Turning Points
ISBN: 9781481188883 / Angielski / Miękka / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. (Excerpts from the book). The purpose of this novelette is to try to point out how the turning points for the better of some of the pressing problems plaguing our Philippine nation today can be reached. It must be pointed out at the outset that the turning point in a crisis is reached only after sometime, perhaps a long time of constant, continuous and relentless creative efforts towards the solution of the problem. Perhaps we are naive in saying so, but we have to say it nonetheless. No successful business was built overnight or as they say, "Rome was not built in a day." Aside from...

Reinventing Childhood After World War II
ISBN: 9780812223187 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the Western world, the modern view of childhood as a space protected from broader adult society first became a dominant social vision during the nineteenth century. Many of the West's sharpest portrayals of children in literature and the arts emerged at that time in both Europe and the United States and continue to organize our perceptions and sensibilities to this day. But that childhood is now being recreated. Many social and political developments since the end of the World War II have fundamentally altered the lives children lead and are now beginning to transform conceptions...

Changing Landscapes for Childhood and Youth in Europe
ISBN: 9781443858984 / Angielski / Twarda / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Contemporary social transformations, characterised by multi-dimensional globalisation and technological change, have lent new impetus to the emergence of internationally oriented and interdisciplinary childhood and youth studies.

As such, insulated national discourses are no longer an adequate framework to address such issues: economic and cultural globalisation...
