  • Made in Britain: How the Nation Earns Its living

    "The UK's Income Explained!"

    Overall
    Performance
    Story

    It is a question often asked in a conversation, and then everyone starts to moan that "we don't make anything anymore". The book blows this myth to smithereens by showing what we do make and how well our products are received globally; however it is balanced with what we don't make, and why we don't make those things any more.

    The UK's economics and our societies' culture (and to a certain extent its psychology) are examined, indicating why we have a trade deficit and prefer offices to manufacturing.

    I'm abbreviating heavily here. This book deserves much more of your time and attention. Evan Davis narrates himself, and I've always found programs or documentaries of his on TV engaging, entertaining and easy to understand. He brings all this to the book; if you're a fan of his style, you'll love the book.

    This was one of those audiobooks I didn't want to end.

    Looking at how Britain pays its way in the world today. Like Andrew Marr's History of Modern Britain or Michael Palin's Himalaya, the book will have a coherence and life beyond the television series, looking at some issues in greater depth, and telling additional stories to illustrate some of the ideas. This book is about the things that Britain produces in order to pay its way in the world, from physical goods that we can see and feel, to intangible services that are much harder to quantify.

    This book builds on a simple premise: good teaching cannot be reduced to technique but is rooted in the identity and integrity of the teacher. Good teaching takes myriad forms but good teachers share one trait: they are authentically present in the classroom, in community with their students and their subject. They possess "a capacity for connectedness" and are able to weave a complex web of connections between themselves, their subjects, and their students, helping their students weave a world for themselves.

    Is the Greek alphabet all Greek to you? Is geometry your Achilles heel and does your knowledge of Homer have more to do with The Simpsons than the Sirens? From engineering and architecture to drama and democracy, the world around us is founded on the principles and discoveries of the Ancient World, yet our understanding of it is episodic at best. But it's never too late to learn....

    Media, Markets, and Morals provides an original ethical framework designed specifically for evaluating ethical issues in the media, including new media. The authors apply their account of the moral role of the media, in their dual capacity as information providers for the public good and as businesses run for profit, to specific morally problematic practices and question how ethical behavior can be promoted within the industry.
