Keeping Families Together: The Homebuilders Model
ISBN: 9780202360676 / Angielski / Twarda / 235 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When a family's problems become so severe that traditional community resources are unable to help them effectively, caseworkers are usually advised to place children outside the home. Family preservation services such as Homebuilders are designed to give caseworkers and families another option: services that are more intensive, accessible, flexible, and goal-oriented than conventional supports. Instead of relieving family pressure by removing a child, the approach described here adds resources to alleviate pressure and to facilitate the development of a nurturing environment for children...

The Rebirth of Private Policing
ISBN: 9780415051927 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Until recently, private policing has been ignored by those pre-occupied with the activities of public police officers. There has been very little discussion of the role of policing, which is carried out by a variety of agents, in relation to the role of the police, a specific group of people. Les Johnston argues that policing, far from being the exclusive preserve of this group, is an activity undertaken by a mixture of public, private, and quasi-private agents. He provides a new view opposed to models of police history which see the emergence of the new police (since 1829) as signalling a...

Modern Homosexualities: Fragments of Lesbian and Gay Experiences
ISBN: 9780415064200 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Homosexuality is not what it used to be. When the modern lesbian and gay movements erupted on the world-wide cultural and political stage during the early 1970s few could have seen the enormous ramifications. For although homosexuality still has its critics and its enemies, the modern lesbian and gay community has proliferated into distinctive ways of living together, of relating sexually, of responding to AIDS, of establishing identities and communities, of being political. Modern Homosexualities documents some of this rich and developing experience. It presents fragments of an experience...

Regulating Bodies : Essays in Medical Sociology
ISBN: 9780415069632 / Angielski / Twarda / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Regulating Bodies provides a framework for the development of a new sub-field, namely the development of the body. Through an examination of various philosophical traditions (phenomenology, philosophical anthropology, structuralism and postmodernism) the author shows how the human body has been ignored or neglected by mainstream social theory. In integrating these different traditions, Turner demonstrates how the absent body has impoverished, not only the sociology of health and illness but the very foundations of sociology itself. In providing a general account of the problem of the body in...

Forster and Lord Reith of the BBC, these interdisciplinary studies scrutinize the children of the Victorians at a time when their private assumptions and public positions were under increasing strain in a rapidly changing world.

ISBN: 9780415076197 / Angielski / Twarda / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Men's domination of the public domain is obvious, yet this is often ignored in social and political analyses. This text examines the problems of public men within public patriarchies. It addresses two central questions. Why and how do men dominate in the public worlds of work, politics and culture? How do these public worlds construct public men and public masculinities in different and changing ways? These questions are examined through a focus on the past, specifically the period 1870-1920, a period of massive growth and transformation in the power of the public domain. A continuing theme...

Testing Giddens' theories against what is happening in the real world from genocide in Africa to near secession in Quebec, Mestrovic discerns in the construction of synthetic traditions not the promise of freedom held out by Giddens...

Prosthetic Culture
ISBN: 9780415102933 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We live in a soceity in which body parts are components in a global traffic of goods, in which some memories can be falsely implanted in the individual, while others are stored outside the individual in video archives. It is the body'a ability to act outside itself both mechanically and perceptually in this way which Celia Lury describes as prosthetic culture. Using examples drawn from phototherapy, accounts of false memory syndrome, family albums, Benetton ads and the lives of cartoon characters, the author argues that the eyes made available by contemporary visual technologies involve not...

Shifting Contexts: Transformations in Anthropological Knowledge
ISBN: 9780415107945 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This text offers a critique of current Western thinking. It does not take it for granted that global and local indicate orders of magnitude or scales of importance. Rather, it addresses the techniques by which people shift the contexts of their knowledge and thus endow phenomena with local or global significance. This book examines certain contexts in which people (including anthropologists) make different orders of knowledge for themselves as a prelude to questioning assumptions about the size of knowledge implied in the contrast between global and local perspectives.
