Culture, Development and Social Theory: Towards an Integrated Social Development
ISBN: 9781780323152 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9781780323985 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Viewed as problematic, however, such disagreement is often dismissed as irrational, irrelevant or unethical and is thus hidden behind an artifice of consensus.
This book provides a refreshing new perspective that decries the illusions of consensus in current climate change discourse. It suggests that there are four main accounts of the issue; technological,... Climate change is the greatest challenge of the age and yet it is also one of the most disputed.
