Ben Franklin of Old Philadelphia (Landmark Books)

Book Description

Benjamin Franklin was one of the busiest men in the American colonies. He was a printer, a postmaster, an inventor, a writer, and a diplomat. When the Revolutionary War began, Ben supported America in the Continental Congress. Like the clever adages from his Poor Richard’s Almanac, Ben Franklin still sets an example for Americans today.

Perfect for the targeted age.......2007-10-10

Ben Franklin of Old Philadelphia is a great book for the elementary school reader. When we visit historic sites we buy books about the people, places, and/or events of the area and time in history. This was one such book. This book gives the reader a good overview of the life of Ben Franklin, each chapter dealing with a different aspect of his life. It covers the major points without going into details that distract the young reader from the story of Benjamin Franklin's amazing life, highlighting some of his greatest accomplishments. As a mother and a historian, I highly recommend this book for the yound reader.

My 9 year-old reluctant reader is begging for this one..........2006-01-31

although she normally only enjoys fiction! She's giggling with excitement with every chapter and can't stop talking about this book! If you have have a reluctant history student and want to *spark* an interest in Ben Franklin's life and work, *experiment* with this excellent Landmark that reads more like a story than a biography!

Landmark books are always great.......2004-05-20

Landmark books are always great and this is no exception. Written by an excellent author, this is a good book for young people to learn about Ben Frankliin. Unfortuntely, children today seem to think that everything has to have a fun value! This book may not be "fun" in that sense, but it is a very interesting book about a very interesting person. It may not be politically correct by today's standards, but it is good solid history, a worthy book.

Giving a little balance.......2001-10-17

If you've been playing Nintendo all night and watching TV all day, the pace of this book is going to seem slow in comparison. But for the serious young reader who wants to learn interesting historical facts, this is a terrific book by a terrific author in a terrific series.

Book Description

Could Greek philosophy be rooted in Egyptian thought? Is it possible that the Pythagorean theory was conceived on the shores of the Nile and the Euphrates rather than in ancient Greece? Could it be that much of Western civilization was formed on the "Dark Continent"? For almost two centuries, Western scholars have given little credence to the possibility of such scenarios.

In Black Athena, an audacious three-volume series that strikes at the heart of today's most heated culture wars, Martin Bernal challenges Eurocentric attitudes by calling into question two of the longest-established explanations for the origins of classical civilization. To use his terms, the Aryan Model, which is current today, claims that Greek culture arose as the result of the conquest from the north by Indo-European speakers, or "Aryans," of the native "pre-Hellenes." The Ancient Model, which was maintained in Classical Greece, held that the native population of Greece had initially been civilized by Egyptian and Phoenician colonists and that additional Near Eastern culture had been introduced to Greece by Greeks studying in Egypt and Southwest Asia. Moving beyond these prevailing models, Bernal proposes a Revised Ancient Model, which suggests that classical civilization in fact had deep roots in Afroasiatic cultures.

This long-awaited third and final volume of the series is concerned with the linguistic evidence that contradicts the Aryan Model of ancient Greece. Bernal shows how nearly 40 percent of the Greek vocabulary has been plausibly derived from two Afroasiatic languages--Ancient Egyptian and West Semitic. He also reveals how these derivations are not limited to matters of trade, but extended to the sophisticated language of politics, religion, and philosophy. This evidence, according to Bernal, greatly strengthens the hypothesis that in Greece an Indo-European-speaking population was culturally dominated by Ancient Egyptian and West Semitic speakers. Provocative, passionate, and colossal in scope, this volume caps a thoughtful rewriting of history that has been stirring academic and political controversy since the publication of the first volume.

Black Athena -Ancient/Classical/Modern history.......2007-04-14

A very good addition to my library attributing to my greater understanding of true history.

A previous reviewer seems to imply that this book is full of "parti pris rhetoric", and that no intelligent, reasonable person who "believes history to be something that is objective, rather then something subjective that can be changed to fulfill the ego of insecure people" should not read this book.

The fact is archeologists; historians, scientist, theologists and philosophers have never been objective in their views. Simply read the life experiences of Socrates. Anyone that thinks history is objective, will only consider it objective within their own paradigm, and therefore cannot learn outside of that paradigm. "A person who knows everything cannot learn".

To imply that this book changes objective history to a "subjective one to fulfill the ego of an insecure people", is to show a high level of egotism and insecurity; Insecurity, for fear that the very belief upon which the ego rides will be altered or destroyed. Egotism, insecurity, and greed is foundation of feudalism, classism, racism, and tribalism.

