A clarion call for academics and policymakers alike, Cry Freedom prompts reflection on the evolving relationship between government and higher education.
The Vedic Hymns are among the most interesting portions of Hindoo literature. In form and spirit they resemble both the poems of the Hebrew psalter and the lyrics of Pindar. They deal with the most elemental religious conceptions and are full of the imagery of nature. It would be absurd to deny to very many of them the possession of the truest poetic inspiration. The scenery of the Himalayas, ice and snow, storm and tempest, lend their majesty to the strains of the Vedic poet. He describes the storm sweeping over the white-crested mountains till the earth, like a hoary king, trembles with fear.Mostra libro
Are you struggling with your child's ADHD? Are you worried that they will be marginalised or laughed at, at school or with friends, because of their special needs? Do you feel lost when it comes to your child’s ADHD and its related issues and concerns? Yes, it’s true; all children lose focus and can be hyperactive, especially when they are anxious or excited. But when a child is constantly overwhelmed by emotions, memory lapses and inattention in differing contexts, this can undermine both self-esteem and social life. Parents have to do something. For parents, it is difficult to accept that their child has been diagnosed with ADHD. They see their child as naturally curious, full of life and intelligent. Parenting a child with ADHD brings both joys and challenges. I recommend that you read this book if you recognise these behaviours in your child. But let me tell you this: Being an unprepared parent will only make the situation worse. Unnecessary guilt, inevitable frustration and misunderstanding will only make your child feel stupid and a failure. This is absolutely NOT TRUE, and it doesn't have to be this way. But do not worry! Children with ADHD can lead perfectly normal lives as long as their parents know how to address their needs early and can thrive with them. Listen to this audiobook now will help you to understand how your baby's brain works. It will be greatly rewarding to see your child improve with friends, at home, at school and in every area of life.The best gift you can give him to guarantee him a prosperous and peaceful life!Mostra libro
Food is more than just nutrition. Its preparation, presentation and consumption is a multifold communicative practice which includes the meal's design and its whole field of experience. How is food represented in cookbooks, product packaging or in paintings? How is dining semantically charged? How is the sensuality of eating treated in different cultural contexts? In order to acknowledge the material and media-related aspects of eating as a cultural praxis, experts from media studies, art history, literary studies, philosophy, experimental psychology, anthropology, food studies, cultural studies and design studies share their specific approaches.Mostra libro

More than twenty years ago, 9/11 and the war in Afghanistan set into motion a hugely consequential shift in America's foreign policy: a perpetual state of war that is almost entirely invisible to the American public. War Made Invisible, by the journalist and political analyst Norman Solomon, exposes how this happened, and what its consequences are, from military and civilian casualties to drained resources at home. From Iraq through Afghanistan and Syria and on to little-known deployments in a range of countries around the globe, the United States has been at perpetual war for at least the past two decades. Yet many of these forays remain off the radar of average Americans. Compliant journalists add to the smokescreen by providing narrow coverage of military engagements and by repeating the military's talking points. Meanwhile, the increased use of high technology, air power, and remote drones has put distance between soldiers and the civilians who die. Back at home, Solomon argues, the cloak of invisibility masks massive Pentagon budgets that receive bipartisan approval even as policy makers struggle to fund the domestic agenda. Necessary, timely, and unflinching, War Made Invisible is an eloquent moral call for counting the true costs of war.Mostra libro
