The videos were produced by Encyclopaedia Britannica. For reasons unknown, sometime after their original publication, these videos were lost.<br /><br />Three hours with Mortimer Adler and Charles Van Doren, lively discussing the art of reading, on one DVD. A must for libraries and classroom teaching the art of reading.<br /><br />I cannot exaggerate how instructive these programs are--we are so sure that you will agree, if you are not completely satisfied, we will refund your donation.<br /><br />Please go here to see a clip and learn more:<br /><br />http://www.thegreatideas.org/HowToReadABook.htm<br /><br />ISBN: 978-1-61535-311-8<br /><br />Thank you,<br /><br />Max Weismann<br />Max Weismannhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02742941008674215644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40801807770246026.post-81803521587325233112013-07-06T17:36:58.272+05:302013-07-06T17:36:58.272+05:30Thanks for the comment.

Whether the book/reading material is in digital or printed form, whether it is bought from an online store or a traditional book store, &quot;reading&quot; is what matters. The book in discussion guides a reader how to approach a text for reading and understanding.Kshema Prakashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18135162980254859690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40801807770246026.post-86453655464653696342013-07-06T17:28:44.680+05:302013-07-06T17:28:44.680+05:30Reading books online and buying them from online s...Reading books online and buying them from online stores is a new obsession in youngsters.Its a digital world now where every essential knowledge is now in digital form from where we can read,amend and download it from online stores.Online Book Store In Indiahttp://books.pricedekho.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40801807770246026.post-66312750778821720092013-01-08T09:53:31.024+05:302013-01-08T09:53:31.024+05:30Thanks :)Thanks :)Kshema Prakashhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18135162980254859690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40801807770246026.post-30631223487038252332013-01-07T19:45:43.178+05:302013-01-07T19:45:43.178+05:30The contents are really good…giftwithlove.comThe contents are really good…giftwithlove.comgifthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05452925475555820072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40801807770246026.post-19891486946495425982011-09-28T01:43:17.153+05:302011-09-28T01:43:17.153+05:30nice article thanks for sharing it with us here. ...nice article thanks for sharing it with us here.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.brandzshop.com/" title="online shopping <br /><br />india" rel="nofollow">brand shop</a>pruthvi chaitanyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10190504532933544582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40801807770246026.post-9575291791222035052011-04-24T09:54:31.013+05:302011-04-24T09:54:31.013+05:30Keep posting stuff like this i really like it che...Keep posting stuff like this i really like it<br /><br /><a href="http://fastrx.biz#866" rel="nofollow">cheap cialis</a>cewitailhttp://cewitail.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40801807770246026.post-65001255913999130152011-04-04T09:54:58.635+05:302011-04-04T09:54:58.635+05:30I subscribe to this idea.

They are edifices that civilizations build for themselves, their young and their friends and enemies in an attempt to symbolise what they stand for.<br /><br />So, they are not merely about how knowledge is preserved and shared, but about the social, cultural and political processes of emphasizing and often defining what a social group considers important, relevant and therefore worth preservation. If we look closely, we are what our libraries are.<br /><br />In the most flexible and lively versions of libraries, the process of procuring, preserving, augmenting and sharing the knowledge would expand with little brittleness of attitude so as to include computers and IT.<br /><br />But even in its most retarded form, see what libraries can give us: the sheer awe-inspiration and tingling of nerves when we see rows upon rows of well-kept books, the smell of glue and leather binding, the sheen of gold lettering, and the feeling of being a small baby among the temples of one&#39;s ancestors.<br /><br />This is what individual households can rarely give, and so I think libraries would never be irrelevant. And the role of the librarian? Same as the soul had in the body.<br /><br />I believe that a librarian should not be merely an agent of change. A librarian should also struggle tooth and nail for keeping what is old. Should be tolerant towards the most debunked and criticized authors - sometimes some people are a generation ahead of their times, so they are valued only much after their copies are burned and - sometimes, they are, too. And the librarian should be a loving parent who loves the members as if they needed gentle hand-holding. A librarian should also be a politician that strives to get more resources and membership - and more...margie parikhhttp://margieparikh.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40801807770246026.post-64430089897723719492010-10-14T06:51:19.877+05:302010-10-14T06:51:19.877+05:30RS A thought provoking question.

Mere vocational training to become a cubicle serf? Or is it the classical liberal arts education of the free person, that aims to develop the whole person? This seems to be the major battle brewing now here in the US. <br /><br />If higher ed. is merely vocational preparation, learning the minimal amount of reading, arithmetic, and social skills necessary to function in a corporate bureaucracy, then, no, libraries are no longer relevant.<br /><br />If it is more a liberal education of the whole person, even for those in the sciences, then, yes, libraries need to remain. <br /><br />My thought is that before we get to what to do with libraries going forward, we need to define what higher education is.Jason Pannonehttp://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~pannone/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40801807770246026.post-72731140720200327542010-10-13T16:01:15.424+05:302010-10-13T16:01:15.424+05:30Thanks for the compliments.
