The Reasoning Criminal: Rational Choice Perspectives on Offending
ISBN: 9781412852753 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The assumption that rewards and punishments influence our choices between different courses of action underlies economic, sociological, psychological, and legal thinking about human action. Hence, the notion of a reasoning criminal--one who employs the same sorts of cognitive strategies when contemplating offending as they and the rest of us use when making other decisions--might seem a small contribution to crime control. This conclusion would be mistaken. This volume develops an alternative approach, termed the "rational choice perspective," to explain criminal behaviour. Instead...

The Racing Game
ISBN: 9780202308098 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This study of a unique social world probes beneath the thrill and spectacle of horse racing into the lives of the "honest boys," the "gyps," the "manipulators," the "stoops," and the "Chalk eaters"--the constituents of race track society and the players of the racing game. With scientific precision and journalistic vigor, Scott describes the everyday activities--the objectives and strategies--of those whose lives are organized around track proceedings and who compete with chance and one another. The players in the racing game range from track owners to stable boys, from law enforcers...

Beyond the Power Mystique: Power as Intersubjective Accomplishment
ISBN: 9780791440704 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 338 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Despite the considerable attention given to 'power' by foundational sources such as Machiavelli, Hobbs, Weber, Durkheim, and Marx, and those social theorists who have built on their works, surprisingly little attention has been given to the study of power as an enacted feature of community life. Locating power more directly within a symbolic interactionist framework, Beyond the Power Mystique not only enables scholars to permeate much of the mystique shrouding power but, explicitly viewing power as intersubjective accomplishment, the material presented here fosters a research agenda that is...

The Story of Israel: A Biblical Theology
ISBN: 9780830827480 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Among the several prominent themes in the Bible, the story of Israel is one that has attracted recent attention and study. The biblical story of Israel--in its election, sin, exile and restoration--is a finely articulated drama of the glory and the plight of the universal story of humanity and creation. And the story of Jesus, born from the womb of Israel as its Messiah and true seed of Abraham, provides the redemptive solution to Israel's and the world's plight. This book by C. Marvin Pate, J. Scott Duvall, J. Daniel Hays, E. Randolph Richards, W. Dennis Tucker Jr. and Preben Vang explores...
