Beschreibung

In "Education and the Higher Life," John Lancaster Spalding delves into the transformative power of education, advocating for its intrinsic role in cultivating not only intellect but also moral and spiritual growth. Through an eloquent blend of philosophical discourse and practical wisdom, Spalding situates education within a broader socio-cultural context, suggesting that its ultimate purpose extends beyond mere vocational training to encompass the fostering of a higher life informed by ethical principles. His narrative style combines personal reflection with a deep engagement with contemporary educational theories, positioning the text at the intersection of 19th-century ideals and the emerging thoughts of modern education reformers. The author, an eminent educator, scholar, and clergyman, served as the first bishop of the Diocese of Peoria, drawing on his extensive experiences in both academia and spirituality to shape his insights. His commitment to educational reform and holistic development is evident in his personal background, marked by a dedication to uplifting society through enlightened educational practices. This background undoubtedly influenced his seminal work, as he emphasizes the integration of moral philosophy into academic curricula, reflecting his belief in the enduring impact of character and intellect. "Education and the Higher Life" is essential reading for educators, philosophers, and anyone interested in the holistic approach to personal and societal development. Spalding's passionate call for a comprehensive educational framework resonates with contemporary discussions on the purpose of education, making this text a timeless exploration of its highest aims. Engage with Spalding's profound insights and discover how education can inspire individuals to achieve their fullest potential.

    A moving portrait of two Dunera Boys, from Kristallnacht in Vienna to VE Day in Melbourne, that complicates the traditional story of the Dunera. 
    Popular culture has mythologised the Dunera Boys – but who were the real men who sailed on the infamous ship, and how did the voyage transform their lives? 
    Art historian Tonia Eckfeld draws on a deeply personal history to tell the story of her father and her uncle, Jewish refugees whose lives were shaped indelibly by their wartime experiences and internment – each to very different outcomes. 
    In 1939, Reinhold and Waldemar Eckfeld fled Hitler’s Austria to Churchill’s United Kingdom. There they were unjustly arrested and transported on the Dunera to Tatura prison camp, where it took many months to gain their freedom. Their experiences of internment were often harrowing, riven with violence, deprivation and frustration. Waldemar, who was beaten by British guards aboard the Dunera, found himself entangled in court martial proceedings – the records of which were reportedly destroyed by the British government to hush up a human-rights scandal. Reinhold, classified as an ‘enemy alien’, joined the Australian Army after release and served the country that would not legally recognise him for so long. 
    Drawing on a trove of historical artefacts – including previously unseen artworks, photographs and official documents – Tonia Eckfeld takes the reader inside these events as they unfold. Gripping and illuminating, this book asks us to reconsider the conventional narrative of the Dunera Boys, unearthing new perspectives on the impact of war, trauma and legacy on family relationships.

    The phenomenal growth of global pharmaceutical sales and the quest for innovation are driving an unprecedented search for human test subjects, particularly in middle- and low-income countries. Our hope for medical progress increasingly depends on the willingness of the world's poor to participate in clinical drug trials. While these experiments often provide those in need with vital and previously unattainable medical resources, the outsourcing and offshoring of trials also create new problems. In this groundbreaking book, anthropologist Adriana Petryna takes us deep into the clinical trials industry as it brings together players separated by vast economic and cultural differences. Moving between corporate and scientific offices in the United States and research and public health sites in Poland and Brazil, When Experiments Travel documents the complex ways that commercial medical science, with all its benefits and risks, is being integrated into local health systems and emerging drug markets.  Providing a unique perspective on globalized clinical trials, When Experiments Travel raises central questions: Are such trials exploitative or are they social goods? How are experiments controlled and how is drug safety ensured? And do these experiments help or harm public health in the countries where they are conducted? Empirically rich and theoretically innovative, the book shows that neither the language of coercion nor that of rational choice fully captures the range of situations and value systems at work in medical experiments today. When Experiments Travel challenges conventional understandings of the ethics and politics of transnational science and changes the way we think about global medicine and the new infrastructures of our lives.
