Schools for All: A Nordic Model. | This book presents a detailed analysis of the educational model in Nordic European countries. It describes the traditional idea of education for all, which can be characterized by the right for every child to have an education of equal quality in a common school for all pupils regardless of social class, abilities, gender, or ethnicity.  Against this background, The Nordic Education Model traces the rise of neo-liberal policies that have been enacted by those who believe the School for All ideology does not produce the knowledge and skills that students need to succeed in an increasingly competitive and global marketplace. It examines the conflict between these two ideas and shows how neo-liberal technologies affect the Nordic model in different ways.The authors also show how social technologies are being interpreted in different ways in actual school practices. This process of translating national regulations into internal sense builds on the values in the culture to which they are introduced. In the end, this book reveals that a Nordic model can constitute a delicate balance between traditional values, institutionalized practices, and contemporary, neo-liberal forms of governance and policies. It may be argued from a new institutional perspective that the main structures of the Nordic educational model will sustain as long as the deeply rooted Nordic culture survives in the globalised society. | <p>Examines the conflict between the traditional School for all model and more recent neo-liberal policies </p><p>Shows that neo-liberal technologies affect the Nordic model in different ways</p><p>Describes, analyzes and discusses a Nordic vision in relation to international trends</p><p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

It shows how DEUs work and explains the concept, philosophy, principles, practical implementation and first-hand experiences of this ground-breaking, global work-integrated learning strategy. It presents the benefits of DEUs and offers insight into how DEUs can provide real options for solving the increasingly complex dilemma of providing more students with more experiences of hands-on practice while reducing costs and ensuring greater numbers of work ready graduates. The book serves as a reference for nurse student education and is particularly salient for those setting up a DEU. It can be used as a springboard for work-integrated learning innovations for all practice-based disciplines.Dedicated Education Units (DEU) provide a flexible clinical learning strategy with a focus on founding principles and adaptation to different clinical contexts rather than a concrete model for clinical learning. DEUs are essentially clinical environments in which students develop a sense of security to explore learning opportunities, knowing there are people present who will ensure they do not make intractable errors; people who will guide and support them to achieve optimal learning. Whilst developed initially for nurse education, DEUs can be adapted to other professional learning settings. | <p>Offers unique, first-hand clinician, student, academic and management evaluations and experiences of Dedicated Education Units (DEUs)   </p><p>Gives practical examples of the processes, structure and resources needed to develop and run DEUs in varied contexts    </p><p>Blends pedagogy with the lived experiences of those working with DEUs in Australia, New Zealand, the USA and Sweden ​</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

The Third Model is implemented in an alternative classroom called Community of Thinking. Teaching and learning in a Community of Thinking is based on three 'stations': the fertile question; research; and concluding performance. The essence of a Community of Thinking is the formation of a group of students and teachers who grapple with a troubling question to which they do not know the answer at the outset – and sometimes even at the end of their investigation.

It investigates the historical roots of further and adult education and identifies how the adoption of citizenship education in the post-compulsory sector can enrich vocational studies in further education and programmes in adult education. It is argued that democratic colleges are vital to ensure that citizenship education informs the decision-making process throughout educational institutions (and as a means of establishing fair and equal representation for important stakeholders). The author has worked in both sectors for over a decade, and uses this experience to offer a blend of educational practice and philosophical investigation. The result is a work that appeals to both teachers in further and adult education as well as academics and students interested in philosophy of education.​ | Clear linking of theory to educational practice regarding citizenship education in both further and adult education<br><br>Strong philosophical and historical underpinning<br><br>Includes a discussion of current policies in further and adult education<br><br>Explores an area currently neglected within the educational and philosophical literature ​ | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Researching Lexical Availability in L2: some Methodological Issues. | ​ This volume contributes to the research in two different research areas: lexical availability studies and vocabulary research in second or foreign languages. Lexical availability is defined as the words that immediately come to mind as a response to a stimulus provided by topics related to domains closely connected to daily life: for instance animals, food and drink, daily activities, politics, or poverty. Lexical availability is a dimension of learners’ receptive and productive lexical competence, and, consequently, an important variable of learners’ communicative competence. Written by leading researchers in Spanish and English applied linguistics, the studies presented in this volume offer the reader findings and insights from studies conducted in learners with different mother tongues, who learn English or Spanish as their second or third language. “This book made me aware of an approach to vocabulary acquisition which has a long tradition in European research, but has been somewhat neglected by English-speaking researchers. The methodology was pioneered in France where it developed into the Francais Fondamental project - an influential approach to the vocabulary needs of learners of French. It was also taken up by Spanish researchers, and more recently developed by the team at La Rioja University. Where English-language research has focused on the frequency of words in large corpora and the implications of this feature for L2 vocabulary acquisition, the lexical availability tradition takes a much more learner-centred approach to L2 vocabulary skills, directly reflecting learners' needs and learners' ability to do things with small, effective vocabularies. This leads to a set of research priorities that look refreshingly different from the ones we are used to. Read this book. It might change the way you think about vocabulary research.” [NAME], Swansea University, Wales, UK | <p>​A timely volume on lexical availability in learners of English or Spanish as a second or third language </p><p>Integrates studies on lexical availability in two of the world's most widely spoken languages </p><p>Using original data from learners of English or Spanish in Chile, Great Britain, Poland, Slovenia, and Spain</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Countries, zones and cities are trying to position themselves as reputed centres for higher education and research.  But given higher education’s current preoccupation with competitiveness, branding, and economic  benefits are education hubs merely a fad, a branding exercise, or are they an important innovation worthy of serious investment and attention?  This book tries to answer the question through a systematic and comparative analysis of the rationales, actors, policies, plans and accomplishments for six serious country level education hubs - United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Singapore and Botswana . The in-depth case studies shows that 'one size does not fit all'. A variety of factors drive countries to prepare and position themselves as an education hub. They include income generation, soft power, modernization of domestic tertiary education sector, economic competitiveness, need for trained work force, and most importantly a desire to move towards a knowledge or service based economy. In response to these different motivations, three different types of education hubs are being developed: the student hub, talent hub, and knowledge/innovation hub.[NAME], policy makers, professionals, students and senior decision makers from education, economics, geography, public policy, trade, migration will find that this book challenges some assumptions about crossborder education and provides new insights and information. | <p>The first systematic study completed on the new development of International Education Hubs </p><p>Presents evidence and analysis supporting the finding that there are three types of International Education Hubs emerging: Student, Talent and Knowledge-Innovation</p><p>Wide geographic coverage - includes analysis of 10 education hubs in Asia, Africa and the Gulf region </p><p>Places the development of education hubs within the broader frameworks of crossborder education and internationalization</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Conclusions: The contribution of SPRinG to knowledge about collaborative group work. | This book offers a challenge to traditional approaches to classroom teaching and pedagogy. The SPRinG (Social Pedagogic Research into Groupwork) project, part of a larger research programme on teaching and learning funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC), was developed to enhance the learning potential of pupils working in classroom groups by actively involving teachers in a programme designed to raise levels of group work during typical classroom learning activities. Internationally, the SPRinG project is the largest evaluation of effective group working methods in comparison to traditional teaching, with findings that show raised levels of pupil achievement and a doubling of sustained, active engagement in learning. The opening chapters present arguments regarding the relationship of social interaction and children’s cognitive development and examine theories that explain why social interactional processes should be integrated into primary school pedagogic practices.  Next, the book describes the conceptual and methodological basis for the SPRinG studies, especially its focus on the relational approach, the type of involvement of teachers and classroom planning. Further chapters present key results and describe the background and methods used to establish SPRinG-based effects on pupil progress in mathematics, literacy and science, including both macro and micro assessments; how the SPRinG approach affected pupil-pupil interactions and teacher-pupil interactions, as measured by systematic on-the-spot observations and analyses of videotapes of groups working on specially designed tasks work; and effects on pupil self-completed measures of motivation and attitudes to group work.The book also analyses reflections of teachers who have worked with SPRinG: moving from theory to practice as well as adding insights associated with implementing SPRinG principles in schools. Drawing upon developmental psychological, social psychological and classroom research, it develops a new and ambitious social pedagogic approach to classroom learning, with a stress on group work, which will be of interest to researchers, teachers and policy-makers.This book includes contributions from [NAME] and [NAME], who were also involved in the ScotSPRinG and SPRinG projects. | <p>Offers a major contribution to understanding and evidence on collaborative group work that challenges traditional approaches to teaching and pedagogy<br>Develops a new and ambitious social pedagogic approach to classroom learning and group work<br>Makes a substantial contribution to our knowledge of teaching and learning, particularly in the context of seeking more active forms of learning using more diverse forms of pedagogy</p><p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Often missing from the literature are in-depth, explicit discussions of why and how educators choose to provide certain experiences and resources for the teachers with whom they work, and the resulting outcomes.  The first half of this book will enable science and environmental educators to share the nature and structure of large scale professional development projects while discussing the theoretical commitments that undergird their work. Many chapters will include temporal aspects that present the ways in which projects change over time in response to evaluative research and practical experience. In the second half of the book, faculty and others whose focus is on national and international scales will share the ways in which they are working to meet the growing needs of teachers across the globe to incorporate geospatial technology into their science teaching. These efforts reflect the ongoing conversations in science education, geography, and the geospatial industry in ways that embody the opportunities and challenges inherent to this field.  This edited book will serve to define the field of teacher professional development for teaching science using geospatial technology. As such, it will identify short term and long term objectives for science, environmental, and geography educators involved in these efforts. As a result, this book will provide a framework for future projects and research in this exciting and growing field. | <P>Fills in gap in literature on the emerging and rapidly growing field of geospatial technology in classroom settings</P> <P>Geospatial technology is highly motivational for students and builds their skills in data analysis, problem solving, and spatial thinking</P> <P>First resource that relates specifically to teaching science with geospatial technology</P> <P>First volume to explore design principles of teacher professional development in the context of geospatial technology</P> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

