'LOEB IS AN ASTRONOMICAL SHERLOCK HOLMES' Washington Post'A JOY IN CONJECTURE AND AN OMNIVOROUS SPIRIT OF INQUIRY. . . CARL SAGAN WOULD HAVE LIKED THIS BOOK' The TimesIn 2017, Avi Loeb, Chair of Harvard's Astronomy Department, went public with a theory that shook the scientific community - our solar system has been visited by advanced alien technology. His provocative and persuasive argument (and internationally bestselling book Extraterrestrial) has opened thousands of minds to the existence of intelligent life beyond Earth. This book tackles the huge question of what happens next?Long the stuff of science-fiction, here at last is the science fact. From advances in deep space probes to ongoing searches for extraterrestrial technology in our night sky, through the latest heated debates over the existence of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, Interstellar offers a thrilling, front-row view of the technology and the ideas currently preparing us for contact with alien civilizations. Providing the first realistic and practical blueprint for how that might actually occur, Professor Loeb lays out the profound implications of our becoming - or not becoming - an interstellar species. In an urgent, eloquent appeal for more proactive engagement with the outer universe, he powerfully contends why we must seek out other life forms, and in the process, choose who and what we are within the universe.Combining cutting-edge science, physics, and philosophy, Loeb takes us on a mind-bending journey through the furthest reaches of science, space-time, and the human imagination. Interstellar is an eye-opening, necessary look at our future that proves, once again, that scientific curiosity offers the key to our survival.'Loeb is surely correct. . . scientists studying the vastness of the cosmos should entertain risky ideas more often, for the universe is undoubtedly more wild and unexpected than any extremes conjured by the human imagination' Economist'A COMPELLING ARGUMENT FOR A MORE OPEN-MINDED APPROACH TO SCIENCE - A COMBINATION OF HUMILITY AND WONDER' New Statesman

'VISIONARY' Stephen Greenblatt'So interesting... I recommend [Extraterrestrial] to people who have any interest in this extraordinary subject of life existing in other places than on Earth.' William Shatner (from Amazon.com)Harvard's top astronomer takes us inside the mind-blowing story of the first interstellar visitor to our solar systemIn late 2017, scientists at a Hawaiian observatory glimpsed a strange object soaring through our inner solar system. Astrophysicist Avi Loeb conclusively showed it was not an asteroid; it was moving too fast along a strange orbit, and leaving no trail of gas or debris in its wake. There was only one conceivable explanation: the object was a piece of advanced technology created by a distant alien civilization.In Extraterrestrial, Loeb takes readers inside the thrilling story of the first interstellar visitor to be spotted in our solar system. He outlines his theory and its profound implications: for science, for religion, and for the future of our planet. A mind-bending journey through the furthest reaches of science, space-time, and the human imagination, Extraterrestrial challenges readers to aim for the stars-and to think critically about what's out there, no matter how strange it seems.

Hur villkoras ungdomars och vuxnas lärande i olika utbildningssammanhang? Vilka olika omständigheter och förhållanden inverkar på det som sker i pedagogisk verksamhet? Hur möjliggörs och begränsas pedagogisk utveckling? Sådana frågor hör hemma i praktiknära forskning. Samtliga texter i denna bok utgår från en specifik inriktning i sådan forskning – teorin om praktikarkitekturer. Denna teoribildning hjälper oss att analysera och förstå utbildningspraktiker som en del av större, språkliga-kulturella, sociala-politiska och materiella-ekonomiska sammanhang. På så vis förklaras också vad som framstår som möjligt och rimligt att göra i en given situation: vad som sker i detta klassrum, varför förändringsinitiativ går i en viss riktning, eller varför vissa grupper av individer tenderar att exkluderas i ett visst utbildningssammanhang.Boken riktar sig till studenter och forskare intresserade av praktik­nära forskning och praktikteorier men kan också användas av lärare, rektorer och andra pedagogiskt verksamma, exempelvis i kompetensutveckling och för kvalitetsarbete.

Bland annat behandlas frågor om profession och politik, betydelser av marknadstänkande och konkurrens i skolans värld, och innebörden av internationella jämförelser för utbildningspolitiken.

We spend a lot of time arguing about how schools might be improved. But we rarely take a step back to ask what we as a society should be looking for from education what exactly should those who make decisions be trying to achieve? In Educational Goods, two philosophers and two social scientists address this very question. They begin by broadening the language for talking about educational policy: "educational goods" are the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that children develop for their own benefit and that of others; "childhood goods" are the valuable experiences and freedoms that make childhood a distinct phase of life. Balancing those, and understanding that not all of them can be measured through traditional methods, is a key first step. From there, they show how to think clearly about how those goods are distributed and propose a method for combining values and evidence to reach decisions. They conclude by showing the method in action, offering detailed accounts of how it might be applied in school finance, accountability, and choice.The result is a reimagining of our decision making about schools, one that will sharpen our thinking on familiar debates and push us toward better outcomes.
