Free Download Agency Its Role in Mental Development By James Russell; James Rusell
1996 | 336 Pages | ISBN: 0863772285 | PDF | 9 MB
The idea behind this book is that developing a conception of the physical world and a conception of mind is impossible without the exercise of agency, meaning "the power to alter at will one's perceptual inputs." The thesis is derived from a philosphical account of the role of agency in knowledge.; The book is divided into three parts. In Part One, the author argues that "purely representational" theories of mind and of mental development have been overvalued, thereby clearing the ground for the book's central thesis. In Part Two, he proposes that, because objective experience depends upon the experience of agency, the development of the "object concept" in human infants is grounded in the development of executive-attentional capacities. In Part Three, an analysis of the links between agency and self-awareness generates an original theory of the nature of certain stage-like transitions in mental functioning and of the relationship between executive and mentalizing defects in autism.; The book should be of interest to students and researchers in cognitive- developmental psychology, to philosophers of mind, and to anybody with an interest in cognitive science.

Free Download Ageing Matters: European Policy Lessons from the East By John F. Doling (editor), Catherine Jones Finer (editor), Tony Maltby (editor)
2005 | 204 Pages | ISBN: 0754642372 | PDF | 2 MB
The implications of population ageing have long concerned politicians, policy makers and governmental and non-governmental organizations in the welfare states of Europe. However, an ageing workforce is increasingly a matter of concern for the developed and fast-developing countries of Asia. Japan leads the field in this respect on account of the speed of its postwar economic development. But the little tigers of Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan are poised to catch up, and Malaysia, though in the second tier of developing Asian economics, faces the prospect of population ageing sufficient to daunt an as yet under-prepared infrastructure for old age support. This book is the first to examine in detail the experiences and prospects of population ageing in those Asian countries with the highest GDP per capita. The authors pose the question to what extent Asia and 'old Europe' can learn from each other in terms of policy planning. The first section of the book sets out the field in terms of the demographic characteristics and policy predicaments of European and Asian countries. The second section presents case-studies of six countries: Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Malaysia.

Free Download Davide Zori, "Age of Wolf and Wind: Voyages through the Viking World"
English | ISBN: 0190916060 | 2024 | 520 pages | PDF | 74 MB
The Vikings continue to fascinate us because their compelling stories connect with universal human desires for exploration and adventure. In Age of Wolf and Wind: Voyages through the Viking World, author Davide Zori argues that recent advances in excavation and archaeological science, coupled with a re-evaluation of oral traditions and written sources, inspire the telling of new and engaging stories that further our understanding of the Viking Age. Drawing upon his fieldwork experience across the Viking world, he proposes that the best method for weaving together these narratives is a balanced, interdisciplinary approach that integrates history, archaeology, and new scientific techniques.

Free Download Age of Iron: English Renaissance Tropologies of Love and Power By Carrithers, Gale H.; Hardy, James Daniel
1998 | 314 Pages | ISBN: 0807122467 | EPUB | 1 MB
"In Age of Iron, Gale Carrithers and James Hardy scrutinize the habits of thought during the so-called long century of the English Renaissance, or Age of Iron, as many then termed it. Through illuminating argument, the authors reassert the essentially religious dynamism of English Renaissance culture, significantly strengthening a nascent countercurrent to recent scholarship's emphasis on secular power as the ascendant preoccupation of the era." "Whereas latter-day literary and historical scholars have stressed secondary issues of political and economic power, class, gender, and race, Carrithers and Hardy underscore love - in its agapaic, philadelphic, and erotic modalities, and through the media of the tropes - love as a complement and alternative to secular power."--Jacket.

Free Download Anshuman Prasad, "Against the Grain: Advances in Postcolonial Organization Studies (28) "
English | ISBN: 8763002434 | 2012 | 320 pages | PDF | 15 MB
The sudden collapse of the Western imperium during the middle of the 20th century marked a major shift in world history. Coming in the wake of that collapse, postcolonial theory offers a uniquely inventive scholarly framework for critiquing modern Western colonialism and neo-colonialism. It represents one of the most serious challenges to Eurocentric habits of thought that continue to bedevil current practices of scholarship. Emerging initially in scholarly domains, like comparative literature and literary theory, postcolonialism has now become an influential presence in a large number of disciplines in the humanities and the social sciences. In this volume, author Anshuman Prasad and his colleagues trace some of the trajectories being taken by current postcolonial theoretic research in the scholarly field of management and organization studies. Representing an international group of organizational scholars, the contributors to this collection focus upon a wide range of important issues, such as: management of workplace diversity and multiculturalism * cross-cultural management * cultural and other aspects of contemporary globalization * the issues of representation * the complexities of indigenous governance involving the Aborigines in Australia and the Maori in New Zealand * the limitations of international management textbooks produced in the West * the implications of non-modernist 'Third World' organizations for the modernist discourse of development. In that process, the book's contributors not only provide remarkable insights into the continuing significance of the colonial encounter for the current discourse of management, but also offer a number of valuable pointers for working 'against the grain' of the conventional discourse of management. Suggesting that postcolonial theory represents a heterogeneous and open ended scholarly approach that repeatedly breaches disciplinary boundaries and refuses to be systematized, this volume in the Advances in Organization Studies series offers an important look at the extraordinary power and promise of postcolonialism as a critical perspective in management and organization studies. (Series: Advances in Organization Studies (AiOS) - Vol. 28)