Racism is relatively new. It is less than three hundred years old. I was first told this in college by my teacher (Anglo in nature) who has a PHD in history and taught at the University of Pennsylvania. In my own research in overt and convert history, I found this to be the absolute truth. It started during the period of enlightenment, when Europe, not the Celtic/Gaulic Europeans, but rather the Germanic/Viking tribes (Anglos, Visigoths, Osigoths, Varingians, Merovingians Lombards etc) had reached a level of self-realization, best expressed in illuminism.

In the quest of their belief that they were the enlighten race and that they were descendents of the Egyptians (not fully realizing that the Egyptians were black), they began expeditions to Egypt (and other places). For, who else could have built such monolithic structures other than their ancestry?

They came back sorely disappointed. You can see many of those disappointments by the smash noses of the statues they brought back. It was at this point you begin to see the masking of ancient history, and the birth of "evolution" which is falsely attributed to Charles Darwin.

I would not have believed this until I began my own research. It was most revealing to me, not in history, but in science. Consider this, two thousand years before the existence of Greece, the Sumerians (a black civilization) had already tabulated the exponential. But, who talks about this? One thousand years prior to the Greeks, the Egyptians priest were not theorizing, but rather, practicing spontaneous generation, which is still being rejected in today's "science", even though it's naturally occurring in nature.

One of the bigger shocks in my lifetime was the understanding that the DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) structure was conceive by a monk, not a chemist. The problem with any form of knowledge coming from the Orthodoxy of any field is that they have something to gain by imparting their form of knowledge, and to lose if they do not. This is the nature of human beings whether black or white, rich or poor. Like the philosophical Socrates, I consider the historian Martin Bernal a Gadfly. Without Gadflys, we would have perished long ago.

The Afroasiatic Roots outdating Classics Programs.......2007-02-03

"As a fault Bernal has muddied already muddied waters with attempting to ask the wrong questions ...and, those who have been 'refuting' him, have likewise addressed the wrong concerns. ... (but) If nothing else has come out of this debate, it is a realization that the notions of race as expressed by modern scholars reflect a modern industrial world and must be understood in that context." Eugene Cruz-Uribe

Black Athena, in a nutshell:
In Black Athena, Martin Bernal attempts to prove that the roots of Greek civilization and language came from Egypt and the Levant. Bernal argued in his first volume, 1987, that 18th and 19th century White scholarship, biasedly favored an 'Aryan/ Indo-European Model,' denying ancient Egyptian contributions. He attributed the European root search results to a racist dominated mentality. While Bernal proposal that ancient Egyptians were dark Africans, there is no proof of their Negroid classification. His work drifted to the extreme left supporting the wider allegation of Afrocentrism. The second volume of this projected four-volume work arouses fundamental questions of awe and skepticism, that touch almost every issue in American daily life: lack of logical dialogue, residual racism, failure of university programs.
To state that because Egypt is located on (NE corner of) of Africa, it is African, is merely simplistic. Does geography hold the only key to this classification? Dean Eugene Cruz-Uribe adds that, "... for many scholars that the anti-Bernal crusades that have evolved often have faulted Bernal ... and have thus downplayed the questions raised (that his outrageous theses addressed squarely one area of scholarship that Egyptologists and Classical historians had preferred not to address)".

Black Athena II:
Martin Bernal supports his thesis, by many Egyptian or Semitic roots for Greek words, while more recent discoveries in upper Egypt, indicated Phoenician alphabet could have evolved from Proto-Sinaitic into a more linear form during about the 12th century BC. The immediate offspring of Phoenician were the old Hebrew alphabet, and Aramaic, as well as Archaic Greek. No matter where and when the adoption of Egyptian signs onto a Semitic language occurred, the process of adoption is quite interesting. Bernal's striking examples, may exert a stronger potential in light of recent finds, but there is too much to be developed before his weaker cases could be supported by conclusive archeological reconstruction.
Much of the Bernal's archaeological interpretations though boldly genius, still lack solid evidential examples to convince. Bernal woven model of a "Pax Aegyptiaca" populations with cultural infilteration in the Aegean Bronze Age is no new idea. Bernal advances such cases that have been neglected or minimized by the Hellenocentricts. Bernal's blunt reconstructions go much further than warranted, comments John Lenz, "In fact he rejects a model of multiculturalism in favor of a scenario of widespread Egyptian colonization and domination."

