Sinossi

"School Lunch Adventures" offers a groundbreaking exploration of how the seemingly simple thirty-minute lunch period shapes children's social development and decision-making abilities in elementary schools. Drawing from extensive research across 50 schools over five years, this comprehensive study unveils the complex social ecosystem that emerges in school cafeterias, where children develop crucial life skills through food trading, seating dynamics, and peer interactions.The book skillfully weaves together three main threads: the informal economy of lunch trading, the evolution of social hierarchies through seating choices, and the intricate relationship between food preferences and peer relationships. Through careful observation and data collection, the research reveals how these brief daily interactions serve as a vital laboratory for developing negotiation skills and social awareness.The historical context, beginning with the 1946 National School Lunch Act, provides essential background for understanding how institutional policies influence these dynamics. Moving from methodology to practical applications, the text progresses through detailed analyses of table group dynamics and food negotiations, ultimately offering valuable insights for educators and parents.What sets this work apart is its unique intersection of child psychology, nutrition science, and educational theory, presented in accessible language while maintaining academic rigor. The research's practical implications, including recommendations for cafeteria layout and supervision strategies, make it an invaluable resource for education professionals and parents alike who seek to understand and support children's social development during these crucial daily interactions.

    Across the world, AI is used as a tool for political manipulation and totalitarian repression. Stories about AI are often stories of polarization, discrimination, surveillance, and oppression. Is democracy in danger? And can we do anything about it? 
     
       
     
    In this compelling and balanced book, Mark Coeckelbergh reveals the key risks posed by AI for democracy. He argues that AI, as currently used and developed, undermines fundamental principles on which liberal democracies are founded, such as freedom and equality. How can we make democracy more resilient in the face of AI? And, more positively, what can AI do for democracy? Coeckelbergh advocates not only for more democratic technologies, but also for new political institutions and a renewal of education to ensure that AI promotes, rather than hinders, the common good for the twenty-first century. 
     
      
     
    Why AI Undermines Democracy and What to Do About It is a must-listen for anyone who is concerned about the fate of democracy.

    A memoir-in-essays on transness, dad rock, and the music that saves us. 
     
     
     
    When Wilco's 2007 album Sky Blue Sky was infamously criticized as "dad rock," Niko Stratis was a twenty-five-year-old closeted trans woman working in her dad's glass shop in the Yukon Territory. As she sought escape from her hypermasculine environment, Stratis found an unlikely lifeline amid dad rock's emotionally open and honest music. Listening to dad rock, Stratis could access worlds beyond her own and imagine a path forward. 
     
     
     
    In taut, searing essays rendered in propulsive and unguarded prose, Stratis delves into the emotional core of bands like Wilco and The National, telling her story through the dad rock that accompanied her along the way. She found footing in Michael Stipe's allusions to queer longing, Radiohead's embrace of unknowability, and Bruce Springsteen's very trans desire to "change my clothes my hair my face"—and she found in artists like Neko Case and Sharon Van Etten that the label transcends gender. A love letter to the music that saves us and a tribute to dads like Stratis's own who embody the tenderness at the genre's heart, The Dad Rock That Made Me a Woman rejoices in music unafraid to bare its soul.
