Book Description
Alien Spaces in Similar Places is a Sci-fi novel for young adults. Ashton Claiborne, a young and smart lad, played with his mirrors in the attic of his home. He came upon Alana Walton by sheer accident, during one of his frightening trips, wandering into a parallel space. He found out that Alana robbed his grandmother, Nelda, blind. He told his sister about it and both investigated Alana, traveling through the mirrors. His father, Thomas Claiborne, later joined his siblings, helping to hunt down Alana. After Ashton's grandmother died, she sucked her dry of blood and backfilled her with embalming fluid. She was good at her job, and usually she catered to the embalming candidates before they died, familiarizing herself with their financial circumstance and then finishing her job after the victim's death. Eventually, Thomas and his children were instrumental bringing Alana Walton and her accomplices to justice to justice.

Space, Place, and Landscape in Ancient Greek Literature and Culture
Author: Kate Gilhuly
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139992716
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
This book brings together a collection of original essays that engage with cultural geography and landscape studies to produce new ways of understanding place, space, and landscape in Greek literature from the fifth and fourth centuries BCE. The authors draw on an eclectic collection of contemporary approaches to bring the study of ancient Greek literature into dialogue with the burgeoning discussion of spatial theory in the humanities. The essays in this volume treat a variety of textual spaces, from the intimate to the expansive: the bedroom, ritual space, the law courts, theatrical space, the poetics of the city, and the landscape of war. And yet, all of the contributions are united by an interest in recuperating some of the many ways in which the ancient Greeks in the archaic and classical periods invested places with meaning and in how the representation of place links texts to social practices.

The Alien Perspective
Author: David Whitehouse
Publisher: Icon Books
ISBN: 1785789376
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 192
Book Description
Astronomer and science writer David Whitehouse takes us on a journey through the evolving cosmos as he considers humankind's place in the universe - and how our survival depends on otherworldly perspectives. From the Earth to the depths of outer space, this inspiring book shows how human evolution has been intertwined with the workings of the cosmos from the very beginning, and what the far-distant future may hold, both for the universe and for ourselves. Given enough time, Whitehouse contends, we must communicate with intelligent aliens whose divergent perspective will transform our understanding of the universe. First contact may even come sooner than we think. We have already transmitted signals towards promising exoplanets. If, say, Gliese 581d harbours life, the return signal could reach us in 2051. Drawing the thread of human consciousness from the cave to the cosmos, the acclaimed author of Apollo 11: The Inside Story charts our future journey to the end of space and time and considers whether something of humanity could remain at the end of it all.

World Class Universities
Author: Sharon Rider
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811575983
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
This open access book focuses on the dimensions of the discourse of 'The World Class University', its alleged characteristics, and its policy expressions. It offers a broad overview of the historical background and current trajectory of the world-class-university construct. It also deepens the theoretical discussion, and points a way forward out of present impasses resulting from the pervasive use and abuse of the notion of "world-class" and related terms in the discourse of quality assessment. The book includes approaches and results from fields of inquiry not otherwise prominent in Higher Education studies, including philosophy and media studies, as well as sociology, anthropology, educational theory. The growing impact of global rankings and their strategic use in the restructuring of higher education systems to increase global competitiveness has led to a ‘reputation race’ and the emergence of the global discourse of world class universities. The discourse of world class universities has rapid uptake in East Asian countries, with China recently refining its strategy. This book provides insights into this process and its future development.

Children's Places
Author: Karen Fog Olwig
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1135144370
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 260
Book Description
Children's Places examines the ways in which children and adults, from their different vantage-points in society, negotiate the 'proper place' of children in both social and spatial terms. It looks at some of the recognised constructions of children, including perspectives from cultures that do not distinguish children as a distinct category of people, as well as examining contexts for them, from schools and kindergartens to inner cities and war-zones. The result is a much-needed insight into the notions of inclusion and exclusion, the placement and displacement of children within generational ranks and orders, and the kinds of places that children construct for themselves. Based on in-depth ethnographic research from Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, Australia and New Zealand.
