  Academic Activism in Higher Education

  This book argues for renewed understandings of academic activism, understandings that conceive of the ideas, arguments and scholarship of the academe as embedded within the practices of what the academy does. It examines why and how a renewed notion of academic activism informs a philosophy of higher education specifically in relation to teaching and learning. The book focuses on the theories and practices of teaching and learning, in particular how such pedagogical actions are guided by social, political and cultural influences outside of the university as a higher education institution. The authors advocate for a living philosophy of higher education that is commensurate with real actions and imaginary fictions of what constitutes higher education and what remains in becoming for the discourse. With a focus on South African social justice education, the book imagines pathways for academic activism to manifest in revolutionised pedagogical actions or actions that bring into contestation what already exists with the possibility for the cultivation of renewal.

  British Colonies Forge an American Empire: A Basis for Trans-Atlantic Comparisons , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 313min

  That the early United States was (or were) referred to as the New Empire would seem nonsensical or flatly erroneous today on both sides of the Atlantic.In fact, Europeans and Americans alike viewed the United Colonies as a potential empire existing uneasily within an empire, the British Empire. This perspective impacted the crafting of the Continental Congress and the US government, whereas the governments of the member states were viewed as commensurate with the contemporary kingdoms in Europe. Yet today, the United States as a whole is typically assumed to be equivalent to a large EU state, hence leaving out vital empire-level attributes and dynamics that the American founders assumed would continue to be taken into account in American constitutional law and governance. The basic premise of this book says to Americans: Remember, if you forget who you are, you are bound for trouble. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brandon Woodall.

  I Am...: The unsettling truth , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 460min

  Sandy and Xavier are young, accomplished, and happily married, living their American dream. Xavier, a police sergeant, sees himself as Sandy's protector, while Sandy's professional ambitions and work as a surgeon inspire her husband. Together they've forged the perfect life together. Or so they thought, until a tragedy in the couple's affluent suburb causes a ripple effect that will forever change their world. The aftermath of the incident spreads to DC's halls of justice, threatening democracy as we know it - and the relationship Sandy and Xavier once thought they had. Deception and repressed rage spawn a murdering spree that forces battle lines to be drawn, and everyone must choose a side. The burden of swift and commensurate justice falls upon a DC jury charged with delivering the country from the threat of total anarchy.Blood will be spilled. Bodies will drop. Yet, regardless of the jury's verdict, America will never be the same again.  ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: William Wells.

  Jack and Edward: The Story of Canada's Forgotten Spitfire Ace , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 97min

  Names like Douglas Bader and Robert Stanford Tuck are well known. They are household names because they belonged to that small band of Second World War fighter pilots who applied themselves to their deadly business with quite exceptional vigor, achieving commensurate success and enshrinement in public memory.Equally vigorous, and undoubtedly deserving of similar recognition and acclaim, was a Canadian named Edward Francis John, or "Jack", Charles - yet almost no one has heard of him. Given his war record, it seems odd that his name is known to but a few with a specialist interest in day fighter operations over Europe during the Second World War, but the key perhaps lays in the years that followed, when an impossible-to-forsee change in personal circumstances ensured his name was largely forgotten.This book is, therefore, an attempt to remedy a wrong, and covers the whole story. But it is much more than just a detailed account of an outstanding war record, it is also the tale of a man forever changed by war. The story of how Jack became Edward. ungekürzt. Language: English.

  How to be a Better Person , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 503min

  Who volunteers? Why? What are you willing to do? This title presents the hilarious, heartwarming adventures of a volunteering cynic. Do the feel-good rewards commensurate with the time and effort involved? When Seb Hunter accidentally picks up the phone to a charity Fundraiser one day, he faces a moment of reckoning. It isn't so much that he lacks a social conscience; but he can no longer assuage it by buying the odd copy of the Big Issue and eating Fairtrade chocolate. So he decides to sign up, transform good intention into commitment, and get involved in as different types of volunteering as possible. From falling out with fellow do-gooders at Oxfam to becoming embroiled in labyrinthine bureaucracy on behalf of a Congolese asylum seeker; from hospital radio to litter picking; and, from working at a homeless drop-in centre to averting climate change (although not all simultaneously), he sheds blood, sweat, and tears in the name of Good Causes. But can working for no financial reward actually make you a 'better person'? ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kris Dyer.

  Real Men Drink Aftershave: A Colourful History of the Rugby World Cup , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 691min

  Since its inception in 1987, the rugby union World Cup has gone from being a cheerful, amateurish kick-about to one of the world's premier sporting events, third only to the football World Cup and the Olympics in terms of global reach. Along the way it has mirrored the sport's occasionally painful march into the professional era, with commensurate advances in the standard of play but also, some would argue, a loss of innocence as the marketing men have moved in on an increasingly lucrative property. But the competition is still - mostly - about the game itself. And Real Men Drink Aftershave is the real tale of the rugby World Cups - the players' stories - the funny, the irreverent, the real, and the fascinating tale of the history of the competition from the perspective of those who took part. From the players who got drunk all the way through the 1987 World Cup to the high-level training programmes and sophisticated tactics of 2003 - here is the full story. Written by one of the game's foremost insiders and observers, Real Men Drink Aftershave is destined to become the definitive history. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Adrian James.

  Einstein's Intuition: Visualizing Nature in Eleven Dimensions , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1231min

  Presented in clear and accessible language, Roberts offers the listener a voyage through the stages of human knowledge. He then examines the outstanding mysteries of modern physics, the phenomena that lie outside the borders of our current understanding (dark energy, dark matter, the Big Bang, wave-particle duality, quantum tunneling, state vector reduction, etc.) and suggests that the next step in our intellectual journey is to treat the vacuum of space as a superfluid - modeling it as being composed of interactive quanta, which, in a self-similar way, are composed of subquanta, and so on. With this proposition, Roberts imbues the vacuum with fractal geometry and opens the door to explaining the outstanding mysteries of physics geometrically. Roberts' model, called quantum space theory, has been praised for how it offers an intuitively accessible picture of 11 dimensions and for powerfully extending the insight of general relativity, eloquently translating the four forces into unique kinds of geometric distortions while offering us access to the underlying deterministic dynamics that give rise to quantum mechanics. That remarkably simple picture explains the mysteries of modern physics in a way that's fully commensurate with Einstein's Intuition. It's a refreshingly unique perspective that generates several testable predictions. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Jonathan Farkasofsky.

Results can be commensurate with efforts, and natural muscle gains can come steadily and without plateaus. This should be of interest to anyone who not only doesn't like falling short of achieving what they've set out to accomplish, but wasting precious time in the process. Over here in this audiobook, we'll cut your learning curve short with an easy-to-digest blueprint you can apply right away.  Audiobook content includes:  "Muscle Gaining Truths That Nobody Is Telling You""Simple Steps to Gaining Muscle Fast""How to Get Big Muscles""Fundamental Muscle Gain Tips for Maximum Results""The Deadliest Muscle Building Mistake Explained""Best Supplements for Muscle Gain - 4 Heavy Hitters That Deliver""Tips for a Muscle Gain Diet""Nutrition Recipes for Lean Muscle Gain and Fat Loss" ungekürzt.
