Benjamin Hawk - Merirosvon oppipoika, E-bok
On vuosi 1692 ja Benjamin Hawk tuntee pitkästyvänsä kuoliaaksi ankaran setänsä suutarinverstaassa. Isoisän salaperäiset tarinat maailman meriltä alkavat kiehtoa Benjaminia enemmän kuin pikilangan ompelu kuluneisiin kenkiin. Portsmouthista purjehtii laiva jos toinenkin kohti seikkailuja, joissa Benjamin haluaa olla mukana. Vaikka äiti varoittaa Benjaminia, että meri vie vielä pojan kuten vei tämän isän, Benjamin karkaa merille isoisän avulla. Tuttu Willy opettaa ystävänsä laivan - joskus karskeillekin - tavoille. Matkalla Benjaminille selviää, etteivät isoisä sen paremmin kuin isäkään olleet aikoinaan ihan tavallisia kauppamiehiä.Vapaat tuulet vievät Benjaminin hurjaan seikkailuun Port Royalin vesille, jossa jokainen etsii onneaan keinoja kaihtamatta. Uusien ystäviensä avulla Benjamin ei aio jää toiseksi. Jos tahtoo rikastua, pitää katsoa ahterin sijaan kokkaa kohti!

Walter Benjamin's Antifascist Education
A comprehensive study of education in the writings of Walter Benjamin. Walter Benjamin's Antifascist Education is the first comprehensive analysis of educational themes across the entirety of the critical theorist's diverse writings. Starting with Benjamin's early reflections on teaching and learning, Tyson E. Lewis argues that the aesthetic and cultural forms to which Benjamin so often turned-namely, radio broadcasts, children's theatrical productions, collections, cityscapes, public cinemas, and word games-swell with educational potentialities. What emerges from Lewis's reading is a constellational curriculum composed of minor practices such as poor teaching, absentminded learning, and nondurational studying. This curriculum carries political significance, offering an antidote to past and present forms of fascist manipulation, hardness, and coldness. Walter Benjamin's Antifascist Education is a testimony to Benjamin's belief that 'everyone is an educator and everyone needs to be
