How do we find calm in times of stress and uncertainty? How do we cope with sudden losses or find meaning in a world that can easily rob us of what we most value? Drawing on the wisdom of Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and others, Nancy Sherman's Stoic Wisdom presents a compelling, modern Stoicism that teaches grit, resilience, and the importance of close relationships in addressing life's biggest and smallest challenges. A renowned expert in ancient and modern ethics, Sherman relates how Stoic methods of examining beliefs and perceptions can help us correct distortions in what we believe, see, and feel. Her study reveals a profound insight about the Stoics: They never believed, as Stoic popularizers often hold, that rugged self-reliance or indifference to the world around us is at the heart of living well. We are at home in the world, they insisted, when we are connected to each other in cooperative efforts. We build resilience and goodness through our deepest relationships. Bringing ancient ideas to bear on 21st century concerns--from workers facing stress and burnout to first responders in a pandemic, from soldiers on the battlefield to citizens fighting for racial justice--Sherman shows how Stoicism can help us fulfil the promise of our shared humanity. In nine lessons that combine ancient pithy quotes and daily exercises with contemporary ethics and psychology, Stoic Wisdom is a field manual for the art of living well.

This book has two goals, each related to the validity oflanguage assessment. The first goal is to explore the differencebetween fairness and justice in language assessment. Theauthors distinguish internal and external dimensions of theequitable and just treatment of individuals taking languagetests which are used as gatekeeping devices to determineaccess to education and employment, immigrant status,citizenship, and other rights. The second goal is to show howthe extent of test fairness can be demonstrated and improvedusing the tools of psychometrics, in particular the modelscollectively known as Rasch measurement. "e;This book will have an enormous impact on the field oflanguage assessment. Using Rasch analysis models toexplore and identify sources of unfairness, the authorsmake a compelling case for fairness in the design andimplementation of language assessment instruments andfor justice in the interpretation and use of test results. A real strength of the book is that it guides readers throughanalytical techniques in an accessible way."e;Dan Douglas, Professor Emeritus, Applied Linguistics Program,Iowa State University.
