ISBN: 9781617359019 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When war came, the authorities in London and Berlin operated evacuation schemes that sent children into billets and camps in rural reception areas.

As policies, the government evacuation schemes were bold, controversial and - considering their distinct political contexts - surprisingly similar; as were some of their consequences: the recipients did not accept...

Much has been written on the development of 'the reflective practitioner' as crucial to the first conception, and a strong critique of 'the audit...
