Sinopse

The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner James Hogg - James Hogg's The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner is a Scottish classic, a quintessentially Gothic tale of psychological horror, and a relentless attack on Calvinist dogma.Robert Wringham's family is composed of a dissolute father and brother, a pious mother, and a rival father in the person of a fanatical Calvinist minister. He comes to believe that he is one of the elect, predestined to be saved, while others are damned. Sure of his freedom from the dictates of morality, he embarks on a series of crimes in the company of a new friend Gil-Martin, a man of many likenesses who can be mistaken for Robert, and who explains that they are as one in the holy work of purifying the world. But who is Gil-Martin? And what does he truly desire? The Gothic double or doppelganger is nowhere more powerfully imagined than in Confessions of a Justified Sinner, once called 'the greatest novel of Scotland'.

    Urban geography is a specialized subfield within human geography that focuses on the spatial aspects of cities and urban areas. It seeks to understand the patterns, processes, and interactions that shape the development of cities, as well as the complex dynamics between urban spaces and the broader environment. This discipline is essential for comprehending how cities evolve, function, and adapt to the challenges of urbanization in a rapidly changing world. 
    The role of cities in geography is multifaceted. Cities are not only the centers of economic, political, and cultural activity but also crucial nodes in the global network. They function as hubs for trade, finance, education, and innovation, while also representing unique environments that reflect the broader social, economic, and environmental conditions of their regions. Urban areas often act as catalysts for growth and change, influencing not just their immediate surroundings but the larger global landscape as well. 
    At the core of urban geography lies the exploration of key concepts that shape the organization and transformation of cities. These concepts include urbanization, which refers to the increasing concentration of populations in cities, and urban systems, which describe the networks and interconnections between various urban centers. Additionally, urban geography explores issues like land use, transportation, housing, and social dynamics, all of which play a significant role in the functioning of urban environments.

    Help students use their voices to build an equitable and just society. 
     
     
     
    Years of political violence and protests against injustice have revived interest in teaching civics in schools. The problem? Civic education—as it currently exists—privileges systems, not students. It promotes incremental change within a broken democracy rather than responding to the youth-led movements that call for the abolition of inequitable social structures. What will it take to prepare young people for the just future they are fighting for? 
     
     
     
    Civics for the World to Come offers educators a framework for designing the critical civic education that our students deserve. Synthesizing perspectives on democratic life from critical race theory, ethnic studies, Afrofuturism, and critical literacy, the book presents key practices for cultivating youth civic agency grounded in equity and justice. The authors explore five world-building civic skills (Inquiry, Storytelling, Imagination, Networking, and Advocacy) and introduce listeners to real learning communities where students and educators are transforming themselves and society.

    Ain't No Place for a Hero:...

    A deep dive into the groundbreaking and bestselling video game series The critically acclaimed first-person shooter franchise Borderlands knows it’s ridiculous. It’s a badge of pride. After all, Borderlands 2 was promoted with the tagline “87 bazillion guns just got bazillionder.” These space-western games encourage you to shoot a lot of enemies and monsters, loot their corpses, and have a few chuckles while chasing down those bazillion guns.  
     
    As Kaitlin Tremblay explores in Ain’t No Place for a Hero, the Borderlands video game series satirizes its own genre, exposing and addressing the ways first-person shooter video games have tended to exclude women, queer people, and people of colour, as well as contribute to a hostile playing environment. Tremblay also digs in to the way the Borderlands game franchise ― which has sold more than 26 million copies ― disrupts traditional notions of heroism, creating nuanced and compelling storytelling that highlights the strengths and possibilities of this relatively new narrative medium.  
     
    The latest entry in the acclaimed Pop Classics series, Ain’t No Place for a Hero is a fascinating read for Borderlands devotees as well as the uninitiated.
