 English | 2022 | ISBN: 0226821234 | 277 pages | True EPUB | 5.61 MB A forceful critique of the social science that has ruled-and damaged-the modern world. The practice of economics, as economists will tell you, is a powerful force for good. Economists are the guardians of the world's economies and financial systems. The applications of economic theory can alleviate poverty, reduce disease, and promote sustainability. While this narrative has been successfully propagated by economists, it belies a more challenging truth: economic interventions, including those economists deem successful, also cause harm. Sometimes the harm is manageable and short-lived. But just as often the harm is deep, enduring, and even irreparable. And too often the harm falls on those least able to survive it. In The Tragic Science, George F. DeMartino says what economists have too long repressed: that economists do great harm even as they aspire to do good. Economist-induced harm, DeMartino shows, results in part from economists' "irreparable ignorance"-from the fact that they know far less than they tend to believe they know-and from disciplinary training that treats the human tolls of economic policies and interventions as simply the costs of promoting social betterment. DeMartino details the complicated nature of economic harm, explores economists' frequent failure to recognize it, and makes a sobering case for professional humility and for genuine respect for those who stand to be harmed by economists' practice. At a moment in history when the economics profession holds enormous power, DeMartino's work demonstrates the downside of its influence and the responsibility facing those who practice the tragic science.

As such, it serves as a complementary interface between market activity that is in the best interest of stakeholders and the type of social action that is best for enhancing market activity, the type of social exchange that is best for improving organizational performance, and a sustainability approach to social economic growth. The text explains the resurgence of Western Civilization's foundational principles of value creation and market exchange, and explores why it supersedes classical organization theory. It also discusses value creation theory and the factors that can be applied by researchers and practitioners to improve performance. The book will be of primary benefit to scholars of business management, organizational behavior, corporate social responsibility, organization theory, social entrepreneurship, and social economics.

Formed in 1119 to protect Christian pilgrims to the Holy Land, this curious hybrid of military unit and monastic brotherhood were the staunchest defenders of the Crusader States of Outremer for nearly two centuries. Knights joining the Templars renounced their worldly possessions and vowed to follow a strict code, which included the command to fight the infidel enemy bravely regardless of the odds. They provided Christian armies with a lethal cutting edge in open battle, launching fanatical charges to break the enemy formations, as well as garrisoning a network of forts as a stubborn bulwark against reconquest. Zvonimir Grbasic outlines their history, narrating many of their greatest victories and defeats in detail (such as Montgisard and the Horns of Hattin), describes their organization and hierarchy, training and daily life. These elite warriors, both the knights and the lowlier ranks, are illustrated with the author's beautiful original paintings and drawings."

Arguing that museums must place sustainability at the centre of all their activities, if they are to become key actors with a clear societal role, Garthe considers the issues that museums will likely face as they take on their new roles. Presenting case studies from a wide range of museums around the world, the book considers different ways of implementing sustainability in different types and sizes of institutions. Whilst the book clearly outlines the need for change, it also provides guidance about how to change. Garthe does this by considering specific concepts and approaches to sustainability in relation to the different aspects of museum operations. The book includes a hands-on manual for implementing sustainability management in a museum, whilst also considering the challenges practitioners will encounter and considering what the future of the sustainable museum might look like.

English | 2022 | ISBN: 978-1685073923 | 240 pages | True PDF | 8.2 MB "This book persistently challenges the residual orthodoxies of first-generation neo-Marxism and its fellow travelers in order to lay the foundations of a second-generation neo-Marxist project that also seeks a path beyond Marx's and Marxism's polarization. It is not the young or the old Marx, but the young and old Marx. It is not historical materialism or the philosophy of praxis, but rather historical materialism plus the philosophy of praxis. Essentially, this book seeks unification by reversing the epistemological break fallacy thus bringing in the early works that are demonstrated to be integral to a holistic reading of Marx's episteme, while simultaneously shattering the myth of a seamless continuity in account between the Communist Manifesto and Capital Vol. 1 that opens up the need to rethink the prognosis and unite it with praxis"-- [center]  English | 2022 | ISBN: 1400333873 | 252 pages | True EPUB | 9.02 MB "Readers will be inspired by Gaines' desire to find strength in self-discovery." —Publishers Weekly Joanna Gaines invites us on an authentic and vulnerable journey into her story, a story of doubt and belief, shame and acceptance; a journey from insecurity to self-discovery, and finding truth on the other side of lies.

The importance of tolerance for a diverse, equal, and open society is increasingly recognized by social and behavioural scientists. When people are aware of salient differences and disagree about the value of various viewpoints and ways of life, the question of tolerance arises. Not only in relation to religious, cultural, ideological, and viewpoint differences but also concerning everyday things such as annoying habits of one's partner, the views and behaviour of one's children, disagreements at work, and neighbourhood hassles. Verkuyten uses concrete examples to discuss the various reasons for why tolerance is vital for peaceful communities, especially in our increasingly diverse and polarized world. |
