Sociology Now: The Essentials

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Kimmel, Michael S. / Aronson, Amy, PUBLISHER: Prentice Hall, "Sociology Now"" The Essentials" reflects the discipline today and explores the big questions about multiculturalism and globalization that sociologists ask. Sociology has always offered a way to make sense of the complex and sometimes contradictory forces that shape our social lives in any era. As "Sociology Now" explains sociology as both a body of knowledge and a "way of seeing," it shows how two such forces in particular have come to preoccupy sociologists and influence the way they look at the events and experiences of the early twenty first century: The first is globalization--the economic, political, cultural, and social interconnections among people and institutions all over the world. The second is multiculturalism--the recognition that race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, religion, and other statuses are sources of social inequality, but also the foundations of our identities. Michael Kimmel, a leading sociologist and gender researcher, and co-author Amy Aronson, a journalist and media scholar, address these questions head-on as they make a compelling case for the importance of sociology in the contemporary world.

Politics and the Theory of Language in the USSR :

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brandist, Craig / Chown, Katya, PUBLISHER: Anthem Press, 'Politics and the Theory of Language in the USSR ' provides ground-breaking research into the complex interrelations of linguistic theory and politics during the first two decades of the USSR. The work examines how the new Revolutionary regime promoted linguistic research that scrutinised the relationship between language, social structure, national identity and ideological factors as part of an attempt to democratize the public sphere. It also looks at the demise of the sociological paradigm, as the isolation and bureaucratization of the state gradually shifted the focus of research. Through this account, the collection formally acknowledges the achievements of the Soviet linguists of the time, whose innovative approaches to the relationship between language and society predates the emergence of western sociolinguistics by several decades. These articles are the first articles written in English about these linguists, and will introduce an Anglophone audience to a range of materials hitherto unavailable. In addition to providing new articles, the volume also presents the first annotated translation of Ivan Meshchaninov's 'Theses on Japhetidology', thereby providing insight into one of the most controversial strands within Soviet linguistic thought.

Brightest Heaven of Invention: A Christian Guide to Six

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Leithart, Peter, PUBLISHER: Canon Press, Shakespeare was, as Caesar says of Cassius, "a great observer," able to see and depict patterns of events and character. He understood how politics is shaped by the clash of men with various colorings of self-interest and idealism, how violence breeds violence, how fragile human beings create masks and disguises for protection, how schemers do the same for advancement, how love can grow out of hate and hate out of love. Dare anyone say that these insights are irrelevant to living in the real world? For many in an older generation, the Bible and the Collected Shakespeare were the two indispensable books, and thus their sense of life and history was shaped by the best and best-told stories. And they were the wiser for it. Literature abstracts from the complex events of life (just as we do every day) and can reveal patterns that are like the patterns of events in the real world. Studying Literature can give us sensitivity to those patterns and lead towards true wisdom. Acquista Ora

Transition from Below: Forging Trade Unionism and Workplace

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Von Holdt, K. / Von Holdt, Karl, PUBLISHER: University of Kwazulu Natal Press, This book analyzes the militant struggle of black workers against the despotism and racism of white power in the workplace, and of their participation in the broader political struggle against apartheid; the triumphant democratic breakthrough which culminated in the election of an ANC government in ; and the workers' strategy for reconstruction in the workplace and in local politics. Von Holdt explores the chaos and ungovernability in workplace and community as activists endeavored to disrupt the order of apartheid, as well as the outlines of a new order that emerged from this turbulence. Simultaneously, it examines the divisions and contestation within the union - between political activists and shop stewards, between migrant outsiders and urban locals - that erupted in open conflict and violence between workers. The struggle against white power was simultaneously a struggle to build trade union organization in a continuous process of forging and re-forging the meaning and "law" of the union. This book shows how trade union collective identity in the s consisted of a complex amalgam of popular, class and workplace identities, many of which were forged beyond the workplace.

Ligeti, Kurt G, and Hungarian Music During the Cold War

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Beckles Willson, Rachel, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, Drawing on key elements from musical thought in inter-war Hungary, this book provides a unique perspective on the nation's musical heritage both inside and outside Hungary's borders during the Cold War. Although Ligeti became part of the Western avant-garde after he left Hungary in , archival sources illuminate his ongoing contact with Hungarian musicians, and their shifting perspective on his work. Kurt g's music was more obviously involved with Hungarian traditions, was entangled with the Soviet occupation, and was a contributing part of the city's diverse musical culture. However, from the mid-s onwards, critics identified his music as an artistic and moral 'truth' distinct from the broader musical life of Budapest: it was an idealized symbol of life beyond the everyday in Hungary. Grounding her interpretations of works in these complex political circumstances, Beckles Willson is nonetheless sympathetic to arguments by Ligeti, Kurt g and Budapest music critics that their music might have a life beyond nationalist and Cold War ideology.

Late Transition Metal Polymerization Catalysis

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rieger, Bernd / Baugh, Lisa / Kacker, Smita, PUBLISHER: Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH, Even some fifty years after their discovery, transition metals have lost none of their fascination. The use of complex compounds in these elements has not only revolutionized synthesis in the laboratory, but has also led to them playing an important role in many industrial applications. Each year, millions of tons of plastics are produced around the world and, by varying the ligands in the catalytically active compounds, the properties of the resulting polymers can even be tailored for use. For this purpose, sandwich compounds from early transition metals have been common until now, but interest has focused increasingly on the late transition metals. In this book, the world's leading authors from research and industry discuss the latest developments in research into palladium, zinc, iron and nickel catalysis. In so doing, they systematically introduce readers to the basic principles and illustrate how these innovative catalysts can be effectively used for polymerizations. The result is an ideal reference work, invaluable for every organic chemist working in catalysis or polymer research. Acquista Ora

