Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Chock Full of Nuts is a raw, unflinching memoir that explores the enduring flaws in the institutional treatment of mental health, tracing its stagnation from the shocking practices depicted in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest to the present day.With firsthand experience in what he darkly dubs 'summer camp,' a euphemism for a modern-day asylum, JaKob Williams recounts harrowing episodes of institutional care, reflecting on the controversial methods still in use today. From grappling with electroconvulsive shock therapy to navigating the labyrinth of mental health care, he exposes a system resistant to progress, while offering hope to those who feel different, broken, or lost.Chock Full of Nuts is more than a critique; it is a testament to resilience. Williams shares extraordinary personal experiences: a near-death fall on Mount Fuji that led to a life-altering promise, daring adventures as a competitive runner and climber, and his transformation into a celebrated yet unconventional artist.Through humor, grit, and an unwavering commitment to being 'different,' this memoir delivers an inspiring call to embrace individuality. It challenges society's perception of mental differences, proving that what makes us unique can also make us extraordinary. A riveting blend of personal confession, societal critique, and a dash of rebellious wit, Chock Full of Nuts is a story for anyone ready to stand up when the world tells them to sit down.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book examines the transformative power and the limitations of one of Europe's most significant university reforms from an ethnographic and historical perspective. It incorporates voices positioned across university and policy-making hierarchies in its analysis of how Danish universities have been transformed. To do this, the book continually juxtaposes two meanings of 'enactment': a top-down view based on laws and institutional power, and a bottom-up view of multiple actors shaping their institution in day-to-day life and in actively contested changes. By conceiving of the university as 'enacted' in both ways at once, the book explores how and why the university comes to be imagined and instantiated in new ways. The book traces the arguments for reform through a two-decade long, dynamic struggle between international forums and national industrial, political and academic interests over the definition of the university. It discusses which ideas finally became dominant and how this happened. It looks at government reforms from 2003 onwards, and, by means of notable 'telling moments', explains how the governance and management of the university were transformed. It examines how academics found room to manoeuvre between contesting discourses that affect their identity and work. Finally, it shows how students engaged with new versions of historical debates about their participation in shaping their own education, their institution and society.…
