While the environment has been a perennial theme in human thought, it is clear that the present human generation is faced with a series of unprecedented environmental dilemmas, which have ensured that the environment and how we value, use and think about it, has become increasingly central and important in recent social theory.
A wide ranging introduction to the ways in which the environment has been used and abused, constructed and contested within social theory, this revised second edition contains new and updated material in every chapter, including:
  • a greater discussion of the Frankfurt school/critical theory
  • a new chapter on Left and Right-wing theoretical reactions to environmental crisis and politics
  • expanded coverage of ecological economics
  • new sections on risk, trust and technology and critiques of the risk society.

Investigating the environment within the history of social theory, Barry examines gender, the environment and economic thought, risk society and postmodern approaches to the environment, and green social theory. Broad in scope, this text provides the student with an indispensable guide to the way in which the environment and social theory relate to one another. ]]> http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/0203946928/Barry,-John-Environment-and-Social-Theory-(Adobe-Reader).html Thu, 28 Aug 2008 18:08:59 GMT http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/0203946928/Barry,-John-Environment-and-Social-Theory-(Adobe-Reader).html McKernan, James Curriculum and Imagination (Adobe Reader) eBook McKernan, James Curriculum and Imagination (Adobe Reader)

Opening Up the Conversation leads practicing and preservice K-12 teachers through the process of creating more open, student centered discourse in their classrooms. Readers are first generally introduced to types of teacher questions, student responses, and teacher follow up moves that are associated with both open and closed discourse. Author John Henning then helps readers identify the most likely places for open and closed classroom discourse by examining an entire unit of instruction and by looking closely at three distinct types of discussionsframing, conceptual, and application. Readers are introduced to specific discourse moves, the patterns of discussion, the amount of preparation, and the types of accountability strategies needed to construct each of these discussions. The final chapter of the book shows readers how to videotape and analyze their classroom interactions in a teacher study group. ]]> http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/0203935896/Henning,-John-The-Art-of-Discussion-Based-Teaching-(Adobe-Reader).html Thu, 28 Aug 2008 18:08:59 GMT http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/0203935896/Henning,-John-The-Art-of-Discussion-Based-Teaching-(Adobe-Reader).html Lawrence, William Novotny Blaxploitation Films of the 1970s (Adobe Reader) eBook Lawrence, William Novotny Blaxploitation Films of the 1970s (Adobe Reader)
During the early years of the motion picture industry, black performers were often depicted as shuckin and jivin caricatures. Specifically, black males were portrayed as toms, coons and bucks, while the mammy and tragic mulatto archetypes circumscribed black femininity. This misrepresentation began to change in the 1950s and 1960s when performers such as Dorothy Dandridge and Sidney Poitier were cast in more positive roles. These performers paved the way for the black exploitation or blaxploitation movement, which began in 1970 and flourished until 1975. The movement is characterized by films that feature a black hero or heroine, black supporting characters, a predominately black urban setting, a display of black sexuality, excessive violence, and a contemporary rhythm and blues soundtrack. Blaxploitation films were made across varying genres, but the questionable elements of some of the pictures caused them to be referred to as blaxploitation films with little or no regard given to their generic categorization. ]]> http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/0203932226/Lawrence,-William-Novotny-Blaxploitation-Films-of-the-1970s-(Adobe-Reader).html Thu, 28 Aug 2008 18:08:59 GMT http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/0203932226/Lawrence,-William-Novotny-Blaxploitation-Films-of-the-1970s-(Adobe-Reader).html Information and Communication Technologies in Rural Society (Adobe Reader) eBook Information and Communication Technologies in Rural Society (Adobe Reader)

Projected Shadows presents a new collection of essays exploring films from a psychoanalytic perspective, focusing specifically on the representation of loss in European cinema. This theme is discussed in its many aspects, including: loss of hope and innocence, of youth, of consciousness, of freedom and loss through death. Many other themes familiar to psychoanalytic discourse are explored in the process, such as:
  • Establishment and resolution of Oedipal conflicts
  • Representation of pathological characters on the screen
  • Use of unconscious defence mechanisms
  • The interplay of dreams, reality and fantasy

Projected Shadows aims to deepen the ongoing constructive dialogue between psychoanalysis and film. Andrea Sabbadini has assembled a remarkable number of internationally renowned contributors, both academic film scholars and psychoanalysts from a variety of cultural backgrounds, who use an array of contemporary methodologies to apply psychoanalyticthinking to film.

This original collection will appeal to anyone passionate about film, as well as professionals, academics and students interested in the relationship between psychoanalysis and the arts. ]]> http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/0203946863/--Projected-Shadows-(Adobe-Reader).html Thu, 28 Aug 2008 18:08:59 GMT http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/0203946863/--Projected-Shadows-(Adobe-Reader).html Hammersley, Martyn Ethnography (Adobe Reader) eBook Hammersley, Martyn Ethnography (Adobe Reader)

In the third part of the nineteenth century, social scientific branches of learning such as sociology and anthropology gradually established themselves as academic disciplines. The transformation of the human sciences into the social sciences was closely linked to attempts to develop and implement methods for dealing with social tensions and the rationalization of society. This book discusses the sociological-philosophical paradigm of Georg Simmel and the anthropological paradigm of Franz Boasboth of whom played a crucial role in shaping the course of academic social scienceand compares their respective general epistemological considerations and their notions of assimilation. Morris-Reich demonstrates that the different appreciations of the Jews' contemporary situation and the different prognoses of their future in general society are closely linked to internal disciplinary-paradigmatic considerations. This conceptual model gives a new key to pivotal issues in recent Jewish history and in the history of the social sciences. ]]> http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/0203932129/Morris-Reich,-Amos-The-Quest-for-Jewish-Assimilation-in-Modern-Social-Science-(Adobe-Reader).html Thu, 28 Aug 2008 18:08:59 GMT http://www.ebooksabouteverything.com/ebooks/item/0203932129/Morris-Reich,-Amos-The-Quest-for-Jewish-Assimilation-in-Modern-Social-Science-(Adobe-Reader).html
