Free Download Bernard Hollander, "Revival: Methods and Uses of Hypnosis and Self Hypnosis (1928): A Treatise on the Powers of the Subconscious Mind "
English | ISBN: 1138553212 | 2018 | 196 pages | EPUB | 1212 KB
The main object of this book is to draw attention to the importance of hypnotism and its phenomena, in order to stimulate inquiry into what is still a mysterious and unexplored subject. This I have already endeavoured to do in an earlier book – Hypnotism and Suggestion in Daily Life, Education and Medical Practice – published in 1910, since when I have gained so much additional experience that an entirely new work is but justice.

Free Download K.J. Kesselring, "Reckoning with History: Essays on Uses of the Past"
English | ISBN: 0228022428 | 2024 | 270 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Bringing together essays on uses of history as both a practical activity and an approach to thinking about the present, this collection explores ways in which people have reckoned with history in pasts both distant and near. Reckoning with History begins by examining uses of the past in early modern Britain, a period in which print, religious reformation, and political conflict transformed historical culture. Later essays offer insights into personal, popular, professional, and sometimes deeply political uses of the past in other times and places, helping to contextualize our own moments in historical writing and to link the early and post-modern periods. Throughout, contributors respond to the writings of Daniel Woolf, whose scholarship illuminates the history of the historical discipline and the social circulation of the past. Covering subjects such as early archival practices, memories of historic plagues, and the type of commemorations needed to revitalize liberal democracies, Reckoning with History contextualizes the uses of the past today.

Free Download Terry Smith, "The Roots and Uses of Marketing Knowledge: A Critical Inquiry into the Theory and Practice of Marketing"
English | ISBN: 3110631148 | 2020 | 235 pages | PDF | 974 KB
Marketing theory is often developed in isolation not collaboration; theoretical perspectives sometimes are ignorant of the diversity of marketing practice. In "The roots and uses of marketing knowledge: a critical inquiry into the theory and practice of marketing", the author engages with the vital conversation about how marketing knowledge is created, disseminated and consumed, looking beyond the traditional reification of practice in theory and verification of theory in practice.

Free Download Helen Fenwick, "Developments in Counter-Terrorist Measures and Uses of Technology"
English | 2012 | ISBN: 0415505666, 1138107700 | EPUB | pages: 112 | 0.7 mb
This book considers some of the most notable aspects of the legal response to the "war on terror" post- 9/11 and the use of technology to support them. It examines the shift from a criminal justice response to the creation of a parallel preventive system running in tandem with it. This system has tended to veer away from the commission of criminal offences or adherence to ordinary criminal justice safeguards. Such a preventive strategy relies on targeting terrorist suspects – those who it is thought may in future commit terrorist acts – and curbing their actions with the aim of preventing terrorist activity before it occurs.

Free Download Bruce Schaffer, "The Avocado: Botany, Production and Uses"
English | 2013 | pages: 584 | ISBN: 1845937015 | PDF | 11,5 mb
Although avocado has been cultivated and consumed for more than 9,000 years near its center of origin in Latin America, world production and trade has increased dramatically over the past few decades. The avocado is now a widely traded fruit between warmer and colder countries as a result of the global community becoming increasingly aware of the versatility and nutritional value of this crop. For the past decade, the world avocado industry has been going through a period of rapid technological change and innovation. The dietary value of "the most nutritious of all fruit" is also receiving more attention. This fully updated new edition of the successful 2002 book will provide a comprehensive review of avocado production, science and technology.

Free Download Andrew Smith, "Class and the Uses of Poetry: Symbolic Enclosures "
English | ISBN: 3031664477 | 2024 | 217 pages | EPUB, PDF | 1178 KB + 4 MB
This book provides new empirical evidence about the ways in which social inequalities, especially those of class, shape and delimit forms of cultural reception and creative opportunity. How does it come about that, in George Orwell’s words, ‘the divorce between poetry and popular culture is accepted as a sort of law of nature’? Drawing on qualitative research conducted in and around Glasgow, Poetry, Class and Symbolic Violence explores how working-class readers engaged with, made sense of, and contested a sense of exclusion from, contemporary poetry. In doing so it sheds light on the symbolic enclosure of poetry, on how that enclosure takes shape in the encounter between readers and poems, but also on why poetry continues to matter. Through these conversations, and in further interviews with unpublished poets, it reflects on the creative and expressive affordances of poetry, on what can be done with poetry and what it can make possible. Sociologists have had little to say about poetry as a distinctive esthetic practice.

Free Download Jacqueline H. Fewkes, "Anthropological Perspectives on the Religious Uses of Mobile Apps"
English | 2019 | pages: 252 | ISBN: 3030263789, 3030263754 | PDF | 2,7 mb
This edited volume deploys digital ethnography in varied contexts to explore the cultural roles of mobile apps that focus on religious practice and communities, as well as those used for religious purposes (whether or not they were originally developed for that purpose). Combining analyses of local contexts with insights and methods from the global subfield of digital anthropology, the contributors here recognize the complex ways that in-app and on-ground worlds interact in a wide range of communities and traditions. While some of the case studies emphasize the cultural significance of use in local contexts and relationships to pre-existing knowledge networks and/or non-digital relationships of power, others explore the globalizing and democratizing influences of mobile apps as communication technologies. From Catholic confession apps to Jewish Kaddish assistance apps and Muslim halal food apps, readers will see how religious-themed mobile apps create complex sites for potential new forms of religious expression, worship, discussion, and practices.
