Описание: The expansion of Western education overseas has been both an economic success, if the rise in numbers of American, European, and Australian universities rushing to set up campuses in Asia and the Middle East is to serve as a measure, and a source of great consternation for academics concerned with norms of free inquiry and intellectual freedom. Faculty at Western campuses have resisted the opening of new satellite campuses, fearing that their colleagues those campuses would be less free to teach and engage in intellectual inquiry, and that students could be denied the free inquiry that is normally associated with liberal arts education. Critics point to the denial of visas to academics wishing to carry out research on foreign campuses, the sudden termination of employment at schools in both the Middle East and Asia, or the last-minute cancellation of courses at those schools, as evidence that they were correctly suspicious of the possibility that liberal arts programs could exist in those regions.

Supporters of the project have argued that opening up foreign campuses would bring free inquiry to closed societies, improve educational opportunities for students who would otherwise be denied them, or, perhaps less frequently, that free inquiry will be no less pressured than in the United States or Western Europe. Normative Tensions examines the consequences not only of expansion overseas, but the increased opening of universities to foreign students.

Описание: The F-15C and F-15E have formed the backbone of US and coalition operations in the Middle East for over a decade, enforcing the will of the international community through direct military action and functioning as a military presence to underpin diplomatic efforts. Operations Southern Watch and Northern Watch provided the basis for these actions and are both under-publicised success stories that saw each plane engaged in important operations. This book examines the central role that these two aircraft have had in a range of operations, culminating in their use by the USAF in Operation Iraqi Freedom, launched in March 2003.

Описание:

A compelling account of the threat immigration control poses to the citizens of free societies

Immigration is often seen as a danger to western liberal democracies because it threatens to undermine their fundamental values, most notably freedom and national self-determination. In this book, however, Chandran Kukathas argues that the greater threat comes not from immigration but from immigration control.

Kukathas shows that immigration control is not merely about preventing outsiders from moving across borders. It is about controlling what outsiders do once in a society: whether they work, reside, study, set up businesses, or share their lives with others. But controlling outsiders--immigrants or would-be immigrants--requires regulating, monitoring, and sanctioning insiders, those citizens and residents who might otherwise hire, trade with, house, teach, or generally associate with outsiders. The more vigorously immigration control is pursued, the more seriously freedom is diminished. The search for control threatens freedom directly, and it also weakens the values upon which it relies, notably equality and the rule of law. Kukathas demonstrates that the imagined gains from efforts to control immigration are illusory, for they do not promote either economic prosperity or social solidarity. Nor does immigration control bring self-determination, since the apparatus of control is an international institutional regime that increases the power of states and their agencies at the expense of citizens. That power includes the authority to determine who is and is not an insider: to define identity itself.

Looking at past and current practices across the world, Immigration and Freedom presents a critique of immigration control as an institutional reality, as well as an account of what freedom means--and why it matters.

Описание: Elizabeth Packard was an ordinary Victorian housewife and mother of six. That was, until the first Woman`s Rights Convention was held in 1848, inspiring Elizabeth and many other women to dream of greater freedoms. Incensed and threatened by her growing independence, her husband had her declared `slightly insane` and committed to an asylum. There, Elizabeth found many like her, incarcerated for daring to have a voice. But just because you are sane, it doesn`t mean you can escape the madhouse. Fighting stigma, Elizabeth embarked on a ceaseless quest for justice, ultmately leading to a giant leap forward in human rights the world over.

Описание: Using a creative writing approach to introduce running as joy, freedom, and opportunity, The Ultra Mile is a journey of seeking the transformation of what is impossible into the beginning of possibility. For experience levels ranging from the beginner, all the way to the ultramarathon runner, this book will alter your perception and offer new perspectives. The purpose of this book is to open your mind to our true capabilities and the psychological approach toward unlocking hidden strength.
The yearning to accomplish all goals and ambitions begins to provide meaning and purpose, especially when a deep desire within is the pursuit of passion. But what if that passion is to explore what lies beyond limitations, a journey of seeking endless possibilities?
Topics range from the freedom, form, and joy of running, to goal setting and preparing a mindset for training. Covering various training guidelines and principles in a casual tone, to the importance of muscle balance and injury prevention, the author articulates his knowledge of science and conveys his message in a sensible manner. Take an in-depth look at 'why' running distances of these magnitudes is psychologically appealing. The personal experiences of running the Keys 100, and a 116-mile race across Florida, brings to life the reality of pushing the mind and body to find its true potential.
Using a combination of philosophy, psychology, science, and personal experience, the author's gift for creative writing describes the physical, mental, and emotional factors that coincide with the exploration of human endurance.

Описание: Traditionally, our society has broadly agreed that the “good university” should teach the intellectual skills students need to become citizens who are intelligently critical of their own beliefs and of the narratives presented politicians, society, the media, and, indeed, universities themselves. The freedom to debate is essential to the development of critical thought, but on university campuses today free speech is increasingly restricted for fear of causing “offense.” In this daring and intrepid book, which was originally withdrawn from publication by another publisher but is now proudly presented by Academica Press, the famous intelligence researcher James R. Flynn presents the underlying factors that have circumscribed the range of ideas now tolerated in our institutions of learning. Flynn studiously examines how universities effectively censor teaching, how social and political activism effectively censors its opponents, and how academics censor themselves and each other. A Book Too Risky To Publish concludes that few universities are now living up to their original mission to promote free inquiry and unfettered critical thought. In an age marred by fake news and ever increasing social and political polarization, this book makes an impassioned argument for a return to critical thought in our institutions of higher education.
