No End of a Lesson

No End of a Lesson

Stuart Macintyre; Andre Brett; Gwilym Croucher

Melbourne University Press
2017

A revolution swept through universities three decades ago, transforming them from elite institutions into a mass system of higher education.Teaching was aligned with occupational outcomes, research was directed to practical results. Campuses grew and universities became more entrepreneurial. Students had to juggle their study requirements with paid work, and were required to pay back part of the cost of their degrees. The federal government directed this transformation through the creation of a Unified National System.How did this happen? What were the gains and the losses? No End of a Lesson explores this radical reconstruction and assesses its consequences.

Silver Medal Recipient in Literary Fiction at the Independent Publisher Book Awards How do you face the future if you don't know your own past? When an unexpected pregnancy changes her dreams, seventeen-year-old Annie tries to keep it from her mother and her grandmother. But secrets have a way of coming out. In a household of strong women, the arrival of a new life sets off a spiral of truth that reveals a past full of whispers and lies-a past that existed in another world under the heavy hand of Soviet oppression. This history has dictated the circumstances of the present, but hope, redemption, and forgiveness will grow in the rocky places of these generational differences. A Silver Willow by the Shore is the story of the unshakeable love between mothers and daughters and of the impact that past decisions can have on present day circumstances. This novel weaves together the stories of generations of women, from the gulags of 1930's Siberia, to the quiet oppression of 1980's Soviet Moscow, to present day Tennessee. It is an unforgettable narrative of the treachery of secrets, and of the light that unites the heart of a family.

It Was All a Lie

It Was All a Lie

Stuart Stevens

Vintage Books
2021
nidottu
New York Times Bestseller From the most successful Republican political operative of his generation, a searing, unflinching, and deeply personal expos of how his party became what it is today Stuart Stevens spent decades electing Republicans at every level, from presidents to senators to local officials. He knows the GOP as intimately as anyone in America, and in this new book he offers a devastating portrait of a party that has lost its moral and political compass. This is not a book about how Donald J. Trump hijacked the Republican Party and changed it into something else. Stevens shows how Trump is in fact the natural outcome of five decades of hypocrisy and self-delusion, dating all the way back to the civil rights legislation of the early 1960s. Stevens shows how racism has always lurked in the modern GOP's DNA, from Goldwater's opposition to desegregation to Ronald Reagan's welfare queens and states' rights rhetoric. He gives an insider's account of the rank hypocrisy of the party's claims to embody family values, and shows how the party's vaunted commitment to fiscal responsibility has been a charade since the 1980s. When a party stands for nothing, he argues, it is only natural that it will be taken over by the loudest and angriest voices in the room.

Angela MacGregor has lived a life of obsessions. In middle age she started to find some peace from those obsessions in her self-imposed exile in the mountain country in the Hunter Valley. That peace is shattered when a bushfire threatens to destroy everything and everybody she has come to love. The fire forces Angela to not only leave her home, but to come to terms with her literary obsessions and the price she has paid building and then losing her academic career. The past is always present in this debut novel by Glenn Stuart Beatty. There is Angela's past, lost in the land of words and ideas and there is the past contained in the secrets of a small community forced to face its buried truths uncovered by the ashes of a devastating bushfire and ghosts in Angela's head. As an academic, Angela was obsessed with many things: the writing of Randolph Stow (her first literary love) and later James Joyce. Her life collides with the lives of a dissolute group of writers she is researching in 1940's Sydney and a young woman's suicide while, at the same time, she lives a life of regret about the things she did when she was young. All of these events of the past are brought back to life as Angela confronts a devastating bushfire that will change everything forever.

Thirteen Ways to Steal a Bicycle

Thirteen Ways to Steal a Bicycle

Stuart P. Green

Harvard University Press
2012

Theft claims more victims and causes greater economic injury than any other criminal offense. Yet theft law is enigmatic, and fundamental questions about what should count as stealing remain unresolved—especially misappropriations of intellectual property, information, ideas, identities, and virtual property. In Thirteen Ways to Steal a Bicycle, Stuart Green assesses our current legal framework at a time when our economy increasingly commodifies intangibles and when the means of committing theft and fraud grow ever more sophisticated. Was it theft for the editor of a technology blog to buy a prototype iPhone he allegedly knew had been lost by an Apple engineer in a Silicon Valley bar? Was it theft for doctors to use a patient’s tissue without permission in order to harvest a valuable cell line? For an Internet activist to publish tens of thousands of State Department documents on his Web site?In this full-scale critique, Green reveals that the last major reforms in Anglophone theft law, which took place almost fifty years ago, flattened moral distinctions, so that the same punishments are now assigned to vastly different offenses. Unreflective of community attitudes toward theft, which favor gradations in blameworthiness according to what is stolen and under what circumstances, and uninfluenced by advancements in criminal law theory, theft law cries out for another reformation—and soon.

First published in 1962. This volume is a collection of the papers from the Mercantile College that preserved as examples of the 'accounts of many distinguished and eminent merchants deceased ... who trod the Royal Exchange with supreme credit and dignity'. They bring together the commercial pride which was reached in the eighteenth century, before the challenge of industry and an economic interpretation based on its predominance brought its sobering influence to bear on 'the great mercantile classes of England'.
