Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book proposes a groundbreaking approach to the study of personal creativity, linking this to the analysis of thechakras, or centers of energy, of the subtle system suggested by the Eastern philosophy called Sahaja Yoga. It arguesthat creativity is to be re-learnt through a process of self-review, a self-examination which is underpinned by the author's concept of the outsider to the self, a pervasive condition characterized by a tendency to be connected to the outer world at the expenseof the inner world. The author analyses creativity from three different but interrelated aspects -the individual, society and education - and maps out a route that may take the individuals into an understanding of blockages in their creative process. It also examines aspects that have contributed to sustain the condition of the outsider to the self, hindering people's creativity. It argues that the traditional education system is both constricting and releasing factor of creativity. Finally, through the use of auto-ethnography, the author reveals a process of blocked and unblocked creativity. This book is a key read for all those interestedinpsychology, sociology, education and cultural studies. 232 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines the political roots of banking crises in Spain. It focuses on the process of political bargains in which parties with different interests come together to form coalitions, and it shows how these coalitions have determined banking outcomes and caused banking crises in Spain. In particular, it analyzes the 2008 Spanish banking crisis and shows how Spanish banks and related savings institutions contributed significantly to the challenges that led to the crisis, including the fueling of a large property bubble - by channeling tremendous credits to the construction and real estate sectors, while starving the country's productive sectors. Accordingly, the book links banking crises to the country's larger institutional malaise, placing the solution not only in the hands of the banks, but also the political institutions that influence them. 372 pp. Englisch.…
