    Unfolding the Past (eBook, PDF)
    Elizabeth Wilson is a pioneer of fashion studies, yet she never intended to become an academic. Starting her literary career as a feminist activist writing for the underground press, she went on to explore tennis, 'bohemians' and of course fashion - her obsession - along with forays into fiction. Throughout, she has never seen her work as abstract or disengaged from 'real life'. In her memoir, she traces this relationship between personal experience and her writing, revisiting pivotal moments from childhood, adolescence and adult life to explore her belief that research, by its nature, is always a form of autobiography. She unfolds the garment of her life in a wide-ranging exploration of scenes from her past: her difficult relationship with her mother, fashion in the 60s and gay liberation. In this journey through time she shows how experiences are inseparable from the way we seek to explain and understand them, offering a unique and deeply personal account of her - and our - cultural world.

    Boys Adrift: The Five Factors Driving the Growing Epidemic of Unmotivated Boys and Underachieving Young Men , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 498min
    Something scary is happening to boys today. From kindergarten to college, American boys are, on average, less resilient and less ambitious than they were a mere 20 years ago. The gender gap in college attendance and graduation rates has widened dramatically. While Emily is working hard at school and getting A's, her brother, Justin, is goofing off. He's more concerned about getting to the next level in his video game than about finishing his homework. Now, Dr. Leonard Sax delves into the scientific literature and draws on more than 20 years of clinical experience to explain why boys and young men are failing in school and disengaged at home. He shows how social, cultural, and biological factors have created an environment that is literally toxic to boys. He also presents practical solutions, sharing strategies that educators have found effective in reengaging these boys at school as well as handy tips for parents about everything from homework to video games to medication. ungekürzt.

    Jump-Starting Boys: Help Your Reluctant Learner Find Success in School and Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 409min
    Everyone knows that boys are falling behind in education. Largely left out of the discussion are parents of boys, who are most aware that their bright, eager sons hit an invisible wall somewhere near fourth grade, after which they become disengaged, discouraged, and disaffected. There are dozens of books on underachieving boys, but most parents brave enough to lift one off the shelf are instantly intimidated by the footnotes, graphs, case studies, and academic-speak addressed almost entirely to educators. What about the average guilt-ridden, frustrated mother or father of an underachieving boy? Jump-Starting Boys is the first book on the market that empowers parents, helping them reclaim the duties and rewards of raising their children and navigate the influences of school and media. Filled with reassurance and support, the authors turn fear and guilt into can-do confidence. Through easy tips and action list sidebars, this is the most practical, readable book on the topic. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gillian Vance.

    Get Switched on!: Reevaluate Your Life and Get What You Want...NOW! , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 84min
    In difficult economic times, people tend to make excuses, focus on what's not working, and become disillusioned - a disengaged team is not good for your bottom line. But it doesn't have to be this way! "Switched off" employees can turn a small morning upset into a bad day, which evolves into a bad week, then a bad month, etc. Smart companies know that when their employees are "switched on" - for every phone call, every meeting, and every appointment - it pays big benefits. In this exciting and dynamic presentation, "Get Switched On!", Chip shows you how to help your team recapture the power of momentum. Is there a gap between where you are and where you want to be? Your choices have brought you to where you are today, whether positive or negative. Recognizing this fact also leads to the realization that if you make different choices-sometimes extremely difficult choices, you can reach that new target much quicker. ungekürzt. Language: English.
