It shows how each of these new spheres is able to create its own 'inner cosmos' of salvation from rationalised senselessness, just as Weber's 'irrational' spheres offer release from the grim reality of capitalism, the disenchanted universe and the bureaucratic state formed by the more 'rationalised' spheres. Drawing on a wide, cross-disciplinary range of sources, the author sheds light on the role of home in creating a sense of our enchanted past, of nature in helping to restore to the world a teleological meaning constructed from innocence and purity and of sport in imposing sense on the world, at least temporarily. ![]() Free Download A View from the Stars: Stories and Essays by Cixin Liu English | April 2, 2024 | ISBN: 1250292115 | True EPUB | 224 pages | 5 MB "We're mysterious aliens in the crowd. We jump like fleas from future to past and back again, and float like clouds of gas between nebulae; in a flash, we can reach the edge of the universe, or tunnel into a quark, or swim within a star-core. . . . We're as unassuming as fireflies, yet our numbers grow like grass in spring. We sci-fi fans are people from the future."-Cixin Liu, from the essay "Sci-Fi Fans" ![]() Free Download A Third Path: Corporatism in Brazil and Portugal by Melissa Teixeira English | 2024 | ISBN: 0691191026 | 385 Pages | True PDF | 22.6 MB ![]() Free Download Linda F Campbell PhD, "A Telepsychology Casebook: Using Technology Ethically and Effectively in Your Professional Practice" English | ISBN: 1433827069 | 2017 | 198 pages | EPUB | 676 KB This casebook provides practical recommendations on a range of issues associated with electronic-based mental health care. ![]() Free Download A Systemic Transition to Circular Economy: Business and Technology Perspectives English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031550358 | 261 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 28 MB The book will explore, using multiple perspectives from multiple contributors, two main aspects for circular economy (CE) business and technology (B&T): systems and value perspectives. Going beyond a linear-economic perspective-the traditional perspective-CE needs to develop intentional and integrated paths to help restore physical resources and regenerate the functions of natural and anthropic systems, creating greater economic and social opportunities, with environmentally positive outcomes. Whether this is feasible and possible within the context of CE and B&T is something that will be central to the contributions made in this book. ![]() Free Download Kate Walker, "A Straightforward Guide to Writing Romantic Fiction" English | 2011 | ISBN: 1903909090 | EPUB | pages: 144 | 0.3 mb Kate Walker has been writing romantic fiction for over 12 years, and has had many Mills & Boon novels published.
