Unlearning the Colonial Cultures of Planning
ISBN: 9780754649885 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Colonialization has never failed to provoke discussion and debate over its territorial, economic and political projects, and their ongoing consequences.

Planning was used to appropriate and then produce territory for management by the state and in doing so, became central to the colonial invasion of settler states. Moreover, the book demonstrates how the colonial roots of planning endure in complex (post)colonial societies and how such...

Science, Ethics, and Politics: Conversations and Investigations
ISBN: 9781594519970 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Science and ethics are not usual bedfellows.

Courses on ethics usually stress the classics, telling students of the works of Kant or the Utilitarians, for example, and then posing ethical dilemmas to help the student work through the process of moral choice informed by knowledge of the canon in ethics. In this volume, we take a different tack. We present work that utilizes the tools of science-broadly conceptualized-to elucidate ethical issues, assuming that careful...
