Obama Power
ISBN: 9780745696621 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 140 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What is the source of Obama's power? How is it that, after suffering a humiliating defeat in the 2010 mid-term elections, Obama was able to turn the situation around, deftly outmaneuvering his opponent and achieving a decisive victory in the November 2012 presidential election?
In this short and brilliant book, Jeffrey Alexander and Bernadette Jaworsky argue that neither money nor demography can explain this dramatic turnaround. What made it possible, they show, was cultural reconstruction. Realizing he had failed to provide a compelling narrative of his power, the President began... What is the source of Obama's power?

The Civil Sphere
ISBN: 9780195369304 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 814 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What binds societies together and how can these social orders be structured in a fair way? Jeffrey C. Alexander's masterful work, The Civil Sphere, addresses this central paradox of modern life. Feelings for others--the solidarity that is ignored or underplayed by theories of power or self-interest--are at the heart of this novel inquiry into the meeting place between normative theories of what we think we should do and empirical studies of who we actually are. Solidarity, Alexander demonstrates, creates inclusive and exclusive social structures and shows how they can be repaired. It...

Durkheimian Sociology: Cultural Studies
ISBN: 9780521396479 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The best-known classic works of Emile Durkheim are characterized by a structural approach to the understanding of society, and it is this element of his writings that has been most taken up by modern social science. This volume rejects the dominant structural approach, drawing instead on Durkheim's later work, in which he shifted to a symbolic theory of modern industrial societies that emphasized the importance of ritual to collective behavior. By doing so, the contributors offer not only a radically different interpretation of Durkheim, but also a challenging new way of linking the...

The Meanings of Social Life: A Cultural Sociology
ISBN: 9780195306408 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In The Meanings of Social Life, Jeffrey Alexander presents a new approach to how culture works in contemporary societies. Exposing our everyday myths and narratives in a series of empirical studies that range from Watergate to the Holocaust, he shows how these unseen yet potent cultural structures translate into concrete actions and institutions. Only when these deep patterns of meaning are revealed, Alexander argues, can we understand the stubborn staying power of violence and degradation, but also the steady persistence of hope. By understanding the darker structures that restrict...

The loss of jobs, erosion of our national borders and the death of the dollar are merely fractions of the problems brought upon us by greedy tyrants and America's refusal to repent.
Our children are looking at a bleak future unless we break the grip of oppression and turn our country around right now!

ISBN: 9780595370504 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "Killing Goliath" shouts with fervor about the detrimental and desperate state of humankind in the new Millennium. As tyranny and terror seek to spread fear throughout the entire globe, the need for bold courageous people from all walks of life to stand for righteousness is far beyond imperative in order for true freedom to be realized by all men, women and children. Slavery in all of its despicable forms holds mankind in its grip while glaring menacingly upon those who desire the God given dreams of life, freedom, good health and a place to raise their children. The climax of... "Killing Goliath" shouts with fervor about the detrimental and desperate state of humankind in the new Millennium. As tyranny and terror seek to... |

Liquidity, Interest Rates & Banking
ISBN: 9781606927755 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Liquidity refers to the degree to which an asset or security can be bought or sold in the market without affecting the asset's price. This book provides important evidence on the changes in market liquidity following the transition to electronic trading, and highlights quite different evidence from that presented in previous studies. Liquidity is also examined across different types of markets by using execution costs as a proxy for liquidity. The links between the concept of liquidity and the role of payment systems in a globalized financial system is investigated as well. Furthermore, a...

Do We Need Religion?: On the Experience of Self-Transcendence
ISBN: 9781594514388 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The old assumption that modernization leads to secularization is outdated. Yet the certainty that religion is an anthropological universal that can only be suppressed by governments is also dead. Thus it is now a favorable moment for a new perspective on religion. This book takes human experiences of self-transcendence as its point of departure. Religious faith is seen as an attempt to articulate and interpret such experiences. Faith then is neither useful nor a symptom of weakness or misery, but an opening up of ways of experience. This book develops this basic idea, contrasts it with the...

Brewed in Japan: The Evolution of the Japanese Beer Industry
ISBN: 9780774825054 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Spanning the earliest attempts to brew beer to the recent popularity of local craft brews, Brewed in Japan presents the first English-language exploration of beer's steady rise to become the "beverage of the masses." Alexander underscores the highly receptive nature of Japanese consumers, who adopted and domesticated beer in just a few generations, despite its entirely foreign origins. He also sheds light on the various social, cultural, and financial influences that combined to make beer Japan's leading alcoholic beverage by the 1960s. Japan's beer market is now among the most complex on...

Handbook of Multiple Sclerosis
ISBN: 9781908517494 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Over the past 30 years there have been significant advances in our understanding of multiple sclerosis (MS) due to the use of MRIs to better visualize the disease and because of the introduction of new ameliorating drugs. However, MS is still an incurable disease and diagnosis remains challenging for many physicians; for instance symptoms often mimic MS and there is not a specific test for the disease. To ensure optimal patient care there is a need for physicians to remain up to date with new drugs on the market, disease detection, diagnosis, and latest management options. The Handbook of...

Staging Solidarity: Truth and Reconciliation in a New South Africa
ISBN: 9781594512865 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) is a modern social drama that enabled the nation's apartheid past to be constructed as a cultural trauma, and by doing so created a new collective narrative of diversity and inclusion. The TRC relied primarily on testimonies from victims and perpetrators of apartheid violence who came forward to tell their stories in a public forum. Rather than simply serving as data for setting the historical record straight, this book shows that it was not only the content of these testimonies but also how these stories were told and what values...
