Karel B. Müller, "Active Borders in Europe: Identity and Collective Memory in the Cross-Border Space "
English | ISBN: 3031237722 | 2023 | 160 pages | PDF | 3 MB
This book explores how identities, public spheres and collective memories are being transformed in cross-border areas, contributing to the broad sociological context of Europeanization. Offering case studies on the German-Czech-Austrian, and Czech-Polish-German borderlands, the book introduces original primary data on cross-border cooperation. This data is interpreted using the concept of active borders, which approaches borders as a source of multicultural competence and cognitive capacity. In turn, the authors argue that Europeans need to treat borders, both territorial and symbolic, as specific cultural forms. Active borders allow an unprecedented level of cross-border cooperation and integration, and foster a better understanding of differences, rather than re-embedding them or constructing others. Accordingly, the authors contend that active borders promote more dynamic, open and resilient societies, and represent crucial prerequisites for the success of the European integration project.

Jane Woddis, "Acting on Cultural Policy: Arts Practitioners, Policy-Making and Civil Society "
English | ISBN: 3031111613 | 2022 | 240 pages | PDF | 4 MB
This book investigates the role of arts practitioners in cultural policy-making, challenging the perception that arts practitioners have little or no involvement in policy and seeking to discover the extent and form of their engagement. Examining the subject through a case-study of playwriting policy in England since 1945, and paying particular attention to playwrights' organisations and their history of self-directed activity, the book explores practitioners' participation in cultural policy-making, encompassing both "invited" and "uninvited" interventions that also weave together policy activity and creative practice. It discusses why their involvement matters, and argues that arts practitioners and their organisations can be understood as participants in civil society whose policy activity contributes to the maintenance and enlargement of democratic practices and values.

Academic Writing and Information Literacy Instruction in Digital Environments: A Complementary Approach
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031191595 | 308 Pages | EPUB (True) | 3 MB
This book offers an interdisciplinary approach to the teaching of academic writing and information literacy in a new digital dimension, drawing on recent trends towardsproject-based writing, digital writing and multimodal writing in Education, and synthesising theory with practice to provide a handy toolkit for teachers and researchers.The author combines a practical orientation to teaching academic writing and informationliteracy with a grounding in current theories of writing instruction in the digitalized era, and argue that as digital environments become more universal in modern society - particularly in the aftermath of the coronavirus pandemic - thelines between traditional academic writing and multi-modal digital writing must necessary become blurred. This book will be of use toteachers and instructors of academic writing and information literacy, particularly within the context of English for Academic Purposes (EAP), as well asstudents and researchers in Applied Linguistics, Pedagogy andDigital Writing.

Cristiano Castelfranchi, "A Theory of Tutelary Relationships"
English | ISBN: 3031205723 | 2022 | 315 pages | PDF | 7 MB
The purpose of the book is to propose and exploit an analytical, critical, well defined theory of a very crucial human social relation that I call "Tutelarity/ Tutelage". This will thus explain how/why such relation is so relevant at any layer of sociality: from affective relationships, to social cooperation and interactions, to politics and democracy. The approach is theoretical and strongly grounded on cognitive science and the models of human mind: beliefs, desires, expectations, emotions, etc. Written in an accessible way, it will be of interest for a large audience, specifically to researchers and scientists interested in cognitive science and the dynamics of social relationships alike.

George W. Knight, "A Simplified Harmony of the Gospels: Using the Text of the HCSB"
English | 2001 | ISBN: 0805494235 | 264 pages | EPUB | 0.73 MB
Most of the Gospel Harmonies use parallel columns to give side-by-side comparisons of the various events in Jesus' life and ministry. But how much easier could His storyline be followed if it were presented in one seamless narrative, streamlined in chronological order? Features: * The four Gospels woven into a single, running narrative * All Scriptures taken from the Holman Christian Standard Bible * Sidebars call attention to major themes and difficult passages in the Gospels * Hundreds of study notes- a regular feature of every page-illuminate the text * Useful for both lesson and sermon preparation as well as stand-alone reading * Systematic reading plan for family worship and devotional use
