrain uses educator-friendly language to explain how the brainlearns. Steering clear of ?neuro-myths,? Dr. JanetZadina discusses multiple brain pathways  for learning andprovides practical advice for creating a brain-compatibleclassroom. While there are an abundance of books and workshops that aim tointegrate education and brain science, educators are seldom givenconcrete, actionable advice that makes a difference in theclassroom. Multiple Pathways to the Student Brain bridgesthat divide by providing examples of strategies  forday-to-day instruction aligned with  the latest brain science. The book explains not only the sensory/motor pathways that arefamiliar to most educators (visual, auditory, and kinesthetic), italso explores the lesser known pathways--reward/survival, language,social, emotional, frontal lobe, and memory/attention--and how theycan be tapped to energize and enhance instruction. Educators are forever searching for new and improved ways toconvey information and inspire curiosity, and research suggeststhat exploiting different pathways may have a major effect onlearning. Multiple Pathways to the Student Brain allowsreaders to see brain science through the eyes of ateacher?and teaching through the eyes of a brainscientist.

Brain-Based Learning by Eric P. Jensen

Call Number: 370.152 J545b 2008

In this second edition of Brain Based Learning: The New Paradigm of Teaching, educator and brain researcher Eric Jensen offers a learning approach that is closely aligned with how the brain naturally learns. Based on empirical brain research from the disciplines of neuroscience, biology, and psychology, Jensen′s text explains how the relationship between learning and the brain can impact emotions, patterns, gender, meaningfulness, environments, body rhythms, attitudes, enrichment, and assessment, and how it influences the effects of stress and trauma. The book′s powerful information suggests ways for transforming schools into complete learning organizations by providing students with an optimal learning environment. Implementation of brain-based schooling has proven to increase graduation rates, decrease learning difficulties and discipline problems, and create conditions for the love of learning to flourish.

 

Teaching Struggling Readers by Carol A. Lyons

Call Number: 372.43 L991t

Marie Clay, in her foreword, says that this important book will help raise the profile for what is needed to get all children off to a good start in education. And a good place to start is with Carol Lyons. Lyons does a masterful job of introducing teachers to the concepts, categories, language, and arguments pertaining to the brain's control of what readers do. She offers a new way of thinking about learning, about how the mind develops, and about what teachers can do to reach struggling readers. She draws on examples from interactions with her son and her own teaching, from research, and from the work of ten expert teachers, who have successfully taught those children often considered the hardest to teach-children with learning disabilities, language delays, or attention deficit (hyperactivity) disorder. In addition, she supplies numerous transcripts of teacher-student conversations and end-of-chapter tips to guide teachers to observe their students and plan instruction more effectively. Lyons' lifework has been the cognitive development of children. For decades, she has worked side by side with them, observing and researching what exactly goes on as they read and write. Now she has given us a book that is both accessible and fascinating, that explores topics too often overlooked or avoided. She offers a breakthrough explanation of the role emotion and the brain play in learning to read. Most important, she provides specific advice, with examples, to illustrate how to enable students to read and write, whatever their needs or abilities.

We're Born to Learn by Rita Smilkstein

Call Number: 370.152 S641w

`This author not only summarizes the theories and research regarding how the brain functions in the process of learning--natural learning--she also shows how she has continued to apply it in her own teaching and learning′ - Robert Pinney, Director, Extension Teacher Education Programs, Western Washington University `This is an important and useful book--readable, practical, and inspiring advice for the practicing teacher. This is a great translation of theory into practice, and Rita′s stories of her own work are especially compelling′ - Jean MacGregor, National Learning Communities Project, The Evergreen State College, Olympia, Washington This book is intended to make it possible for all students to realize their potential as natural learners. It shows teachers how to make this possible - not with attention-getting activities that are more or less peripheral to the curriculum, but with the curriculum itself. Written for all teachers from K-12 through higher education, as well as future educators, this volume also provides information for parents, students in general, and everyone who wants to know how the brain learns. Chapters Two and Three discuss two areas of research related to learning: classroom/field research and neuroscience research. These two areas are brought together in Chapter Six, leading to principles for developing brain-compatible, natural-learning curricula for any subject at any level. The author provides examples of classroom-proven applications of the theory, and Chapters Eight and Nine, using guidelines and models, show how this research-based theory can be applied to the development of curricula for any classroom. Examples of how to develop lesson plans and curricula for a unit, course, or program will be useful for teachers in all subjects.

