Teaching Historical Narratives : A Philosophical Inquiry into the Virtues of Historical Interpretation
With this book Jon Levisohn argues that current history education is set up in a way that sees students of history at one end of a continuum with the academic experts in the field of history at the other, and where the goal of history education is to help students to think like historians.Building on a critical engagement with Carl Hempel, Hayden White, and David Carr, as well as contemporary work in virtue epistemology, Levisohn proposes a new theory of historiography which serves as a set of guidelines for the teaching and learning of history.According to the theory, the work of historiography is best characterized as a negotiation among narratives, weaving together received narratives with new information and ideas in order to construct a new narrative.This negotiation happens with a particular orientation towards negative evidence or ‘flexible disconfirmationism’, and is assessed according to the openness, sensitivity, responsibility, creativity, boldness and humility, i.e. the virtues of historical interpretation. The book rethinks the work of history education, offering new ways of thinking about the goals of the teaching of history, namely, in terms of the cultivation of the interpretive virtues.

How can one pay with a collectible coin?
One can pay with a collectible coin by finding a willing buyer who is interested in the specific coin and is willing to exchange goods or services for it. The value of the coin will need to be agreed upon by both parties, and the transaction can be completed by physically exchanging the coin for the agreed-upon value. Alternatively, the coin can be sold to a dealer or collector for its market value, and the proceeds can then be used to make a purchase. It's important to note that some collectible coins may have a higher value as a collector's item than their face value, so it's important to research and understand the value of the coin before attempting to use it as payment.

It has given her a curiosity about the people who are attracted to danger.Why when so many are fearful of anything beyond their daily routine, are others drawn towards situations, or professions which put them in regular peril of their lives?It has proved a fascinating quest that has taken her to the four corners of the globe in pursuit of an answer.She has met those who choose a career in danger, like stuntpeople, landmine exploders, and even a 'snake man' who - aged 96 - has been bitten countless times by poisonous snakes to find venom for vaccines. She has questioned those whose actions put them in danger, like Sir Richard Leakey whose determination to speak out in Kenya nearly cost him his life, as well as criminals and prostitutes who risk all for money. And of course there are those who - through no choice of their own - have been put in danger, such as Saddam Hussein's food taster - not his career of choice. With Kate's insight, wit, and gift for illumination, this is a compelling read.
