    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.

    Shortalk Russian Classics: The Darling & Twenty Six and One , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 75min
    Russia - a vast and complex place that hides its secrets well. Two masters of the short story shed light upon its people and their emotional hinterland. Great stories, simply told with fresh voices. Shortalk - moving words of the page The Darling by Anton Anton Chekov "Between 1888 and his death Checkov single handedly revolutionised both the drama and the short story." (James Rusk 201 stories by Anton Chekov) Olga Semyonovna is adored by all, and defines her life by the opinions she shares, but are they her own and what happens to her when they are no longer forthcoming? Published in 1899, five years before his untimely death at the age of 44, 'The Darling' has been upheld as one of Chekov's most exquisite stories, gently unpicking the complex threads of the lives of provincial Russians, and leaving us to judge their actions. Twenty Six and One by Maxime Gorky Will Tanya be able to resist the challange on her virtue set by 26 miserable and desperate admirers? It is often said that this is Gorky's finest short story - set in a hellish bakery basement where joy is a rare commodity indeed, an image of perfection and humanity lights up the bakes lives for seconds each day and sets them in a dither. ungekürzt.

    The Story of Music , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 756min
    Accompanies BBC2's major new TV series and The Story of Music in 50 Pieces on Radio 3Music is an intrinsic part of everyday life, and yet the history of its development from single notes to multi-layered orchestration can seem bewilderingly specialised and complex. In his dynamic tour through 40,000 years of music, from prehistoric instruments to modern-day pop, Howard Goodall does away with stuffy biographies, unhelpful labels and tired terminology. Instead he leads us through the story of music as it happened, idea by idea, so that each musical innovation – harmony, notation, sung theatre, the orchestra, dance music, recording, broadcasting – strikes us with its original force. He focuses on what changed when and why, picking out the discoveries that revolutionised man-made sound and bringing to life musical visionaries from the little-known Pérotin to the colossus of Wagner. Along the way, he also gives refreshingly clear descriptions of what music is and how it works: what scales are all about, why some chords sound discordant and what all post-war pop songs have in common. The story of music is the story of our urge to invent, connect, rebel – and entertain. Howard Goodall’s beautifully clear and compelling account is both a hymn to human endeavour and a groundbreaking map of our musical journey. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Howard Goodall.

    Who Says Elephants Can't Dance: How I Turned Around IBM , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 385min
    CEO Louis V. Gerstner, Jr.'s memoir about the extraordinary turnaround of IBM and his transformation of the company into the industry leader of the computer age -  the great American business story of our time. When Louis V. Gerstner became CEO of IBM in 1993, shares had slumped and the company was on the verge of collapse. Hired for his successful management of RJR Nabisco and American Express, Gerstner had no background in technology, but during his seven-year chairmanship, he transformed the company into the leading force of the computer age. In his frank, direct voice, Gerstner recalls the obstacles he faced: the plans to fragment the company, the inconsistent global policies, the stodgy white-shirt hierarchy and inter-departmental competitiveness, and the rapidly declining sales. Within months of joining IBM, Gerstner presented his bold and controversial business strategy. Punitive towards office politics, he revolutionised the company from within, altering an entire corporate culture, divesting billions of dollars in unneeded assets and transforming IBM from a fractured, process-driven business into a nimble, customer-driven enterprise able to respond quickly to the volatile technology market and face down Microsoft and Intel in the Internet era. Revealing his tactics step by step, Gerstner spins an engaging narrative that takes the listener behind the curtain into the unbelievable mess he inherited and into the office and mind of a CEO facing the challenge of a lifetime. ungekürzt.