Failure of Humanities:
How often do we hear Egyptian wisdom ignorantly depreciated by comparison with Greek philosophy? How many universities even offer courses on the ancient Near East and Egypt?
Harvard school's governing board selected a transforming leader reminiscent of Harvard's past great presidents, who set the agenda for higher education in the country and, as revered public intellectuals, dominated national debates. Dean Summers--himself a former Harvard economics wunderkind, convinced that his old school, (as mostly all ivy's) needs far more than a face lift, nothing less than a cultural revolution on campus. He initiated a review of the undergraduates study material that could ultimately help revise the definition of an effective liberal arts education program worthy of the 21st century, calling for a more interdisciplinary approach to learning as well (Bernal's self pursued agenda). Currently, humanities students major in traditional subjects, such as English or classics, while the nature of knowledge has vastly changed, many of the most exciting areas of inquiry cut across traditional disciplines, pointed the ousted dean. While the majority of Harvard's Faculty of Arts and Sciences -- which placed a pending vote of no confidence against Summers and seemed ready to move on it -- Summers still maintained strong support from some faculty members and a majority of students.

A compelling Review:
In an even handed analytical review, "Ancient Histories and Modern Humanities," By John Lenz, he concludes, "Black Athena, volume 2 is extremely heavy going and problematic. Informative and generally reasonable in tone, its scope and ambition put the work of most scholars to shame. Even hoary antiquarians will learn things, and other dedicated readers will be led into the fascinating alleyways of Aegean prehistory. Everyone, however, should read this work with extreme caution."

Revisiting the Central Claims of One-Dimensional Whiteness .......2007-01-08

"The central claims of Afrocentrism were prominently set forth in a controversial book, Black Athena, 2 vol. (1987-91), by white historian Martin Bernal. Since that time, Afrocentrism has encountered significant opposition from mainstream scholars who charge it with historical inaccuracy, scholarly ineptitude, and racism." Encyclopedia Britannica

A controversial book:
This is an earth breaking, thought provoking, and exciting book. It has been and will continue to be controversial, and polarizing as well. The author, Martin Bernal, is a professor at Cornell University, the son of John D. Bernal, who laid the foundation of molecular biology, and grandson of the great Oxford U. Egyptologist Sir Alan Gardiner. He proposes arguably that Greek civilization, was instead an off shot from Egypto-Levantine culture, rather than being the cradle of a distinguished European civilization, with its roots firmly planted in NE Africa and SW Asia. He proposes that the Greek classical civilization and philosophy is not the foundation of our western culture, thus forcing us to reconsider the roots, concepts and meaning of Western civilization itself.
The book was published in a period when America was becoming the only super power, after the long waited fall of the Soviet Union, letting conservative politicians and academics tout the uniqueness of the West and its European civilization of amalgamated Greco Roman roots.
W. J. Bennett, Regan's Secretary of Education, has argued that Americans should go back to the basics, students have to read and absorb the classic of Western civilization, rather than thinking critically about what history of science meant, or the impact of space travel and the Internet communications revolution, that rendered the world flat. Black Athena is a negative response to the new conditions which may have offset; its implications are unsettling.

One-Dimensionality and Whiteness:
This book may have linked with Marcuse's concept of the one-dimensional society and the Great Refusal, with critical race theory in order to achieve a more robust interrogation of 'whiteness'. The author of a recent paper on "Policy Futures in Education," argues that in the context of the United States, the one-dimensionality that Marcuse condemns in One-Dimensional Man is best illuminated by the concept of whiteness, in the context of white supremacy, is an ideological manifestation of dominant capitalism in the United States. The author furthers that the values Marcuse wants to break with or refuse in An Essay on Liberation can be more concretely captured if it is made clear that the ideology of whiteness represents a key part of the normative order of advanced industrial society that started to institute its legitimate roots in a mythic fable of European philosophy and heroism. The paper warns against Ms Lefkowitz, and her outdated classicists promoting whiteness in educational institutions serves to oppress race, gender, and class centered individuals and communities. Thus, the author proposes that, in the context of education, the crucial theoretical tools we have to challenge Ms Lefkowitz's glorification of the one-dimensional education and refuse whiteness in favor of a critical multicultural education.

