Martin Weegmann, "The World within the Group: Developing Theory for Group Analysis "
English | ISBN: 1780491980 | 2014 | 224 pages | PDF | 1099 KB
The World within the Group is an original and ambitious endeavour to connect group analysis to philosophy, history, and modern social theory. The book argues that group analysis needs theoretical renewal to remain relevant, and that philosophy is a valuable resource for such thinking. In particular, the work of three philosophers is examined: Nietzsche, Dewey, and Gadamer, each being associated with "pragmatic-perspective" inquiry. The author demonstrates that group analysis is compatible with such inquiry, and that we understand and intervene from within the horizon of specific traditions of training and theory. Group analysis typifies an unremitting relational stance, valuing openness of dialogue, and moving in and out of the perspectival worlds of the participants. The book also offers a re-formulation of the concept of social unconscious, seen as a discursive world of production and articulation. Drawing on contemporary social theories, it chimes with the spirit of Elias's historical approach.

Reforming Education in Developing Countries: From Neoliberalism to Communitarianism By Izhar Oplatka
2018 | 192 Pages | ISBN: 0815377290 | PDF | 2 MB
Underpinned in the stream of thought named 'communitarianism', Reforming Education in Developing Countries argues that developing countries need educational reforms that are tightly entwined into their cultural, social, and organizational contexts. It questions the applicability of neoliberal reforms in developing societies, through an analysis of the main elements of neoliberalism in education. It highlights the critical role of the community and suggests new and alternative lines of thoughts for the practice of reform initiation and implementation in developing countries.The book criticizes major neoliberal ideas in education, illuminates the distinctions between current neoliberal reforms and the characteristics of traditional societies, analyzes major educational ideologies in the developed world, and emphasizes the key role of local communities in this world. It proposes a dynamic model of reforming education in these countries that includes three major phases and integrates both modern and traditional (indigenous) educational purposes and values. Evocative ponderings are outlined throughout the book to promote critical thinking and reframing of educators' views towards educational reform and change.This book will be of great interest to researchers and students in the fields of educational leadership, educational policy, educational change, comparative education, political science and sociology. It will also appeal to educators, supervisors and policy makers.

Developing the Gull-Winged F4U Corsair - And Taking It To Sea: Volume 1 By Ralph Harvey
2012 | 294 Pages | ISBN: 1469991225 | PDF | 33 MB
The late-1930s marked the end of the biplane era, and the U.S. Navy needed a new fighter. The Vought F4U Corsair was the winning design, but the service's first 400 m.p.h. warplane came with more than just blistering speed. This aerial hot-rod had some very poor flight characteristics and came to be known as the "Ensign Eliminator." Even after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Navy decided that the Corsair was unsuitable for shipboard use. Yet the Corsair eventually did operate from aircraft carriers, and the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps − along with the Royal Navy's Fleet Air Arm and the Royal New Zealand Air Force − all used the F4U with great success. This book tells that story. As a guide to readers, Developing the Gull-WInged F4U Corsair − And Taking It To Sea does not focus on individual pilots, squadrons or dogfights, but compliments existing texts with over 40 images and information that pilots and non-pilots will appreciate. In particular, this book looks at the development of leading World War Two fighters, including the F4U; the expansion of the Vought-Sikorsky factory during mobilization; the F4U's limitations, and why techniques for a navalized version of the British Spitfire could also be used in the Corsair; a broad overview of the F4U's operational history, and the 1948-9 relocation of the Vought factory from Connecticut to Dallas. It is a history and remembrance of all who designed, built and test flew F4U Corsair, and those who served in uniform.

Patent and Trade Disparities in Developing Countries By Srividhya Ragavan
2012 | 416 Pages | ISBN: 0199840679 | PDF | 5 MB
For developing countries, the concept of sustainable development, as opposed to rapid pockets of development, embodies great promise for socio-political reasons. Most analyses of development, however, have focused on either trade mechanisms or intellectual-property regimes, which has resultedin overly narrow and sometimes paradoxical conclusions, with corresponding policy measures that have promised far more than they can deliver. While each of these mechanisms has benefits and disadvantages, questions about how they would interact and what kind of results they produce remain largelyunexplored. Similarly, almost all of these regimes provide generalized solutions that developing countries tend to denounce as ill-fitting. There are several flexibilities that can be used as effective tools, but knowing which flexibility applies best to what context remains contentious. In Patentand Trade Disparities in Developing Countries, Srividhya Ragavan examines the interaction between trade and intellectual property regimes (using the patent regime in India as the focal point) in an integrated developmental framework to determine whether and how sustainable economic growth can beachieved in developing countries. This book examines a number of important questions: Is compulsory licensing the best way to provide access to medication or is patent protection more efficient? Should innovation in plant breeding be protected at all? If so, should it be using patents or a suigeneris mechanism?
