ISBN: 9780199216543 / Angielski / Miękka / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Why are humans so clever? Social Intelligence explores the idea that this cleverness has evolved through the increasing complexity of social groups. Our ability to understand and control nature is a by-product of our ability to understand the mental states of others and to use this knowledge to co-operate or deceive. These abilities have not emerged out of the blue. They can be found in many social animals that co-operate and compete with one another, birds as well as mammals.
This book brings together contributions from an impressive list of authorities in the field,... Why are humans so clever? Social Intelligence explores the idea that this cleverness has evolved through the increasing complexity of social ...

The Transnational Studies Reader: Intersections and Innovations
ISBN: 9780415953726 / Angielski / Twarda / 592 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In recent years, 'transnationalism' has become a key analytical concept across the social sciences. While theoretical approaches to the study of global social phenomena have traditionally focused on the nation-state as the central defining framework, transnational studies views social experience as a complex and dynamic product of multiple regional, ethnic, and institutional identities. Far from being static or bounded by national borders, social, political, and economic forces operate on supra-national, trans-regional, and trans-local scales and scopes. Transnational studies compares and...

ISBN: 9783836473200 / Angielski / Miękka / 60 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Although the quarterlife crisis is an increasingly recognized social phenomenon, much about this dynamic period in the life course and its impact on individuals remains unknown. How does the quarterlife transition inform individual expectations about future geographic mobility, and are these expectations salient across cultural boundaries? To explore questions such as these, I compare the expected future residential mobility of graduating college students in two different regions: Flanders, Belgium, which is characterized by the retention of young adults, and Upstate New York, which is...

Almost every culture has experienced adaptation and assimilation when immigrating to a new country and culture; usually leaving for what is perceived as a "better life." Not only does this diaspora change the country of adoption, but also the country of origin. Many large nations in the world have absorbed, and continue to absorb, large numbers of immigrants. The foreseeable future will see a continuation of large-scale immigration, as many countries experience civil war and secessionist...
