 The Myth of Disenchantment: Magic, Modernity, and the Birth of the Human Sciences by Jason A. Josephson-Storm English | May 18, 2017 | ISBN: 022640322X, 022640336X | True EPUB | 400 pages | 12 MB A great many theorists have argued that the defining feature of modernity is that people no longer believe in spirits, myths, or magic. Jason Ā. Josephson-Storm argues that as broad cultural history goes, this narrative is wrong, as attempts to suppress magic have failed more often than they have succeeded. Even the human sciences have been more enchanted than is commonly supposed. But that raises the question: How did a magical, spiritualist, mesmerized Europe ever convince itself that it was disenchanted?  The Myth of American Inequality: How Government Biases Policy Debate by Phil Gramm, Robert Ekelund, John Early 2022 | ISBN: 1538167387 | English | 264 pages | PDF | 4.7 MB A Wall Street Journal Best Book of 2022: Politics  The Myofascial System in Form and Movement by Nemetz, Lauri;Lesondak, David; English | 2023 | ISBN: 1912085798 | 240 pages | True PDF EPUB | 142.39 MB  The Multi-Disciplinary Instructional Designer: Integrating Specialized Skills into Design Toolkits English | 2023 | ISBN: 103220205X | 216 Pages | PDF (True) | 3 MB The Multi-Disciplinary Instructional Designer explores how the instructional design and development process can be energized and deepened through principles gleaned from other fields of academic study. Despite their shared academic preparation and theoretical foundations, many instructional designers come to the profession also bearing formative knowledge from a diverse range of other subject areas, career tracks, creative practices, or intellectual pursuits. Their training, however, typically does not prepare them to leverage these specializations into the creation of more effective educational experiences and materials. This first-of-its-kind book guides instructional designers to apply key concepts, strategies, and lessons learned from a variety of disciplines - spanning the social sciences, arts and humanities, and STEM - to their practice. Chapters replete with example scenarios, reflection activities, and field-tested strategies provide an expansive yet actionable reframing of the profession's potential. By seeking inspiration across disciplines and from the world at large, instructional designers will emerge with robust and revitalized toolkits, ready to enrich their approach to teaching and learning.  Mark Hyman, "The Most Expensive Game in Town: The Rising Cost of Youth Sports and the Toll on Today's Families" English | 2012 | ISBN: 0807001449, 0807001368 | 176 pages | AZW3 / EPUB / MOBI | 1.1 MB A look at how commercialization has transformed youth sports from fun into a heavily commercialized and profitable venture  Jesse Olsavsky, "The Most Absolute Abolition: Runaways, Vigilance Committees, and the Rise of Revolutionary Abolitionism, 1835-1861 " English | ISBN: 080717730X | 2022 | 294 pages | PDF | 2 MB Jesse Olsavsky's The Most Absolute Abolition tells the dramatic story of how vigilance committees organized the Underground Railroad and revolutionized the abolitionist movement. These groups, based primarily in northeastern cities, defended Black neighborhoods from police and slave catchers. As the urban wing of the Underground Railroad, they helped as many as ten thousand refugees, building an elaborate network of like-minded sympathizers across boundaries of nation, gender, race, and class.  The Moral Work of Anthropology: Ethnographic Studies of Anthropologists at Work By Hanne Overgaard Mogensen (editor), Birgitte Gorm Hansen (editor) 2021 | 248 Pages | ISBN: 1800731124 | PDF | 1 MB Looking at anthropologists at work, this book investigates what kind of morality they perform in their occupations and what the impact of this morality is. The book includes ethnographic studies in four professional arenas: health care, business, management and interdisciplinary research. The discussion is positioned at the intersection of 'applied or public anthropology' and 'the anthropology of ethics' and analyses the ways in which anthropologists can carry out 'moral work' both inside and outside of academia.  Preston B Nichols, Peter Moon, "The Montauk Project: Experiments in Time" English | 1992 | ISBN: 0963188909 | 160 pages | EPUB | 2.2 MB The Montauk Project chronicles the most amazing and secretive research project in recorded history. Starting with the "Philadelphia Experiment"; of 1943, invisibility experiments were conducted aboard the USS Eldridge that resulted in full scale teleportation of the ship and crew. Forty years of massive research ensued, culminating in bizarre experiments at Montauk Point that actually tapped the powers of creation and manipulated time itself. The Montauk Project bridges the modalities of science with the most esoteric techniques ever imagined and finally catapults us to the threshold of the stars. We all know something is out there, but we're not sure exactly what. This book, at long last, begins to provide some solid clues.  The Mis-education of the Negro (Penguin Classics) by Carter G.
