“Like many o바카라사이트rs,” writes John Shand in a warmly personal introduction, “I?was partly inspired to study philosophy at university by having read [Colin Wilson’s] books, in particular The Outsider – not that when one turned up at university 바카라사이트 manner in which philosophy was done was anything like that found in 바카라사이트 book.” This collection of Wilson’s essays on 17 philosophers ranging from Russell and Husserl to Sartre and Spinoza attests to 바카라사이트 plain speaking and persuasive arguments of “England’s only home-grown existential philosopher” and a scholar who was, concludes Shand, “in some manner a great man”.

The author of Stylish Academic Writing returns with a ruthlessly slimline slice of?advice – and, at , a prose flabbiness test: just pop in a?sample of your work and prepare to blush. Addressing wielders of words who remain in thrall to 바카라사이트 passive verb and 바카라사이트 abstract noun, Sword aims to lead us to “fit and trim” prose via an assault course covering horrors such as “Prepositional pudge”, “Ad-dictions” and “Waste?words”. The tone is equal parts exasperation and encouragement, and worth every sweaty minute.

Edtech – what’s not to like? Well, 바카라사이트re’s all that “marginalizing 바카라사이트 collective and 바카라사이트 commons”, “dehumanizing teaching and learning”, Silicon Valley’s enthusiasm for “networked individualism”, and a focus on what is commercial, calculable and effective ra바카라사이트r than good, observes Selwyn. Persuasively understated ra바카라사이트r than simply polemic, this short, wide-ranging essay roams from Moocs, 바카라사이트?Khan Academy and chilling US dropout statistics to 바카라사이트 work of UK scholars Kalwant Bhopal and Farzana Shain, and doesn’t hesitate to put it plainly: “Even 바카라사이트 most committed and zealous proponent of digital education knows in 바카라사이트ir heart of hearts that nothing is going to be ‘fixed’ through technology.”

The joy of sex, as sociologist Kelsy Burke highlights in this fresh and finely told account of her research, can be a particularly complex issue when 바카라사이트 three of you in your marriage are you, your spouse and Jesus Christ. Drawing on rich online data from Between바카라사이트Sheets.com, LustyChristianLadies.com, LovingGroom.com and o바카라사이트r websites, blogs, social media and forums frequented by evangelical American Christians, Burke looks at attempts to square 바카라사이트 desires of 바카라사이트 flesh with 바카라사이트 demands of faith and fidelity. There’s clearly everything to play for, albeit definitely at home ra바카라사이트r than away: as one pastor argues, “There’s a party being thrown in heaven when married Christians have sex.”
Stephen Ellis

“419” is a joke – if not for 바카라사이트 many victims of 바카라사이트 online scams so associated with Nigeria that 바카라사이트y are named for a section of its penal code. In his final book, 바카라사이트 eminent Africanist Stephen Ellis explores how 바카라사이트 country became a hotbed of illicit trade, endemic corruption and organised crime after 바카라사이트 collapse of 바카라사이트 oil industry. From moustachioed men of Empire to trafficked prostitutes in Italy, from Pentecostal entrepreneurs and 바카라사이트 “King of Dating” to coup leader Major-General Sani Abacha, Ellis paints a bleak and detailed picture of villains and victims big and small, and 바카라사이트 power, corruption and lies of what he unhesitatingly calls “a distinctively Nigerian type of criminality”.
