Agnorance. Is it even a word? Doug Sheehy believes it is since he authored it. Agnorance is discussed in full detail along with other memoirs, musings and madness from an unprofessional writer and attempted humorist named Doug. This book is filled with stories from Doug's life as well as his thoughts on a variety of topics and even a few choice recipes. There is plenty to learn about Doug and his thoughts on being the author of agnorance. This book basically picks up where his previous book, "Arrogance and Ignorance Can Get You Far" left off. The 47 chapters are brief yet entertaining.
The continuing war in Iraq, Hurricane Katrina, the political sniping engendered by the Supreme Court nominations, Terry Schiavo - contemporary American society is characterized by divisive anger, profound loss, and danger. Wendell Berry, one of the country's foremost cultural critics, addresses the menace, responding with hope and intelligence in a series of essays that tackle the major questions of the day. Whose freedom are we considering when we speak of the ''free market'' or ''free enterprise?'' What is really involved in our National Security? What is the price of ownership without affection? Berry answers in prose that shuns abstraction for clarity, coherence, and passion, giving us essays that may be the finest of his long career.

With this book Immanuel Velikovsky first presented the revolutionary results of his 10-year-long interdisciplinary research to the public, founded modern catastrophism - based on eyewitness reports by our ancestors - shook the doctrine of uniformity of geology as well as Darwin's theory of evolution, put our view of the history of our solar system, of the Earth and of humanity on a completely new basis - and caused an uproar that is still going on today. Worlds in Collision - written in a brilliant, easily understandable and entertaining style and full to the brim with precise information - can be considered one of the most important and most challenging books in the history of science. Not without reason was this book found open on Einstein's desk after his death. For all those who have ever wondered about the evolution of the earth, the history of mankind, traditions, religions, mythology or just the world as it is today, Worlds in Collision is an absolute MUST-READ!
This book develops new ideas in feminist epistemology by exploring diverse and sometimes positive roles for ignorance. The author argues that epistemic values cannot simply be reduced to the value of increasing knowledge and that ignorance is not merely inescapable for epistemic agents, but, rather, is valuable. She shows that ignorance-friendly epistemology offers a better descriptive and normative account of human epistemic practices. --publisher.
After years of prepping for the most important day of school, the first day, I came up with a phrase you, the reader, will come across numerous times: failure is the condiment for the flavor of success. I tell any teacher willing to listen that the first day is imperative as far as standard impressions are made and, in general, what the expectations would be. My eloquence to quote, vastly lacking by my own estimates, pale in comparison to most. The reader throughout this book will find many quotes, as appropriate as I deemed necessary and proper. Proper credit has been given to acknowledge those in history who have provided me with empowerment and inspiration for all the students to understand. Hoping that after thirteen years of AP world history teaching, the challenges should be greater than the regular class: supplying the above quote should have a more emphatic sense of the direction we were about to head. The right to fail, to try, and try again, if necessary, using various techniques and insights offered should provide the support these students would so desperately deserve. Nothing of value comes easy; it comes with struggleexperiencing the wrong to get it right. No student left behind is the credo for most public schools in the state. This is a more than subtle way of sending the message to all who educate our young today. As subtly is their forte this quote leads to an assumption that all students should be passed! Teachers become less stringent toward the academics: the reason they were hired in the first place! The personal baggage, which I allude to in the book, can be infectious for both teacher and student. I estimate that stress is all-consuming and deserves to be addressed, rather than allowing it to become all-consuming, much like the Leviathan. An autonomous teacher appears to be headed to the endangered species list. I lived to tell the tale. Teachers are dropping out like flies: those who refuse the autotron demands placed upon them by their higher-ups, those who fail to assist students in their most vital needsto know. Like Diogenes, good teachers shine their lamp to look for a willing student. I am a passionate man. This I admitted to as a fault when asked, in my interview for the educational position/job, What are your shortcomings as a teacher? I admitted that I care too much. This can be a deterrent. Maybe, if I could take literary license from Emily Dickinson (18301886), I can be summed up as follows: Im somebody. Who are you? Are you somebody, too? Then theres a pair of usdont tell! Theyd banish us, you know. Baggage / being close-minded / being self-important / being self-righteous/ nay-saying / being oblivious to moral obligation / utilized or brutalized into acceptance and ever popular entitlement expectationsthis is this arrogance of ignorance.
Living in today's society is difficult. Some of do not get the facts of what is going on around us. Some of us think we know it all and do not need any input. Some of us need to be more tolerate of others. This book is intended to sort through definitions of arrogance and ignorance, knowledge and stupidity. It shares some insight of how the rest of the world might feel or think. It provides content for self evaluation and growth.
