 Robin Whalley, "Essentail Adobe Photoshop CC: The Easy Way to Learn Adobe Photoshop" English | ISBN: 169299543X | 2019 | 153 pages | EPUB | 11 MB Adobe Photoshop CC Made Easy  Equity and Access to High Skills through Higher Vocational Education English | 2022 | ISBN: 303084501X | 326 Pages | PDF | 4 MB This book explores new and distinctive forms of higher vocational education across the globe, and asks how the sector is changing in response to the demands of the 21st century. These new forms of education respond to two key policy concerns: an emphasis on high skills as a means to achieve economic competitiveness, and the promise of open access for adults hitherto excluded from higher education. Examining a range of geographic contexts, the editors and contributors aim to address these contexts and highlight various similarities and differences in developments. They locate their analyses within the various political and socio-economic contexts, which can make particular reforms possible and achievable in one context and almost unthinkable in another. Ultimately, the book promotes a critical understanding of evolving provisions of higher vocational education, refusing assumptions that policy borrowing from apparently 'successful' countries offers a straightforward model for others to adopt.

Beginning with an analysis of debates around the persuasive power of games, the book argues that real impact can only be achieved by focusing on the material conditions of game production - by reducing greenhouse gas emissions from making, selling, and playing games, as well as the hardware used to play them.