Bernal's Greek Civilization:
Bernal's thesis for the origins of ancient Greek civilization accounts that it gradually evolved in ancient antiquity, through interactions between the local inhabitants and the Egyptians and Phoenicians colonies established in Greece at various time epochs, during the second millennium B. C. He alleges that ancient Greek culture developed out of these interactions, while Greeks continued to borrow from the Afro-Asians for the next two millennia.
Bernal's shocking theory, has radically contradicted the Indo-European framework of diffusion into Greek population by northern European Aryans who mixed with the local, pre-Hellenic inhabitants causing Greece and the Aegean world to develop a culture of the Anglo-Saxon prototype of Western civilization. The Aryan Model which was created during the first half of the nineteenth century became dominant to the present day, when challenged with Bernal, who suggested that the Aryan Model survived because it matched and adequately served the advancing ideals of capitalism in progress, racialism, and imperialism which eventually dominated the modern times. It may be excessively helpful in positive debates to be rational. Any scholar, motivated mainly by race issues ( Ms Lefkowitz, who has few qualifications other than outdated classics) could be identified as a red-neck, if she does not renounce her infallibility, being uninformed on other domains, which Bernal assesses their significance and implications, of an enormous entity of philological, archaeological, historical evidence, and critical tools of analysis and reconstruction, which Martin Bernal utilized repeatedly.

Egyptian Human Heritage:
Two books are basic to have common grounds, on the origin of Greek civilization
a. Gerald Massey's 'Book of the Beginnings,' is an essential reading for seekers of a balanced understanding of human origins, religious thought and belief, and the role of Ancient Egyptian civilization in world progress. Massey, born in England in 1828, was a radical Egyptologist, like Bernal's grandfather, has maintained that Africa was the source of "the greatest civilization in the world." According to Massey, all evidence cries aloud its proclamation that Africa was the birthplace of the non-articulate and Egypt the mouthpiece of the articulate man."
Greek Plato, wrote in Timaeus, "The wisdom of the Egyptians was a proverb with the Greeks, who felt themselves children beside this ancient race." Later, Herodotus, another informed Greek has demonstrated that Greece borrowed from Egypt all the elements of her civilization, and that Egypt was the cradle of civilization. The Late Nobel laureate, Naguib Mahfouz, who read the second book, namely, 'The Dawn of conscience,' by the great American Orientalist James H. Breasted was right in saying, "Egyptian civilization was beyond any doubt a great culture that encompassed the entire ancient world. The fact that we may have come to know it once more through the mediation of Western explorers and scientists does not make it any less ours. How could it be? It is the heritage of all humanity."

Betrnal's Mortal Sins:
Martin Bernal, by trespassing the boundaries of established disciplines and using inter discipline evidence that is not usually handled in the same language, Bernal has advanced academic tactics that are doomed heretical to those ultra orthodox who resent incursions into their outdated domains by uninitiated novices, who lack the curia's approval credentials. Monoply academics in their intrenched disciplines would menace most of Black Athena's novel arguments and reconstruction methodology. In the debates that followed, criticizing Martin's analyses and undermining his interpretations of the vast pieces of evidence, he has undoubtedly earned intellectual audience in and outside the academia.

Prophetic Review:
In his 1988 compelling review, Thomas C. Patterson, made a prophecy concluding, "But in the end he will win the war, if he has not in fact already done so. One reason for this is the tightness and logic of his arguments. Another is that, while scholars in the various relevant fields may view Bernal as an outsider or an interloper, they cannot easily dismiss him as a crank or a crackpot, since he has adopted the methods of the various disciplines and followed their established, generally agreed upon procedures and canons for evaluating evidence."

If you like parti pris rhetoric then you'll love this book!.......2006-10-13

Do you like to be lied to? Do you like propaganda and ill concieved agendas shoved down your throat? Do you like people who state theories as facts and then offer no evidence to substantiate their claims? Do you want to read a book which very existence would make Herodotus turn over in his grave and cause anyone who believes an accurate potrayl of history to be important to feel nothing but deep despair? If your answer was yes to one or more of these questions then you'll probably really enjoy this book. However if you're an intelligent and reasonable person who believes history to be something that is objective, rather then something subjective that can be changed to fulfill the ego of insecure people then this book probably isn't for you. However, if you are interested in the outlandish Afrocentric claims to Greek antiquity then I would recommend reading 'Not Out Of Africa' by Mary Lefkowitz.

