Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book aims to help students struggling with the transition from school or work to university. It explains how to enjoy university study, and how to transform even the difficult times into positive learning experiences. Most importantly it shows how enjoying the learning process leads to better results. \nWith a Foreword by Professor Craig McInnis (University of Melbourne) and Professor Adrian Lee (University of New South Wales). In their words: \n"The key feature of The First Year Experience is not that is based on the experience of the authors alone, who have a long and successful record of teaching first year students well, but that it incorporates the view of real, living students at a large and sometimes bewildering university. We hear of their hopes, their disappointments, their moments of enlightenment and above all some of the approaches they have successfully negotiated to succeed in, overcome and enjoy their university experience."\n Aims to help students struggling with the transition from school or work to university. This book explains how to enjoy university study, and how to transform even the difficult times into positive learning experiences. It shows how enjoying the learning process leads to better results.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This remarkable book takes a fresh look at life as a process, not an end, encouraging readers to look for the meaning of life not in terms of achievement or others' opinions, but in the everyday joys of living. \nFrom the Preface .\nIt is easy to become attached to goals. Goals promise certainty, and the anxiety they induce only makes their achievement seem more meritorious. The trouble is that goals, even worthy ones, remove our sense of proportion and our sensitivity to what is happening around us. \nIt sometimes takes a fall to bring us back into the present. 'Where have I been? What have I been doing all my life?' We awaken to the world as if for the first time. \nWe have written this book out of an increasing sense of the importance of these moments. Once you recognise life as a gift rather than an achievement, you realise that 'meaning in life' is found only in the vitality of the social relations in which we participate.\n This remarkable book takes a fresh look at life as a process, not an end, encouraging readers to look for the meaning of life not in terms of achievement or others' opinions, but in the everyday joys of living.

First Edition
Soft cover. Condition: Good+. 1st Edition. Crease on front cover. Notations to a few pg only. A sturdy copy. *Passionate Sociology* by Ann Game is a unique and insightful exploration of sociology through an emotional and relational lens. Rather than adhering to the traditional, detached approach often seen in the field, Game emphasizes the importance of passion, feelings, and interpersonal dynamics in social interactions and structures. She critiques the conventional boundaries between the personal and the social, offering a view that social life is deeply interwoven with emotion. By doing so, Game invites readers to rethink the discipline of sociology, making room for a more connected, compassionate understanding of society. Book.
