ISBN: 9789087908560 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Much has been written about lifehistory research in recent times.

In conceiving of each of the chapters from an epistemological perspective, the authors focus on how... Much has been written about lifehistory research in recent times. It has been paraded as a counterculture to the traditional research canon, and celeb...
