Rather, embodiment is the active basis of being in the world and the foundation of self, meaning, culture and society. It is not therefore a...

Working Sober
ISBN: 9780801483486 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Moreover, his research suggests that the sense of community which motivates drinking can also sometimes inspire workers to break the pattern and work sober.Revised and updated, this report addresses questions often raised by employers and union leaders developing job-based programs to help alcoholic and...
