    Undocumented: How Immigration Became Illegal , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 465min
    Explores what it means to be undocumented in a legal, social, economic, and historical context In this illuminating work, immigrant rights activist Aviva Chomsky shows how "illegality" and "undocumentedness" are concepts that were created to exclude and exploit. With a focus on US policy, she probes how people, especially Mexican and Central Americans, have been assigned this status - and to what ends. Blending history with human drama, Chomsky explores what it means to be undocumented in a legal, social, economic, and historical context. The result is a powerful testament of the complex, contradictory, and ever-shifting nature of status in America. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Frankie Corzo.

    Teaching and Learning, and Their Evaluation, Made Visible
    This study set out to reveal how the classroom is a rhetorical situation in order to accomplish two primary goals: first, to examine six study types of student evaluations of teaching: (1) multisection, (2) multitrait-multimethod, (3) bias, (4) laboratory, (5) conceptual structure, and (6) theoretical; and, second, to discover what they actually tell educators about teaching and learning in order to increase quality in, accessibility to, accountability for, and transparency of teaching and learning in higher education. Numerous studies have considered student evaluations of teaching, which produced contradictory results making it a challenge for anyone to determine what these important studies show. The results of this investigation, however, uncovered many reasons for the inherent contradictions in the data through the application of rhetorical theories of kairos and the rhetorical situation.

    Iberia , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 2261min
    Spain is an immemorial land like no other, one that James A. Michener, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and celebrated citizen of the world, came to love as his own. Iberia is Michener's enduring nonfiction tribute to his cherished second home. In the fresh and vivid prose that is his trademark, he not only reveals the celebrated history of bullfighters and warrior kings, painters and processions, cathedrals and olive orchards; he also shares the intimate, often hidden country he came to know, where the congeniality of living souls is thrust against the dark weight of history. Wild, contradictory, passionately beautiful, this is Spain as experienced by a master writer. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Larry McKeever.