This has led to a growing institutional differentiation in many higher education systems. This differentiation has certainly contributed to making the institutional landscape more diverse across and within higher education systems. This book covers this diversity. Each part corresponds to a different but complementary way of looking at reforms and highlights what can be learnt on specific cases by adopting a specific perspective. The first part analyzes the ongoing reforms and their evolution, identifies their internal contradictions, as well as the redefinitions and reorientations they experience, and reveals the ideas, representations, ideologies and theories on which they are built. The second part includes comparison between countries but also other comparative perspectives such as how one reform is developed in different regions of the same country, as well as how comparable reforms are declined to different sectors. The last part addresses the impact of the reforms. What is known about the effectiveness of such instruments on higher education systems? This part shows that reforms provoke new power games and reconfigure power relations. | Entails case studies of higher education policies from construction to implementation<br>Offers a mix of conceptual papers and empirical approaches that illustrate the proposed conceptual perspectives<br>Adopts a comparative approach regarding reforms in higher education | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

A teaching qualification is a passport to an international professional career: the global teacher is found in more and more classrooms around the world today. It is a two-way movement. This book looks at the growing importance of immigrant teachers in western countries today and at teachers who exit from western countries (emigrant teachers) seeking teaching experience in other countries. Drawing on the international literature in Europe, North America, Asia and elsewhere supplemented by rich insights derived from recent Australian research, the book outlines the personal, institutional and structural processes nationally and internationally underlying the increasing global circulation of teachers. It identifies the key drivers of global teacher mobility:  a range of factors including family, lifestyle, classroom experience, travel, opportunities for advancement, discipline, linguistic skills, taxation rates, cultural factors and institutional frameworks and policy support. The book is the first detailed contemporary account of the experiences of Australian immigrant and emigrant teachers in the schools and communities where they teach and live. It makes an important and original theoretical and empirical contribution to the contemporary fields of sociology of education and immigration studies. | <p>The first detailed contemporary account of the experiences of global teachers in Australia</p><p>Important text for the fields of sociology of education and immigration studies for undergraduate and postgraduate levels</p><p>Contributes to the international literature across the globe regarding the mobility of professionals</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Humane Education in the Early Childhood Science Curriculum; [NAME] Epilogue: The Promise of Humane Education in the Early Years; [NAME]. | In response to highly publicized incidents of school violence, educators across the United States and in many other nations are seeking effective ways to prevent and modify aggressive and anti-social behaviors in students. One of the major recommendations of the research is that efforts to prevent cruelty need to begin early, during the early childhood years of birth through age eight. The focus of Teaching Compassion: Humane Education in Early Childhood is guiding young children to accept responsibility for and to be kind in their interactions with fellow human beings, animals and the environment. Although humane education is a relatively new concept in the field of early childhood education, professionals in the field are very familiar with many of the related concepts, including: promoting positive interpersonal interactions, teaching children the skills of self-regulation, giving children experience in caring for living things and protecting the environment. This edited volume is an interdisciplinary compendium of professional wisdom gathered from experts in the fields of education, child development, science, psychology, sociology and humane organizations. As the book amply documents, the concept of humane education is powerful, integrative, timely and appropriate in work with young children.Teaching Compassion: Humane Education in Early Childhood shows how it is possible for adults dedicated to the care and education of young children to balance attention to the cognitive and affective realms and, in so doing, to elevate the overall quality of early childhood programs for children, families and communities. | <p>Shows how infusing humane education into the curriculum teaches children to be kind</p><p>Offers ideas to support the goal of promoting positive behavior in the very young</p><p>One of the first books to show what humane education in early childhood looks like in classrooms, teacher preparation and in the community</p><p>Gathers together the interdisciplinary perspectives of professionals dedicated to the care and education of the very young</p><p>Shows how the concept of humane education emphasizes both cognitive and affective goals </p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Teaching and Research: A Vulnerable Linkage?; Teichler and [NAME]. | This book discusses how teaching and research have been weighted differently in academia in 18 countries and one region, Hong Kong SAR, based on an international comparative study entitled the Changing Academic Profession (CAP). It addresses these issues using empirical evidence, the CAP data. Specifically, the focus is on how teaching and research are defined in each higher education system, how teaching and research are preferred and conducted by academics, and how academics are rewarded by their institution.   Since the establishment of Berlin University in 1810, there has been controversy on teaching and research as the primary functions of universities and academics. The controversy increased when Johns Hopkins University was established in 1876 with only graduate programs, and more recently with the release of the Carnegie Foundation report Scholarship Reconsidered by [NAME] in 1990. Since the publication of Scholarship Reconsidered in 1990, higher education scholars and policymakers began to pay attention to the details of teaching and research activities, a kind of ‘black box’ because only individual academics know how they conduct teaching and research in their own contexts. | <p>Focuses on how teaching and research are defined in each higher education system   </p><p>Addresses the issue of the teaching and research nexus by using comparative data   </p><p>Addresses the way academics are evaluated and rewarded by their institutions   </p><p>Discusses how recent changes in governance and management affect academics’ teaching and research activities    </p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Empirically, it aims to fill a gap in our knowledge of the privatization of HE in North China. To this end, I chose Beijing as a case for analysis and visited nine institutes of HE. The case study strategy is also complemented by an extensive review of national policies to reveal problems beyond the specific case of Beijing and of national concern. The effects of the cultural and socio-economic background and the unique state-party controlling system on HE management will be stressed. Conceptually, most existing studies on the privatization of HE in China adopt a policy analysis approach, while research on the privatization of other public sectors or in other countries is frequently guided by economic theories. This book thus tries to combine both social policy and econometric approaches to provide a systematic and detailed investigation of the privatization process in the context of HE. It also examines the extent to which “western” theories are applicable in the Chinese context. | <p>First book on privatization of Higher Education in North China Highlights on the unique political, economic and cultural background of China </p><p>Focus on different practices of and rationales behind the privatization of Higher Education in China </p><p>Challenge to the existing assumption on this Higher Education governance change ​</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

This research investigated the major conflicts that arose in the process of initiation and implementation of the Yuanpei program, how these conflicts evolved during the process, and what were the sources of these conflicts. The conflict model, primarily derived from conflict theory, was adopted to interpret and analyze the process of curriculum innovation in this context.   The study employed a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected primarily through interviews, observations and document analysis. The administrators, teachers and students were interviewed to gain insight into major conflicts arose, their processes and sources in process of the curriculum innovation. The researcher primarily observed program practices and operations, including program setting, the human, social environment (how participants interact and communicate), and program activities and participant behaviors. The researcher distinguished between conceptual conflicts and practical conflict in light of the different stages in which conflicts emerged. The researcher mainly identified three conceptual conflicts that represent the focus of debates: first, the two opposing opinions on how to balance between general education and specialized education; second, potential incongruence in the idea of the Yuanpei program; third, conflict between the changing need of society and traditional system of training. The researcher summarized four categories of practical conflicts in light of various issues: free-course selection, free-major selection, faculty advisor as well as general education elective courses, in each of which sub-themes were identified and analyzed.   The researcher described how both conceptual and practical conflicts evolved. Each major conceptual conflict seems to go through similar stages based on the data, involving issue, confrontation and integration of claims of both sides. For practical conflicts, factors contributing to the escalation and de-escalation, moderation of conflicts were found by the researcher. The research identified different roles, incompatible values, contested resources and structural constraints as the main sources of conflict. Any conflict may involve more than one category or may be mainly due to one category.   As such, the study is exploratory and contributes to the scholarship on educational change through its analysis of the curriculum innovation for general education in Peking University. | Provide useful experience in general education curriculum innovations for Chinese educators <br>Help readers better understand the innovation process in Peking University <br>Helped identify and illuminate many salient issues that are essential to the success of general education innovations in Chinese universities | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

It looks firstly to the nature and purpose of the blood-tie as a unique item of birthright heritage, whose socio-cultural value perhaps lies mainly in preventing, or perhaps engendering, a feared or revered sense of ‘otherness.’ It then traces the evolution of the various policies on ‘telling’ and accessing truth, tying these to the diverse body of psychological theories on the need for unbroken attachments and the harms of being origin deprived.   The ‘law’ of the blood-tie comprises of several overlapping and sometimes conflicting strands: the international law provisions and UNCRC Country Reports on the child’s right to identity, recent Strasbourg case law, and domestic case law from a number of jurisdictions on issues such as legal parentage, vetoes on post-adoption contact, court-delegated decision-making, overturned placements and the best interests of the relinquished child.  The text also suggests a means of preventing the discriminatory effects of denied ancestry, calling upon domestic jurists, legislators, policy-makers and parents to be mindful of the long-term effects of genetic ‘kinlessness’ upon origin deprived persons, especially where they have been tasked with protecting this vulnerable section of the population. | <p>Collates and analyses current law and policies on the right to genetic ancestry </p><p>Provides guidance/reference to legal and social work practitioners and to scholars/students </p><p>Of interest to adoptees, donor-gamete conceived persons and genetic relatives affectes by vetoes on information disclosure/contact​</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

