Since the turn of the Millennium, microinsurance has grown to significant prominence in the development discourse.

This PhD contributes to answering these...

Informal Medicine and biomedicine
ISBN: 9783639134490 / Angielski / Miękka / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Informal medicinal knowledge has been denied as a legitimate form of knowledge for decades within the global medical paradigm.

Aesthetics
ISBN: 9783639295917 / Angielski / Miękka / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Anthropology, the use of the term Aesthetics has been the object of intense debate. It has been argued that Aesthetics refers to a Western philosophy that stands for concepts such as Art and Beauty, and therefore the category can not be cross-culturally applied. However, this way of thought is highly imprecise because the exact definition of the term is things perceived. Aesthetics refers to every area of human life in which individuals are able to apprehend their world through their senses. In order for this to happen, cognition plays a crucial role. Through the analogical thought...

Bollywood Weddings: Dating, Engagement, and Marriage in Hindu America
ISBN: 9780739138557 / Angielski / Miękka / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Bollywood Weddings examines how middle to upper class second-generation Indian-American Hindus negotiate wedding rituals, including the dating and engagement processes. Many of these couples are (in Ramdya's neologism) 'occasional Hindus' who display their Hindu religious background only on important occasions such as the rite of passage that is marriage. These couples (and their extended families) negotiate two vastly different cultures and sets of values inside a community that has itself largely pre-determined how to mix American and Indian/Hindu elements into this ritual. As a rule, the...

The Vitality of Local Conflict Resolution Institutions Among the Afar
ISBN: 9783639295832 / Angielski / Miękka / 148 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book attempts to explore vitality of local institutions of conflict resolution among the Afar of Samu Robi Woreda. Most academic literatures argue that local institutions in general and institutions of conflict resolution in particular are either integrated, co-opted or totally uprooted with the emergence of state run institutions. However, recent literatures refute this state-centric approach arguing that local institutions of conflict resolution are not always co-opted, rather they sustain their vitality besides the presence of state institutions. The viewpoint of the latter...

ISBN: 9789048145515 / Angielski / Miękka / 585 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In Everyday Conceptions of Emotion, prominent anthropologists, linguists and psychologists come together for the first time to discuss how emotions are conceptualised by people of different cultures and ages, speaking different languages. Anger, fear, jealousy and emotion itself are concepts that are bound up with the English language, embedded in a way of thinking, acting and speaking. At the same time, the metaphors underlying such concepts are often similar across languages, and children of different cultures follow common developmental pathways. The book thus discusses the...

In doing so, the book captures the new era of AIDS from multiple... In the mid-1990s new treatment options introduced a new era of AIDS.

Our purpose in assembling the papers in this collection is to introduce readers to studies of normal and abnormal behavior in Chinese culture.

Contradictions of Archaeological Theory: Engaging Critical Realism and Archaeological Theory
ISBN: 9780415591270 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Sandra Wallace argues that archaeological theory has become mired as a result of logical and ontological contradictions. By showing that these contradictions are a result of common underlying philosophical assumptions and fallacies this book is able to show how a fresh approach to this discipline is necessary to resolve them, even if this requires re-examining some of the tenants of orthodox archaeology. This fresh approach is achieved by using Critical Realism as an under labourer to philosophically evaluate archaeological theory. Starting by assessing the historical impact of philosophy on...
