Excerpt from Prospectus of Howard Seminary, West Bridgewater, Mass., 1891-92O parents looking for a school where their daughters may have good care 6 and instruction, together with the privileges of a pleasant home, in a healthful location, Howard Seminary offers advantages worthy of attention. The buildings, the corps of efficient and progressive teachers, the spirit of work and earnestness manifested by the pupils and especially the pleasant family life, pervaded by a spirit of mutual helpfulness, are such as to commend the school to parents.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Our species is misnamed. Though sapiens defines human beings as "wise" what humans do especially well is to prospect the future. We are homo prospectus. In this book, Martin E. P. Seligman, Peter Railton, Roy F. Baumeister, and Chandra Sripada argue it is anticipating and evaluating future possibilities for the guidance of thought and action that is the cornerstone of human success. Much of the history of psychology has been dominated by a framework in which people's behavior is driven by past history (memory) and present circumstances (perception and motivation). Homo Prospectus reassesses this idea, pushing focus to the future front and center and opening discussion of a new field of Psychology and Neuroscience.The authors delve into four modes in which prospection operates: the implicit mind, deliberate thought, mind-wandering, and collective (social) imagination. They then explore prospection's role in some of life's most enduring questions: Why do people think about the future? Do we have free will? What is the nature of intuition, and how might it function in ethics? How does emotion function in human psychology? Is there a common causal process in different psychopathologies? Does our creativity change with age?In this remarkable convergence of research in philosophy, statistics, decision theory, psychology, and neuroscience, Homo Prospectus shows how human prospection fundamentally reshapes our understanding of key cognitive processes, thereby improving individual and social functioning. It aims to galvanize interest in this new science from scholars in psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy, as well as an educated public curious about what makes humanity what it is.

Hoops fans want to know more than just who won the game. They want to know the hows and whys and the reasons and statistics to back up their knowledge. Sure, like all fans they're opinionated-but they want to have reasoned opinions and engaging insights. Thanks to PRO BASKETBALL PROSPECTUS, they can have all that and more. Where other basketball annuals simply reflect statistics back to the reader like a mirror, John Hollinger in PRO BASKETBALL PROSPECTUS instead treats statistics with an x-ray machine. He shows how you can break down statistics to try to determine the root cause of a problem as well as how you can combine certain statistics for an overall view of a player or team. He doesn't just tell you who is good or bad; he gives you a new way to appreciate every player's skills and weaknesses. In last year's edition, Hollinger discussed the many facets of quality defense and examined who was the best rebounder of all time. This year, Hollinger gives you an in-depth look at rookies and how they develop-or sometimes don't. Every basketball fan will gain incredible new insights into the game with PRO BASKETBALL PROSPECTUS.

Provides profiles of major league players with information on statistics for the past five seasons and projections for the 2000 baseball season.

The roundball revolution continues, and John Hollinger is El Jefe. With the Pro Basketball Forecast, Hollinger takes an in-depth and insightful look at the game. Downplayed are all the per-game statistics; in their place are points, rebounds, and assists per forty minutes. Hollinger also examines how many possessions each player uses and what percentage of his team's rebounds he collects. Why? Because teams use players in different ways, and comparing everyone on an even scale makes much more sense.When is a player averaging ten points a game more valuable than one averaging fifteen? How about if he plays twenty minutes to the latter's forty and plays for a team that walks the ball up the court instead of fast-breaking? If he's given a starting position or traded to a new team, he could "unexpectedly" break out-unexpected to everyone but Forecast readers, that is. Hollinger shows you which players, given more time or a fresh start, can ratchet their game up to all-star levels. He also shows which ones are scoring more than their backups solely because of proportion of time and should find themselves on the bench more this year.On top of all this, Hollinger also continues to improve his groundbreaking method of valuing a player's personal defense and sharpens his projections for regulars, offering predictions for the forthcoming season. Hollinger adds his thoughts on every team-where they've been and where they're going-as well as a discussion of every player and draft pick. You may watch hoops, but you haven't seen everything until you've seen the Forecast.

This introduction or prospectus is supplementary to that in the first volume on the Psalms, in that it likewise emphasizes, though from different view-points, the history and fruits, as well as the present need and future mission of the Protestant Classics of the greatest of all reformers in their relation to the development of the human race. Let us in this introduction briefly notice the following: The progress of the movement to translate and circulate Luther's works in English, and then emphasize the need of developing an interest to read them; first, because of the relation of Luther and his writings to the public library; and secondly, because as the chief of the Teuton Protestant Church Fathers, we need to understand Luther in his relation to the Greek and Latin Church Fathers, and our true historic relations to them all.