This book argues that the universality of basic human rights is one of the values of the concept of rights. It points out the risk of a certain “inflation” caused by the current habit of talking so much and so often about human rights and of using them as a basis for claims of various kinds. These rights, their understanding and interpretation may need to become more “purist” to ensure that universal human rights as a concept survive.Another chapter concentrates on the analysis of the frames of “EU protected human rights” from the perspective of effective implementation.Further, the book not only deals with the complicated relations between the EU and international law, but also seeks to show the horizontal effect. To that end, the fears and hopes of the member states and interest groups are categorized and commented on. Lastly, the gaps in theory and practice are addressed, current trends related to implementation are pointed out, and suggestions are made concerning how to make the best out of the Charter. | <p>Systematic overview of all the rights covered by the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights </p><p>Analysis of the constitutional problems and institutional framework </p><p>Recommendations for practitioners </p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

In particular the book focuses on situations where port states have used their jurisdiction over visiting foreign-flagged vessels to apply unilateral domestic law, as compared with the internationally-agreed standards enforced by regional port state control organisations. To illustrate the legal issues involved three recent pieces of legislation are analysed in detail: the United States' Cruise Vessel Security and Safety Act 2010, the EU's liability insurance directive of 2009, and Australia's Fair Work Act 2009. Key issues include the legality of port states’ attempts to regulate aspects of a vessel’s structure or equipment, or even certain activities that may take place before a vessel’s arrival in port. The author argues that examples of unilateral measures being imposed by way of port state jurisdiction are growing, and that without active protests from flag states this concept will continue to expand in scope. As international law currently presents very few restrictions on the actions of ambitious port states, such developments may have a significant impact on the future of international maritime regulation.​ | <p>First book to focus exclusively on port state jurisdiction as a standalone concept </p><p>Detailed legal analysis drawing on a wide range of international sources </p><p>Particular relevance to government maritime administrations​</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Today, after decades of reform and the entry into the World Trade Organization, China has developed regulatory systems that enable it to provide stable administration, including a tax structure. China’s main tax reform can be attributed to the enactment of the Enterprise Income Tax Law, which came into effect on January 1, 2008. Chinese tax regulations include direct taxes, indirect taxes, other taxes, and custom duties and from a collection point of view, China’s tax administration adopts a very devolved system, with revenue collected and shared between different levels of government in accordance with contracts between the different levels of the tax administration system. With respect to international treaties, China has established a network of bilateral tax treaties and regional free trade agreements. This publication describes in detail China’s complex tax system and policies, as well as major bilateral treaties in which China has entered into using country-by-country analysis.

Since the advent of international criminal tribunals this need has fully reached criminal law. A large part of their work is based on comparative research. The legal systems which contribute most to this systemic discussion are common law and civil law, sometimes called continental law. So far this dialogue appears to have been dominated by the former. While there are many reasons for this, one stands out very clearly: Language. English has become the lingua franca of international legal research. The present book addresses this issue. [NAME] is one of the foremost German legal historians and the book's original has become a cornerstone of research into the history of German criminal law beyond doctrinal expositions; it allows a look at the system’s genesis, its ideological, political and cultural roots.

It has been predicted that an increase in the pace of sea level rise brought about by increasing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere will cause them to disappear, forcing their inhabitants to migrate.  The present book represents a multidisciplinary legal and engineering perspective on this problem, challenging some common misconceptions regarding atolls and their vulnerability to sea-level rise. Coral islands have survived past changes in sea levels, and it is the survival of coral reefs what will be crucial for their continued existence. These islands are important for their inhabitants as they represent not only their ancestral agricultural lands and heritage, but also a source of revenue through the exploitation of the maritime areas associated with them. However, even if faced with extreme climate change, it could theoretically be possible for the richer Atoll Island States to engineer ways to prevent their main islands from disappearing, though sadly not all will have the required financial resources to do so.  As islands become progressively uninhabitable their residents will be forced to settle in foreign lands, and could become stateless if the Atoll Island State ceases to be recognized as a sovereign country. However, rather than tackling this problem by entering into lengthy negotiations over new treaties, more practical solutions, encompassing bilateral negotiations or the possibility of acquiring small new territories, should be explored. This would make it possible for Atoll Island States in the future to keep some sort of international sovereign personality, which could benefit the descendents of its present day inhabitants. | <p>Interdisciplinary legal and engineering perspective</p><p> Scenario-based approach on the possible future situation of atolls, and its implications on sovereignty and the exploitation of maritime areas </p><p>Over 50 figures and maps describing the geomorphological problems of atolls and corals </p><p>Detailed analysis of the implications to human rights</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Emphasizing the unique and sometimes competing demands of listener and speaker, the author examines resulting asymmetries between production and comprehension. The text offers examples of the interpretation of word order and pronouns by listeners, and word order freezing and referential choice by speakers. It is explored why the usual symmetry breaks down in children but also sometimes in adults. Gathering contemporary insights from theoretical linguistic research, psycholinguistic studies and computational modeling, Asymmetries between Language Production and Comprehension presents a unified explanation of this phenomenon.“Through a lucid, comprehensive review of acquisition studies on reference-related phenomena, Petra Hendriks builds a striking case for the pervasiveness of asymmetries in comprehension/production. In her view, listeners systematically misunderstand what they hear, and speakers systematically fail to prevent such misunderstandings. She argues that linguistic theory should take stock of current psycholinguistic and developmental evidence on optionality and ambiguity, and recognize language as a signaling system. The arguments are compelling yet controversial: grammar does not specify a one-to-one correspondence between form and meaning; and the demands of the mapping task differ for listeners and speakers. Her proposal is formalized within optimality theory, but researchers working outside this framework will still find it of great interest. In the language-as-code vs. language-as-signal debate, Hendriks puts the ball firmly in the other court.” Ana Pérez-Leroux, University of Toronto, Canada | <p>Offers the first unified explanation of several asymmetries between language production and language comprehension</p><p>Asserts that grammar is shaped by the competition between the speaker’s perspective and the hearer’s perspective </p><p>Combines insights in theoretical linguistics, psycholinguistics and computational modeling on the organization, use and acquisition of language</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

These contributions in honor of Professor Jan Majer have been grouped in two sections: language learning, and discourse and communication. The former discusses issues varying from aspects of first, second, and third language acquisition, individual learner differences (i.e. gender, attitudes, learning strategies), and second language research methodology to the analysis of features of learner spoken language, the role of feedback in foreign language instruction, and the position of culture in EFL textbooks. The second part of the volume offers a theoretical counterbalance to the applied nature of the first one. Here, the contributions touch upon spoken and written language analysis, language awareness, and aspects of the English language; also, selected issues of language philosophy are discussed.

Argumentation theory studies reasoning and argument, and especially those aspects not addressed, or not addressed well, by formal deduction. The philosophy of mathematical practice diverges from mainstream philosophy of mathematics in the emphasis it places on what the majority of working mathematicians actually do, rather than on mathematical foundations.The book begins by first challenging the assumption that there is no role for informal logic in mathematics. Next, it details the usefulness of argumentation theory in the understanding of mathematical practice, offering an impressively diverse set of examples, covering the history of mathematics, mathematics education and, perhaps surprisingly, formal proof verification. From there, the book demonstrates that mathematics also offers a valuable testbed for argumentation theory. Coverage concludes by defending attention to mathematical argumentation as the basis for new perspectives on the philosophy of mathematics.  ​ | <p>Investigates the relationship between argumentation theory and the philosophy of mathematical practice.   </p><p>Challenges the assumption that there is no role for informal logic in mathematics   </p><p>Offers large array of examples ranging from the history of mathematics to formal proof verification ​</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Was Hume an Atheist?. | In this volume, authors [NAME] and [NAME] examine the full import of [NAME] arguments and the context of the society in which his work came to fruition. They analyze the nuanced natured of Hume's philosophical discourse and provide an informed look into his position on the possible content and rational justification of religious belief.The authors first detail the pressures and forms of repression that confronted any 18th century thinker wishing to challenge publicly the truth of Christian theism.  From there, they offer an overview of Hume's writings on religion, paying particular attention to the inter-relationships between the various works. They show that Hume's writings on religion are best seen as an artfully constructed web of irreligious argument that seeks to push forward a radical outlook, one that only emerges when the attention shifts from the individual sections of the web to its overall structure and context. Even though there is no explicit denial in any of Hume's published writings or private correspondence of the existence of God, the implications of his arguments often seem to point strongly towards atheism.[NAME] was one of the leading British critics of Christianity and all forms of religion at a time when public utterances or published writings denying the truth of Christianity were liable to legal prosecution. His philosophical and historical writings offer a sustained and remarkably open critique of religion that is unmatched by any previous author writing in English.  Yet, despite Hume’s widespread reputation amongst his contemporaries for extreme irreligion, the subtle and measured manner in which he presents his position means that it remains far from clear how radical his views actually were. | <p>Offers a distinctive interpretation of [NAME], a figure of considerable interest to today’s general educated public  </p><p> </p><p>Features an overview of Hume's writings on religion as well as detailed analysis of his relevant texts</p><p> </p><p>Carefully examines the inter-relationships between Hume's various works that discuss religion</p><p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

