Educational Psychology: Disrupting the Dominant Discourse- Second Printing
ISBN: 9780820441306 / Angielski / Miękka / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The work presented in this book represents a shift in thinking about the discipline of educational psychology.

When these influences are recognized, the commonsense, taken-for-granted, and often oppressive concepts and practices of the discipline can be questioned and critiqued. This critical perspective encourages a more rigorous...

Death by Despair: Shame and Suicide
ISBN: 9780820463827 / Angielski / Twarda / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Suicide is one of the major causes of violent death in our societies.

At the same time, the last stage of human development is not necessarily one in which people feel fulfilled. In this book, Ramon Martinez de Pison expands the theory of Lazarus and Folkman (1984) for coping with...
