Interculturality in Institutions: Symbols, Practices and Identities English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031126254 | 308 Pages | PDF (True) | 7 MB This book provides qualitative analyses of intercultural sense making in a variety of institutional contexts. Itrelies onthe assumption that in an increasingly culturally diverse world, individuals often enter contexts that havecommunal, historically determined and stable sets of values, norms and expected identities, with little cultural compass to find their bearings in them. The book goes beyond interpreting differences in people's ethnic orlinguistic roots and discusses instead people's interpretive efforts to navigate different sociocultural situations. The contributors examine such situations in educational, organizational, medical and community settings andlook at how participants with different levels of sociocultural competences(such as, migrant patients, migrant adult learners, children)try to cope with institutional constraints and expectations, how they understandsymbols, practices and identities in institutional contexts, and how their creative adjustments come to light.

Infinite Loop: How Apple, the World's Most Insanely Great Computer Company, Went Insane By Michael S. Malone 1999 | 597 Pages | ISBN: 0385486847 | PDF | 140 MB The inside story of how one of America's most beloved companies - Apple Computer - took off like a high-tech rocket-only to come crashing to Earth twenty years later. How did Apple lose its way? Why did the world still care so deeply about a company that had lost its leadership position? Michael S. Malone, from the unique vantage point of having grown up with the company's founders, and having covered Apple and Silicon Valley for years, sets out to tell the gripping behind-the-scenes story - a story that is even zanier than the business world thought. In essence, Malone claims, with only a couple of incredible inventions (the Apple II and Macintosh), and backed by an arrogance matched only by its corporate ineptitude, Apple managed to create a multibillion-dollar house of cards. And, like a faulty program repeating itself in an infinite loop, Apple could never learn from its mistakes. The miracle was not that Apple went into free fall, but that it held up for so long. Within the pages of Infinite Loop, we discover a bruising portrait of the megalomaniacal Steve Jobs and an incompetent John Sculley, as well as the kind of political backstabbings, stupid mistakes, and overweening egos more typical of a soap opera than a corporate history. Infertility in Medieval and Early Modern Europe: Premodern Views on Childlessness English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031089766 | 258 Pages | PDF (True) | 4.2 MB This book examines discourses around infertility and views of childlessness in medieval and early modern Europe. Whereas in our own time reproductive behaviour is regulated by demographic policy in the interest of upholding the intergenerational contract, premodern rulers strove to secure the succession to their thrones and preserve family heritage. Regardless of status, infertility could have drastic consequences, above all for women, and lead to social discrimination, expulsion, and divorce. Johan Gersel, Rasmus Thybo Jensen, Morten S. Thaning, "In the Light of Experience: New Essays on Perception and Reasons" English | 2018 | pages: 295 | ISBN: 0198809638 | PDF | 1,7 mb How does the idea that perception must provide reasons for our empirical judgements constrain our conception of our perceptual experiences? This volume presents eleven new essays on perception which in different ways address this fundamental question. Charles Travis and John McDowell debate whether we need to ascribe content to experience in order to understand how it can provide the subject with reasons. Other essays address issues such as the following: What exactly is the Myth of the Given and why should it be worthwhile to try to avoid it? What constitutes our experiential reasons? Is it experiences themselves, the objects of experiences, or facts about our experiences? Should we conceive of experiential reasons as conclusive reasons? How should we conceive of the fallibility of our perceptual capacities if we think of experiences as capable of providing conclusive reasons? How should we conceive of the objects of experience?
