 Free Download Paul T. Gibbs, "Trusting in the University: The Contribution of Temporality and Trust to a Praxis of Higher Learning" English | 2004 | pages: 217 | ISBN: 904816642X, 140202343X | PDF | 0,8 mb The world in which we learn is changing rapidly. That rapidity is driven by a range of influences, conveniently, but inadequately, clustered under the rubric of globalisation. . The context in which globalisation and education is often linked is that of progression, progression realisable through technology, the free movement of finances and the optimum utilisation of human capital. To fuel this progression, formal educational institutions have grown, adapted and changed to provide highly skilled 'outputs' to satisfy demand. Along the way, I will argue, the questioning, learning, reflecting and worthiness of formal education has been sacrificed for instrumentality, compliance and self-interest. This is seen throughout the educational system but this book concentrates on higher education and, more importantly, higher educational institutions that are known as universities. I will try to argue for a distinctive place for universities that does not resist progression but defines it differently from that allowable by the market. I propose a university system where students and faculty are together allowed to 'let learn' who they might become, rather than realise their being as the artefact of economic imperatives. I accept from the very beginning that this might be incompatible with universities being in the world of commerce and industry, in fact, I demand that they are not! However, my text is not a polemic against the capitalist entrapment of education per se but for the development of centres that question whilst engaging with the realities of our existence.

Free Download Mark Salzman, "True Notebooks: A Writer's Year at Juvenile Hall" English | 2004 | pages: 352 | ISBN: 0375727612 | EPUB | 0,4 mb In 1997 Mark Salzman, bestselling author Iron and Silk and Lying Awake, paid a reluctant visit to a writing class at L.A.'s Central Juvenile Hall, a lockup for violent teenage offenders, many of them charged with murder. What he found so moved and astonished him that he began to teach there regularly. In voices of indelible emotional presence, the boys write about what led them to crime and about the lives that stretch ahead of them behind bars. We see them coming to terms with their crime-ridden pasts and searching for a reason to believe in their future selves. Insightful, comic, honest and tragic, True Notebooks is an object lesson in the redemptive power of writing.  Free Download Harry Ludlam, "True Ghost Stories" English | 2002 | ISBN: 0572025432 | EPUB | pages: 192 | 0.9 mb There is absolutely nothing to compare with the spine-chilling sensation of seeing a ghost. The shock and, all too often, the distress are better read about than experienced. Britain's No.1 collector of ghost stories presents a new anthology of persistent hauntings. Harry Ludlam, master story-teller, recounts his tales from all quarters of the ghost world. Read about Princess Diana trying to exorcise a ghost which was troubling her father, or about Lord Ree-s Mogg and the banshee haunting his family, or about the ghost of Elvis Presley that was chased by a clergyman from a council flat in Britain. Improbable, yes. But who knows?  Free Download Troubleshooting for Network Operators: The Road to a New Paradigm with Encrypted Traffic English | 2023 | ISBN: 1786308673 | 181 Pages | EPUB | 5 MB Therefore, in this context, this book presents a novel efficient multi modular troubleshooting architecture to overcome limitations related to encrypted traffic and high time complexity. This architecture contains five main modules: data collection, anomaly detection, temporary remediation, root cause analysis and definitive remediation. In data collection, there are two sub modules: parameter measurement and traffic classification. This architecture is implemented and validated in a software-defined networking (SDN) environment.  Free Download Trickster Makes This World: Mischief, Myth, and Art by Lewis Hyde English | August 17, 2010 | ISBN: 0374532559 | True EPUB | 432 pages | 0.9 MB In Trickster Makes This World, Lewis Hyde brings to life the playful and disruptive side of human imagination as it is embodied in trickster mythology. He first visits the old stories―Hermes in Greece, Eshu in West Africa, Krishna in India, Coyote in North America, among others―and then holds them up against the lives and work of more recent creators: Picasso, Duchamp, Ginsberg, John Cage, and Frederick Douglass. Twelve years after its first publication, Trickster Makes This World―authoritative in its scholarship, loose-limbed in its style―has taken its place among the great works of modern cultural criticism.  Free Download Janet Kauffman, "Trespassing: Dirt Stories and Field Notes " English | ISBN: 0814333745 | 2008 | 176 pages | EPUB | 1059 KB Trespassing is composed in equal amounts of short fiction and essays that illustrate the impact of modern factory farms―confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs)―on a rural Michigan community. Michigan author Janet Kauffman debunks the myth of the idyllic "clip art" farm of decades past by giving readers a close-up look at mega-meat and mega-milk, the extreme amounts of animal waste and barren countryside CAFOs produce, and the people who live in the midst of this new rural landscape threatened by agricultural sprawl. Trespassing considers the consequences of violating nature's limits, giving readers a vivid impression of the irreversible damage that violation causes to our habitat.  Free Download Trends in Statistical Codicology by Marilena Maniaci English | PDF,EPUB | 2021 | 780 Pages | ISBN : 3110711427 | 114.9 MB The application of statistical techniques to the study of manuscript books, based on the analysis of large data sets acquired through the archaeological observation of manuscripts, is one of the most original trends in codicological research, aiming not only to reconstruct on a sound basis the methods and processes used in book manufacture and their tendential evolution in space and time, but also to interpret them as the result of a dynamic interplay between various and often incompatible needs (of cultural, technical, social and economic nature) that book artisans had to reconcile in the best possible way.
