(This book traces the history of adult education in Americ...)
This book traces the history of adult education in America from its roots in the popular tradition of self-improvement, to present day education outside a college or university setting. The author persuasively links developments in the realm of popular self-improvement to cultural and social forces, and explores the reasons why ordinary citizens turned to the cultivation of knowledge. He aims to unravel the knotted connections between education and society, by focusing on the voluntary pursuit of knowledge on the part of those who were both older and more likely to be gainfully employed than the school-age popoulation. By emphasising the importance of audiences, he sheds new light on the reasons for the shift from ideal of culture (as defined by Matthew Arnold) to such typical twentieth-century motifs as vocational education and public service.

Hirsch's book does more than lament and exhort: it tells exactly what the basics are and why it is necessary to get back to them. Cultural Literacy...is not as hifalutin a condition as it sounds. All it means is that you're not totally ignorant of the knowledge Americans used to acquire in high school. Cultural Literacy posed the questions; The Dictionary of Cultural Literacy provides the answers!

"The Dictionary of Cultural Literacy, 2nd edition" is a compendium of the words, phrases, names, places, events and other items, familiar to most Americans, which combines our common knowledge as a 'collective memory' and informs our late 20th Century discourse; allows us to comprehend daily newspapers, magazines, news reports, to understand our peers, leaders and even jokes; and colors the sound of our national culture. This is not 'expert' knowledge but rather the shared 'common' knowledge which allows people to communicate, forms the basis of communities, and distinguishes our national culture as unique.

In this fast-paced information age, how can Americans know what's really important and what's just a passing fashion? Now more than ever, we need a source that concisely sums up the knowledge that matters to Americans -- the people, places, ideas, and events that shape our cultural conversation. With more than six thousand entries,The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy is that invaluable source. Wireless technology. Gene therapy. NAFTA. In addition to the thousands of terms described in the original Dictionary of Cultural Literacy, here are more than five hundred new entries to bring Americans' bank of essential knowledge up to date. The original entries have been fully revised to reflect recent changes in world history and politics, American literature, and, especially, science and technology. Cultural icons that have stood the test of time (Odysseus, Leaves of Grass, Cleopatra, the Taj Mahal, D-Day) appear alongside entries on such varied concerns as cryptography, the digital divide, the European Union, Kwanzaa, pheromones, SPAM, Type A and Type B personalities, Web browsers, and much, much more. As our world becomes more global and interconnected, it grows smaller through the terms and touchstones that unite us. As E. D. Hirsch writes in the preface, "Community is built up of shared knowledge and values -- the same shared knowledge that is taken for granted when we read a book or newspaper, and that is also taken for granted as part of the fabric that connects us to one another." A delicious concoction of information for anyone who wants to be in the know, The New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy brilliantly confirms once again that it is "an excellent piece of work . . . stimulating and enlightening" (New York Times) -- the most definitive and comprehensive family sourcebook of its kind.

Terms are taken from such topics as Fine Arts, Business and Economics, Literature in English, World History, American Politics, Technology, and more. This calendar will challenge readers to find out more about what they know and help make sense of what they read, hear, and learn.
