Social Science Quotations Who Said What When and Where

Social Science Quotations Who Said What When and Where

Social Science Quotations has been prepared to meet an evident unmet need in the literature of the social sciences. Writings on the lives and theories of individual social scientists abound but there has been no fully documented collection of memorable quotations from the social sciences as a whole. The frequent use of quotations in scientific as well as literary writings that are mere summaries or paraphrases typically fail to capture the full force of formulations that have made quotations memorable. This book of quotations invites the further reading or rereading of the original texts beyond the quotations themselves. Sills and Merton draw extensively upon the writings that constitute the historical core of the social sciences and social thought; those works with staying power often described as the classical texts. Many quotations have been drawn from these classical texts because the quotations contain memorable ideas memorably expressed. Both consequential and memorable these words have been quoted over the generations entering into the collective memory of social scientists everywhere and at times diffusing into popular thought and into the vernacular as well. This book is useful to social scientists anthropologists economists historians political scientists psychiatrists psychologists sociologists and statisticians and for all who want to learn or verify memorable formulations and phrases concerning social thought and social theories. It is particularly useful for graduate students taking courses that examine the history of their discipline. | Social Science Quotations Who Said What When and Where

Multilingualism from Manuscript to 3D Intersections of Modalities from Medieval to Modern Times

Multilingualism from Manuscript to 3D Intersections of Modalities from Medieval to Modern Times

This collection explores the links between multimodality and multilingualism charting the interplay between languages channels and forms of communication in multilingual written texts from historical manuscripts through to the new media of today and the non-verbal associations they evoke. The volume argues that features of written texts such as graphics layout boundary marking and typography are inseparable from verbal content. Taken together the chapters adopt a systematic historical perspective to investigate this interplay over time and highlight the ways in which the two disciplines might further inform one another in the future as new technologies emerge. The first half of the volume considers texts where semiotic resources are the sites of modes where multiple linguistic codes interact on the page and generate extralinguistic associations through visual features and spatial organizaisation. The second half of the book looks at texts where this interface occurs not in the text but rather in the cultural practices involved in social materiality and text transmission. Enhancing our understandings of multimodal resources in both historical and contemporary communication this book will be of interest to scholars in multimodality multilingualism historical communication discourse analysis and cultural studies. Chapters 1 4 and 5 of this book are available for free in PDF format as Open Access from the individual product page at www. routledge. com.

Introduction to the Pan-Caribbean

Introduction to the Pan-Caribbean

With its diverse histories of slavery plantations colonialism and independence the Caribbean is richly layered highly complex and a wonderful example of people's resistance. The pan-Caribbean region also provides an excellent geography through which to understand and analyse the complex processes of globalisation development migration tourism and social and cultural relations. While the sea sun and sand representation is a true one -some of the most beautiful places on earth are found in the Caribbean - the pan-Caribbean is much more intricate and fascinating than that. Where else in the world do French Spanish Dutch and English-speaking worlds co-exist alongside indigenous peoples and cultures? Where else have cultures of carnival music and dance become so integrated into national and regional identities? The Caribbean is a crucible of diversity and semblance and a space that is both contradictory and harmonious. Introduction to the Pan-Caribbean has been written by people who are either from the region or have spent much of their working lives there. It is an excellent introduction and is your map through one of the most extraordinary and remarkable parts of the world.

Applied Bohmian Mechanics From Nanoscale Systems to Cosmology

Applied Bohmian Mechanics From Nanoscale Systems to Cosmology

Most textbooks explain quantum mechanics as a story where each step follows naturally from the one preceding it. However the development of quantum mechanics was exactly the opposite. It was a zigzag route full of personal disputes where scientists were forced to abandon well-established classical concepts and to explore new and imaginative pathways. Some of the explored routes were successful in providing new mathematical formalisms capable of predicting experiments at the atomic scale. However even such successful routes were painful enough so that relevant scientists like Albert Einstein and Erwin Schrödinger decided not to support them. In this book the authors demonstrate the huge practical utility of another of these routes in explaining quantum phenomena in many different research fields. Bohmian mechanics the formulation of the quantum theory pioneered by Louis de Broglie and David Bohm offers an alternative mathematical formulation of quantum phenomena in terms of quantum trajectories. Novel computational tools to explore physical scenarios that are currently computationally inaccessible such as many-particle solutions of the Schrödinger equation can be developed from it. | Applied Bohmian Mechanics From Nanoscale Systems to Cosmology

