Everyday Intimacy
ISBN: 9783838378152 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Examination of both everyday lay accounts and professional social scientific accounts of intimacy reveals that they all tend to make the same kinds of assumptions about intimacy. For everyday conduct this is wholly unproblematic. However, by taking the recognizability of intimacy for granted they miss how interaction that might be called intimate is actually accomplished. Thus the grounds for many expert claims regarding intimacy are open to question. In this book intimacy is respecified as a topic for investigation. A close analysis of the testimony during the Clinton-Lewinsky affair is...

Employee Benefits as a Competitive Human Resource Strategy
ISBN: 9783838389158 / Angielski / Miękka / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Studies on the use of employee benefits have been carried out mostly in the developed economies. The existing literature on the subject does not reveal any similar study done in developing countries like Kenya. Kenya does not have a social security program and pension is the only form of social and economic security that workers look forward to when they retire. Yet benefits are rarely part of the pensionable compensation. Thus, if Kenyan workers are economically rational, they would prefer a higher basic pay and less benefits in order to boost their pension package. However,...

Agent Agendas in Student Exchanges
ISBN: 9783844381016 / Angielski / Miękka / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Internationalization has become important in a society with increasing globalization. Consequently many international initiatives are taken by educational institutions to increase students intercultural understanding and competence, often appearing in terms of school visits and the European Unions "Socrates Lingua exchanges". However, the question is how students themselves experience such visits and exchanges. This book focuses on Danish business school students taking part in short-stay programmes abroad.

Community Based Biodiversity Management Project- Establishing Baseline
ISBN: 9783843389624 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. One cannot project performance into the future (set targets) without first establishing a baseline. The baseline is the first measurement of an indicator. It sets the current condition against which future change can be tracked. For instance, it helps to inform decisionmakers about current circumstances before embarking on projecting targets for a given program, policy, or project. In this way, the baseline is used to learn about current or recent levels and patterns of performance. Importantly, baselines provide the evidence by which decisionmakers are able to measure subsequent policy,...

Deep Complexity and the Social Sciences: Experience, Modelling and Operationality
ISBN: 9781849800266 / Angielski / Twarda / 496 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this innovative work, Robert Delorme comprehensively explores uncertainty (the irreducibility to numerically measurable probabilities) and ignorance in economics, management and the social sciences through an alternative, systematically built analytical framework. This unique book takes uncertainty and ignorance seriously and addresses them as instances of 'deep complexity' (problem situations so deeply ill-structured that they cannot be grasped with the concepts and tools of classical science). Building on the works of Herbert Simon, Heinz von Foerster and John von Neumann, the author...

Models and Mirrors: Towards an Anthropology of Public Events
ISBN: 9781571811653 / Angielski / Miękka / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Ritual is one of the most discussed cultural practices, yet its treatment in anthropological terms has been seriously limited, characterized by a host of narrow conceptual distinctions. One major reason for this situation has been the prevalence of positivist anthropologies that have viewed and summarized ritual occasions first and foremost in terms of their declared and assumed functions. By contrast, this book, which has become a classic, investigates them as epistemological phenomena in their own right. Comparing public events - a domain which includes ritual and related occasions - the...

ISBN: 9783847307471 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Preterm births (PTB) are the largest obstetrical problem in America. An infants preterm birth presents an extraordinary life situation for fathers, whose voices are rarely heard. A hermeneutic phenomenological approach was used to explore the experience of fathering preterm infants from fathers perspectives. A purposive sample of five fathers of infants born between 24 and 36 weeks gestation participated in three semi-structured interviews over four-months beginning within six months of the birth. Each father took photographs expressing their experience of fathering. Van Manens...

Anthropology and Law
ISBN: 9781571814234 / Angielski / Twarda / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The relationship between Law and Anthropology can be considered as having been particularly intimate. In this book the authors defend their assertion that the two fields co-exist in a condition of "balanced reciprocity" wherein each makes important contributions to the successful practice and theory of the other. Anthropology, for example, offers a cross-culturally validated generic concept of "law," and clarifies other important legal concepts such as "religion" and "human rights." Law similarly illuminates key anthropological ideas such as the "social contract," and provides a uniquely...

The World Ahead: An Anthropologist Anticipates the Future
ISBN: 9781571818171 / Angielski / Twarda / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Born in the first year of the 20th century, it is fitting that Margaret Mead should have been one of the first anthropologists to use anthropological analysis to study the future course of human civilization. This volume collects, for the first time, her writings on the future of humanity and how humans can shape that future through purposeful action. For Mead, the study of the future was born out of her lifelong interest in processes of change. Many of these papers were originally published as conference proceedings or in limited-circulation journals, testimony before government bodies...
