 Training to Change Practice by Hart, Jo;Byrne-Davis, Lucie;Maltinsky, Wendy;Bull, Eleanor; English | 2023 | ISBN: 1119833485 | 130 pages | True PDF | 13.52 MB  Andreas Markantonatos, "Tragic Narrative: A Narratological Study of Sophocles' Oedipus at Colonus" English | 2002 | pages: 310 | ISBN: 3110174014 | PDF | 4,4 mb This study of Sophocles' Oedipus at Colonus demonstrates the applicability of narrative models to drama. It presents a major contribution not only to Sophoclean criticism but to dramatic criticism as a whole. For the first time, the methods of contemporary narrative theory are thoroughly applied to the text of a single major play. Sophocles' Oedipus at Colonus is presented as a uniquely rich text, which deftly uses the figure and history of the blind Oedipus to explore and thematize some of the basic narratological concerns of Greek tragedy: the relation between the narrow here-and-now of visible stage action and the many off-stage worlds that have to be mediated into it through narrative, including the past, the future, other dramatizations of the myth, and the world of the fifth-century audience.  Trade, Competition and Domestic Regulatory Policy: Trade Liberalisation, Competitive Markets and Property Rights Protection English | 2023 | ISBN: 0367339889 | 501 Pages | PDF (True) | 8 MB  Toxic Organizational Cultures and Leadership: How to Build and Sustain a Healthy Workplace English | 2023 | ISBN: 103236131X | 279 Pages | PDF (True) | 1.5 MB Toxic organizational cultures and leadership have led to major reputational failures, with the greatest impact felt by the people who dedicate their careers to working for these organizations. And yet organizations do not become toxic overnight. They do not consciously set out to break rules and regulations, nor do they actively seek wrongdoing. This book defines toxic culture, explains how toxic cultures emerge over time, and provides practical approaches supported by in-depth research for overcoming a toxic culture at the individual, team, and organizational level.  Mark Devenney, "Towards an Improper Politics" English | ISBN: 1474454046 | 2021 | 224 pages | PDF | 573 KB This book systematically introduces the idea of an improper politics. Introducing a conceptual vocabulary, it engages with the politics of the proper, propriety and property from a post-foundational perspective. Mark Devenney argues that this triad is central to understanding the maintenance of global inequality, both economic and political. He characterises democratic politics as improper, challenging the proper bounds of reason, accepted behaviours, and the policing of proper order. The conceptualisation of democracy as an improper practice of equality accords a dignity to forms of politics often deemed marginal.  Towards a Unified Italy: Historical, Cultural, and Literary Perspectives on the Southern Question By Salvatore Dimaria 2019 | 280 Pages | ISBN: 3030080943 | PDF | 3 MB Since unification in 1860, Italy has remained bitterly divided between the rich North and the underdeveloped South. This book examines the historical, literary, and cultural contexts that have informed and inflamed the debate on the Southern Question for over a century. It brings together analysis of cinema, literature, and newspaper archives to reconsider the myths and stereotypes that both Northerners and Southerners deploy in their narratives. Salvatore DiMaria offers a masterful assessment of the entangled issues that have produced the South's image as impoverished and backwards, such as organized crime, illiteracy, and mass emigration. Documenting the state's largely failed efforts to bring the South into its socio-economic fold, DiMaria also points to the future, arguing that the European Union and globalization are transformative forces that may finally produce a unified Italy.  Karen Blumenthal, "Tommy: The Gun That Changed America" English | 2015 | ISBN: 1626720843 | EPUB | pages: 240 | 13.9 mb John Taliaferro Thompson had a mission: to develop a lightweight, fast-firing weapon that would help Americans win on the battlefield. His Thompson submachine gun could deliver a hundred bullets in a matter of seconds―but didn't find a market in the U.S. military. Instead, the Tommy gun became the weapon of choice for a generation of bootleggers and bank-robbing outlaws, and became a deadly American icon. Following a bloody decade―and eighty years before the mass shootings of our own time―Congress moved to take this weapon off the streets, igniting a national debate about gun control. Critically-acclaimed author Karen Blumenthal tells the fascinating story of this famous and deadly weapon―of the lives it changed, the debate it sparked, and the unprecedented response it inspired.  Harriet Fish Backus, "Tomboy Bride, 50th Anniversary Edition: One Woman's Personal Account of Life in Mining Camps of the West" English | ISBN: 151326205X | 2019 | 288 pages | EPUB | 9 MB A Colorado favorite, Tomboy Bride presents the first-hand account of a young pioneer woman and her life in a rough and tumble mining town of the Old West.  Tolkien's Library: An Annotated Checklist: Revised and Expanded, 2nd Edition by Oronzo Cilli English | January 31st, 2023 | ISBN: 1913387771, 1913387763 | 560 pages | True EPUB | 13.29 MB "A combination of circumstances means that we know more about J.R.R. Tolkien than about almost any other author, from any period. Nevertheless, in spite of all the efforts, there remains a certain opacity about Tolkien, both professionally and personally.  Tobacco in History: The Cultures of Dependence by Jordan Goodman English | August 4th, 2005 | ISBN: 1138171948, 0415116694 | 288 pages | True PDF | 3.88 MB Jordan Goodman explores the historical transformation of tobacco from Amerindian shamanism to global capitalism, from the food of the spirits to the fatal epidemic, from the rough pipe and cigar to the modern-day cigarette. This scholarly and comprehensive survey combines up-to-date published work with primary research to provide a systematic way of understanding current debates from a historical perspective. Goodman draws on a wide range of disciplines to present a history that explores larger themes, such as colonialism, consumerism, medical discourse and multinational enterprise. The book reveals the complex web of dependence and relationships surrounding this controversial commodity. |