The Spirit of Service by Brian T. Johnson (Editor); Carolyn R. O'Grady (Editor)

Call Number: 378.103 S759 2006

In The Spirit of Service , the contributing authors explore the intersection of faith, service, and social justice in higher education. Reflecting upon the role that higher education plays in preparing future generations of citizens and leaders, this book asserts that spirituality and values necessarily involve one's person-and that educators must begin to connect student learning with the human experiences of faith, service, and commitment to social justice. Each of the authors describes a teaching experience in order to critically reflect upon the divide in academic culture between responsible, rigorous, intellectual competence and personal values. The authors' lessons in success and failure are meant to provide guidance for all institutions that are committed to preparing young students to lead lives of leadership and civic engagement. Divided into three parts, this book: Explores the meaning, practice, and implications of religions or spiritually motivated service Offers specific examples from faculty for integrating faith or spiritual perspectives with service, including what has worked and what dilemmas remain Focuses on specific dilemmas and implications for engaging in service for social justice Containing a wealth of practical suggestions and strategies, The Spirit of Service represents a conversation in progress; it is an attempt to understand how to help undergraduates integrate service and spirituality for the purpose of social justice.

 

Christian Faith and Scholarship by AEHE Staff; Perry F. Glanzer; Todd C. Ream

Call Number: 378.071 C555 2007 v.33 no.2

In the twenty-first century, religious faith has reemerged from the margins of modernism and moved back to the center of contemporary scholarly conversations. "When Jacques Derrida died," Stanley Fish recently wrote, "I was called by a reporter who wanted to know what would succeed high theory and the triumvirate of race, gender, and class as the center of intellectual energy in the academy. I answered like a shot: religion." A group of evaluators of the Lilly Endowment's Initiative on Religion and Higher Education recently agreed. "There is today more discussion about the role of religion in the academy than at any time in the past 40 years and more commitment to the project of Christian higher education than there was just ten years ago." In recognition of these developments, this particular monograph offers an overview of the various ways conversations about religion and religiously informed scholarship are increasing in the academy. Although a growing number of faith traditions are finding their place in this conversation, the Christian tradition in its various forms is still the dominant voice. This monograph addresses the history of secularization in American higher education and scholarship; the historical and resistance by dominant religious traditions to that secularization; the contemporary ways that individual scholars, networks, and institutions approach the question of religious faith and scholarship; the concerns such a question raises for academic freedom; and the relationship between religious faith and scholarship.

What a priceless gift this book is." --Richard T. Hughes, Director of the Center for Faith and Learning, Pepperdine University

 

Hutchins Library is hosting local photographer Ray LeBlanc's work in our central display area through the month of October 2019. This exhibit is free and open to the public. Note that the photographs are for sale. Anyone interested in purchasing can contact the photographer directly. There is contact information for the artist in the display area.

Selection of photos by Ray LeBlanc featured in the library during October

Press release (by Dodie Murphy) to learn more about the photograher:

An artist’s reception – free and open to the public – for art photographer Ray LeBlanc [was held] from 4 to 7 PM Thursday, Oct. 3, at Hutchins Library on the Berea College campus. Refreshments will be served. The exhibit closes Oct. 31.

     LeBlanc shoots pictures of beauty, things that are loving and make him happy. He specializes in nature’s flora and fauna, clouds, rain and rainbows, tranquil boats – some surrounded by crab traps – as well as old barns, fences and gates, waterscapes, landscapes and cityscapes, and sunrises and sunsets.

     His photographs were taken throughout Kentucky and all over the world. He’s called an artist by people who are artists, “and it’s very humbling to be called an artist by them,” LeBlanc reflected.

     His eyes see art in a split-second, and in another one it reaches his heart. He wants to keep the memories forever. So, that’s what LeBlanc does: he captures love along with happy and beauty, and what he sees he hopes will capture the heart of others as well. “I want to make them happy, too.”

     A Marine platoon sergeant in the Vietnam War, LeBlanc, who is now 72 and lives in Lexington – yet regularly walks and hikes in Berea – retired after a career in real estate and mortgages. Since America honors veterans in November, only a week or so after his exhibit closes. A friend suggested October to showcase how photography by one amateur, a veteran with a camera as his hobby, became an artistic calling. After all, the root of the word amateur is doing something simply for the love of doing it.

     Sixty thousand photographs, more or less, are stored on his computer and memory cards. He had intended to use retirement to cull his collection and save his favorites, the ones he hopes to remember forever, those loved by family and friends. Right now, though, he’s not culling, he’s perusing and pondering, picking and choosing.

     “It’s fair to say I might be selecting or changing photographs while I’m hanging them. Why, I might even exchange ones for others throughout the show.”

     For more information, LeBlanc’s email is trapmar@hotmail.com. He’s available to answer questions, to educate, to hear suggestions about a patron’s idea of beauty. His work also can be seen on etsy.com; his site there is rayleblancphotograph.

