Sobre IBD

Performance-Based Funding in Higher Education examines the aims of higher education policies over the past thirty years. This book addresses how job creation and increased graduation rates has distracted educators, students, and surrounding communities from an educator’s traditional and valued role as the promoter of democracy and critical citizenship.

  • The Last Number and Other Stories
    Angelo Letizia
    Infinity, progress, the irrational, and loneliness.

    This book is about failure. But not a personal failure. It is about failure in an existential sense. What does it mean for a people or a society to fail? And if a society does fail, how long does it take? Do its people know they are failing? Did the Romans know they were in decline? What actually constitutes a failure? In a wider sense, this might sound like end times or end of...

    Trees, human beings, all of life is locked in a battle with entropy, with death and eventual chaos. Thus, I have aptly titled my book 'The Battle for Existence.' I trace the beginnings of the universe through history until the present day. I do not simply echo creation stories or slightly revise them.
