New Releases by David Hein

Education should form both the mind and character. But even very good schools, religious and secular, can do better at teaching the virtues, says author and longtime teacher David Hein. Hein has written an invaluable primer for teachers and parents alike. He shows how to teach students virtues such as prudence, justice, courage, temperance, faith, hope, love, loyalty, and patience.

Millions of basketball players outside the United States dream of one day playing in the NBA. Thousands of those youngsters make their way onto the radars of NBA scouts patrolling the globe on the lookout for the next Drazen Petrovic, Arvydas Sabonis, Pau Gasol, Tony Parker, Dirk Nowitzki or Giannis Antetokounmpo. Those talent observers criss-cross Europe and the rest of the world and watch prospects playing at both club and national team competitions - and that both at the youth and senior levels. "Draft Dreams In The Making" is a compilation of articles written by David Hein about many of the international players who have shined at one or more of those competitions and have either declared themselves for the 2020 NBA Draft or are automatically eligible - those 1998-born players. The articles in this book were published on the websites for the events where the players were competing - be it FIBA, Euroleague Basketball and Basketball Champions League events. Not all international players who are in the 2020 draft pool are included in this book - solely those about whom an article was written. Hopefuly you enjoy this book as much as the author did writing the articles in it.

Come From Away: Welcome to the Rock - a fully illustrated companion volume to the hit Tony Award-winning Broadway musical, featuring the book and lyrics for the first time in print, backstage stories and the real history behind the show''s events, character design sketches, and songs that ended up on the cutting room floor. The Tony Award-winning Broadway musical Come From Away tells the remarkable true story of a small town that welcomed the world. On September 11, 2001, 38 planes and 6,579 passengers were forced to land in the provincial town of Gander, Newfoundland. The local residents opened their arms to the displaced visitors, offering food, shelter, and friendship. In the days that followed, cultures clashed and nerves ran high, but uneasiness turned into trust, music soared into the night, and gratitude grew into enduring friendships. Come From Away: Welcome to the Rock is the ultimate companion piece to Irene Sankoff and David Hein''s smash-hit musical based on that extraordinary experience. Featuring the complete book and lyrics for the first time in print, a foreword by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and exclusive photos of the company and physical production, this essential companion also includes original interviews with passengers, Gander residents, and the actors who portray them. The narrative by theater historian Laurence Maslon details the events of that memorable and challenging week and also traces the musical''s development from the ten-year reunion of residents and airline passengers in Gander, where the idea for the musical was born , to the global phenomenon it is today. Come From Away: Welcome to the Rock gives an unprecedented look behind the curtain and demonstrates why the story has touched so many so deeply: Because we come from everywhere, we all come from away.

Archbishop Fisher’s archiepiscopate reflected the central issues of his time and place. It was Fisher who oversaw an immense programme of reforms which effectively recast the institutions of the Church of England for generations to come. It was Fisher who proved to be the essential architect, politician and diplomat behind the creation of a worldwide Anglican Communion. His determination to promote the development of relations with other churches produced a vital contribution to the cause of ecumenism, which culminated in his momentous meeting with Pope John XXIII. Archbishop Fisher was a vigorous participant in the questions which defined national and international life. This book explores Fisher’s influence on major contemporary issues and events, including divorce-law reform and capital punishment at home and the end of Empire and the most dangerous years of the Cold War abroad. This new biography establishes the continuing significance not only of the office of Archbishop in the Church but also of the Church at large in the tumultuous world of the later twentieth century. A final section of original source material includes letters, sermons and other writings bringing vividly to life the range and character of Fisher''s public and private role.

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Film und Fernsehen, Note: 1,5, Hochschule Mittweida (FH) (Fachbereich Medien), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst sich mit Erfolgspotentialen paneuropäischer Medienprodukte am Beispiel des Fernsehens und soll vor dem Hintergrund politischer, rechtlicher, wirtschaftlicher und gesellschaftlicher Rahmenbedingungen Aussagen über deren Entwicklungspotenzial treffen können. Somit soll gezeigt werden, unter welchen Bedingungen paneuropäisches Fernsehen erfolgreich sein kann und auf Basis der Ergebnisse ein Ausblick hinsichtlich der Rolle derartiger Medien in der Zukunft gewagt werden. Dazu wird zunächst ein Überblick über politische Strukturen in Europa gegeben. Im Anschluss werden weitere strukturelle Faktoren, wie historische Entwicklungen und der medienspezifische Rechtsrahmen für grenzüberschreitendes Fernsehen in Europa erläutert. Auch die Einflussmöglichkeiten von Förderinitiativen und Verbänden werden berücksichtigt. Auf die infrastrukturelle Basis folgt die Betrachtung der Thematik aus gesellschaftlicher Perspektive. Im Verlauf der Arbeit kommen Problemstellungen ans Licht, auf die paneuropäisch ausgerichtete Rundfunkanbieter reagieren müssen. Um Erkenntnisse über die Potenziale transnationaler Fernsehprojekte und Unterschiede in der Handhabung von Problemstellungen im europäischen Medienmarkt gewinnen zu können, folgt dann die Analyse der Sender Eurosport und ARTE anhand ihrer erfolgswirksamen Kriterien. Note: 1,5

