Free (DRM-free) Politik [Danish Academic Political Psychology Essay w/Audiobook]

[ATDrake]

Politik by Michael Bang Petersen is a Danish-language essay in the Tænkepause series ("Reflections", in the English-language translations of selected previous installments) of 60-page themed short works meant to showcase particular academic ideas and concepts in an easily-digestible manner (meant to take up 60 minutes of your reading time), this one focusing on some form of political psychology, free courtesy of the Aarhus University Press in Denmark.

Apparently since the recent website redesign, they now make one of these free every month (available in dual ebook and audiobook format), independent of their long-running Free Book of the Month program, which has provided us with many nifty academic titles.

This one seems to have been the November selection, and will probably remain free until the planned December release rotation is up.

Currently free, likely just until December 7th, Danish time, directly @ the university press' catalogue page (DRM-free ePub/PDF & MP3 audiobook download available worldwide; scroll down to where it says "Om bogen" and expand the section if necessary for the link to get the MP3).

And this has been the (late!) selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day.

Because not only has the Aarhus University Press been generously giving us a bilingual set of monthly freebie books, they've now also added a very nifty extra freebie, which includes not just a short meant-to-be-accessible edutaining work, but also an audio reading of it, perfect for aspiring Danish language learners looking for materials where they can match up the text to the sounds, which alone would be reason to , but they're also going to be making it a regular monthly giveaway as well.

I will remind you that if you've been enjoying their academic giveaways, they sell their entire catalogue of PDF academic ebooks directly at a Buy 2 Get 1 Free discount which is available worldwide (and every print purchase of one of their books includes the ebook for free as well if available and is also eligible for B2G1F), and have many respected English-language titles under their imprint, especially in the history and archaeology departments.

Enjoy!

Beskrivelse på dansk
Man har et standpunkt, til ... ja, tak, den kender vi. Politikere skifter holdning, som vinden blæser. Men er vi selv meget bedre? Ikke ifølge Michael Bang Petersen, politisk psykolog ved Aarhus Universitet. For vores hjerne er ikke bygget til nutidens komplekse finansforhandlinger og paragraf 20-spørgsmål. Den tænker politik, som da vi levede i små grupper på den østafrikanske savanne for tusindvis af år siden. Så den skifter holdning på baggrund af sukker, muskler og hormoner frem for logiske argumenter. - Måske er der en god forklaring på vejrhanernes ustadige opførsel?
