Sinopsis

In the early summer of 1914, the headmaster of Brighton College, Canon W. R. Dawson, spoke to the school in chapel. He called on every boy present to stand ready to sacrifice his life in defence of his country. No shot had yet been fired in anger, Austria's Archduke still lived, few anticipated a European war, and yet Brighton's headmaster seemed to sense the approaching clouds of conflict. 
 
By November 1918, of the 280 boys in the Chapel that day, 149 of them lay dead, casualties of the Great War. Ten of them were still teenagers. This book presents mini biographies of the School's former students killed in the First World War and serves as a fitting tribute to their bravery and fortitude.
Disponible desde: 12/01/2018.
Longitud de impresión: 112 páginas.

    Unemployment, at its core, refers to a state in which individuals who are willing and able to work are unable to secure employment opportunities. However, this seemingly straightforward definition belies the intricate interplay of factors that contribute to the phenomenon. From structural shifts in industries to cyclical fluctuations in economic activity, the causes of unemployment are varied and nuanced. 
      
    Why is it crucial to dissect the issue of unemployment? Beyond its economic implications, unemployment carries profound social, psychological, and political ramifications. High levels of unemployment can lead to social unrest, exacerbate inequality, and strain public resources. Moreover, the personal toll of unemployment on individuals and families cannot be overstated, as it often results in financial hardship, diminished well-being, and a sense of alienation. 
      
    By delving into the causes, consequences, and potential solutions to unemployment, this book seeks to shed light on one of the most pressing challenges of our time. Through rigorous analysis, real-world examples, and forward-thinking proposals, we endeavor to equip readers with the knowledge and tools needed to address unemployment effectively.

    Schools and universities support misleading notions of 'progress' and development, fostered by the belief that ever-increasing production, consumption and profit are proper yardsticks for measuring the quality of human life. Our universities are the recruitment centres for the personnel of the consumer society, certifying citizens for service, while at the same time disposing of those judged unfit for the competitive rat race. In this bold and provocative book, Illich suggests some radical and exciting reforms for the education system.

    Raise kids to be strong, confident, and happy—by parenting the Australian wayDamien Cave and his wife Diana thought they understood what it meant to take risks. As two journalists who traveled the world covering pressing international stories, they were convinced they had seen it all; that is, until they moved to Australia. Suddenly, their kids were being thrown into giant Pacific waves in intensive lifeguard bootcamps, and they were expected to be present and participating instead of obsessing about work or politics. They soon noticed what seemed to be a societal surrender of control to nature and community. In other words? Their American customs were completely disrupted. Living their new beachside life didn't end up being a relaxing retreat, but instead caused a complete reevaluation of the ways they acted as people and parents—and it all had to do with taking unexpected risks and learning how to manage them.New York Times Australia Bureau Chief Damien Cave delivers an impactful and informative account of how risk taking in parenting, and in all aspects of life, creates happier, healthier individuals and communities. Cave's exploration of Australian parenting culture, through gripping research and storytelling, will have you questioning everything you thought you knew about safety, risk, parenting, and, ultimately, being human.

    This detailed historical reference covers every known flag representing the Confederate State of Carolina and its role in the Civil War. Many flags have represented the state of South Carolina over its long history. After years of locating, measuring, and determining the historical significance of more than one hundred flags displayed during the War Between the States, historian Glenn Dedmondt presents the most detailed and comprehensive look at South Carolina’s Civil War-era flags.  Included in this volume are: the Lone Star and Palmetto Flag, the first Southern flag hoisted over Fort Sumter; the Charleston Depot battle flag, and the naval Jack, flown only on a ship of war when in port. Through these banners and the stories that surround them, Dedmondt relates the story of South Carolina’s Civil War years.
