  • Bushcraft : a guide to surviving in dangerous situations, essential tools, and skills for emergencies, plus how to elude pursuers and evade capture

    Creator

    Reeves, Ray E.

    Abstract

    To survive, you need practical bushcraft skills passed from one generation onto the next. You need to know how to protect yourself from the elements, how to keep predators away, where to seek food and water. Surprisingly, young people lack all the essential skills required to survive in the wild. Our urbanized, detached lifestyles have made us forget basics like tying knots, starting a fire and distilling water to keep us safe. Anyone can benefit from the basic bushcraft skills and experiences to survive a disaster or an emergency.

  • Books that matter : the city of God

    Creator

    Mathewes, Charles T.

    Abstract

    Augustine of Hippo's masterpiece The City of God is one of the greatest books ever written, yet its size - nearly 1,000 pages - too often intimidates even serious readers. Composed in the years after the sack of Rome in the 5th century, it ushers you on an astounding historical and theological journey through the final years of the ancient world. What makes this book so powerful? And what mysteries lie between its pages?

  • Metaphors of ed tech

    Creator

    Weller, Martin

    Abstract

    The criticisms leveled at online education during the Covid-19 pandemic revealed not only a lack of understanding about how educational technology can be deployed effectively, but a lack of imagination. In this refreshing and insightful volume, Martin Weller provides new ways of thinking about educational technology through a wide range of metaphors. By using metaphors as a mental model, Weller enables educators to move beyond pragmatic concerns into more imaginative and playful uses of technology and to critically examine the appropriate implementation and adoption of ed tech.
