Free Download How the Brain Got Language - Towards a New Road Map By Michael A. Arbib (editor)
2020 | 401 Pages | ISBN: 9027207623 | PDF | 16 MB
How did humans evolve biologically so that our brains and social interactions could support language processes, and how did cultural evolution lead to the invention of languages (signed as well as spoken)? This book addresses these questions through comparative (neuro)primatology - comparative study of brain, behavior and communication in monkeys, apes and humans - and an EvoDevoSocio framework for approaching biological and cultural evolution within a shared perspective. Each chapter provides an authoritative yet accessible review from a different discipline: linguistics (evolutionary, computational and neuro), archeology and neuroarcheology, macaque neurophysiology, comparative neuroanatomy, primate behavior, and developmental studies. These diverse perspectives are unified by having each chapter close with a section on its implications for creating a new road map for multidisciplinary research. These implications include assessment of the pluses and minuses of the Mirror System Hypothesis as an "old" road map. The cumulative road map is then presented in the concluding chapter. Originally published as a special issue of Interaction Studies 19:1/2 (2018).

Free Download History of My Life, Vols. 5 & 6 By Giacomo Chevalier de Seingalt Casanova
1997 | 688 Pages | ISBN: 0801856647 | PDF | 38 MB
Award-winning translation of the complete memoirs of Casanova available for the first time in paperback.In volumes 5 and 6, Casanova brings his flight from the Inquisitor's prison in Venice to a happy conclusion. Exiled from Venice, he goes to Munich and Paris, where he establishes himself as a cabalist, makes a fortune in Holland, helps start the French State Lottery, goes on to Switzerland where he meets Voltaire.Because every previous edition of Casanova's Memoirs had been abridged to suppress the author's political and religious views and tame his vivid, often racy, style, the literary world considered it a major event when Willard R. Trask's translation of the complete original text was published in six double volumes between 1966 and 1971. Trask's award-winning translation now appears in paperback for the first time.

Free Download David Lane, "Global Neoliberal Capitalism and the Alternatives: From Social Democracy to State Capitalisms "
English | ISBN: 1529220904 | 2023 | 334 pages | PDF | 25 MB
Since the world economic crisis of 2007, commentators have pointed to the dangers of a capitalistic system that seems incapable of delivering sustainable growth and well-being. This bold new book offers an exhaustive diagnosis of global capitalism across the world's nations. David Lane examines the nature and appeal of neoliberal capitalism according to different schools of thought, and he analyses proposals for its reform and replacement from state socialism and social democratic corporatism to self-sustaining networks. Looking ahead to a novel system of economic and political coordination based on a combination of market socialism and state planning, this book offers crucial insights for scholars thinking about alternatives to capitalism. Chapters 3 and 16 are available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.

Free Download Anders Schultz, "Global Citizenship Education in Praxis: Pathways for Schools "
English | ISBN: 180041353X | 2023 | 317 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Internationalisation and intercultural competence are key ideas in contemporary education and have been much theorised and practised in higher education but have not received the same attention in school contexts. Linked to these ideas is an increasing focus on global citizenship and the development of students' critical thinking skills and self-realisation. This book is based on a decade of experience of combining all three concepts in the practice of an upper secondary school in Denmark which is linked to 16 schools in 15 countries. The book includes both a description of the project by the teachers who have taken part and an analysis by researchers who have worked with them to deliver the programme.

English | ISBN: 1474405827 | 2017 | 184 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Jon Roffe shows how Empiricism and Subjectivity is the precursor for some of Deleuze's most well-known philosophical innovations. For those already familiar with Deleuze, he emphasises its novelty within his corpus. And, for all readers, he shows how it outlines Deleuze's powerful and striking theory of subjectivity, and of philosophy itself.
