Synopsis

Rise of Boarding explores the historical evolution of boarding schools and their lasting influence on education and society. Examining these elite institutions, the book reveals how they have shaped educational norms and societal expectations, particularly in fostering student development. From their origins, boarding schools have served not only as academic institutions but also as incubators for social elites, instilling values such as leadership and self-reliance.

One intriguing aspect is the evolving disciplinary practices, transitioning from strict control to promoting student independence, while consistently emphasizing academic success. The book delves into the transformation of boarding schools, viewing them as significant players in the history of education and social mobility. By integrating historical analysis with sociological and psychological perspectives, Rise of Boarding offers a comprehensive understanding of these institutions. The study uses archival records, student testimonials, and statistical data to support its arguments.

Key areas explored include the psychological impacts of disciplinary methods and the cultivation of student independence. Beginning with the foundational principles of early boarding schools, the book chronologically investigates their development. It then focuses on evolving disciplinary methods, student independence, and measures of academic success, culminating in an analysis of their effects today.

Primarily focusing on institutions in the United States and United Kingdom, this academic exploration provides valuable insights for educators, historians, and anyone interested in the complex relationship between education and social structures.

The Palestine Laboratory - How...

Antony Loewenstein

** Winner of the 2023 Walkley Book Award for Non-fiction Journalism ** 
** Shortlisted for the 2023 Moore Prize for Human Rights Writing ** 
Israel’s military industrial complex uses the occupied, Palestinian territories as a testing ground for weaponry and surveillance technology that they then export around the world to despots and democracies. For more than 50 years, occupation of the West Bank and Gaza has given the Israeli state invaluable experience in controlling an “enemy” population, the Palestinians. It’s here that they have perfected the architecture of control. 
 
Best-selling journalist Antony Loewenstein, author of Disaster Capitalism, uncovers this largely hidden world in a global investigation with secret documents, revealing interviews and on-the-ground reporting. This book shows in-depth, for the first time, how Palestine has become the perfect laboratory for the Israeli military-techno complex: surveillance, home demolitions, indefinite incarceration and brutality to the hi-tech tools that drive the 'Start-up Nation'. From the Pegasus software that hacked Jeff Bezos' and Jamal Khashoggi’s phones, the weapons sold to the Myanmar army that has murdered thousands of Rohingyas and drones used by the European Union to monitor refugees in the Mediterranean who are left to drown.  
Israel has become a global leader in spying technology and defence hardware that fuels the globe’s most brutal conflicts. As ethno-nationalism grows in the 21st century, Israel has built the ultimate model. 
“A sad and sordid record of how "the light unto the nations" became the purveyor of the means of violence and brutal repression from Guatemala to Myanmar and wherever else the opportunity arose.” - Noam Chomsky 
“A sharp exposé of how Israel's suppression of Palestine has translated into lucrative anti-terrorist systems that the Israeli government exports globally...[An] eye-opening delineation of the alarming ramifications of Israel's status as an 'ethnonationalist state.” - Kirkus Reviews

Judith Pintar, David Hopping

Inviting listeners to explore a modern field of study with deep historical foundations, the book begins by considering the complexities of the term "information" and the information life cycle from classification to preservation. Each chapter examines a different area within IS, surveying its history, technologies, and practices with a critical eye. This interdisciplinary field incorporates a wide range of approaches which it shares with humanities, social science, and technology fields. What makes IS unique is its emphasis on the connections between information, technology, and society. The need to share information more effectively in response to social, environmental, and biomedical challenges has never been so urgent; the volume discusses the risks as well as benefits that come with the emerging technologies that make it possible. The book also explores how IS, with its long-standing commitment to intellectual freedom and digital inclusion, and its keen attention to the protection of privacy, data ethics, and algorithmic transparency, can contribute to the creation of a more open and equitable society.