It brings together the work and ideas of historians, philosophers, biologists, and social scientists, uniting a range of new perspectives, methods, and frameworks for examining and understanding the ways that organisms and environments interact.The volume is organized into three main sections: historical perspectives, contested models, and emerging frameworks. The first section explores the origins of the modern idea of organism-environment interaction in the mid-nineteenth century and its development by later psychologists and anthropologists. In the second section, a variety of controversial models—from mathematical representations of evolution to model organisms in medical research—are discussed and reframed in light of recent questions about the interplay between organisms and environment. The third section investigates several new ideas that have the potential to reshape key aspects of the biological and social sciences. Populations of organisms evolve in response to changing environments; bodies and minds depend on a wide array of circumstances for their development; cultures create complex relationships with the natural world even as they alter it irrevocably. The chapters in this volume share a commitment to unraveling the mysteries of this entangled life. | <p>Integrates discussions in biology and social sciences about the relation between organism and environment </p><p>Investigates the historical development of discussions of organism-environment interaction </p><p>Provides historical and  philosophical analyses of the organism-environment relationship with consequences for scientific research on this topic​</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Explaining the Explanations of 100 Million Missing Women; [NAME] and Szu-[NAME]. | This volume addresses fundamental issues in the philosophy of science in the context of two most intriguing fields: biology and economics. Written by authorities and experts in the philosophy of biology and economics, Mechanism and Causality in Biology and Economics provides a structured study of the concepts of mechanism and causality in these disciplines and draws careful juxtapositions between philosophical apparatus and scientific practice. By exploring the issues that are most salient to the contemporary philosophies of biology and economics and by presenting comparative analyses, the book serves as a platform not only for gaining mutual understanding between scientists and philosophers of the life sciences and those of the social sciences, but also for sharing interdisciplinary research that combines both philosophical concepts in both fields.The book begins by defining the concepts of mechanism and causality in biology and economics, respectively. The second and third parts investigate philosophical perspectives of various causal and mechanistic issues in scientific practice in the two fields. These two sections include chapters on causal issues in the theory of evolution; experiments and scientific discovery; representation of causal relations and mechanism by models in economics. The concluding section presents interdisciplinary studies of various topics concerning extrapolation of life sciences and social sciences, including chapters on the philosophical investigation of conjoining biological and economic analyses with, respectively, demography, medicine and sociology. | <p>One of the first books to examine the relationships between philosophy, biology and economics</p><p>Offers a comprehensive review of causal and mechanistic issues in biology and economics</p><p>Discusses the philosophical investigation of conjoining biological and economic analyses with demography, medicine and sociology </p><p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

It begins with an exploration of ethics in politics and cultural traditions. From genocide to the unequal distribution of wealth, it examines many of the harms that currently affect societies throughout the world and considers a way that those in politics can follow to provide better care for all their populations. Next, the book looks at the relation between ethics and cultural traditions. It features a paper that examines the tension that often exists between the past and the present, with a special focus on the history of India. This volume also considers the idea of a universal system of ethics, presents a practical approach to value-based management in private and public organizations, and examines ethics in medicine.   In addition, this volume includes coverage of a new type of ethics called Eco-ethica, proposed by the Japanese philosopher Tomonobu Imamichi, which seeks to answer the question of how men and women can “live better” or “live together with each other” in a systematized, technological age.   ​ | <p>Considers the idea of a universal system of ethics   </p><p>Includes coverage of a new type of ethics called Eco-ethica   </p><p>Scrutinizes the relationship between ethics and cultural tradition​</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Engineering Differences Between Natural, Social and Artificial Kinds; [NAME] Kerr.​ | This book is concerned with two intimately related topics of metaphysics: the identity of entities and the foundations of classification. What it adds to previous discussions of these topics is that it addresses them with respect to human-made entities, that is, artefacts. As the chapters in the book show, questions of identity and classification require other treatments and lead to other answers for artefacts than for natural entities. These answers are of interest to philosophers not only for their clarification of artefacts as a category of things but also for the new light they may shed on these issue with respect to to natural entities.     This volume is structured in three parts.  The contributions in Part I address basic ontological and metaphysical questions in relation to artefact kinds: How should we conceive of artefact kinds? Are they real kinds? How are identity conditions for artefacts and artefact kinds related? The contributions in Part II address meta-ontological questions: What, exactly, should an ontological account of artefact kinds provide us with? What scope can it aim for? Which ways of approaching the ontology of artefact kinds are there, how promising are they, and how should we assess this? In Part III, the essays offer engineering practice rather than theoretical philosophy as a point of reference. The issues addressed here include: How do engineers classify technical artefacts and on what grounds? What makes specific classes of technical artefacts candidates for ontologically real kinds, and by which criteria?​ | <p>Addresses ontologies of artefact kinds in engineering practice   </p><p>Offers practical as well as theoretical implications   </p><p>Presents important developments in both formal ontology and ontology engineering​</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

There are four parts to this book, beginning with a look at motivations for Pluralism by way of Realism, Maddy’s Naturalism, Shapiro’s Structuralism and Formalism. In the second part of this book the author covers: the philosophical presentation of Pluralism; using a formal theory of logic metaphorically; rigour and proof for the Pluralist; and mathematical fixtures. In the third part the author goes on to focus on the transcendental presentation of Pluralism, and in part four looks at applications of Pluralism, such as a Pluralist approach to proof in mathematics and how Pluralism works in regard to together-inconsistent philosophies of mathematics. The book finishes with suggestions for further Pluralist enquiry.In this work the author takes a deeply radical approach in developing a new position that will either convert readers, or act as a strong warning to treat the word ‘pluralism’ with care. | <p>Offers a radical approach, developing a position on Pluralism</p><p>Provides a cross disciplinary approach, drawing upon mathematical positions whilst presenting a philosophical account</p><p>Scrutinizes the transcendental presentation of Pluralism</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Chapter 10: Understanding users’ informational constructs through the affordances of cinematographic images; [NAME] Labour.- Chapter 11: Documentary Languages and the Demarcation of Information Units in Textual Information: A Case Study; [NAME]. | This book addresses some of the key questions that scientists have been asking themselves for centuries: what is knowledge? What is information? How do we know that we know something? How do we construct meaning from the perceptions of things? Although no consensus exists on a common definition of the concepts of information and communication, few can reject the hypothesis that information – whether perceived as « object » or as « process » - is a pre-condition for knowledge. Epistemology is the study of how we know things (anglophone meaning) or the study of how scientific knowledge is arrived at and validated (francophone conception). To adopt an epistemological stance is to commit oneself to render an account of what constitutes knowledge or in procedural terms, to render an account of when one can claim to know something. An epistemological theory imposes constraints on the interpretation of human cognitive interaction with the world. It goes without saying that different epistemological theories will have more or less restrictive criteria to distinguish what constitutes knowledge from what is not. If information is a pre-condition for knowledge acquisition, giving an account of how knowledge is acquired should impact our comprehension of information and communication as concepts. While a lot has been written on the definition of these concepts, less research has attempted to establish explicit links between differing theoretical conceptions of these concepts and the underlying epistemological stances. This is what this volume attempts to do. It offers a multidisciplinary exploration of information and communication as perceived in different disciplines and how those perceptions affect theories of knowledge. | <p>Addresses a multidisciplinary approach to theories of information and knowledge </p><p>Discusses one of the most important topics for the development of the global knowledge society </p><p>Provides contributions by renowned authors​</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Published at a time when the philosophy of mind and philosophical psychology are high-profile domains in current research, the volume will inform our understanding of philosophical questions by shedding light on the origins of core conceptual assumptions often arrived at before the instauration of psychology as a recognized subject in its own right.   The chapters closely follow historical developments in our understanding of the mind, with sections dedicated to ancient, medieval Latin and Arabic, and early modern periods of development. The volume’s structural clarity enables readers to trace the entire progression of philosophical understanding on specific topics related to the mind, such as the nature of perception. Doing so reveals the fascinating contrasts between current and historical approaches. In addition to its all-inclusive source material, the volume provides subtle expert commentary that includes critical introductions to each thematic section as well as detailed engagement with the central texts. A voluminous bibliography includes hundreds of primary and secondary sources. The sheer scale of this new publication sheds light on the progression, and discontinuities, in our study of the philosophy of mind, and represents a major new sourcebook in a field of extreme importance to our understanding of humanity as a whole.​ | <p>The first thematically structured sourcebook on the history of philosophy of mind covering developments from Plato to [NAME] </p><p>Expert commentary provided by prominent scholars on key texts and all texts are presented in new translations   </p><p>Includes material on all of the main areas of Western philosophical psychology ​</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

They focus on the role of collective intentional states in creating social facts, and on the nature of intentional properties of groups that allow characterizing them as responsible agents, or perhaps even as persons. Many of the essays are inspired by contemporary action theory, emotion theory, and theories of collective intentionality. Another group of essays revisits early phenomenological approaches to social ontology and accounts of sociality that draw on the Hegelian idea of recognition. This volume is organized into three parts. First, the volume discusses themes highlighted in [NAME] work and addresses questions concerning the relation between intentions and the deontic powers of institutions, the role of disagreement, and the nature of collective intentionality. Next, the book focuses on joint and collective emotions and mutual recognition, and then goes on to explore the scope and limits of group agency, or group personhood, especially the capacity for responsible agency.The variety of philosophical traditions mirrored in this collection provides readers with a rich and multifaceted survey of present research in social ontology. It will help readers deepen their understanding of three interrelated and core topics in social ontology: the constitution and structure of institutions, the role of shared evaluative attitudes, and the nature and role of group agents. | <p>Features contributions that present the state of the art in key areas of current social ontology</p><p>Examines the role of collective intentional states in creating social facts</p>Explores the core topics of constitution and structure of institutions, the role of shared evaluative attitudes, and the nature and role of group agents | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

