This requires an understanding of how social work and its clients are prepared for, capable to respond to, and further, to recover from a societal crisis and human disasters, like a coronavirus pandemic. Divided into three parts, it provides ...
Globalism in the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Age

In fact, by means of translations and trade, for instance, global connections were established and maintained over the centuries. Archetypal motifs developed...
