Download or read book Known and Strange Things written by Teju Cole and published by Random House. This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A blazingly intelligent first book of essays from the award-winning author of Open City and Every Day Is for the Thief NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Time • The Guardian • Harper's Bazaar • San Francisco Chronicle • The Atlantic • Financial Times • Kirkus Finalist for the PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay and PEN/Jean Stein Book Award With this collection of more than fifty pieces on politics, photography, travel, history, and literature, Teju Cole solidifies his place as one of today’s most powerful and original voices. On page after page, deploying prose dense with beauty and ideas, he finds fresh and potent ways to interpret art, people, and historical moments, taking in subjects from Virginia Woolf, Shakespeare, and W. G. Sebald to Instagram, Barack Obama, and Boko Haram. Cole brings us new considerations of James Baldwin in the age of Black Lives Matter; the African American photographer Roy DeCarava, who, forced to shoot with film calibrated exclusively for white skin tones, found his way to a startling and true depiction of black subjects; and (in an essay that inspired both praise and pushback when it first appeared) the White Savior Industrial Complex, the system by which African nations are sentimentally aided by an America “developed on pillage.” Persuasive and provocative, erudite yet accessible, Known and Strange Things is an opportunity to live within Teju Cole’s wide-ranging enthusiasms, curiosities, and passions, and a chance to see the world in surprising and affecting new frames. Praise for Known and Strange Things “On every level of engagement and critique, Known and Strange Things is an essential and scintillating journey.”—Claudia Rankine, The New York Times Book Review (Editors’ Choice) “A heady mix of wit, nostalgia, pathos, and a genuine desire to untangle the world, or at the least, to bask in its unending riddles.”—The Atlantic “Brilliant . . . [Known and Strange Things] reveals Cole’s extraordinary talent and his capacious mind.”—Time “[Known and Strange Things] showcases the magnificent breadth of subjects [Cole] is able to plumb with . . . passion and eloquence.”—Harper’s Bazaar “[Cole is] one of the most vibrant voices in contemporary writing.”—LA Times “Cole has fulfilled the dazzling promise of his novels Every Day Is for the Thief and Open City. He ranges over his interests with voracious keenness, laser-sharp prose, an open heart and a clear eye.”—The Guardian “Remarkably probing essays . . . Cole is one of only a very few lavishing his focused attention on that most approachable (and perhaps therefore most overlooked) art form, photography.”—Chicago Tribune “There’s almost no subject Cole can’t come at from a startling angle. . . . His [is a] prickly, eclectic, roaming mind.”—The Boston Globe “[Cole] brings a subtle, layered perspective to all he encounters.”—Vanity Fair “In page after page, Cole upholds the sterling virtue of good writing combined with emotional and intellectual engagement.”—The New Statesman “[Known and Strange Things possesses] a passion for justice, a deep sympathy for the poor and the powerless around the world, and a fiery moral outrage.”—Poets and Writers

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I hope you are well, sound of your mind and enjoying your days and nights. I know, many of your questions remained unanswered and one such question is "Why did I disappear suddenly after a stupid quarrel with you?‟ Isn't it? Yes, it was a meaningless and useless quarrel to me also, as it was to you, but the things started wrong even before. Do you remember the night; we were together in my room? Don‟t waste your time in advocating who was faulty for what happened between us but try to remember how much you changed since then. If I am not wrong, you never loved me. You started with me flirting over phone and then sharing the kitchen but still you never loved me. And your decision of marrying me was nothing but the sympathy towards me. I know, you got emotional first after knowing about my family and then about Sumit's betrayal to me. And ultimately when the cancer grabbed me, you decided to help poor Parul by marrying her but then also you were confused about your decision. You may love me from your brain, by your body but never from the heart. I loved you very much and shared everything with you even my bed but your love hurt me more than Sumit's betrayal. I had promised myself that I would not contact you any day but I did because I am again on chemotherapy, my cancer was never gone, it is now at its second stage. Doctors said nothing but I am sure that I have almost finished my journey but a month or two more. I am done. Still I love you Mr. Revolution and so I don't want you to compromise with your life, you marry a beautiful girl but remember, this time you make a hearty relation. And lastly, you can't find me out and even don't try because if you search me, you will get a heartless and frozen body only, not Parul. Be happy forever and live a prosperous life. With love, Your Parul” This is Parul's letter to Biplob. Know what was wrong between them. This book is all about the heart touching story of Biplob, a budding doctor. What are the situations he goes through? How he manages? What does love mean to him? And at the end author asks: Is Everything Really Fair in Love and War? It is a story of love, reality and the compromised life that we live.....!!!!

Download or read book Teachability and Learnability written by Paul Fairfield and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Deep disagreements exist regarding what thinking and critical thinking are and to what extent they are teachable. Thinking is learned in some measure by all, but not everything that is learnable is also teachable in an institutional setting. In questioning the relationship between teachability and learnability, Fairfield investigates the implications of thinking as inquiry, education as the cultivation of agency, and self-education. By challenging some of the standard conceptions of thinking, the author explores the limits of teachability and advances critiques of standardized tests, digital learning technologies, and managerialism in education.