But our understanding of value, and our ability to reflect on its complexity, has long lagged behind our constant search for truth. This has, in turn limited our grasp of the essence of truth.This book takes philosophical contemplations on value to a new level, while also explicating some contemporary Chinese styles of philosophical thought. Over the past 25 years, this book has been having an increasing impact on Chinese readers and researchers, and it also provides a good platform for international dialogue on several key issues of philosophical studies. | <p>Unlocking a familiar and yet unfamiliar philosophical question</p><p><p>Attempting a convention-breaking way of critical thinking</p><p><p>Experiencing a people-oriented condition for rational pursuits </p><p><p>Helping you to return to the wisdom of life practices</p><p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Stoic Epistemology after Chrysippus.- Index of Subjects.- Index of Passages.- Bibliography. | This book looks at the epistemological views and arguments of the early Stoics, in particular those of [NAME] (3rd century BC), the third head of the Stoic school. It discusses such issues as the manner in which we perceive things and come to have notions of them, the reliability of arguments, the nature and variety of cognitive errors, and the possibility and nature of knowledge. Unlike most recent works on the subject, the aim of this book is to give a comprehensive account of Stoic epistemology as a whole as it was developed by [NAME]. The emphasis lies - more than usual - on how the epistemological views of the Stoics are interrelated, not only among themselves, but also with views belonging to their physics and logic. The author focuses on the ancient sources and does not attempt to cover all the subjects that are discussed in the scholarly literature, but in working with the sources, he makes extensive use of the latest scholarship on the subject. Our evidence for early Stoicism is quite poor. There are probably many views and arguments we will never get to know about. But we do find lots of passages bearing on various issues in Stoic epistemology in Sextus, Galen, Plutarch, Cicero, and a few others authors. Much of [NAME]'s work therefore consists of putting together bits and pieces of evidence from these authors so as to try and make sense of the subjects that we know the early Stoics discussed, some of which are listed above. | <P>The first comprehensive modern study of Stoic epistemology, which greatly influenced e.g. Descartes</P> <P>Builds on and critically assesses the latest research on the subject</P> <P>Gives access to issues that, because of poor source material, are not easily accessable to even advanced students and specialists</P> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

It looks back at past experiences of the profession in attempting to meet its public interest obligation. It examines the role and responsibilities of accounting to society including regulatory requirements, increased emphasis on corporate social responsibility, accounting fraud and whistle-blowing implications, internationalization of public interest obligations, and providing the education needed to be successful. The book incorporates an ethical dimension in making these assessments. Its focus is a conceptual, theoretical one drawing on classical philosophy, the sociology of professions, economic theory, and the public interest dimension of accountants as professionals.

Shīrāzī and his colleagues were driven by their desire to rid [NAME] astronomy from its perceived shortcomings.  An intriguing trail of revisions and emendations in Shīrāzī’s hay’a texts serves to highlight both those features of Shīrāzī's astronomy that were inherited from his predecessors, as well as his original contributions to this branch of astronomical research. As a renowned savant, Shīrāzī spent a large portion of his career near centers of political power in Persia and Anatolia.  A study of his scientific output and career as a scholar is an opportunity, therefore, for an examination of the patronage of science and of scientific works within the Ilkhanid realms. Not only was this patronage important to the work of scholars such as Shīrāzī but it was critical to the founding and operation of one of the foremost scientific institutions of the medieval Islamic world, the [NAME] observatory. The astronomical tradition in which Shīrāzī carried out his research has many links, as well, to the astronomy of Early Modern Europe, as can be seen in the astronomical models of Copernicus. | <p>This study clarifies the relationship between three well-known but little studied medieval works on astronomy</p><p>Provides a detailed biography of [NAME], a leading scientist of his era</p><p>Sheds light on the nature of the patronage of the sciences in Ilkhanid Persia</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

According to the International Disasters Database, almost 2800 disasters occurred between 2000 and 2005, compared to approximately 2700 during all of the 1990s. The number of people impacted by disasters tripled between 1990 and 2003. In that year, more than 250 million people were directly affected by a disaster.  Disasters cause immense pain and suffering, along with widespread death and destruction. They require an immediate response, but those responses raise ethical questions. How do doctors and nurses decide whom to care for? What care do the victims need first? How do international agencies decide what to send? What ethical responsibilities do the media bear? Is research justified during a disaster? If so, how will research ethics standards be maintained?  Such ethical questions need urgent and extensive discussion. This book provides in-depth and practical reflection on these and other challenging ethical questions. It presents the deliberations of scholars and practitioners who gathered at the Brocher Center in Geneva, Switzerland in 2011 and formulated the Brocher Principles of Disaster Bioethics. This book offers their findings to guide those concerned about responding ethically to the healthcare needs of disaster victims. | The first detailed examination of disaster bioethics covering both the ethics of disaster healthcare as well as disaster research  Taking a global perspective where the differences in culture and resources are acknowledged  Provides The Brocher Principles of Disaster Bioethics on how to ethically respond to the needs of disaster victims | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

The author, a well-known philosopher and historian of mathematics, first examines Euclid, who is considered the father of the axiomatic method, before moving onto [NAME] and Lawvere. He then presents a deep textual analysis of each writer and describes how their ideas are different and even how their ideas progressed over time. Next, the book explores category theory and details how it has revolutionized the notion of the axiomatic method. It considers the question of identity/equality in mathematics as well as examines the received theories of mathematical structuralism. In the end, [NAME] presents a hypothetical New Axiomatic Method, which establishes closer relationships between mathematics and physics.Lawvere's axiomatization of topos theory and Voevodsky's axiomatization of higher homotopy theory exemplify a new way of axiomatic theory building, which goes beyond the classical [NAME]-style Axiomatic Method. The new notion of Axiomatic Method that emerges in categorical logic opens new possibilities for using this method in physics and other natural sciences.This volume offers readers a coherent look at the past, present and anticipated future of the Axiomatic Method. | <p>Offers readers a coherent look at the past, present and anticipated future of the Axiomatic Method</p><p><p>Provides a deep textual analysis of Euclid, [NAME], and [NAME] that describes how their ideas are different and how their ideas progressed over time </p><p>Presents a hypothetical New Axiomatic Method, which establishes closer relationships between mathematics and physics</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

The book starts by exploring the nature and value of Hegelian recognition theory.  It shows the importance of that theory for grounding a normative account of free and autonomous agency.  It is this normative account of free agency which provides the groundwork for a republican conception of social and global justice, based on the core-ideas of freedom as non-domination and autonomy as non-alienation. As the author argues, republicans should endorse a sufficientarian account of social justice, which focuses on the nature of social relationships and their effects on people's ability to act freely and realize their fundamental interests. On the global level, the book argues for the cosmopolitan extension of the republican principles of non-domination and non-alienation within a multi-level democratic system. In so doing, the book addresses a major gap in the existing literature, presenting an original theory of justice, which combines Hegelian recognition theory and republican ideas of freedom, and applying this hybrid theory to the global domain. | <p>Is the first to offer a truly republican theory of social justice </p><p>Offers a comprehensive alternative to the dominant Rawlsian approaches to social and global justice </p><p>Sharpens our understanding of the nature and value of freedom and equality  </p><p>Provides a unique extension of republican ideas and recognition theory to the global domain​    </p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

It addresses questions raised by the recent, much-touted return to religion, including possible reasons for the return and its practical, political, and intellectual prospects. Secularisation and Their Debates is not afraid to provide answers to such questions as: Is religion only ever a force of political reaction in modernity, or are there resources in it which progressive, even secular social movements, could engage with or adopt? Are the new atheisms, or on the opposite side, the new fundamentalisms, really novel phenomena, or has religion only ever been artificially sidelined in the modern Western states? Has modern liberalism only really been kidding itself about its non-doctrinal neutrality between different faiths, and if so, what should follow? This book will appeal to researchers in the philosophy of religion, social sciences, political philosophy, and anthropology. | <p>Leading Australiasian philosophers of religion take up and advance the current debates about secularisation and religion</p><p>Explores extremely timely topics in contemporary political and social debates: the new atheisms, the debate between Habermas and the Pope on the fate of modernity, the impact of new scientific developments on traditional religions</p><p>Particular focus on radical criticisms of modern secular liberal societies in the thought of [NAME] and the radical orthodox school of theology</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

It examines various contexts in which defeasible reasoning is useful and offers a compact introduction into adaptive logics. The author first familiarizes readers with defeasible reasoning, the adaptive logics framework, combinations of adaptive logics, and a range of useful meta-theoretic properties. He then offers a systematic study of adaptive logics based on various applications. The book presents formal models for defeasible reasoning stemming from different contexts, such as default reasoning, argumentation, and normative reasoning. It highlights various meta-theoretic advantages of adaptive logics over other logics or logical frameworks that model defeasible reasoning. In this way the book substantiates the status of adaptive logics as a generic formal framework for defeasible reasoning. | <p>Presents adaptive logics as an intuitive and powerful framework to model defeasible reasoning</p><p>Features intuitive examples and case studies </p><p>Details a range of applications that will appeal to researchers with various interests and backgrounds</p><p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11649 | Mathematics and Statistics

The second section explores belief revision and update, iterated and irrevocable beliefs change, dynamic doxastic logic and hypertheories.[NAME] has worked for more than thirty years to analyze the intricacies of real and doxastic actions using formal tools - mostly modal (dynamic) logic and its semantics.

