Produktbeschreibung
"Oddly Enough" is a story of an Englishman who emigrated to Australia to 1959 to work as a teacher, and, subsequently, as a psychologist, university professor and researcher, in which capacity he has established an international reputation for his work on how bullying can be countered in schools. This led to his becoming recognized internationally, travelling and lecturing worldwide, and receiving the Order of Australia Medal in 2021. "Oddly Enough" is written as a flow of consciousness of events as they are remembered and reflected upon from childhood to old age. It is meant to amuse, as well as to shed light on significant historical, social, and cultural issues of his time; such as social class; family life; schooling and education; attitudes to authority; Britain in wartime; National Service; emigration; university life; and adapting to the Australian culture. Finally, it addresses existential questions on the nature of self and the sheer oddity of existence.
