Tara Brabazon gave to: Lowering Higher Education: The Rise of Corporate Universities and the Fall of Liberal Education by James E. Côté	My rating:
This is a sigh of a book. My last sentence is not a critique. The book actually provides a deep, expansive reality check on the state of the current university system. There is a discussion of grade inflation, massification and the impact of educatio...more

Tara Brabazon gave to: The Fall of the Faculty: The Rise of the All-Administrative University and Why It Matters by Benjamin Ginsberg	My rating:
I absolutely adore this book. I read it. Turned to the front of the book. Read it again. Ginsberg hits full attack mode in questioning what has happened to our universities since the administrators took over the institution. He supplies the quantitat...more

Tara Brabazon gave to: Moodle 2.0 E Learning Course Development by William Rice read in April, 2012	My rating:
Moving to Moodle after working with Blackboard and WebCT since 1997 is somewhat of a relief. However it is important to recognize the strengths and weaknesses of each learning management system. William Rice has offered a clear and helpful guide for...more

Tara Brabazon gave to: Small Cities: Urban Experience Beyond the Metropolis by David Bell read in April, 2012	My rating:
I have enjoyed David Bell's and Mark Jayne's research and writing throughout my career. This fine edited collection is able to 'hold together,' even while recognizing the disparate nature of the case studies. This unity is of great tribute to the edi...more

Tara Brabazon gave to: All Business Is Local: Why Place Matters More Than Ever in a Global, Virtual World by John Quelch read in April, 2012	My rating:
This book is amazing. It will transform how I teach creative industries and how I write and research about social media. It is not a marketing guide - a 'how to' for business. Instead, it move Richard Florida's often reified slogans, maxims and trope...more

Tara Brabazon gave to: The Shape of the City: Toronto Struggles with Modern Planning by John Sewell read in April, 2012	My rating:
This book is fine, if dated. Sewell confirms the truth that cities are always in a state of becoming. The goal is to create 'better' cities. Sewell presents a history of the modern planning movement and how it emerged and spread throughout Canada. Ho...more

Tara Brabazon gave to: Global Downtowns by Marina Peterson read in April, 2012	My rating:
This is a fine book. The introduction, by Gary McDonogh and Marina Peterson, is worth the purchase of the text. The first chapter - "Towards a genealology of downtowns" by Robert Rotenberg - is similarly outstanding. The rest of the chapters are case...more

Tara Brabazon gave to: Global Complexity by John Urry read in April, 2012	My rating:
This is a special book, one of the few that changed media/communication and cultural studies. Exploring the popular metaphor of the time - 'flow' - Urry offers an incisive, complex and convincing exploration of the relationship between local, regiona...more