Nominalism and higher-order quantification. ​ | This meticulous critical assessment of the ground-breaking work of philosopher Stanislaw  Leśniewski focuses exclusively on primary texts and explores the full range of output by one of the master logicians of the Lvov-Warsaw school. The author’s nuanced survey eschews secondary commentary, analyzing Leśniewski's core philosophical views and evaluating the formulations that were to have such a profound influence on the evolution of mathematical logic.   One of the undisputed leaders of the cohort of brilliant logicians that congregated in Poland in the early twentieth century, Leśniewski was a guide and mentor to a generation of celebrated analytical philosophers ([NAME] was among his PhD students). His primary achievement was a system of foundational mathematical logic intended as an alternative to the Principia Mathematica of [NAME] and [NAME]. Its three strands—‘protothetic’, ‘ontology’, and ‘mereology’, are detailed in discrete sections of this volume, alongside a wealth other chapters grouped to provide the fullest possible coverage of Leśniewski’s academic output. With material on his early philosophical views, his contributions to set theory and his work on nominalism and higher-order quantification, this book offers a uniquely expansive critical commentary on one of analytical philosophy’s great pioneers.​ | <p>Accessible introduction to Leśniewski's foundations of mathematics </p><p>Critical analysis covers Leśniewski’s philosophical views as well as his contributions to mathematical logic </p><p>Exclusive focus on primary texts reveals the core principles of Leśniewski’s work ​</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11649 | Mathematics and Statistics

These challenges multiply—and the quality of parenting suffers—when a parent or child has mental health issues, or when parents are in conflict. Even under optimal circumstances, the constant changes as children develop can tax parents' inner resources, often undoing the best intentions and parenting courses. Mindful Parenting: A Guide for Mental Health Practitioners offers an evidence-based, eight week structured mindfulness training program for parents with lasting benefits for parents and their children. Designed for use in mental health contexts, its methods are effective whether parents or children have behavioral or emotional issues. The program's eight sessions focus on mindfulness-oriented skills for parents, such as responding to (as opposed to reacting to) parenting stress, handling conflict with children or partners, fostering empathy, and setting limits. The book dovetails with other clinical mindfulness approaches, and is written clearly and accessibly so that professionals can learn the material easily and impart it to clients. Featured in the text:  Detailed theoretical, clinical, and empirical foundations of the program.The complete Mindful Parenting manual with guidelines for eight sessions and a follow-up.Handouts and assignments for each session.Findings from clinical trials of the Mindful Parenting program.Perspectives from parents who have finished the course.

At the time of its publication, attention was a construct that had long been of theoretical interest in the field of psychology and was receiving increased research by cognitive scientists. Yet, attention was typically viewed as a nuisance variable; a factor that needed to be accounted for when assessing brain function, but of limited importance in its own right. There is a need for a new edition of this book within Neuropsychology to present an updated and integrated review of what is know about attention, the disorders that affect it, and approaches to its clinical assessment and treatment. Such a book will provide perspectives for experimental neuropsychological study of attention and also provide clinicians with insights on how to approach this neuropsychological domain. | <p>Integrates current neuropsychological knowledge with research coming from cognitive and neuroscientific research</p><ul><p></ul><p>Presents information derived from recent developments in the fields of functional and structural brain imaging</p><p>Updated clinical chapters offer state of the art methods for the assessment and treatment of attention disturbances, providing possibilities for addressing these and other real-life concerns</p><ul><p></ul><p> </p><p> </p> | Science | Medical (6) | 0 | EBOP11650 | Medicine

More than ever, the responsibility of the helping professions extends from aiding individuals and families to securing social justice for the larger community. With this duty in clear sight, the contributors to Child and Family Advocacy assert that advocacy is neither a dying art nor a lost cause but a vital platform for improving children's lives beyond the scope of clinical practice. This uniquely practical reference builds an ethical foundation that defines advocacy as a professional competency, and identifies skills that clinicians and researchers can use in advocating at the local, state, and federal levels. Models of the advocacy process coupled with first-person narratives demonstrate how professionals across disciplines can lobby for change.  Among the topics discussed: Promoting children's mental health: collaboration and public understanding.Health reform as a bridge to health equity.Preventing child maltreatment: early intervention and public educationChanging juvenile justice practice and policy.A multi-level framework for local policy development and implementation.When evidence and values collide: preventing sexually transmitted infections.Lessons from the legislative history of federal special education law. [NAME] and [NAME] is an essential resource for researchers, professionals, and graduate students in clinical child and school psychology, family studies, public health, developmental psychology, social work, and social policy. | <p>​Establishes a model integrating research and advocacy practice and policy for children, youth, families, and communities</p><p>Provides a substantive knowledge base for effective social policy with training tools for professional advocacy</p><p>Describes a range of advocacy skills, from grassroots efforts to testifying before legislative bodies</p><p>Details how research informs advocacy efforts at the community, state, and federal levels</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11640 | Behavioral Science

Particularly in need of culturally appropriate services are Asians and Asian Americans, populations that are diverse, growing, and underserved by Asian practitioners. Neuropsychology with Asians and Asian Americans takes cultural neuroscience to new levels in its variety and usefulness. Focusing on the largest groups of Far East and Southeast Asian descent, this leading-edge reference examines the influence of culture on psychological processes and identifies sociocultural factors as they influence neurological aspects of client presentation.

These and other core cognitive and behavioral operations of daily life comprise what we know as executive functioning (EF). But despite all we know, the concept has engendered multiple, often conflicting definitions, and its components are sometimes loosely defined and poorly understood.The Handbook of Executive Functioning cuts through the confusion, analyzing both the whole and its parts in comprehensive, practical detail for scholar and clinician alike. Background chapters examine influential models of EF, tour the brain geography of the executive system, and pose salient developmental questions. A section on practical implications relates early deficits in executive functioning to ADD and other disorders in children, and considers autism and later-life dementias from an EF standpoint. Further chapters weigh the merits of widely used instruments for assessing executive functioning and review interventions for its enhancement, with special emphasis on children and adolescents.

This model used clinicians and consultants to provide in-depth assessment, treatment planning, and limited interventions in consultation with frontline primary care and mental health practitioners working with immigrants, refugees, and members of indigenous and ethnocultural communities. Evaluation of the service has demonstrated that focused interventions by consultants familiar with patients’ cultural backgrounds could improve the relationship between the patient and the primary clinician.  This volume presents models for intercultural work in psychiatry and psychology in primary care, general hospital and specialty mental health settings. The editors highlight crucial topics such as:  - Discussing the social context of intercultural mental health care, conceptual models of the role of culture in psychopathology and healing, and the development of a cultural consultation service and a specialized cultural psychiatric service - Examining the process of intercultural work more closely with particular emphasis oto strategies of consultation, the identity of the clinician, the ways in which gender and culture position the clinician, and and interaction of the consultant with family systems and larger institutions - Highlighting special situations that may place specific demands on the clinician: working with refugees and survivors of torture or political violence, with separated families, and with patients with psychotic episodes This book is of valuable use to mental health practitioners who are working in multidisciplinary settings who seek to understand cultural difference in complex cases.

Based on this review, it introduces a theoretical model of how skill and knowledge acquisition for complex tasks is accomplished and shows how this model can be used to derive training methods and instructional techniques. Successful acquisition and retention of complex technical skills within High Reliability Organizations requires a full understanding of the learning process, knowledge structure, and skill requirements associated with the effective operation and management of technology. For researchers and for organizations, the understanding of these processes is vital for designing training programs as well as for reducing errors with severe consequences for human lives and the environment. Until now, only theoretical fragments exist on this topic, and only a very limited number of publications actually address complex tasks in vocational/occupational settings. “Skill and Knowledge Acquisition for Complex Tasks” uses its literature overview and theoretical model to formulate training principles, that can be used to develop training experiments for further empirical investigations as well as training methods for applied organizational contexts.  ​ | Introduces a new theoretical framework to understand the learning process of a complex task from a Human Factors perspective   Integrates theoretical approaches of individual skill acquisition and  adult learning into a new comprehensive framework for real-world tasks in control rooms of High Reliability Organizations (HROs)   [NAME] the gap between traditional learning theory and the training development for workers dealing with highly complex technical systems​ | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11640 | Behavioral Science

This pioneer project was conducted in Hong Kong between 2005 and 2012 with more than 210,000 participants. Its goal was to help students meet various challenges in their path to adulthood, with a focus on their psychosocial competencies, developmental assets and the promotion of healthy peer relationships. The project was initiated by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust in collaboration with the Government’s Social Welfare Department, Education Bureau and five universities in Hong Kong. Edited by the researchers of the project, Development and Evaluation of Positive Adolescent Training through Holistic Social Programs explores the nature of positive youth development (PYD), the application of PYD constructs to youth programs and implementation issues.Using multiple strategies, the book evaluates the overall effectiveness of the P.A.T.H.S. school-based programme and reveals that stakeholders had positive perceptions of the project, its implementers and benefits. Students in the program showed better positive development and displayed lower levels of substance abuse and delinquent behaviour than students in the control schools. The book also details lessons learned, emergent issues, future directions as well as insights into the development of positive youth development programs particularly in Chinese communities. Development and Evaluation of Positive Adolescent Training through Holistic Social Programs will appeal to all educators, administrators, psychologists, social workers and allied profeesionals looking to promote whole-person development in their students, especially those with in interest in education in China. | <p>Offers a scientific evaluation of a landmark positive youth development project conducted in Hong Kong between 2005 and 2012 that had more than 210,000 participants</p><p>Evaluates the overall effectiveness of the P.A.T.H.S. school-based programme and reveals that stakeholders had positive perceptions of the project, its implementers and benefits</p><p>Details lessons learned, emergent issues, future directions, as well as insights into the development of positive youth development programs particularly in Chinese communities</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11640 | Behavioral Science

