    "This volume is a statement of principles. It is not a detailed discussion of particular methods, nor of particular types of organization, nor a defense of any particular curriculum. Neither is it intended as a treatise on the phiolosophy of religious education, such as Professor Coe has so splendidly achieved in his "Social Theory of Religious Education." In this new field of science, religious education, we find earnest workers in lay positions of the local church as well as in the ranks of the ministry. Inquiring students of religious education abound also on college and university teaching staffs. Among undergraduates in our institutions of higher learning an increasingly large number of inquiring minds are seeking to acquire a reasonable understanding of the scope of religious education. In reply to this interest, the many diverse ideas of religious education current present considerable confusion of thought. In has been our purpose, therefore, to bring together in one volume the bearing of the most important findings of scientific study upon the religious educative process. Yet mere compilation has been carefully avoided. The goal has been rather to obtain a single, comprehensive, balanced view, and attempt at basic organization into a coherent whole of all the elements in the science of religious education---a correlated system of fundamental ideas by which particular theories and efforts in religious education may be guided and tested. In brief, it is an introduction to the field of religious education in terms of principles. The execution of this aim led to the preparation of a tentative syllabus on the principles of religious education for study and general comment and criticism. Further working over and elaboration followed. Most of the material herein offered, therefore, has been tried out; for over three years in the cas of two church colleges, and for one year in tow others. I has also been used by several other study groups, in one..." [from preface]...

    Pompeius Trogus, a Romanized Gaul living in the age of Augustus, wrote a forty-four book universal history (The Philippic History) of the non-Roman, Mediterranean world. This work was later abbreviated by a certain M. Junianus Justinus, better known as Justin. This volume presents the first modern English translation and scholarly commentary on Books 11-12 of Justin's so-called 'Epitome' of the history. These books constitute one of the five major sources for the history of Alexander the Great and belong to the so-called 'Vulgate' tradition, which in the opinion of many scholars derives ultimately from the lost historian Clearchus of Alexandria. The original work of Pompeius Trogus appears to have had stylistic and historical influences on the better known History of Alexander by Quintus Curius Rufus. In this volume the authors tease out and differentiate as far as possible the relative contributions of the historian Trogus and the 'epitomator' Justin. The commentary examines the relationship of Justin-Trogus to both the extant sources and the works of the lost Alexander historians, and a serious attempt is made to explain errors or deviations from well-known sources in terms of the methods of historian and 'epitomator' before resorting to the expedient of textual emendation. A second volume, covering books 13-15, is forthcoming....

    Much research has recently been undertaken in the field of teaching methods and the different approaches to teaching within the classroom framework. Studying Teachers' Lives examines the background and personal experiences of a number of teachers, and the direct and indirect influences their individual situations have on their methods of teaching. Providing insights into the perceptions of teaching, the authors cover a wide range of issues from the importance of teachers socialisation to the question of teacher drop-out. Drawing on their diverse experience, they identify collective themes which run across many teachers' lives and reflect on the social structure in which their lives are embedded. They employ a range of different methodologies allowing the reader to assess their varying strengths and weakne ses, but throughout they reaffirm the centrality of the teacher in educational research....

    "THE ELUSIVE MRS. POLLIFAX By Dorothy Gilman, Narrated by Barbara Rosenblat." "Mrs. Pollifax has a beautiful new hat, an event worthy of the attention of the Garden Club in New Brunswick. But only Mrs. P. and that nice Mr. Carstaiirs at CIA Headquarters in Langley, Virginia, know it conceals not only Mrs. P's remarkable brain but eight false passports. All Mrs. Pollifax has to do is to deliver them to a man called Tsanko in Bulgaris. Simple. But, as fans and followers of the exquisite Mrs. P. know by now, nothing is ever plainly simple nor ever less than wildly adventurous: using fireworks, a bow and arrow, and a gaggle of geese, Mrs. Pollifax must engineer an escape from a Bulgarian prison---a little more problematic than smuggling some passports... During the night Mrs. Pollifax experienced a nightmare in which she was lying in bed and being ovserved... burglar who had entered her room. As she fought back to consciousness she discovered that she was indeed in bed, it was night and a man was standing at the foot of the bed looking down at her. He was clearly silhouetted against the window. "Mrs. Pollifax waited, breath suspended, for the man to identify himself as Tsanko. He did not. He moved stealthily away from the foot of the bed and went toward the closet, where he turned on a small flashlight. He leaned over the lock, his back to her. "If he wasn't Tsanko, she thought indignantly, then he must be a plain, old-fashioned burglar, and without stopping to consider the risks Mrs. Pollifax slid out of her bed and stood up. Carefully tiptoeing along the wall she came up behind the man, flattened her right hand and delivered a medium karate chop---at least she hoped it was only a medium below---to the side of his neck and watched him sink to the floor." ---from The Elusive Mr. Pollifax [from back of casecover]...
