 Free Download Isaiah Berlin and the Enlightenment edited by Ritchie Robertson, Laurence Brockliss English | December 20, 2016 | ISBN: 0198783930 | True EPUB | 272 pages | 0.5 MB Isaiah Berlin (1909-97) was recognized as Britain's most distinguished historian of ideas. Many of his essays discussed thinkers of what this book calls the 'long Enlightenment' (from Vico in the eighteenth century to Marx and Mill in the nineteenth, with Machiavelli as a precursor). Yet he is particularly associated with the concept of the 'Counter-Enlightenment', comprising those thinkers (Herder, Hamann, and even Kant) who in Berlin's view reacted against the Enlightenment's naive rationalism, scientism and progressivism, its assumption that human beings were basically homogeneous and could be rendered happy by the remorseless application of scientific reason.

 Free Download Stefana Broadbent, "Intimacy at Work: How Digital Media Bring Private Life to the Workplace (Anthropology & Business) " English | ISBN: 1629580953 | 2015 | 117 pages | EPUB | 333 KB According to some social critics, the digital age involves a retreat into the isolation of intelligent machines. Acclaimed scholar Stefana Broadbent takes another view, that digital technologies allow people to bring their private lives into the often alienating world of work. Through ethnographic evidence and data gathered from large samples in Europe and the U.S., Intimacy at Work looks at a paradox in modern life: Although human beings today spend so much of their waking hours working, they remain increasingly connected to family and friends―because of digital and social media. This book -shows how portable communications sustain personal networks offering a sense of identity, comfort, support, and enjoyment in the workplace;-demonstrates through numerous case studies that digital technologies provide a kind of "safety net" in times of economic crisis, softening the precariousness of existence;-is a revised edition of a volume published in French (L'Intimité au Travail, 2011), which won the prestigious AFCI Prize for books on business communications.

Free Download Carlo Bordoni, "Interregnum: Beyond Liquid Modernity " English | ISBN: 3837635155 | 2016 | 136 pages | EPUB | 376 KB Challenging the thought of Zygmunt Bauman on the subject of liquid modernity, where everything has become unstable, precarious and uncertain, Carlo Bordoni (author with Bauman of State of Crisis) proposes to look at contemporary society as an interregnum, a temporary break with the past. In a condition characterised by anomie, the questioning of democratic achievements and the primacy of an unbridled economy, he offers a new perspective on our social condition. Understanding the interregnum and being aware of its instability and the social degradation that it entails can help us to make the right choices.  Free Download John Carpenter, "Interprofessional Education and Training " English | ISBN: 1447329805 | 2016 | 144 pages | EPUB | 852 KB The idea that professionals in health and social care should 'learn together to work together' in 'interprofessional education' (IPE) is not new.

This essential guide provides a thorough introduction to IPE in health and social care. It examines the research on IPE in detail, providing much-needed practical advice. This second edition includes updates to research and policy internationally, examples of successful programmes and methods of evaluation, and provides readers with an essential set of IPE 'do's and don'ts'.
