Im alten System bekam er aufgrund seines Engagements als Lehrer Berufsverbot und wurde so zum Systemgegner gemacht. Aber er sah die wunderbaren Chancen der Wende 1989 und war an der Neugründung der SPD in Thüringen maßgeblich beteiligt. In den neun Jahren als Landtagsabgeordneter konnte er den Neuanfang mitgestalten und war auch jahrzehntelang im Kreistag und Stadtrat von Gotha sowie in anderen Ehrenämtern aktiv. Mit 47 Jahren wird bei ihm schwarzer Hautkrebs diagnostiziert. Er fühlt das Ende seines Lebens. Hilfesuchend wendet er sich an einen ehemaligen Schüler, der jetzt Pastor ist.

Richard Brantley’s culminating monograph knits intellectual and spiritual autobiography with literary criticism. His measuring of faith in experience (empiricism) versus the experience of faith (evangelicalism)—fostered by parents steeped in literature—prefigured his career-long approach. A combination of personal commitment and professional dynamism sets a model for subjective as well as objective interpretation. Grappling with the sources of both taste and judgment seems called for in these dangerous times. Brantley’s memoir/lit-crit hybrid delivers art and life alike. What Others...

Today’s children, especially teenagers, live in a world that is much different than the one that existed just twenty years ago.

The effects of these factors have led to suicide becoming the second leading cause of death in teenagers in America! Circumstance has deprived these kids of the stability and perspective that they so ...

Most educators are remembered in passing – their legacies often confined to classroom walls and fleeting school years. But imagine a world where teachers can reconnect with their former students, not just as distant memories, but as influential figures in their lives once again. Teachers for Life introduces us to two educators who seize this very opportunity.

Luciano Iorizzo's autobiography has, at its core, a message of hope and optimism.

As his life takes shape, page after page, Luciano takes you from the hardscrabble streets of Park Slope during the Depression to army life overseas, to the stateside world of providing for his young family while pursuing a college degree, and finally, to the quiet roads of a sleepy college town in upper ...

Melvin Donalson’s Dream Warrior: Passages of a Creative-Scholar reveals a Black man’s artistic and educational journey during America’s decades of changes and challenges. Growing up in the South’s racial segregation of the 1950s, Mel survived the oppressive region through the bonds of family. Replanted within the integrated world of Massachusetts and Maine in the 1960s-1970s, and later to the Midwest and Los Angeles, his imagination was shaped through reading, music, and movies while honing educational skills that eventually led him to a Ph.D. from an Ivy League university.

TEACHING IN CHINA? LITTLE DID WE KNOW WHAT WE HAD LET OURSELVES IN FOR! These are the emails we sent home to Australia from the two schools in China at which we taught. They were usually written only hours after the experiences and emotions which they describe. They were written to friends from whom nothing was held back. They describe the schools, the teachers, the students, places we visited, and the experiences which took over the greater part of our lives during those two years, experiences which, it could be said, turned those lives upside down. They have not been edited, nor have they...
