Explodes the dual myths that working-class adults have inferior learning capacities and that talented youths naturally leave blue-collar careers, and documents the genuine learning practices of working-class people, using accounts of prior school experiences; current adult education course participation; and a wide array of learning resources in paid workplaces, households, and community settings. The authors criticize dominant theories of learning and work and develop an alternative explanation of working-class adult learning.

What is death? What is the ultimate purpose of life? These are questions that have always perplexed humankind. The ancient wisdom on the subject has always been dense, esoteric, and cloaked in secrecy—available to a select few. A spiritual quest can seem like looking for a needle in a haystack because there’s very little literature that puts it all together. But here, at last, is a compact and digestible summary of main ideas. In a completely accessible, highly readable guide to self-realization, author Fassan Ramsaran has created a clear and colorful roadmap of the many paths to truth. Lively, expressive, and reader friendly, Man to God is a digest of Eastern and Judeo-Christian thought that illustrates how different roads can lead to the same place. Man to God is an exploration of man's relationship to his Maker. It asks if there really is a divine Creator and if so, why do people feel so estranged? With answers backed by thoughts from the great spiritual texts, Man to God is a journey that builds momentum with each succeeding chapter, leading to a deep truth that will be a gift and a revelation to its readers.

The liberating promise of big data and social media to create more responsive democracies and workplaces is overshadowed by a nightmare of election meddling, privacy invasion, fake news and an exploitative gig economy. Yet, while regressive forces spread disinformation and hate, 'guerrilla democrats' continue to foster hope and connection through digital technologies. This book offers an in-depth analysis of platform-based radical movements, from the online coalitions of voters and activists to the Deliveroo and Uber strikes. Combining cutting edge theories with empirical research, it makes an invaluable contribution to the emerging literature on the relationship between technology and society.

This groundbreaking book investigates the clash between a desire for unfettered mobility and the prevalence of inequality, exploring how this generates frictions in everyday life and how it challenges the ideal of just cosmopolitanism. Reading fictional and popular cultural texts against real global contexts, it develops an ‘aesthetics of justice’ that does not advocate cosmopolitan mobility at the expense of care and hospitality but rather interrogates their divorce in neoliberal contexts.
