A Place of Healing for the Soul: Patmos
ISBN: 9780802140609 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The tiny, arid Greek island of Patmos is one of the most sacred places in the Christian world, and a place of bewitching power, where people come for a brief summer visit and end up returning, year after year, for the rest of their lives. They respond to an unexplainable force which they can find nowhere else. Perhaps it is the invigorating "Greek light" that infuses the Holy Island's rocks and hills with a breathtaking sharpness and clarity, dating back to the time when Zeus raised the island from the bed of the sea.
Or perhaps it is Patmos's incredible history: almost two thousand years... The tiny, arid Greek island of Patmos is one of the most sacred places in the Christian world, and a place of bewitching power, where people come for ...

Global Migration, Entrepreneurship and Society
ISBN: 9781839820977 / Angielski / Twarda / 2021 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the field of business and management, the core concept associated with migration sees “difference and distance” as liabilities, whether they are national, cultural, geographic, or semantic. While existing research is valuable, recently it has been suggested that an emphasis on liabilities and adverse outcomes associated with such differences may hinder our understanding of the conditions that help to leverage the value of diversity in a wide range of contexts. Global Migration, Entrepreneurship and Society seeks to explore these seemingly interconnected processes, offering a safe...
