Softcover/Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. One Swiss who became a good Australian while retaining a strong love of his country was Henry Alexis Tardent who established a family in Queensland in 1887. Tardent was intensely active in politics, agriculture, and literary activities. He acted as an adviser in the early 1890s to the drafters of the Constitution. In 1898 he became a friend and supporter of Andrew 5 who was the first Australian Labor Prime Minister. Around 1911 he helped the Government prepare the Act to establish a Citizen Defense Force. - Gough Whitlam (1975)Australian governments there was renewed interest in the 'story of Henry Tardent'. In her 1989 book The Swiss in Australia Wegman noted that Tardent "became the most influential Swiss settler in Australia due to his involvement in moulding the Commonwealth's constitution". Also lauded in 'ALP legends' (as reported by Whitlam in 1975), the problem is that no-one has previously gone to the trouble of detailing or more adequately explaining Tardent's contributions to his adopted homeland. So. to correct some newly arising 'misconceptions', we investigated Tardent's 'untold story' in depth - an inquiry focused on a request from the Swiss Alliance Australia to look at the question of Tardent's 'contributions to the drafting of a Swiss-influenced Australian Constitution' (and related 'model of democracy'). Our fascinating account here further documents the alignment of the Tardent story to the historical challenge of the modern Australian Society to overcome its enduring 'colonial cultural cringe' - including in and beyond the 1975 Constitutional Crisis and the 1999 Republic referendum result. This book describes and discusses some particularly relevant details and contexts of how Henry A. Tardent's initial and further ongoing advice to Sir Samuel Griffith and his concerned 'Qld group' (especially re: both the referendum and double majority rule 'democracy safeguards') was generally embraced in the 1891 Constitutional Convention. This was then developed and refined in further drafts (especially the draft presented to the 1897 Convention), before being the focus of successful 1890s State referendums prior to the 1901 Federation enactment. Tardent was perhaps effectively a 'founding father' also of some important related imperatives up to the end of his life - including both Australian cultural nationalism and multiculturalism simultaneously. And he was a significant pivotal contributor himself (as well as adviser also to such influential early figures as Andrew Fisher and Ted Theodore) in the foundational emergence of the Australian Labor Party. We further explore how and why Henry A. Tardent's story is perhaps more important today than ever before. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 268.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Rethinking the University: From 'Publish or Perish' to 'Optimal knowledge-building' What is a university for Is it simply a place for producing qualifications, publications, data, and information-or should it be something more: a place where people learn to think deeply, ask meaningful questions, solve important problems, and create knowledge that matters This book challenges some of the assumptions and practices shaping the modern university and offers a practical pathway towards recovering its deeper purpose as a place of higher learning. At the centre of the argument is a growing tension within academia: the pressure to 'publish or perish.' When academic success becomes increasingly measured by the number of publications, citations, grants, qualifications, or other outputs, the pursuit of knowledge can risk becoming a numbers game-encouraging shortcuts but regularly discouraging more productive outcomes whilst also too often ignoring 'real quality' standards of genuine understanding, originality, and relevance. But there is another way. Drawing on the Socratic tradition of inquiry, this book presents an approach to optimal knowledge-building based on asking meaningful questions, identifying significant problems, and following a sustained 'thread of inquiry.' It introduces an 'emergent method' of thinking and writing designed to help transform data and information into knowledge that can be understood, applied, transferred, and built upon. At its heart is the relationship between words and ideas-between language and thought-and the role this relationship plays in developing genuine deep learning. The approach has particular relevance to research-based academic writing, where students and scholars can easily become overwhelmed by information, lose sight of their central question, or struggle to turn what they have read into something they genuinely understand and can contribute. This book explores the four key ways and stages in which scholars and students can 'lose their way'-and offers a practical framework for finding their way back. For academics, researchers, postgraduate students, and anyone concerned about the future of higher education, this is an invitation to rethink what it means to learn, research, write, and build knowledge. Because the future of the university depends not simply on how much knowledge we produce-but on how well we understand it, how meaningfully we use it, and what new knowledge we are capable of creating.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book explores powerful, important and new (as well as 'long-lost') insights into the experiential learning, problem-solving and general knowledge-building purposes of the human lifecycle as the natural foundation of 'optimal lifelong learning'. In traditional societies of the past the various key stages of the human lifecycle were widely recognized and celebrated. The progression of childhood, youth, mature adulthood and old age were likened in many cultures to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter - the backdrop for the various tales of the great heroic adventure of life and its related 'nurturing' purposes. It's not just modern society but also its various educational and cultural systems that have arguably ignored, repressed and generally demoralized what has long been the greatest resource of humanity - the capacity to transform human experience into relevant knowledge. We investigate here how the lost and hidden (or rather 'forgotten') collective as well as individual 'reservoirs of direct human experience' can yet again be harnessed to sustainably transform collective as well as personal futures. As well as the ageing process, this book also addresses some of the biggest challenges to (as well as deepest mysteries about) life and human nature. But more than this, it further indicates how the human lifecycle is a natural antidote to demoralized modern society, digital illusions of experience, and the future misuse of artificial intelligence.…

Softcover/Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. This book is a treasure trove of particular 'recovered' ancestral memories and family histories. Others can also access the 'treasure troves' of their own ancestral histories. Therefore the practical examples of this book (and the methods used in it) can help inspire similar explorations. Ancestral trees are always more interesting and relevant when grounded both in family histories and also wider (i.e. local, national or even global) historical contexts. This is especially so when investigating specific mysteries of 'lost, forgotten or simply omitted' ancestral memories. The essays here are those explorations by the author Cameron Richards of his own ancestral tree (back beyond 1830 in every line) that were particularly fascinating, and yet also addressed specific mysteries of wider general interest. Each one provides some 'window' into not just early Colonial Australian history (and beyond) but the backgrounds of the diverse influx of migrants coming to Australia and leaving Europe (in particular) for 'the new world' in the 19th Century. In this way they are exemplary of the typical challenges, search options, and potential rewards in these kinds of genealogical and related family history investigations, adventures, and explorations of the gaps in our existing knowledge.

Gebundene Ausgabe. Zustand: Neu. A new/old, comprehensive, and relevant framework of lifelong education and learning for the remaining 21st Century. A recent groundbreaking study (Nature, 2025) generally confirmed the insights of tradition (i.e. 'the four stages of life' from child to mature adulthood) that as people age the brain as well as human lifecycle undergoes universal basic stages of transformation. This all gives weight to two key arguments of this book. One is that human learning is a lifelong process grounded primarily in actual experience refinable by further thinking framed by particular social contexts (i.e. 'the eight pillars of lifelong education' embracing also adult education and later life learning). And the other is that the cross-cultural experience of human ageing remains an invaluable resource for future human sustainability. But like the 'systems thinking' of many indigenous knowledge systems (with their respect for 'tribal elders' and natural cycles, etc.), the general loss of value for the experience and tacit knowledge of older people has arguably been a key yet reversible factor in the general demoralization of modern society and education. In this way changing cultural systems have ignored and repressed what has always defined the human potential - the capacity to transform experience into relevant knowledge. We investigate here how the lost and hidden (or rather 'forgotten') collective as well as individual 'reservoirs of direct experience' (and the Axial Age traditions of 'inner wisdom') can yet again be harnessed to sustainably transform collective as well as personal futures. This book also addresses some of the biggest challenges to (and deepest mysteries about) life and human nature. It does so to the extent that the human lifecycle might be approached as a natural antidote also to demoralized modern society, digital illusions of experience, and the future misuse of AI.
