The Intersections of a Working-Class Academic Identity: A Class Apart by Teresa Crew (Emerald Publishing Limited) Price verified 21 minutes ago

The ebook edition of this title is Open Access, thanks to Knowledge Unlatched funding, and freely available to read online. Despite ongoing efforts to promote diversity, universities continue to reflect and perpetuate traditional patriarchal, colonial, and privileged hierarchies of gender, ethnicity, and class. Ensuring class diversity in academia is crucial for challenging the perception of universities as exclusive domains of privilege. Acknowledging the institutional challenges that hinder the work and careers of working-class academics (WCAs), The Intersections of a Working-Class Academic Identity recognises the adverse impacts of the overrepresentation of scholars from privileged classes, including a lack of cultural wealth in teaching and research, as well as the discouragement of talented working-class individuals who might otherwise pursue prolific academic careers. Looking beyond individual struggles, author Teresa Crew presents an informed, alternative perspective to the ...

The Shop: Part 1 by M. E. Brow 4.5 Stars (48 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

Jack Blasik has grown up in the family business -- a barber shop called The Shop: Cuts for Men. Few would guess this pillar of the community has always been a front for guns, drugs, and gambling in an otherwise quaint New England town in the southwestern corner of New Hampshire. When Kane Wexler, one of the shop's long-time colleagues, is released from a five-year stint in prison, he aims to take charge of The Shop and will stop at nothing to make it happen. What Kane doesn't bargain for is a rival criminal element in town, or Jack showing signs of wanting to get out of the family business and start a new life with his fiancé. A violent power struggle erupts between rival gangs, law enforcement, and even among the members of The Shop that threatens to destroy them all.

Everyday Ethics by Philip Wik (A Blue Kitten Book) 5.0 Stars (2 Reviews)    Price verified 3 hours ago

Everyday Ethics is my effort to try to understand ethics. We live in a world of many values and voices. Some bellow from a landscape of moral relativism. Money, power, and celebrity are voices that overpower the quieter voices of tradition. But the paradox is that sometimes the louder voices are the right voices. That popularity isn't always wrong and tradition isn't always right is the enduring challenge for those seeking guidance on how we should live. Ethics pervades the way we choose our leaders, raise our children, and how we work and play. Everyday ethics is at the core of our humanity. CONTENTS Chapter One: A Wilderness of Mirrors Chapter Two: Ethical Dilemmas Chapter Three: A Theory of Ethics Chapter Four: Extremist Ethics Chapter Five: Religious Ethics Chapter Six: Military Ethics Chapter Seven: How Then Shall We Act?

Consequently, he has devoted every waking moment of the Covid Era to advising all government cabinets everywhere on the supreme value of masks, lockdowns, mandates and being vaccinated at least once a month. He was, at a certain point however, utterly horrified to learn of the existence of certain total thickos, tinfoil hat wearers and those who were generally of a conspiratorial disposition.

Passages to Eternity: Philosophic meditations in poetic form on the meaning of eternity for 72 famous persons. by James Winder Price verified 3 hours ago

As a philosopher once surmised: talent hits a target no one else can hit. Genius, he insisted, hits a target no one else can see. The greatest artists and thinkers are the greatest seers. They do not imagine... only and merely. They study the facts, they think the facts, they feel the facts, until the facts, the acts of faith, the articles of invention, dissolve in the naked light of the hitherto unseen, until fact, faith, and invention fall away like Halloween masks, like swaddling clothes; and then, leaving behind the tricks and the treats, they teach us what to hallow: the nakedness of a newborn joy, perpetually born anew, a joy that can never die, because it never quite knows, but never fails to enjoy, how early it already is, and how young it was always going to be. All thinking, carried far enough, ends in paradox: trying to think the unthinkable. All feeling, carried far enough, ends in paradox: trying to feel the unfeelable. But one can feel the unthinkable, and think the ...

The Director, a stern and formidable figure, sat behind a polished mahogany desk, his gaze piercing through Chris like a laser.

Nuclear Survival in the Suburbs: Non-fiction by Don Shift 4.6 Stars (37 Reviews)    Price verified 5 hours ago

How does a person who lives in a wood framed house in the suburbs survive a nuclear war, especially if they don't have a basement? Turns out, the crazy advice to get into the interior rooms of your house and shelter underneath the mattress isn't so nuts after all. You don't need a fallout shelter to survive and you may only have to stay inside to avoid lethal radiation poisoning. How is this possible? A highly overlooked defense against radiation is distance. Basically, if you can get inside away from the radiation outside, the dose you will be exposed to will be around half. This is why you're told to get into the center of a building. If the radiation level is low enough, even sheltering in the center of a joisted masonry or wood framed slab on grade house can be effective. Major cities with metropolitan populations of one million or more are the likely targets for nuclear weapons. The good news is that radioactive nuclear fallout isn't likely to be as widespread or intense as ...