Because   economic violence often leads to conflict, is perpetrated during conflict, and continues afterwards as a legacy of conflict, a greater focus on economic and social rights issues in the transitional justice context is critical. One might add that insofar as transitional justice is increasingly seen as an instrument of peacebuilding rather than a simple political transition, focus on economic violence as the crucial “root cause” is key to preventing re-lapse into conflict.   Recent increasing attention to economic issues by academics and truth commissions suggest this may be slowly changing, and that economic and social rights may represent the “next frontier” of transitional justice concerns. There remain difficult questions that have yet to be worked out at the level of theory, policy, and practice. Further scholarship in this regard is both timely, and necessary. This volume therefore presents an opportunity to fill an important gap. The project will bring together new papers by recognized and emerging scholars and policy experts in the field.​ | <p>Explores innovative research at the intersection of peacework and economics</p><p>Assesses important international policy shifts </p><p>Focuses on a critical emerging topic in the area of transitional justice​</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

A combined psychosocial approach draws attention to how most people in the former Yugoslavia had to endure and cope with war and dramatic societal changes and how they resisted and overcame ethnic rivalry, violence and segregation. It is a departure from the mindset that depict most people in the former Yugoslavia as either blind followers of ethnic war entrepreneurs or as intrinsically motivated for violence by deep-rooted intra-ethnic loyalties and inter-ethnic animosities. | <p>Contains 'voices' section that are primary source accounts of the war in the former Yugoslavia</p><p>Provides diverse research perspectives on the effects of collective violence on communities</p><p>Explores interdisciplinary approaches to helping communities deal with the aftermath of war and trauma</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11640 | Behavioral Science

Offering a revisited and innovative approach to coaching psychology, advantageous for learners and practitioners alike. It marks a new trend in coaching and has a special profile, based on the acknowledgement of changes in society, learning and knowledge production, as well as leadership.   The author’ s concept of ​​coaching distinguishes itself from  the existing models (pop coaching , GROW model, etc) by offering a fresh analysis of our society – a society that is characterised by diversification, identity challenges, abolition of the monopoly of knowledge, lifelong learning, the necessity for self-reflection, etc. These societal changes are the basis for the existence of coaching and its prevalence, but they must also be the foundation for the way we employ coaching. | <p>Introduces a new conceptual framework for coaching practice </p><p>Unique approach connects coaching to societal changes in society, work and life </p><p>Strong focus on the importance of values and meaning in the coaching process </p><p>Provides excellent material for ambitious practitioners and high level coaching education programs by supporting the reader as a reflective practitioner </p> | Professionals | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11640 | Behavioral Science

Psychopathology in Intellectual Disability: Future Directions in Research and Evidence-Based Practice. | The complex intersecting of genetic, biological, and environmental factors can make intellectual impairments difficult for clinicians to assess and treat. When such comorbid conditions as substance abuse or bipolar disorder are part of the equation, so are increased risks for clinical uncertainties and therapeutic dead-ends.The Handbook of Psychopathology in Intellectual Disability reflects the diversity of its subject in prevalence and presentation, testing methods and treatment options. Besides focusing on specific pathologies as they affect the course of intellectual disability (ID), its coverage spans the field from in-depth analyses of psychosocial aspects of ID to promising new findings in genetics and the ongoing challenge of providing personalized care tailored to individual client needs. Expert contributors bridge gaps between the evidence base and best practices and improved policy for maximum utility. In addition, chapters are written to benefit the widest variety of professionals treating clients with ID across disciplines. Key areas featured in the [NAME] include:General issues and assessment methods.Core etiological approaches, including neuroimaging.Comorbid psychopathology, including mood, anxiety, and personality disorders.Common clinical conditions, such as ADHD, autism, and behavior problems.Medical and psychological interventions as well as community and inpatient services.Future directions in research and evidence-based practices.The Handbook of Psychopathology in Intellectual Disability is an essential reference for researchers, professors, and graduate students as well as clinicians and other scientist-practitioners in clinical psychology, psychiatry, social work, rehabilitation medicine, public health, and neuropsychology. | Examines the complexities of both etiology and manifestation of psychopathology in people with intellectual disabilities<br><br>Addresses issues of broad-based mental health service delivery for people with intellectual disabilities<br><br>Describes assessments and interventions based on a comprehensive overview of the current evidence base<br><br>Explores future directions in research and its implications for clinical practice | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11640 | Behavioral Science

Coaching and Consultation.- Chapter 19. | With so few therapeutic outlets readily available to young people, schools have evolved into mental health centers for many students. Yet schools are hampered by limited access to resources needed to provide mental health promotion, prevention, and intervention services.Like its acclaimed predecessor, the Second Edition of the Handbook of School Mental Health offers ways for professionals to maximize resources, make and strengthen valuable connections, and attain more effective school-based services and programming. At the same time, the [NAME] provides strategies and recommendations in critical areas, such as workforce development, interdisciplinary collaborations, youth/family engagement, consultation, funding, and policy concerns, summarizes the state of current research, and offers directions for further study. Chapters model best practices for promoting wellness and safety, early detection of emotional and behavioral problems, and school-based interventions for students with anxiety, depression, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and other common challenges. In spotlighting this range of issues, the contributors have created a comprehensive game plan for advancing the field. Among the [NAME]'s topics:Pre-service training for school mental health clinicians.Cognitive-behavioral interventions for trauma in schools. Increasing parental engagement in school-based interventions.Models of psychiatric consultation to schools.Culturally competent behavioral and emotional screening. Bullying from a school mental health perspective.Prevention and intervention strategies related to a variety of mental health problems in schools. The Second Edition of the Handbook of School Mental Health is an essential reference for researchers, graduate students, and other professionals in child and school psychology, special and general education, public health, school nursing, occupational therapy, psychiatry, social work and counseling, educational policy, and family advocacy. | <p>Provides an updated, expanded, and in-depth examination of the latest developments in school mental health research, training, practice, and policy</p><p>Explores the public health issues of school mental health as well as the developmental trajectories affecting the behavioral and academic performances of students</p><p>Addresses the diverse and unique needs of schools and how to effectively train all mental health and school professionals</p><p>Focuses on enhancing collaborative approaches among the various individual, group, system, and agency stakeholders</p><p>Explores how to facilitate evidence-based practices in the school setting</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11640 | Behavioral Science

Such courts are often referred to as “problem-solving” because they are working on root causes of criminal behavior as part of the dispensation of justice. This major shift in the role of the courts means that the court works closely with prosecutors, public defenders, probation officers, social workers, and other justice system partners to develop a strategy that pressures offenders to complete a treatment program which will ultimately, hopefully prevent recidivism. Research has shown that this kind of strategy has a two-fold benefit. It has been successful in helping offenders turn their lives around which leads to improved public safety and the ultimate saving of public funds. This book is the first to focus exclusively on problem solving courts, and as such it presents an overview of the rationale and scientific evidence for such courts as well as individual sections on the key areas in which these courts are active. Thus there is specific attention paid to domestic violence, juvenile criminality, mental health, and more. Throughout, research findings are incorporated into general discussions of these courts operate and ideally what they are trying to accomplish. There is also discussion of how such courts should evolve in the future and the directions that further research should take. | Covers the full range of problem-solving courts <br>The most comprehensive coverage of the topic with contributions by leading experts <br>Provides the existing research base and indications for future research directions | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11640 | Behavioral Science

It explores the consequences of combining current trends and models with supplementary participatory and transformative methods. The book brings a more collective, qualitative, culturally sensitive and transformative approach to the processes of making sense and implementing the science of positive psychology. It moves beyond the individual level towards a “knowledge community” and “knowledge of the communities”. The book is an invitation to more participatory and polyphonic dialogues in the field of positive psychology. | <p>Approaches the field of positive psychology from a post-modern perspective</p><p>Challenges ideas and procedures while building upon the virtues of current models<br><br>Builds on Maslow’s idea of “growth science”</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

A Research Agenda for Putting Gender Through its Paces; [NAME] and [NAME]. | This volume brings together studies from various disciplines of the social sciences and humanities ( anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, history and literary theory) that shed light on the equestrian world as a historically gendered and highly dynamic field of contemporary sport and culture.  From high level international dressage and jumping, polo and the turf, to the rodeo world of the Americas and popular forms of equestrian sport and culture, we are introduced to a range of  issues that  are played out at local and global, national and international levels. Students and scholars of gender, culture and sport  will find much of interest in this original look at contemporary issues such as “engendered” (women’s and men’s) identities/subjectivities as equestrians, representations of girls, horses and the world of adventure in juvenile fiction;  the current “feminization” of particular equestrian activities (and where boys and men stand in relation to this);  how broad forms of social inequality and stratification play themselves out within gendered equestrian contexts; men and women and their relation to horses within the framework of current discussions on the relation of animals to humans (which may  include not only love and care, but also exploitation and violence), among others.  Singular contributions  show how   equestrian activities contribute to historical and current constructions of embodied “femininities” and “masculinities”, reflecting a world that has been moving “beyond the binaries” while continuing to be enmeshed in their persistent and contradictory legacy. ​ | <p>Fulfills a  longstanding need for academic reflection on a unique arena of sporting culture</p><p>Provides fresh insight into the world of gender and sport</p><p>Enables new assessments of the problems and potential for gender equality in sporting culture  </p><p>   ​</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Drawing on research and personal experiences of working with family caregivers, this book examines a range of family caregiving situations from across the life course. It seeks to capture the dynamics of caregiving in a number of common situations: caregiving during infancy, for adults who acquire a disability through accidents or illness, for older people with age-related issues, and caregiving by children and adolescent carers and grandparent carers. In drawing attention to key moments of vulnerability faced by family and informal caregivers, and by suggesting how to assist ‘reconnection’ at these moments, the book provides a guide for those working in the area of health, disability and care.  Informal care is conceptualised as occurring with the context of personal interrelationships, these being nested within wider kin networks and linked with wider professional formal care networks.  Informal care is seen both as an expression of social capital and as an activity that builds social capital.  It is an indicator of resources of mutual support within social networks, and it has the effect of adding to the stock of social resources.  The book makes a case, therefore, for facilitating the development of social capital by strengthening the capacity of informal caregivers and caregiver groups, and by improving the linkages with formal care organisations. | <p>Caregiving situations at different life course stages </p><p>Focus on key moments of vulnerability faced by family and informal caregivers</p><p>Focus on facilitating the development of social capital </p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

In general, resilience refers to the capacity of those who, even under the most stressful circumstances, are able to cope, to rebound, and to go on and thrive.  Resilient families are able to regain their balance following crises that arise as a function of either nature or nurture, and to continue to encourage and support their members as they deal with the necessary requirements for accommodation, adaptation and, ultimately, healthy survival. Handbook of Family Resilience provides a broad body of knowledge regarding the traits and patterns found to characterize resilient individuals and well-functioning families, including those with diverse structures, various ethnic backgrounds and a variety of non-traditional forms.

