Scrapbooks, Snapshots and Memorabilia: Hidden Archives of Performance
ISBN: 9783034303903 / Angielski / Miękka / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Scrapbooks, Snapshots and Memorabilia: Hidden Archives of Performance asks the questions: What constitutes an archive? What is worthy of being archived? And who decides? Performances are ephemeral, so archival questions of selection and appraisal determine which performances will be remembered by history and which will not.
The essays in this collection each explore a different facet of the ephemerality of performance, and the traces it leaves behind: from photographic stills of actors or sets; draft scripts and production notes, theatre programs and reviews; the language used to...

Seven Going on Seventeen: Tween Studies in the Culture of Girlhood
ISBN: 9780820467719 / Angielski / Miękka / 359 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The tween is the -new girl on the block- in girlhood studies. Although the study of tween life may have derived from a particular marketing orientation at the end of the twentieth century, it is not limited by it. On the contrary, this collection of essays shows that -tween- is not a simple or unified concept, nor is it limited to a certain class of girls in a few countries. This collection by an international group of authors highlights specific methodologies for working with (and studying) tween-age girls, provides challenges to the presumed innocence of girlhood, and engages in an analysis...

In The False Promises of Constructivist Theories of Learning: A Global and Ecological Critique, C. A. Bowers examines why constructivist-based educational reforms fail to take into account these current critical issues: the deepening ecological crisis, globalization, and undermining of the world s diverse cultural commons. Special attention is given to the ethnocentrism and Social Darwinism that created the foundations for the ideas of Dewey, Piaget, and Freire. Also considered is how the neo-liberal promoters of economic globalization share their taken-for-granted assumptions....

Post-Soviet Conflicts Revisited
ISBN: 9783631626382 / Angielski / Twarda / 253 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Chad Dell deftly details a 1950s revolution in the making: millions of women of all ages flocked to wrestling arenas across the country, drawn to a parade of glistening bodies, purple satin capes and characters such as Gorgeous George and Killer Kowalski while millions more roared their approval as they watched on television.

Beyond Civilization to Post-Civilization: Conceiving a Better Model of Life Settlement to Supersede Civilization
ISBN: 9780820481708 / Angielski / Twarda / 203 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The seemingly preposterous thesis that civilization is as evil and as good as barbarity and that civilization will not last is contrary to the conventional wisdom held by many in much of human history. Yet, one needs only to examine human history to see that almost all of the most inhumane chapters have been committed not by those in -barbaric- hunting/gathering societies, but by those in -civilized- agrarian, then industrial, and later post-industrial societies all in the intoxicating name of -civilization.- The very ideal of civilization seems in deep crisis. Is there something...

Power, Teaching, and Teacher Education: Confronting Injustice with Critical Research and Action
ISBN: 9781433121432 / Angielski / Miękka / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This collection of essays frames the work of teachers and teacher educators within a struggle over what it means to educate a highly diverse public. Visions for public education, as shaped by progressivism and the Civil Rights movements, have emphasized preparation of all children and youth for participation in a diverse democracy. This vision is being challenged by neoliberalism, which frames education as a commodity to be acquired for individual advancement within a competitive marketplace, and as an arena for profit-making. In this book, Sleeter connects incisive conceptual analyses,...

The Evolution of Exudativory in Primates
ISBN: 9781461426738 / Angielski / Miękka / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. I first became involved in research into primate behavior and ecology in 1968, over 40 years ago, driven by a quest for a better understanding of the natural context of primate evolution. At that time, it was virtually unknown that primates can exploit exudates as a major food source. I was certainly unaware of this myself. By good fortune, I was awarded a postdoctoral grant to work on lemurs with Jean-Jacques Petter in the general ecology division of the Museum National d Histoire Naturelle in Brunoy, France. This provided the launching-pad for my first field study of lesser mouse lemurs in...

Our Political Nature: The Evolutionary Origins of What Divides Us
ISBN: 9781616148232 / Angielski / Twarda / 543 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The first book to tell the natural history of political orientations.
"Our Political Nature"is the first book to reveal the hidden roots of our most deeply held moral values. It shows how political orientations across space and time arise from three clusters of measurable personality traits. These clusters entail opposing attitudes toward tribalism, inequality, and differing perceptions of human nature. Together, these traits are by far the most powerful cause of left-right voting, even leading people to regularly vote against their economic interests. As this book explains, our...

ISBN: 9781617038389 / Angielski / Miękka / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Realism for the Masses is an exploration of how the concept of realism entered mass culture, and from there, how it tried to remake -America.- The literary and artistic creations of American realism are generally associated with the late nineteenth century. But this book argues that the aesthetic actually saturated American culture in the 1930s and 1940s and that the left social movements of the period were in no small part responsible. The book examines the prose of Carlos Bulosan and H. T. Tsiang; the photo essays of Margaret Bourke-White in Life magazine; the bestsellers...

Corbett Mack: The Life of a Northern Paiute
ISBN: 9780874179156 / Angielski / Miękka / 390 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Corbett Mack (1892 1974), was a Northern Paiute of mixed ancestry, caught between Native American and white worlds. A generation before, his tribe had brought forth the prophet Wovoka, whose Ghost Dance swept the Indian world in the 1890s. Mack s world was a harsh and bitter place after the last Native American uprisings had been brutally crushed; a life of servitude to white farmers and addiction to opium. Hittman uses Mack s own words to retell his story, an uncompromising account of a traumatized life that typified his generation, yet nonetheless made meaningful through the perseverance of...
