 The Art of Case Study Research By Robert E. Stake 1995 | 192 Pages | ISBN: 080395767X | PDF | 16 MB This book presents a disciplined, qualitative exploration of case study methods by drawing from naturalistic, holistic, ethnographic, phenomenological and biographic research methods. Robert E. Stake uses and annotates an actual case study to answer such questions as: How is the case selected? How do you select the case which will maximize what can be learned? How can what is learned from one case be applied to another? How can what is learned from a case be interpreted? In addition, the book covers: the differences between quantitative and qualitative approaches; data-gathering including document review; coding, sorting and pattern analysis; the roles of the researcher; triangulation; and reporting.  The Arab Apocalypse By Etel Adnan 2007 | 79 Pages | ISBN: 0942996607 | PDF | 4 MB Poetry. Middle Eastern studies. Translated from the French by the author. Reprinted with a new foreward by Jalal Toufic. "This book, a masterwork of the dislocations and radiant outcries of the Arab world, reaffirms Etel Adnan, who authored the great poem, Jebu, as among the foremost poets of the French Language. THE ARAB APOCALYPSE is an immersion into a rapture of chaos clawing towards destiny, and nullified hope refusing its zero. Is is also the journey of soul through the cartography of a global immediacy rarely registered by maps, replete with signposts like hieroglyphs in a storm of shrapnel and broken glass. And above all it is a book that, though capable of being read in its orderly sequence, has so surrendered to 'being there,' it can rivet the sensibility to the Middle Eastern condition at any point in the text--so rapid are its mutations, so becoming its becomingness--like a wisdom book or a book of Changes"--Jack Hirschman."It has a power and intensity that few poets today can muster-only Allen Ginsberg's Howl comes to mind."-Alice Molloy"The power of Adnan's language and imagery reminds us that she is indeed one of the most significant post-modern poets in contemporary Arab culture."-Kamal Boullatta"THE ARAB APOCALYPSE is, to date, Adnan's most triumphant battle with the exactness of words."-Douglas Powell"The poem invokes a mythic past of Gilgamesh, Tammouz, and Ishtar to presage a present that resists narration, THE ARAB APOCALYPSE contests an uncritical reflection on the immediate historical past."-Barbara Harlow  Chad Smith, "Thank You for Your Service: One Mans Journey Through a Stint in the U.S. Army " English | ISBN: 1543973868 | 2019 | 234 pages | EPUB | 623 KB This book attempts to fill a gap in civilians understanding about what happens when you join the military (specifically the Army). While many books have been written involving combat, few cover topics like day to day life. Its purpose is to educate the reader in a (hopefully) amusing way.

Tetsugaku Companion to Nishida Kitarō by Hisao Matsumaru, Yoko Arisaka, Lucy Christine Schultz English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 255 Pages | ISBN : 3319417835 | 8.4 MB This book offers the first comprehensive collection of essays on the key concepts of Kitaro Nishida (1870-1945), the father of modern Japanese philosophy and founder of the Kyoto School.

They examine the meaning and positioning of Nishida's philosophy in the history of philosophy, as well as in the contemporary world, and discuss the relevance of his philosophy in the present context. The book next looks at the significance of Nishida's philosophy in the wider contexts of science, arts, and religion.  Terrorism, Media, and the Ethics of Fiction: Transatlantic Perspectives on Don DeLillo By Peter Schneck (editor), Philipp Schweighauser (editor) 2010 | 264 Pages | ISBN: 1441139931 | PDF | 3 MB In his novel Mao II, Don DeLillo lets his protagonist say, 'Years ago I used to think it was possible for a novelist to alter the inner life of the culture. Now bomb-makers and gunmen have taken that territory. They make raids on human consciousness.' DeLillo suggests that while the collective imagination of the past was guided by the creative order of narrative fictions, our contemporary fantasies and anxieties are directed by the endless narratives of war and terror relayed by the mass media. To take DeLillo's literary reflections on media, terrorism, and literature seriously means to engage with the ethical implications of his media critique.This book departs from existing works on DeLillo not only through its focus on the function of literature as public discourse in culture, but also in its decidedly transatlantic perspective. Bringing together prominent DeLillo scholars in Europe and in the US, it is the first critical book on DeLillo to position his work in a transatlantic context.

Technology and Industrial Progress: The Foundations of Economic Growth By G. N. Von Tunzelmann, G.N. Von Tunzelmann 1995 | 560 Pages | ISBN: 1858981743 | PDF | 21 MB What has dictated the rate and direction of technological change? How central has it been to industrial progress? How has it related to other determinants of economic growth and development?In Technology and Industrial Progress, Nick von Tunzelmann examines theoretical views on the nature and contribution of technology, and the empirical evidence from the major industrializing countries from the eighteenth century to the present day. The experiences of countries regarded in their time as the leaders of industrialization - Britain in the eighteenth century, the United States in the nineteenth century and Japan in the twentieth century - are critically compared by the author. The following chapters study the transfer of each of these patterns of technology and growth to later industrializers, such as continental Europe, the Soviet Union, and today's newly industrializing countries. Adopting approaches drawn from evolutionary economics, Dr von Tunzelmann links micro-level phenomena relating to individual firms and technologies to macro-level outcomes as reflected in economic growth and development.This long-awaited book is exceptional both in the range of countries surveyed and the breadth of topics analysed, encompassing changes in production processes, products and marketing, management and finance. |