As the world grows increasingly complex, as society becomes more and more fractured, as from day to day and even moment to moment basic attitudes and convictions shake and personal loyalties shift, human beings need more, not less, good counsel for Christian living. This book reaches into the treasury of Anglican spirituality and draws out pearls of wisdom for todays needs. Here the reader will discover spiritual guidesboth clergy and laitywho speak directly to their own hearts, minds, and souls. The Anglican tradition has shown an abiding concern for a holy living that leads to a holy dying; and this book offers earnest, practical devotion to inspire and to instruct the Christian pilgrim in the path of discipleship. Here readers will find not simply a general collection of spiritual writings but rather direct words of spiritual counsel. Moreover, readers will encounter passages selected for both their authoritative content and their surpassing beauty. This book takes seriously the Anglican emphasis on a form of religion that quickens the mind, forms the conscience, guides the will, and lifts the spirit.

Awarded the Certificate of Commendation of the American Association for State and Local History In this collection of letters written by members of a prominent Maryland family on the eve of and during the Civil War, David Hein has found gold in the mine of his state''s historical society. This book immerses the reader in civilian life as civil war approached, fiercely as a wind-driven wildfire-civilian life personified by the family of Allen Bowie Davis, a prosperous farmer-legislator from Montgomery County, north of Washington, D.C. These letters capture the complexity of the Civil War in a state of abolitionists, pro-slavery unionists, anti-slavery southern sympathizers, and non-slaveholding secessionists. We see a pivotal Maryland through the eyes of adults and children, and we witness the consequences of war for familial relationships, religious values, and educational institutions. David Hein''s crisp editorial commentary knits these letters together, enabling the Davis family to tell of life in the tumultuous middle of the nineteenth century. We are in the debt of this book and its editor for reminding us that a history with leaders and battles is incomplete without the testimony of sons and daughters, of mothers and fathers. From the Foreword by Charles W. Mitchell, editor of Maryland Voices of the Civil War

A major figure in twentieth-century Christianity, Geoffrey Fisher worked to modernize the Church of England and to develop the worldwide Anglican Communion. His historic meeting with Pope John XXIII, his participation in national debates on the Suez Crisis and nuclear weapons, and his role in crowning Queen Elizabeth II made him a well-known figure in postwar Britain. His neglect by professional historians is partly remedied by this new biography, the first scholarly account of Fisher''s life and career.

Hein skillfully provides regional, religious, and historical contexts for Powell''s life and furnishes penetrating insights into the man and the entire Episcopal establishment of this era. [The author] resourcefully combines secondary scholarship, personal conversations and communications, and conventional primary documents to capture Powell''s personality, career, and relationships.... Anyone with a serious interest in American religious history will find this compelling biography to be both informative and thought provoking. -- Samuel C. Shepherd Jr., Journal of Southern History Hein''s wide knowledge of the sociocultural forces at work in the mid-twentieth century, and especially the forces that generated the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s, have enabled him to illuminate an entire period of Episcopal Church history through the life and work of one man. . . . Hein''s gracious style, judicious insights, and especially his striking ability to penetrate the subtleties of southern religion in brief and trenchant observations make this book a pleasure to read. -- Susan J. White, Anglican and Episcopal History [A] painstaking, thoughtful biography. . . . To this story Hein ... brings balance, sensitivity, and exhaustive research. As ''the last bishop of the old church,'' Noble Powell will be remembered longer than many of his predecessors. -- James Bready, Baltimore Sun [This] biography . . . is meticulously researched, full of primary source material and rich documentation. [It] is fun to read for anyone with an interest in American Protestant history. -- David E. Sumner, Journal of American History

This book offers a fresh account of the Episcopal Church''s rise to prominence in America.
