		Ozment's account of the Reformation as something unfolding out of the Middle Ages is much more instructive than the standard view, which treats the Reformation as a starting point for this or that development.
		Minor and radical reformers such as John Knox - whose influence would be felt in the later 16th and early 17th century in England - are also looked at; Knox is particularly interesting because his stance on civil matters is so different from that of Luther and Calvin.
		After all, the Reformers all had Scholastic backgrounds and just as they sought to think against their heritage, they also couldn't help but thinking from inside of it; Protestant theology is just as dense and nuanced as that of the Scholastics that came before them.

		In The Age of Reform, Hofstadter discusses political ideology in the United States from the 1890s through the 1940s, treating Populism and Progressivism not just as political parties but as reform movements as a whole.

	Author's response: Rethinking the Age of Reform
		We thought the topic of ‘reform’ ideal for a collection conceived with this end in view because ‘reform’ was invoked in many different contexts, for a range of purposes.
		But it seems to us that in political rhetoric directed to working-class audiences, ‘reform’ thus conceived was a means to a variety of ends not themselves conceived as ‘reforms’.
		This is why we are currently planning a successor conference, on the subject of ‘Power and accountability in the age of reform’, again focusing on Britain in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, although not excluding contributions with more than just British reference.

	The Truth About Math Standards and Math Reform
		After 15 years promoting "math reform," the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) is now stressing the importance of traditional K-8 math topics in arithmetic, geometry, and algebra.
		Their version of "math reform" omits the essence of traditional K-12 math, including standard computational skills, symbolic manipulation skills, and mathematical reasoning skills.
		Opponents call it "fuzzy" math or "new-new math." Regardless of the name, "reform math" is characterized by an endorsement of "constructivist" teaching methods and a rejection of the content and skills of traditional K-12 math.

	Richard Hofstadter
		Richard Hofstadter, historian at Columbia University, was a prolific writer and commentator on the Gilded Age and Progressive Eras, a founding member of the "Consensus School" of American history, and a scathing critic of the conservatism of his day.
		His conceptualization of conservatism here (as fundamentally irrational), as with his view of progressivism as middle-class "status anxiety"in The Age of Reform, still loom large in the American mind almost a half-century later.
		In keeping his eye on the big picture, he has acquired a contemporary relevance that goes far beyond many of his peers and has provided an intriguing example for bridging the divide between academic and popular history.

		From the conciliar to the confessional age the normal challenges that peacemakers perennially face were magnified.
		This volume investigates the activities of those who worked for the restoration of ecclesial unity, first in the conciliar era, then in the early years of the Protestant reformations, and finally during the "confessional age" when theological and cultural differences between competing religious groups began to emerge more clearly.
		Throughout, special attention is paid to the religiously diverse communities of central and eastern Europe, an area that has often been overlooked by scholars who have focused more exclusively on Protestant/Catholic relations in the western half of the continent.