Travis, and other poems of the Swannanoa Valley by Billy Edd Wheeler

Call Number: 821 W562t Copy 2

Vegetarianism refers to voluntary abstinence from eating meat. Vegetarians refrain from eating meat for various reasons, including religious, health, and ethical ones. Lacto-ovo vegetarians supplement their diet with dairy (lactose) products and eggs (ovo). Vegans (pronounced vee-guns) do not eat any animal-derived products at all. The term vegetarian was coined in 1847, when the Vegetarian Society of the United Kingdom—the oldest organized vegetarian group in the world—was founded in Ramsgate, Kent. The Society, which has included George Bernard Shaw and Mahatma Gandhi among its members, chose the word vegetarian for its name because it is derived from the Latin vegetus, which means “lively” or “vigorous,” and because it suggests the English word vegetable. Vegetarian eating patterns have been associated with improved health outcomes including: Lower levels of obesity, a reduced risk of heart disease, lower blood pressure, lower proportion of calories from fat and fewer overall calories and more fiber, potassium, and vitamin C than non-vegetarians.

The Complete Vegetarian by Peggy Carlson (Editor)

ISBN: 9780252075063

Publication Date: 2009-01-07

Citing health concerns as the number one reason why people adopt a vegetarian diet, this collection makes important scientific connections between good health and vegetarianism. The Complete Vegetarian examines the diet's impact on chronic diseases and serves as a nutritional guide and meal-planning resource. Leading vegetarian nutritionists and medical doctors devote entire chapters to nutritional aspects that include fats, protein, and fiber; to diseases such as diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and high blood pressure; and to vegetarian meal planning, including specialized diets for children, pregnant women, and athletes.

The Complete Vegetarian promises to be an essential resource for health professionals and the growing number of people who have adopted or are thinking about adopting a vegetarian lifestyle. Contributors include John J. B. Anderson, Dina Aronson, Peggy Carlson, James Craner, Brenda Davis, Simon K. Emms, Jeanene Fogli, Suzanne Havala Hobbs, Michael A. Klaper, Erin L.

No More Bull! by Glen Merzer; Joanna Samorow-Merzer; Howard F. Lyman

ISBN: 0743286987

Publication Date: 2005-09-20

In 1996, when Howard Lyman warned America on The Oprah Winfrey Show that Mad Cow Disease was coming to America, offended cattlemen sued him and Oprah both. Not only were Lyman and Oprah vindicated in court, but events have proved many of Lyman's predictions absolutely right. Mad Cow Disease has come to America, and Lyman argues persuasively in No More Bull! that the problem will only grow more deadly until our government deals with it seriously. In Mad Cowboy, Lyman, a fourth-generation Montana rancher turned vegetarian then vegan, told the story of his personal transformation after a spinal tumor, which he believes was caused by agricultural chemicals, nearly left him paralyzed. In No More Bull!, Lyman uses his humor, compassion, firsthand experience in agriculture, and command of the facts of health to argue that we might all profit by transforming our diets. He makes a powerful case that Alzheimer's is yet another disease linked to eating meat. And he explains that the steak at the heart of your dinner plate not only may destroy your own heart but actually offers no more nutritional value than a doughnut! If you've been confused by the competing claims of the Atkins Diet, the South Beach Diet, and other fad diets, No More Bull! is the book that will set you straight. Its pure, unvarnished truth is told with down-home common sense. Lyman's got a message for meat eaters, vegetarians, and vegans -- and the message of No More Bull! is that we can all do better for ourselves and the planet.

Sins of the Flesh by Rod Preece

Publication Date: 2008-10-07

Unlike previous books on the history of vegetarianism, Sins of theFlesh examines the history of vegetarianism in its ethicaldimensions, from the origins of humanity through to the present. Fullethical consideration for animals resulting in the eschewing of flesharose after the Aristotelian period in Greece and recurred in AncientRome, but then mostly disappeared for centuries. It was not until theturn of the nineteenth century that vegetarian thought was revived andenjoyed some success; it subsequently went into another period ofdecline that lasted through much of the twentieth century. Theauthority-questioning cultural revolution of the 1960s brought a freshresurgence of vegetarian ethics that continues to the present day.

Of Victorians and Vegetarians by James Gregory

ISBN: 9781845113797

Publication Date: 2007-06-29

Nineteenth-century Britain was one of the birthplaces of modern vegetarianism in the West. In 'Of Victorians and Vegetarians' James Gregory explores the relationship between this newly organized movement and wider culture and society. It evolved with a myriad of meanings and voices: partly for propagandist reasons, but also because of the varied motivations and characteristcs of vegetarians. Teetotallers, animal lovers, mystics, spiritualists and theosophists, as well as those who saw the diet as an effective and democratic medical treatment, all provided the constituents for a movement whose critics associated it with radicalism and faddism. Frequently counter-cultural, in its association with socialism and communitarianism throughout the period, vegetarianism also expressed in heightened form the already well-established values of self-help, philanthropy, thrift, Puritanism, domesticity and a belief in progress
