Sommario/riassunto

Political science perceives the results of wars as fatal to the fate of nations, but the exact measures of national resilience during war have remained somewhat blurred. National Resilience during War: Refining the Decision-Making Model, by Eyal Lewin, is a multi-disciplinary study which explores political psychology as well as historical analyses of



geopolitical, economic, and technological determinants in refining a management model, and offers a comprehensive tool for future research in the field of national resilience

Sommario/riassunto

Too often both composition teachers and their students experience knowledge and authority as unchanging entities that cannot be challenged in classroom exchanges. Drawing on feminist, cultural, and poststructuralist theory, as well as work in the rhetorical tradition and composition studies, Hill offers less debilitating methods of thinking that teachers can model for their students. Richly illustrated with examples of classroom interactions and student work, the book also



shows teachers how to enrich their own intellectual and political lives within the academy.
