Impact and engagement. These words pump through our universities. But what do them mean?

An absolutely outstanding book. The best book I have read this year by a wide margin. Carrie Westwater provides a strong theoretical framework for non-selective curation, including deep engagement with bell hooks. But this book is also highly practical ...more |

Curation Nation: How to Win in a World Where Consumers are Creators
by Steven Rosenbaum (Goodreads Author) |
|
|
It is significant to note that the high profile supporters of this book describe it as a guide to the 'Brave New World.' Without irony. Without understanding its origins. Or its context. This is a book that minimizes and marginalizes the theft or 'borr ...more |

If zero stars were possible - then this 'book' would receive it. No author names are attached to this book. That's how dreadful it is. There are no actual paragraphs in this book - just random bullet points about taking other people's 'content' (that i ...more |

Absolute rubbish. A book of social media filler images. A book - or really, a 'book' - that confuses content curation with information literacy. This book explains why entrepreneurs should never replace librarians. More of a slapped up scrapbook. Not a ...more |

Non-Obvious: How to Think Different, Curate Ideas & Predict The Future
by Rohit Bhargava (Goodreads Author) |
|
|
Dear me. One of the futurists whose interpretation was absolutely and completely wrong. Yes we see a chapter on the 'growth mindset.' Other basic 'research' follows. Mostly from Google. But - wow - you write a book on predicting the future - and you get ...more |

Dear me. The book is as dodgy as the title suggests. We have a bloke talking about how to be popular online, and how to monetize that popularity. Just what we need. A guy valuing content over context, and hyper-personal information rather than researc ...more |

Yes, it is always a mistake to add an exclamation mark to a title. Yes it is! It looks really silly! Because it is! And the book that follows verifies this strange title. It is a book that 'teaches' people to take the content of others - add a bit of per ...more |

As we expect from Bloomsbury readers, this is an elegant collection. It is curated with already published chapters, essays and interviews on the haunting. There is a trajectory through this collection of both Derrida and Freud, but in the final third, ...more |

| Hauntology is an ideal topic for a Palgrave Pivot. It is a solid engagement with the trope. The introduction is strong, with the only challenging being the use of heavy quotations without deep and innovative interpretation. That is always the challen ...more | |

I hoped this book would be better. Too much Jung. Waaaaaaay too much Jung... And strange discussions about synchronicity. When weird things happen - it must be a ghost... Rather than random stuff... That happens ... Randomly... It is unclear whether thes ...more |
