Education and Equality
American education as we know it today—guaranteed by the state to serve every child in the country—is still less than a hundred years old. It’s no wonder we haven’t agreed yet as to exactly what role education should play in our society. In these Tanner Lectures, Danielle Allen brings us much closer, examining the ideological impasse between vocational and humanistic approaches that has plagued educational discourse, offering a compelling proposal to finally resolve the dispute. Allen argues that education plays a crucial role in the cultivation of political and social equality and economic fairness, but that we have lost sight of exactly what that role is and should be. Drawing on t...

Internet of Things
The Internet of Things as an emerging global Internet-based information archit- ture facilitating the exchange of goods and services is gradually developing. While the technology of the Internet of Things is still being discussed and created, the legal framework should be established before the Internet of Things is fully operable, in order to allow for an efective introduction of the new information architecture. If a self-regulatory approach is to be adopted to provide a legal framework for the Internet of Things, and this seems preferable, rulemakers can draw on experiences from the current regime of Internet governance. In the near future, mainly businesses will operate in the Internet o...

Satire and the Hebrew Prophets
In this book, Thomas Jemielity demonstrates the striking relationship between satire and Hebrew prophecy by reviewing the role of ridicule in both and analyzing questions of nature, structure, form, and audience. This pioneering study makes compelling reading for all interested in the Bible and Western literature. The Literary Currents in Biblical Interpretation series explores current trends within the discipline of biblical interpretation by dealing with the literary qualities of the Bible: the play of its language, the coherence of its final form, and the relationships between text and readers. Biblical interpreters are being challenged to take responsibility for the theological, social, and ethical implications of their readings. This series encourages original readings that breach the confines of traditional biblical criticism.
Dan Shocker's Macabros 40
Als das Telefon klingelte, fuhr Spencer Loredge zusammen, als hätte ein Peitschenschlag ihn getroffen. Der Blick des dreiundfünfzigjährigen Wissenschaftlers flog nicht zu dem rasselnden Apparat, sondern zur Uhr. Wenige Minuten nach zehn Uhr abends. Er konnte sich nicht daran erinnern, dass in den letzten Jahren jemand nach neun Uhr noch angerufen hatte. Spencer Loredge war bekannt dafür, dass er es nicht liebte, nach neun Uhr abends gestört zu werden. Jeder in seinem Freundes- und Bekanntenkreis hielt sich daran. Wer konnte jetzt noch anrufen? Die Kultserie MACABROS jetzt als E-Book. Natürlich ungekürzt und unverfälscht, mit alter Rechtschreibung und zeitlosem Grusel. Und vor allem: unglaublich spannend.
Star Carr Volume 1
This first volume of Star Carr provides an interpretation of the Star Carr site, one of the most important Mesolithic sites in Europe. Discovered in the late 1940s by John Moore and then excavated by Grahame Clark from 1949-1951, the site is famous in the archaeological world for its wealth of rare organic remains, including significant wooden artefacts. However, since the original excavations there has been much debate about how the site was used: was it a residential base camp, a hunting camp or even a ritual site? The 2003-2015 excavations directed by Conneller, Milner and Taylor aimed to answer these questions. In use for around 800 years, the Star Carr site is much larger and more compl...
