Lincoln, Abraham, 1809-1865. Lincoln on war. 1st ed.
Chapel Hill, N.C. : Algonquin Books of Chapel Hill,
c2011. President Lincoln used his own weapons--his
words--to fight the Civil War as brilliantly as any
general who ever took the field. In Lincoln on War,
historian Harold Holzer gathers and interprets Lincoln's
speeches, letters, memoranda, orders, telegrams, and
casual remarks, organizing them chronologically and
allowing readers to experience Lincoln's growth from an
eager young Indian War officer to a middle-aged dove
congressman to a surprisingly hardened and determined
hawk as the Union's commander-in-chief. We observe a
man willing to sacrifice life and treasure in
unprecedented quantities, to risk wounding the pride of
vain generals, and even to mislead the public if it meant
the preservation of an unbreakable union of states, the
destruction of slavery, and the restoration of America as
an example to inspire the world. This volume covers
strategy; tactics; the endless hiring, sustaining,
motivating, and dismissal of commanders; military
discipline; and military technology. Modern
commanders-in-chief have repeatedly quoted Lincoln to
justify their own wars, so it behooves us as citizens to
know Lincoln's record well. From masterpieces such as
the Gettysburg Address to lesser-known meditations on
God's purposes, Lincoln on War is the first book to
highlight exclusively Lincoln's sublime and enduring
words on war.--From publisher description. 973.7 LIN
Lincoln : a president for the ages. New York : Public
Affairs, 2012. "Lincoln, in theaters November 9,
portrays America's 16th president when he faced two
colossal challenges: winning the Civil War, and passing
the Thirteenth Amendment, outlawing slavery and
making permanent the promise of the Emancipation
Proclamation. The politics of wartime, which required
unity at all costs, conflicted with divisiveness of slavery.
The president had to be at once true to his ideals and
employ old-fashioned political cunning to outwit his
rivals. This companion book, featuring a foreword by
screenwriter Tony Kushner, invites historians and
Lincoln experts to imagine Lincoln in eras other than his
own, facing challenges of those times. How would
Lincoln have handled the Second World War, or the
politics of Civil Rights era, or the modern Republican
Party? Using the character of Lincoln presented in the
film - a man of high principle and low cunning - the
book shows how Lincoln, a president for the ages, might
indeed have taken America forward during other
historic moments of drama and opportunity. "--. "This
companion book to the major motion picture from
Steven Spielberg, starring Daniel Day-Lewis as
Abraham Lincoln, has leading historians answering the
question: What Would Lincoln Do? Lincoln portrays
America's 16th president when he faced two colossal
challenges: winning the Civil War, and passing the
Thirteenth Amendment, outlawing slavery and making
permanent the promise of the Emancipation
Proclamation. The politics of wartime, which required
unity at all costs, conflicted with divisiveness of slavery.

Phelps, Renata. Technology together : whole-school
professional development for capability and confidence.
Washington, DC : International Society for Technology
in Education, 2013. Professional development for
information and communications technology (ICT) can
be challenging for many reasons, not the least of which
are rapidly changing technologies and the varying levels
of ICT competencies within a school. Renata Phelps and
Anne Graham developed an ICT professional learning
program, Technology Together, to address these
challenges. At its core, Technology Together fosters a
school-wide culture of collaboration and support while
helping individual teachers to develop positive attitudes
toward ICT and the confidence they need to try new
technologies. It is the shift in attitudes, both schoolwide
and from individual teachers, that makes the biggest
difference-cultivating a desire for lifelong ICT learning
and an environment where teachers support each other
with technology integration. Guided by research and the
results theyve seen from implementing Technology
Together in schools,Phelps and Graham lead you
through this holistic, flexible method from planning,
implementation, and an introduction to the underlying
metacognitive approach, to advice on sustainability.

Tucker, Marc S. ed. Surpassing Shanghai : An agenda
for American education built on the world's leading
systems. Cambridge, MA : Harvard Education Press,
2011. "This book answers a simple question: How
would one redesign the American education system if
the aim was to take advantage of everything that has
been learned by countries with the world's best
education systems? With a growing number of countries
outperforming the United States on the most respected
comparisons of student achievement--and spending less
on education per student--this question is critical. With a
growing number of countries outperforming the United
States on the most respected comparisons of student
achievement--and spending less on education per
student--this question is critical. Surpassing Shanghai
looks in depth at the education systems that are leading
the world in student performance to find out what
strategies are working and how they might apply to the
United States. Developed from the work of the National
Center on Education and the Economy, which has been
researching the education systems of countries with the
highest student performance for more than twenty years,
this book provides a series of answers to the question of
how the United States can compete with the world's
best."--Publisher's description. PROF 379 TUC
