Sinopse

Academic Textbook Trends explores the evolving world of educational resources in higher education, moving beyond traditional models. It examines how instructors and students adapt to digital learning, the rise of open educational resources (OER), and the impact of cost on student access. This academic textbook uniquely analyzes the shift in adoption patterns, pricing sensitivities, and the integration of digital learning platforms like learning management systems (LMS). For example, the book looks at how the increasing costs of traditional textbooks are pushing students and faculty toward more affordable learning solutions, such as e-books and courseware. 

 
The book approaches the topic by blending quantitative data from publisher reports and student surveys with qualitative insights from faculty interviews. It delves into specific areas such as textbook adoption across disciplines and the impact of OER initiatives. The book progresses logically, beginning with an introduction that sets the stage, followed by chapters analyzing data, and concluding with implications for the future of textbook development.

 
This makes Academic Textbook Trends valuable for educators, administrators, and publishers seeking to enhance learning outcomes and ensure equitable access to educational materials in a rapidly changing landscape.

The Sport and Prey of Capitalists

Linda McQuaig

Why are we selling off the impressive public enterprises we often battled as a nation to create? 
 
In the early 1900s, thousands of Canadians battled wealthy interests, winning control of Niagara Falls and creating a public power company. Another popular movement succeeded in creating Canada’s public broadcasting system to counter American dominance of the airwaves. And a Canadian doctor established a publicly owned laboratory that saved countless lives by producing affordable medications, contributing to medical breakthroughs and helping to eradicate smallpox throughout the world. 
 
But in recent decades, we have allowed our inspiring public enterprises to be privatized and our vital public programs downsized, leaving us increasingly dominated by the forces of private greed that rule the marketplace. 
 
In The Sport and Prey of Capitalists, Linda McQuaig challenges the dogma of privatization, which has defined our political era. She argues that now more than ever, as we grapple with climate change and income inequality, we need to expand, not shrink, our public sphere.

The Story of a Man Who Collapsed...

Ivana Sajko

. . . I’ve forgotten how to travel, how to surrender to the favor and misfortune of the rails, how one says goodbye, how long one actually stands facing backward watching Point A swiftlydisappearing, and after that how long does he continue standing standing standing . . . I open my notebook, but I have no answer, I write: “traveling from Point A to Point B, from a littleseaside town to Berlin, I gaze out the window at the unfinished houses on the outskirts, warehouses in the industrial zone, stunted trees along the river with plastic bags hanging fromtheir branches like bats . . .”

Sajko teases out the mental state and personal history of the protagonist, posing departure as a major theme that serves as a touchstone not only for our region [of Southeastern Europe] but also for the times we are living in. —Antonela Marušić, Novosti

This is a stylistically superb novel, very readable. . . . And although this is a deeply personal text, it functions much more broadly, giving expression to the experiences, doubts, fears and all things encountered not only by this one, but a whole series of generations. —Matija Prica, booksa.hr

The Story of a Man Who Collapsed Into His Notebook is about departures, childhood, the end of a relationship and the vanishing possibility in today’s world of fleeing to a better place. Written in the first person, each chapter a single sentence, the novel is an internal soliloquy of self-examination, an excavation of a life punctuated by upheaval and loss, hope and disillusionment, ambition and failure. The reader joins the narrator on his journey, both on the train and in his mind—from disjointed memories triggered by his departure from home, through attempts to put his relationships and experiences in some kind of order to find meaning in them and perhaps assign blame, to confronting his most painful memories—finally arriving with him at his destination with a sense of clarity and the possibility of a new beginning.

The Biology of Kindness - Six...

Daniel Lumera, Immaculata De Vivo

The science is in: being good is actually good for you. In The Biology of Kindness—the first in a trilogy on the topic of daily wellness—the science of mindfulness and the findings of biology come together to show how kindness and optimism improve overall well-being in profound, organic, and demonstrable ways. Daniel Lumera, an expert in meditation and mindfulness, and Immaculata De Vivo, a preeminent researcher in molecular epidemiology, outline a revolutionary approach to health, longevity, and quality of life—and explain the scientific evidence that supports their work. 
 
 
 
Identifying five fundamental values and describing six essential strategies for cultivating these values, De Vivo and Lumera chart a practical course for pursuing a long, healthy, and happy life. Along the way they provide the scientific data that reveal the impact such behavior has on biology. The Biology of Kindness offers incontrovertible evidence that what is commonly ascribed to "spiritual" well-being has a clear and direct impact on physical health, helping to buffer premature aging and decrease the incidence of chronic disease. 
 
 
 
At a time when life seems to be ruled by a desire to get "everything and immediately," Lumera observes, there is a compelling case to be made for the discipline of devotion, dedication, and passion—for the good of the body and soul.
