Noetics is Lawrence Krader s magnum opus, which he began while still an undergraduate philosophy major at the City College of New York in the 1930s. By examining the architectonics of some of the greatest thinkers in history Aristotle, Plato, Descartes, Leibniz, Spinoza, Kant, Hegel, and Husserl among others as works of art combining myth, speculation and empirical science, Krader tackles one of the central problems of the philosophy of science: what is science and how does it relate to human thinking and knowing more generally. Building on his theories concerning the different orders...

A Short Bright Flash: Augustin Fresnel and the Birth of the Modern Lighthouse
ISBN: 9780393350890 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Augustin Fresnel (1788-1827) shocked the scientific elite with his unique understanding of the physics of light. The lens he invented was a brilliant feat of engineering that made lighthouses blaze many times brighter, farther, and more efficiently. Battling the establishment, his own poor health, and the limited technology of the time, Fresnel was able to achieve his goal of illuminating the entire French coast. At first, the British sought to outdo the new Fresnel-equipped lighthouses as a matter of national pride. Americans, too, resisted abandoning their primitive lamps, but the...

The Transnational Studies Reader: Intersections and Innovations
ISBN: 9780415953726 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 592 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In recent years, 'transnationalism' has become a key analytical concept across the social sciences. While theoretical approaches to the study of global social phenomena have traditionally focused on the nation-state as the central defining framework, transnational studies views social experience as a complex and dynamic product of multiple regional, ethnic, and institutional identities. Far from being static or bounded by national borders, social, political, and economic forces operate on supra-national, trans-regional, and trans-local scales and scopes. Transnational studies compares and...

Jews and Feminism: The Ambivalent Search for Home
ISBN: 9780415914451 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. By interrogating America's promise of a home for Jews as citizens of the liberal state, Jews and Feminism questions the very terms of this social "contract." Maintaining that Jews, women, and Jewish women are not necessarily secure within this construction of the state, Laura Levitt links this contractual construction of belonging and acceptance to legacies of marriage as a contractual home for Jewish women.

Reclaiming Development: Independent Thought and Caribbean Community

"For over 20 years, the developing world has been adjusting to the agendas of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. In the 1990s, Structural Adjustment Programmes were repackaged and marketed as the coming of the golden age of globalisation, promising benefits to countries that adopt neo-liberal policies. Whether by convention or apparent absence of viable alternatives, Caribbean governments have been quick to implement policies of deregulation, liberalisation and privatisation. In this they have been supported by their intellectuals who have been equally quick in embracing...

Local Meanings, Global Schooling: Anthropology and World Culture Theory
ISBN: 9781403961631 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 263 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Is there one global culture of schooling, or many national and local cultures? Do educational reforms take school systems on diverging or parallel paths? These case studies from five continents use ethnography and history to challenge the sweeping claims of sociology's world culture theory (neo-institutionalism). They demonstrate how national ministries of education and local schools re-invent every reform. Yet the cases also show that teachers and local reformers operate 'within and against' global models. Anthropologists need to recognize the global presence in local schooling as well as...