Design of Prestressed Concrete to AS3600-2009

Design of Prestressed Concrete to AS3600-2009

The design of structures in general and prestressed concrete structures in particular requires considerably more information than is contained in building codes. A sound understanding of structural behaviour at all stages of loading is essential. This textbook presents a detailed description and explanation of the behaviour of prestressed concrete members and structures both at service loads and at ultimate loads and in doing so provides a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to structural design. Much of the text is based on first principles and relies only on the principles of mechanics and the properties of concrete and steel with numerous worked examples. However where the design requirements are code specific this book refers to the provisions of the Australian Standard for Concrete Structures (AS3600-2009) and where possible the notation is the same as in AS3600-2009. A parallel volume is written to Eurocode 2 the European Standard for the Design of Concrete Structures. The text runs from an introduction to the fundamentals to in-depth treatments of more advanced topics in modern prestressed concrete structures. It suits senior undergraduate and graduate students and also practising engineers who want a comprehensive guide to the design of prestressed concrete structures. It retains the clear and concise explanations and the easy-to-read style of the first edition but the content has been extensively reorganised and considerably expanded and updated. New chapters cover design procedures actions and loads; prestressing systems and construction requirements; and connections and detailing. The topic of serviceability is developed extensively throughout. The authors have been researching and teaching the behaviour and design of prestressed concrete structures for more than 35 years and this updated edition of the book reflects this wealth of experience. The work has also gained much from Ian Gilbe. | Design of Prestressed Concrete to AS3600-2009

Introduction to Green Chemistry

Introduction to Green Chemistry

Interest in green chemistry and clean processes has grown so much in recent years that topics such as fluorous biphasic catalysis metal organic frameworks and process intensification which were barely mentioned in the First Edition have become major areas of research. In addition government funding has ramped up the development of fuel cells and biofuels. This reflects the evolving focus from pollution remediation to pollution prevention. Copiously illustrated with more than 800 figures the Third Edition provides an update from the frontiers of the field. It features supplementary exercises at the end of each chapter relevant to the chemical examples introduced in each chapter. Particular attention is paid to a new concluding chapter on the use of green metrics as an objective tool to demonstrate proof of synthesis plan efficiency and to identify where further improvements can be made through fully worked examples relevant to the chemical industry. NEW AND EXPANDED RESEARCH TOPICS Metal-organic frameworks Metrics Solid acids for alkylation of isobutene by butanes Carbon molecular sieves Mixed micro- and mesoporous solids Organocatalysis Process intensification and gas phase enzymatic reactions Hydrogen storage for fuel cells Reactive distillation Catalysts in action on an atomic scale UPDATED AND EXPANDED CURRENT EVENTS TOPICS Industry resistance to inherently safer chemistry Nuclear power Removal of mercury from vaccines Removal of mercury and lead from primary explosives Biofuels Uses for surplus glycerol New hard materials to reduce wear Electronic waste Smart growth The book covers traditional green chemistry topics including catalysis benign solvents and alternative feedstocks. It also discusses relevant but less frequently covered topics with chapters such as Chemistry of Long Wear and Population and the Environment. This coverage highlights the importance of chemistry to everyday life and demonstrates the benefits the expanded exploitation of green chemistry can have for society. | Introduction to Green Chemistry