A Statistic Friendly Lifesaver.......2007-05-07

First, there are a lot of books on Statistical Methods and on SPSS and they can help when used in conjunction with this book. This book covers the following:
It provides (1) an overview,
(2) a guide to the techniques,
(3) pre-data screening,
(4) factor analysis (I love that procedure because it helps SOOO much), (5)AnCOVA,
(6)MANOVA (true Manova - even though SPSS calls all syntax commands MANOVA),
(7)Multiple Regression,
(8)Path Analysis,
(9)Factor Analysis,
(10)DFA,
(11)and Logistical Regression.
Two of the best books out there to look at when using this book are Kachigan's Multivariate Statistical Analysis and Huck's Reading Statistics and Research because they fill in a lot more of the puzzle. The thing is that many books leave out specific things when you are trying to (1) learn how to use SPSS and how to play with different statistical methods and (2) many DO NOT tell you how to report what you find. In APA style the last one is something of a nail in the proverbial coffin, and if you are a student it could cost you time and make you wonder about the little lines of stylized red tape when you try to report you findings.
That's where Mertler is beautiful and why the book is a great thing.

In the pages of this book you will find (1) descriptions on specific methods that are more overviews than heavy introductions to methods, (2) key commands on how to feed data into SPSS and how to read what comes out, and (3) the way you should report everything you find when you read through your report. This does not mean there are not gaps in some of the reading; Discriminant Function Analysis (PG 301) made me wonder exactly how you were supposed to plug in new-comers to your formulas IF the Test of Equality of Group Means finds a low Significance BUT the Table of Steps does not exclude it. THAT was why I included the other books listed, because this book is more like a tool that helps you plug in something, pull out data, read it, and tell an audience what it all means. Huck and Kachigan make something of a wall to protect against any other problems BUT this book is a beautiful source when you need to plug in obscure testing methods.

If you think you need this book then you probably do, and the price is well worth what it costs just to divulge some of the riddles that SPSS offers. If you specifically need to fill in the basics (parametric measures) with your SPSS then you might want to also include Zagumny's "The SPSS book" just to give you a complete overview of SPSS as a humanity's tool and help you make it the thing that can be your best statistical friend.
This book is highly recommended and the other books listed here are as well.

Confusing.......2005-06-26

The book has a very good introduction to statistical methods. The chapter on pre-analysis data screening leaves much to be desired. The authors leave out important information necessary to run the tests. Our teacher had to keep giving handouts because the narrative of the text was confusing, misleading, and incomplete. Save yourself some grief and buy another book.

2nd edition same as 3rd edition.......2005-03-29

After spending over $75.00 on the "new" 3rd edition of the Advanced and Multivariate Statistical Methods I compared it page by page to my 2nd edition. Both have exactly the same number of pages. Both editions have exactly the same chapter outlines in the table of content. The authors state that the only difference in the two editions is the URL where you can find SPSS files (many from the SPSS site itself)!

Save money!!!! Buy the second edition and teach those rich publishing companies that you are NO DUMMY!

Great resource.......2004-06-02

This book is an excellent resource for individuals just starting with multivariate statistics and for those needing quick tips on test assumptions or help performing SPSS procedures and interpreting SPSS output.

Despite its "Advanced" title, this book covers the basics of multivariate statistics. It reviews the basic applications, data assumptions, limitations, basic rationale and sample research questions for several multivariate methods including linear and logistic regression, ANOVA/ANCOVA, MANOVA/MANCOVA, factor analysis, and more. It also provides information on how to interpret SPSS output and how write up results. The focus is application, not statistical theory or proofs.

Book Description

Event history analysisùa method for explaining why some people are more likely to experience a particular event, transition, or change than other peopleùhas been useful in the social sciences for studying the processes of social change. One of the main difficulties, however, in using this technique is that often information is (partially) missing on some of the relevant variables. Author Jeroen K. Vermunt presents a general approach to these missing data problems in event history analysis that is based on the similarities between log-linear, hazard, and event history models. The book begins with a discussion of log-linear, log-rate, and modified path models and methods for obtaining maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters of these models. Vermunt then shows how to incorporate variables with missing information in log-linear models for non-response. In addition, he covers such topics as the main types of hazard models; censoring; the use of time-varying covariates; models for competing risks; multivariate hazard models; and a general approach for dealing with missing data problems, including unobserved heterogeneity, measurement error in the dependent variable, measurement error in the covariate, partially missing information on the dependent variable, and partially observed covariate values.
