Sociology & Empire: The Imperial Entanglements of a Discipline
ISBN: 9780822352792 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 628 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. The revelation that the U.S. Department of Defense had hired anthropologists for its Human Terrain System project assisting its operations in Afghanistan and Iraq caused an uproar that has obscured the participation of sociologists in similar Pentagon-funded projects. As the contributors to "Sociology and Empire" show, such affiliations are not new. Sociologists have been active as advisers, theorists, and analysts of Western imperialism for more than a century.
The collection has a threefold agenda: to trace an intellectual history of sociology as it pertains to empire; to offer empirical... The revelation that the U.S. Department of Defense had hired anthropologists for its Human Terrain System project assisting its operations in Afghanis...

The Devil's Handwriting: Precoloniality and the German Colonial State in Qingdao, Samoa, and Southwest Africa
ISBN: 9780226772431 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 608 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Germany s overseas colonial empire was relatively short lived, lasting from 1884 to 1918. During this period, dramatically different policies were enacted in the colonies: in Southwest Africa, German troops carried out a brutal slaughter of the Herero people; in Samoa, authorities pursued a paternalistic defense of native culture; in Qingdao, China, policy veered between harsh racism and cultural exchange.
Why did the same colonizing power act in such differing ways? In "The Devil s Handwriting," George Steinmetz tackles this question through a brilliant cross-cultural analysis of German...

The Politics of Method in the Human Sciences provides a remarkable comparative assessment of the variations of positivism and alternative epistemologies in the contemporary human sciences. Often declared obsolete, positivism is alive and well in a number of the fields; in others, its influence is significantly diminished. The essays in this collection investigate its mutations in form and degree across the social science disciplines. Looking at methodological assumptions field by field, individual essays address anthropology, area studies, economics, history, the philosophy of science,...

Revolving Vectors with Application to Alternating Current Phenomena (Electrical Engineering)
ISBN: 9781934939291 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The use of complex quantities in the theory of alternating currents was pioneered by Charles Proteus Steinmetz in his work, Alternating Current Phenomena. Early writers used complex quantities to represent vector quantities algebraically. Steinmetz extended the application so as to include harmonic quantities. As many writers in electrical engineering are prone to confuse vector and harmonic quantities, the author thinks it is necessary to distinguish these two uses of complex quantities, and for that purpose he starts with the vector use and later takes up the harmonic use. In many...

Materiality
ISBN: 9780822335306 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Throughout history and across social and cultural contexts, most systems of belief--whether religious or secular--have ascribed wisdom to those who see reality as that which transcends the merely material. Yet, as the studies collected here show, the immaterial is not easily separated from the material. Humans are defined, to an extraordinary degree, by their expressions of immaterial ideals through material forms. The essays in Materiality explore varied manifestations of materiality from ancient times to the present. In assessing the fundamental role of materiality in shaping...