Monetary Reform and Cooperation Theory

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Macesich, George, PUBLISHER: Praeger, This volume demonstrates how monetary and financial organizations in the United States and abroad can be improved through a new addition to traditional monetary policy. Cooperation theory, a system developed from games theory, is shown to provide an appropriate action/reaction approach that can lead to cooperation without abandoning the free market. Institutional, theoretical, and empirical results of game theory, computer simulation, monetary theory, and policy analysis are woven together so that each reinforces the other. The text clearly stresses that although unilateral, noncooperative action may result in short-term advantage for an organization, it ultimately leads to long-term losses for all in the economic system. Monetary Reform and Cooperation Theory opens with a discussion of cooperation theory. It goes on to address improving the monetary financial organization. Bureaucracy and philosophy are analyzed, along with reform in the banking industry and banking in other countries. The book concludes with issues of international creditors and debtors. This work is full of useful information for the general economist, political scientist, and layman on the complex issue of monetary reform and the positive role cooperation theory can play in this vital process.

Robot Shaping: An Experiment in Behavior Engineering

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dorigo, Marco / Colombetti, Marco, PUBLISHER: Bradford Book, foreword by Lashon Booker To program an autonomous robot to act reliably in a dynamic environment is a complex task. The dynamics of the environment are unpredictable, and the robots' sensors provide noisy input. A learning autonomous robot, one that can acquire knowledge through interaction with its environment and then adapt its behavior, greatly simplifies the designer's work. A learning robot need not be given all of the details of its environment, and its sensors and actuators need not be finely tuned. "Robot Shaping" is about designing and building learning autonomous robots. The term "shaping" comes from experimental psychology, where it describes the incremental training of animals. The authors propose a new engineering discipline, "behavior engineering," to provide the methodologies and tools for creating autonomous robots. Their techniques are based on classifier systems, a reinforcement learning architecture originated by John Holland, to which they have added several new ideas, such as "mutespec," classifier system "energy," and dynamic population size. In the book they present Behavior Analysis and Training (BAT) as an example of a behavior engineering methodology.

The Myth of Quetzalcoatl

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Florescano, Enrique / Hochroth, Lisa / Hochroth, Lysa, PUBLISHER: Johns Hopkins University Press, Warrior, rain-god, and spirit of the maize, Quetzalcoatl -- the most familiar of the Mesoamerican gods -- is better known for his attributes than for his complex history. Known to the Zapotecs, Olmecs, Toltecs, Mayans, Aztecs, and others, and at times the shared hero of warring peoples, Quetzalcoatl transcends both cultural and chronological barriers. His very name links the earth (coatl, or serpent) with the sky (quetzalli, or precious green feathers). In this comprehensive study, Enrique Florescano traces the spread of the worship of the Plumed Serpent, and the multiplicity of interpretations that surround the god, by comparing the Palenque inscriptions (ca. A.D. 690), the Vienna Codex (pre-Hispanic conquest), the Historia de los Mexicanos (), the Popul Vuh (ca. ), and numerous other texts. He also consults and reproduces archeological evidence from Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Nicaragua, demonstrating how the myth of Quetzalcoatl extends throughout Mesoamerica. Chapter topics include the diverse manifestations of Quetzalcoatl, the god as civilizing hero, interpretations of his role in creation stories and other myths, and a comparative study of Quetzalcoatl as one of the offspring of the Mother Goddess similar to divinities such as Dumuzi, Tammuz, Osiris, Adonis, and Persephone, from other classical cultures.

Minimalism/Maximalism

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cuito, Aurora, PUBLISHER: Loft Publications, The history of architecture, like that of all art forms, has fluctuated over the years between two very marked trends: austerity and opulence of form and concept. Styles have alternated from simplicity to exuberance, eventually reaching an eclectic period in which rationalist works coexist with postmodern structures, minimalist interiors, and crowded atmospheres. Minimalism/Maximalism presents a resplendent collection of buildings that illustrate these two very dissimilar styles. The creators of these projects -- among some of today's most prestigious architects -- demonstrate that after a long period of austere work it's time for a new, cutting-edge design -- one that is more complex, with an enriching mixture of materials, forms, and functions. Filled with 370 lavish color images and 50 architectural plans, this guide compares and contrasts an array of minimalist and maximalist examples. Readers will find impressive homes, offices, and shops created by Frank O. Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Rem Koolhass, Ettore Sottsass, and 20 other designers. Plus, clear, descriptive text details how minimalism/maximalism influenced other disciplines such as graphic design. Whether one is an architect, interior designer, contractor, or homeowner, Minimalism/Maximalism is a neverending source of style and inspiration.

Emerson in His Journals:,

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Porte, Joel / Emerson, Ralph Waldo, PUBLISHER: Belknap Press, This long-awaited volume offers the general reader the heart of Emerson's journals, that extraordinary series of diaries and notebooks in which he poured out his thoughts for more than fifty years, beginning with the "luckless ragamuffin ideas" of his college days. Emerson as revealed in his journals is more spontaneous, more complex, more human and appealing than he appears in the published works. This man is the seeker rather than the sage; he records the turmoil, struggle, and questioning that preceded the serene and confident affirmations of the essays. He is honest, earthy, tough-minded, self-critical ("I am a lover of indolence, & of the belly"), warm in his enthusiasms, a witty and sharp observer of people and events. Everything is grist for his mill: personal experiences, his omnivorous reading, ruminations on matters large and small, his doubts and perplexities, public issues and local gossip. There are abrupt shifts in subject and tone, reflecting the variousness of his moods and the restless energy of his mind. Drawing from Harvard's sixteen-volume scholarly edition of the journals--but omitting the textual apparatus that makes it hard to read--Joel Porte presents a sympathetic selection that brings us close to Emerson the man.