Climate Change Action and the Responsibility to Protect A Common Cause

Climate Change Action and the Responsibility to Protect A Common Cause

This book brings together two important fields in the study of international politics and policy: climate change adaptation and mitigation (climate action) and the Responsibility to Protect (R2P). Both have attracted strong scholarly attention in each of their respective research silos but there is yet to be a strong research push that explores the relationship between the two. Filling this gap Ben L. Parr argues that the climate action and the R2P agendas share a common goal: to protect vulnerable human populations from large-scale harm. To substantiate this argument Parr reveals where the historical conceptual and operational parallels exist between the two agendas and where and when researchers and practitioners from both camps might work together in practice to achieve their common goal in the challenging years ahead. Notably the book builds on recent efforts by Western governments in the UK US and EU to integrate climate action policies into conflict prevention and response policies. To achieve this the volume situates a variety of climate action policies alongside the 46 policy options found in the R2P operational framework (commonly known as the R2P toolbox) across its prevention reaction and rebuilding phases. Climate Change Action and the Responsibility to Protect will be of significant interest to policy-orientated students and scholars those working at the academic-policy interface in the NGO community as well as those working in government and international organisations. | Climate Change Action and the Responsibility to Protect A Common Cause

Sex and Nothing Bridges from Psychoanalysis to Philosophy

Sex and Nothing Bridges from Psychoanalysis to Philosophy

From its etymological roots sex is related to a scission Latin for sectus secare meaning to divide or cut. Therefore regardless of the various studies applied to defining sex as inscribed by discursive acts i. e. merely a 'performatively enacted signification ' there is something more to sex than just a social construction or an aprioristic substance. Sex is irreducible to meaning or knowledge. This is why psychoanalysis cannot be formulated as an erotology nor a science of sex (scientia sexualis). In this matter sex escapes the symbolic restraints of language; however it is through its failure that it manifests itself through the symbolic e. g. symptoms or dream life. So what is sex? Sex and Nothing embarks upon a dialogue between colleagues and friends interested in bridging psychoanalysis and philosophy linking sex and thought where what emerges is a greater awareness of the irreducucibility of sex to the discourse of knowledge and meaning: in other words sex and nothing. | Sex and Nothing Bridges from Psychoanalysis to Philosophy

From 'People' to 'Citizen' Democracy’s Must Take Road

From 'People' to 'Citizen' Democracy’s Must Take Road

From ‘People’ to ‘Citizen’ brings together social theory with policy practice to enlarge our understanding of the difference that democracy makes to the life of a nation. Unlike nationalism democracy takes our attention away from the past to the future by focusing on the specific concerns of ‘citizenship’. Historical victories or defeats blood and soil are now nowhere as relevant as the creation of a foundational base where individuals have equal and quality access to health education and even urban services. The primary consideration therefore is on empowering ‘citizens’ as a common category and not ‘people’ of any specific community or class. When citizens precede all other considerations the notion of the ‘public’ too gets its fullest expression. Differences between citizens are not denied in fact encouraged but only after achieving a basic unity first. This book argues that the call of citizenship not only advances democracy but social science as well.

Materials for Learning How to Teach Adults at a Distance

Materials for Learning How to Teach Adults at a Distance

Materials for Learning (1981) examines the ability of books and broadcasts to change lives. The combination of print radio television and group meetings – distance teaching – can transform education in developing countries. Effective distance teaching requires effective teaching materials and up to now there has been a lack of guidance about how to produce such materials and how to do so for different cultures. Materials for Learning aims to supply this need by suggesting guidelines for action and where evidence is mixed or lacking defining questions that still require answers. It is a practical book aimed at people actively involved in nonformal education and will be particularly useful for the developing world educators. The book looks first at how distance teaching can help with educational problems considers how adults learn and surveys problems of language and culture. It then considers the planning of distance teaching and looks in detail at the use of different media. There were also chapters on teaching numeracy and science at a distance and a discussion of the kind of support that can be provided for people studying at a distance. | Materials for Learning How to Teach Adults at a Distance
