Family Violence in Cross-Cultural Perspective
ISBN: 9780803930766 / Angielski / Miękka / 1989 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Levinson's study of family violence breaks new ground by taking a global perspective of this social ill. He uses ethnographic work on 90 societies to analyse the incidence, causes and correlates of family violence. Through the use of both quantitative analysis and ethnographic description, he tests the efficacy of various current theories against world-wide family violence data. Among the author's more important conclusions are that women's economic equality and independence reduces family violence and that family violence is clearly correlated with more general violence in a society.

But as Paul Levinson shows in this volume, when it comes to essential aspects of life we prefer to take our bodies with us. Whether it's trains, planes, scooters of pogo sticks, we want to really move through our world. Is planet earth the end of the line, or is space itself the next stop? In an inquiry that ranges from robots to religion, Paul Levinson asks why there is a deep-seated human desire to know what's out there. Full of examples, Realspace asks some searching questions about space and the way we think about it. Why,...

Art At The Margins
ISBN: 9783639173864 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This book is a descriptive and historical study of
how Jennifer Kotter, Ray Materson and Bonnie Peterson, three late 20th century artists, use their experience, objects from everyday life, and the techniques of "womens work" to create "art at the margins." Levinson defines "art at the margins" as art that is perceived to be low art, rather than high art, because the artists use "womens work"-techniques stereotyped with domestic activities and craft. Her discussion focuses on how the artwork remains or transcends its status at the margins and moves among diverse categories of art.... This book is a descriptive and historical study of
