School Knowledge for the Masses
Author: John Meyer
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351846094
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
First published in 1992, this book presents unique quantitative data on the content coverage of primary education in a large number of countries since 1920. It demonstrates that these curricular outlines tend to be surprisingly similar across very disparate countries, and suggests the world processes that produced this result. Specifically, the study shows that the contemporary primary curriculum dates from changes in the late nineteenth century; that there has been a general shift towards a ‘social studies’ subject; that instruction in mathematics and sciences has tended to expand; that there have been substantial increases in foreign language instruction (and changes in the languages taught); and that instruction in the arts and physical education come to the standard world education model much later than other subjects. This work will be of particular interest to those studying primary curriculum, international education and the sociology of education.

Autopsy of a Pandemic
Author: Julius Ruechel
Publisher: Independently Published
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 278
Book Description
In Autopsy of a Pandemic, independent investigative writer Julius Ruechel systematically dismantles the data manipulation, lies, and distorted scientific principles that have plunged the world into medical tyranny since the SARS-CoV-2 virus was first detected at the end of 2019. Part one, The Lies Exposed by the Numbers, tells the story of the pandemic using the government's own official data. What emerges is a shocking story of deliberate scientific misconduct and breach of trust, which reveals the horrifying - and deadly - consequences of stripping data of context and allowing governments to evade transparency. Part two, Washington's Inoculation Gamble, focuses on the government's decision to rely on vaccines as an exit strategy and uses official government data to calculate the Vegas odds of death from the virus versus the odds of injury or death from the vaccines. This simple calculation is the basis of the principle of informed consent, which was established by the Nuremberg Code in the aftermath of the Second World War. Part two helps you take back control over your medical decisions by giving you the knowledge base to stop being manipulated by public health officials who are willfully distorting basic medical principles and using coercion to push universal vaccines and vaccine passports. And in part three, The Snake-Oil Salesmen and the Covid-Zero Con, Julius Ruechel takes a tour though pre-COVID science to demonstrate that, from day one, lockdowns and vaccines as an exit strategy were a deliberate fantasy, cultivated by international health agencies and vaccine developers, which was designed to rope us into a pharmaceutical dependency as a deceitful trade-off for access to our lives. Variant by variant. For as long as the public is willing to go along for the ride. It's the subscription-based business model, adapted to the pharmaceutical industry. "Immunity as a service". Combined with PCR testing, this may be the world's most lucrative shakedown ever perpetrated on an unsuspecting public. For anyone caught up in the panic of the last year and a half, Autopsy of a Pandemic clears a path through the fog of chaos to help them break free from fear. For anyone who has already broken free of the spell, this book provides a kind of record to gain perspective over what has been done to us. And for future generations, this book serves as a warning to prevent this from ever happening again.

Doomi Golo—The Hidden Notebooks
Author: Boubacar Boris Diop
Publisher: MSU Press
ISBN: 1628952741
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 393
Book Description
The first novel to be translated from Wolof to English, Doomi Golo—The Hidden Notebooks is a masterful work that conveys the story of Nguirane Faye and his attempts to communicate with his grandson before he dies. With a narrative structure that beautifully imitates the movements of a musical piece, Diop relates Faye’s trauma of losing his only son, Assane Tall, which is compounded by his grandson Badou’s migration to an unknown destination. While Faye feels certain that his grandson will return one day, he also is convinced that he will no longer be alive by then. Faye spends his days sitting under a mango tree in the courtyard of his home, reminiscing and observing his surroundings. He speaks to Badou through his seven notebooks, six of which are revealed to the reader, while the seventh, the “Book of Secrets,” is highly confidential and reserved for Badou’s eyes only. In the absence of letters from Badou, the notebooks form the only possible means of communication between the two, carrying within them tunes and repetitions that give this novel its unusual shape: loose and meandering on the one hand, coherent and tightly interwoven on the other. Translated by Vera Wülfing-Leckie and El Hadji Moustapha Diop.

People from Our Side
Author: Peter Pitseolak
Publisher: Hurtig
ISBN: 9780888300898
Category : Baffin Island (Nunavut)
Languages : en
Pages : 159
Book Description
The text of People from Our Side consists of Peter Pitseolak's manuscript -- originally written in syllabics -- and a narrative drawn from interviews conducted by Dorothy Eber with the help of young Inuit interpreters. Peter Pitseolak learned the system of reading and writing brought by the missionaries and from an early age formed the habit of keeping a diary. He took his first photograph for a white man who was afraid to approach a polar bear and later, in the early 1940s, acquired his own camera and taught himself, with the help of his wife Aggeok, to develop films in igloo, tent, and hut. His pictures catch, as no white photographer's could, the authentic quality and detail of Eskimo life in the last days of the camp system. Sweeping from nomadic times to the early 1970s, Peter Pitseolak provides a frank and vigorous account of how change came to Baffin Island. A realist who knew he was providing a social history of a vanishing way of life, his story is a farewell to traditional camp life and to Seekooseelak -- where the people of Cape Dorset once had their camps. -- from google books.

Gardens of the Roman Empire
Author: Wilhelmina F. Jashemski
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108327036
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 656
Book Description
In Gardens of the Roman Empire, the pioneering archaeologist Wilhelmina F. Jashemski sets out to examine the role of ancient Roman gardens in daily life throughout the empire. This study, therefore, includes for the first time, archaeological, literary, and artistic evidence about ancient Roman gardens across the entire Roman Empire from Britain to Arabia. Through well-illustrated essays by leading scholars in the field, various types of gardens are examined, from how Romans actually created their gardens to the experience of gardens as revealed in literature and art. Demonstrating the central role and value of gardens in Roman civilization, Jashemski and a distinguished, international team of contributors have created a landmark reference work that will serve as the foundation for future scholarship on this topic. An accompanying digital catalogue will be made available at: www.gardensoftheromanempire.org.
