 Why We Are Losing the War on Gun Violence in the United States by Marie Crandall English | PDF | 2021 | 292 Pages | ISBN : 3030555127 | 4.7 MB This edited collection of data and perspectives takes a fresh approach to gun violence prevention by addressing the question, "why are we losing the war on gun violence in America?" Although successes and failures in the prevention of gun violence are examined, it is a war we are losing, due to restrictions on research funding, entrenched historical perspectives, structural violence, and perhaps differing priorities or views on what is right or wrong.  Why Our Great Leader was Not So Great and Not Much of a Leader by Neil Humphreys English | 2020 | ISBN: 9811427046 | 32 pages | EPUB | 1.31 Mb For many Singaporeans, Sir Stamford Raffles was Great Leader and White Saviour all rolled into one. The one man, one country narrative allowed a simplistic telling of a complex tale concerning Singapore's birth to take root. But Raffles was a deeply flawed man.  Why Medieval Philosophy Matters (Why Philosophy Matters) by Stephen Boulter 2019 | ISBN: 1350094153, 1350094161 | English | 216 pages | EPUB | 0.6 MB Tackling the question of why medieval philosophy matters in the current age, Stephen Boulter issues a passionate and robust defence of this school in the history of ideas. He examines both familiar territory and neglected texts and thinkers whilst also asking the question of why, exactly, this matters or should matter to how we think now.  Nathan Holmes, "Welcome to Fear City: Crime Film, Crisis, and the Urban Imagination" English | 2019 | ISBN: 1438471203, 1438471211 | 244 pages | PDF | 4.41 MB 2019 CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title  Web Development and Design Foundations with HTML5, Global Edition by Terry Felke-Morris English | 2017 | ISBN: 1292164077 | 714 Pages | PDF | 27 MB  Chris Hedges, "War Is a Force that Gives Us Meaning" English | 2014 | ISBN: 1610393597 | 224 pages | EPUB | 1 MB General George S. Patton famously said, "Compared to war all other forms of human endeavor shrink to insignificance. God, I do love it so!" Though Patton was a notoriously single-minded general, it is nonetheless a sad fact that war gives meaning to many lives, a fact with which we have become familiar now that America is once again engaged in a military conflict. War is an enticing elixir. It gives us purpose, resolve, a cause. It allows us to be noble.  Еkaterina Zavershneva, René van der Veer, "Vygotsky's Notebooks: A Selection" English | 2018 | pages: 533 | ISBN: 9811046239 | PDF | 8,8 mb This book consists of previously unpublished manuscripts by Vygotsky found in the first systematic study of Vygotsky's family archive. The notebooks and scientific diaries gathered in this volume represent all periods of Vygotsky's scientific life, beginning with the earliest manuscript, entitled The tragicomedy of strivings (1912), and ending with his last note, entitled Pro domo sua (1934), written shortly before his death. The notes reveal unknown aspects of the eminent psychologist's personality, show his aspirations and interests, and allow us to gain insights into the development of his thinking and its internal dynamics. Several texts reflect the plans that Vygotsky was unable to realize during his lifetime, such as the creation of a theory of emotions and a theory of consciousness, others reveal Vygotsky's involvement in activities that were previously unknown, and still others provide outlines of papers and lectures. The notes are presented in chronological order, preceded by brief introductions and accompanied by an extensive set of notes. The result is a book that allows us to obtain a much deeper understanding of Vygotsky's innovative ideas.
