Free Download Martin Lipscomb, "Exploring Evidence-based Practice: Debates and Challenges in Nursing "
English | ISBN: 1138789909 | 2015 | 230 pages | PDF | 6 MB
Despite sustained debate and progress the evolving thing that is evidence based nursing or practice (EBP) continues to dangle a variety of conceptual and practical loose threads. Moreover, when we think about what is being asked of students and registered or licenced practitioners in terms of EBP, it is difficult not to concede that this ‘ask’ is in many instances quite large and, occasionally, it may be unachievable. EBP has and continues to improve patient, client and user care. Yet significant questions concerning its most basic elements remain unresolved and, if nurses are to contribute to the resolution or reconfiguration of these questions then, as a first step, we must acknowledge their existence.

Free Download Uğur Baloğlu, "Transcultural Images in Hollywood Cinema: Debates on Migration, Identity, and Finance "
English | ISBN: 1793648972 | 2021 | 164 pages | EPUB, PDF | 1025 KB + 8 MB
Transcultural Images in Hollywood Cinema discusses how cinema, particularly Hollywood, impacts the cultural identities we construct for ourselves in order to make sense of who we are in the world. The politics of representation in cinema influence the boundaries of ethnic and racial characteristics and invent cultural and symbolic meanings that create a conventional image throughout the world. The transnational perspective, dissolves, fragments, and decentralizes this image, leaving the nationalist understanding of identity to a hybrid form. Cultures and identities that are expanded across borders form a mosaic by combining their local characteristics with those of the host cultures. This book examines the transnational and transcultural characteristics of Hollywood cinema. The narrative, cinematographic, and aesthetic structures of Hollywood cinema are turned upside down as chapters analyze gender, social, cultural, and economic-political contexts. Scholars of international communication, film, and social sciences will find this book particularly interesting.

Free Download Julia Jorati, "Slavery and Race: Philosophical Debates in the Eighteenth Century "
English | ISBN: 0197659233 | 2023 | 348 pages | EPUB, PDF | 946 KB + 3 MB
Millions of Africans were enslaved and transported to the Americas in the eighteenth century. Europeans-many of whom viewed themselves as enlightened-endorsed, funded, legislated, and executed the slave trade. This atrocity had a profound impact on philosophy, but historians of the discipline have so far neglected to address the topics of slavery and race. Many authors-including enslaved and formerly enslaved Black authors-used philosophical ideas to advocate for abolition, analyze racist attitudes, and critique racial bias. Other authors attempted to justify the transatlantic slave trade by advancing philosophical defenses of racial chattel slavery.
