Normal, having sustained the loss of his surrogate grandfather,
has trouble dealing with it. The chance to take a little bite of
retirement, as he calls it, presents itself, and he travels to New
England.
To his surprise, people recognize him as his new identity. He
learns that his new identity's parents where not married, and he
only has the mother's DNA. They tell him he has been murdered in
New York City. When he finishes his business with the natives of
Bangor, Maine, and leaves the reservation, he passes through the
Eastern states and ends up in Boston, where he defends Mario's
cousin, who is suspected of murder. After clearing her of the
charges, he tours the area in his quest for knowledge of the
history of the nation of which he is proud.
By the time he gets home, he finds much work and intrigue has
found him. It seems he is not the only one who has secrets. He
becomes a surrogate brother and uncle all in one swoop. He thinks
to himself, I may need another bite of retirement.
It is a pleasure to offer you this book containing papers about ICT
and education from the World Computer Congress 2006 (WCC 2006),
held in Santiago, Chile and sponsored by the International
Federation for Information Processing (IFIP). A lot of people
worked very hard to make this event happen and to produce this
book. The programme committee with IFIP members from around the
world issued a call for papers inspiring almost 80 people to submit
papers, posters, demonstrations, and workshops to the IFIP TC3
(Technical Committee on Education) sub-conference of WCC 2006. The
submitted papers were reviewed by a large group of referees to
select the papers to be presented at the conference. What is really
amazing is that all these people freely contributed their time and
effort to do all this work. The TC3 sub-conference of WCC 2006 has
two themes: Informatics Curricula, TEaching Methods and best
practice (ICTEM II), and Teaching and Learning with ICT: Theory,
Policy and Practice. These themes represent many of the broad range
of interests of the Working Groups of IFIP TC3. Two kinds of papers
are included in this book: full papers and short papers. Full
papers are standard papers that are appropriate for an
international conference on ICT and informatics education. Of the
64 full paper submissions, 28 (44%) were accepted. A short paper
represents work in progress, opinion, a proposal, work with
untested results, or an experience report.
Bordering intimacy explores the interconnected role of borders and
dominant forms of family intimacy in the governance of postcolonial
states. Combining a historical investigation with postcolonial,
decolonial and black feminist theory, the book reveals how the
border policies of the British and other European empires have been
reinvented for the twenty-first century through appeals to protect
and sustain 'family life' - appeals that serve to justify and
obfuscate the continued organisation of racialised violence. The
book examines the continuity of colonial rule in numerous areas of
contemporary government, including family visa regimes, the
policing of 'sham marriages', counterterror strategies, deprivation
of citizenship, policing tactics and integration policy. -- .
The history of migration is deeply entangled with colonialism. To
this day, colonial logics continue to shape the dynamics of
migration as well as the responses of states to those arriving at
their borders. And yet migration studies has been surprisingly slow
to engage with colonial histories in making sense of migratory
phenomena today. This book starts from the premise that colonial
histories should be central to migration studies and explores what
it would mean to really take that seriously. To engage with this
task, Lucy Mayblin and Joe Turner argue that scholars need not
forge new theories but must learn from and be inspired by the
wealth of literature that already exists across the world.
Providing a range of inspiring and challenging perspectives on
migration, the authors' aim is to demonstrate what paying attention
to colonialism, through using the tools offered by postcolonial,
decolonial and related scholarship, can offer those studying
international migration today. Offering a vital intervention in the
field, this important book asks scholars and students of migration
to explore the histories and continuities of colonialism in order
to better understand the present.
First published in 1927, The Nature of Deity forms a sequel to
Personality and Reality. The premise of this book is the conclusion
of the prequel: that there exists a Supreme Self or Deity. In
pursuing this argument, the author uses logic and broad facts that
prove the existence of a Supreme Self. This book will be of
interest to students of philosophy, religion, literature and
science.
First published in 1934, Essentials in the Development of Religion
was written with the conviction that the psychological and
philosophical analysis of all phases of religious experience, even
those which may be accounted the highest, is capable of yielding
results of inestimable importance which could be attained in no
other way. Dr. Turner discusses the historical development of the
philosophy of religion and reveals topics that have been
presupposed or embodied in regular human life. The book will be of
interest to students of philosophy, religion and psychology.
First published in 1926, Personality and Reality is the analysis of
the place and function of mind and God. The author argues that the
conception of a supreme Self is required for the interpretation of
the Universe, just like the requirement of the system of space and
time; and that both conceptions are established by necessities.
This book will be of interest to students of philosophy, religion,
literature and science.
First published in 1925, A Theory of Direct Realism is divided in
two parts: the first part is an attempt to formulate a realistic
theory of Perception and of the physical world, and the second part
is an exposition of Hegelian idealism and its compatibility with
realism. This book on direct realism will be of interest to
students of philosophy, history and literature.