It shows some of the relationships between equality in a political and social sense and personal identity that either relates well to such equality, or rebels against it. All this reflects processes of social and cultural influence that involve not only random change but also processes of social and cultural evolution that themselves have effects regarding potentials for self-fulfillment and even public morality. This book provides a framework to help one study the interaction between individual aspirations and social opportunities.[NAME], known for his writings in interdisciplinary social science, an approach he calls pragmatic critical theory, here provides a book that discusses issues relevant to the moral underpinnings of democratic society, including issues of social evolution and of culture and personality. This book will be of particular interest to scholars and students of Psychology (particularly in the areas of Psychology of Personality and Cultural Psychology), Sociology (especially those interested in Sociology of Alienation and Sociology of Culture, as well as Sociology of Mental Health), Anthropology (particularly in the area of Psychological Anthropology), Cultural Studies, and Social Theory in general. | <p>Illustrates the possibilities for Pragmatic Critical Theory </p><p>Describes the relevance of a psychodynamic perspective for the social sciences </p><p>Shows what a return of Critical Theory to its social science roots can produce</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

It reflects the recent and substantial development of the field, both with regard to theory and empirical research. It starts out by covering major theoretical perspectives, including the interactionist, identity, social exchange, social structure and the person perspectives. Next, it discusses development and socialization in childhood, adolescence and adulthood. In addition to updated discussions of topics that were included in the first edition, the part examining personal processes includes entirely new topics, such as social psychology and the body and individual agency and social motivation. Interpersonal processes are discussed from a contemporary perspective with a focus on stress and health. The final section examines the person in sociocultural context, and includes another topic new to the second edition, the social psychology of race and gender and intersectionality. | <p>Includes systematic discussions of research methods</p><p>Provides a broad overview of the field of social psychology</p><p>Includes chapters on new topics, updated chapters and contemporary perspectives</p><p> </p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

It discusses traditional modelling approaches to social norms and shows the usefulness of agent-based modelling for the study of these micro-macro interactions. Existing agent-based models of social norms are discussed and it is shown that so far too much priority has been given to parsimonious models and questions of the emergence of norms, with many aspects of social norms, such as norm-change, not being modelled.  [NAME] delinquency, group radicalisation and moral decision making are used as case studies for agent-based models of collective action extending existing models by providing an embedding into social networks, social influence via argumentation and a causal action theory of moral decision making. The major contribution of the book is to highlight the multifaceted nature of the dynamics of social norms, consisting not only of emergence, and the importance of embedding of agent-based models into existing theory. | <p>Contains the first systematical assessment of the contribution of Agent [NAME] to the analysis of norms and deviance</p><p>Provides a cognitive enrichment to the largely behavioural simulation models by formalizing and implementing a moral form of reasoning</p><p>Highlights the multifaceted nature of the dynamics of social norms</p><p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

The basic assumption is that the health of a population is not independent of broader demographic trends, and does follow the health transition model. The coverage is broad, ranging from health transition in developing countries, to the health of women, to an analysis of morbidity. Population health is an essential component of human and social development. As both a means and an end of development, health lies at the heart of underdevelopment, and ranks first on the list of international priorities. The WHO slogan ‘Health for all in 2000’ reflects the spirit of a more general movement in favor of health promotion throughout the world. But the developing world is far from reaching this aim. The health of populations has improved in developing regions but there are still deep inequalities, and serious problems remain, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. After reviewing the core concepts of population health, the book examines health transition in developing countries, a process that has resulted in a double burden of diseases. A discussion of mortality in developing countries serves to highlight the high rates of child mortality in these regions. The book devotes a full chapter to women’s health, and its chapter-length analysis of morbidity highlights the double burden weighing down developing populations and concludes with an analysis of health systems in developing countries. | <p>Provides an updated synthesis of population health, a crucial problem for developing countries   </p><p>Addresses current major epidemics and endemic diseases   </p><p>Covers women’s health, child mortality and health systems in developing countries</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

It is manifest in the revival of religious institutions and traditions in former communist countries, in political controversies about the relationship between the church(es) and the state and about the freedom of religion and the freedom to criticize religion, and in public unease about religious minorities. This book is about religion and civil society in Europe. It moves from general theoretical and normative approaches of this relationship, via the examination of national patterns of religion-state relations, to in-depth analyses of the impact of religion and secularization on the values, pro-social attitudes and civic engagement of individuals.

It provides an introduction to instruments for collecting internationally comparable data of interest to survey researchers. It shows how seven key demographic and socio-economic variables can be harmonised and employed in European comparative surveys. The seven key variables discussed in detail are: education, occupation, income, activity status, private household, ethnicity, and family. These demographic and socio-economic variables are background variables that no survey can do without. They frequently have the greatest explanatory capacity to analyse social structures, and are a mirror image of the way societies are organised nationally. This becomes readily apparent when one attempts, for example, to compare national education systems. Moreover, a comparison of the national definitions of concepts such as 'private household' reveals several different historically and culturally shaped underlying concepts. Indeed, some European countries do not even have a word for  'private household'. Hence such national definitions and categories cannot simply be translated from one culture to another. They must be harmonised.    ​ | <p>Provides harmonisation techniques for researchers engaged in cross-national comparative social science research in Europe</p><p>Discusses individual techniques of harmonisation using international comparison</p><p>Explains harmonisation techniques that can be used in survey research to align national systems of categories and definitions </p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

From cooperation in Justice and Home Affairs, originally conceived as the third pillar of European cooperation, has emerged the Area of Freedom, Security, and Justice (AFSJ). A unique aspect of policy in this area is the desire to integrate the internal and external dimensions of this policy area. One of the tensions in this policy area has been balancing the protection of fundamental rights and increasing security. The first part of this book focuses on the institutional relations of policymaking in AFSJ, both within member states and between member states, in particular the issues of national executive control, national parliamentary scrutiny and peer review across the member states with regard to AFSJ. The second part focuses on specific policy areas which are part of AFSJ. Two chapters highlight the tension found in this policy area between security and human or fundamental rights, the first related to data retention and the second on policing external borders. The final two chapters are concerned with data exchange among  European countries and transatlantically with the US, and the interface between AFSJ and the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP). The chapters contained in the book were presented at the Dutch Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations and the Dutch national parliament (Tweede Kamer), making it of interest to scholars and practitioners alike. | <p>​​Focuses on the institutional relations of policymaking in AFSJ, both within member states and between member states</p><p>Examines the peer review process for conduct evaluations by member states, in collaboration with the European Commission</p><p>Investigates the tension between security and fundamental rights, data retention, the policing of external borders and the interface of ASFJ with the Common Foreign and Security Policy​</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

These analytical techniques are illustrated mainly through modeling maternal and child health in the African context, using data from demographic and health surveys. In the past, the estimation of levels, trends and differentials in demographic and health outcomes in developing countries was heavily reliant on indirect methods that were devised to suit limited or deficient data. In recent decades, world-wide surveys like the World Fertility Survey and its successor, the Demographic and Health Survey have played an important role in filling the gap in survey data from developing countries. Such modern demographic and health surveys enable investigators to make in-depth analyses that guide policy intervention strategies, and such analyses require the modern and advanced statistical techniques covered in this book. The text is ideally suited for academics, professionals, and decision makers in the social and health sciences, as well as others with an interest in statistical modelling, demographic and health surveys. Scientists and students in applied statistics, epidemiology, medicine, social and behavioural sciences will find it of value. | <p>Examines household surveys data from Africa using novel techniques</p><p>State of the art techniques and their application to real world data</p><p>Empirical results and their implications for evidence-based policy interventions</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

This compilation addresses for the first time the “cyberization” of international relations - the growing dependence of actors in IR on the infrastructure and instruments of the internet, and the penetration of cyberspace into all fields of their activities. The volume approaches this topical issue in a comprehensive and interdisciplinary fashion, bringing together scholars from disciplines such as IR, security studies, ICT studies and philosophy as well as experts from everyday cyber-practice. In the first part, concepts and theories are presented to shed light on the relationship between cyberspace and international relations, discussing implications for the discipline and presenting fresh and innovative theoretical approaches. Contributions in the second part focus on specific empirical fields of activity (security, economy, diplomacy, cultural activity, transnational communication, critical infrastructure, cyber espionage, social media, and more) and address emerging challenges and prospects for international politics and relations. | <p>Presents new theoretical approaches on IR and cyber security</p><p>Broadens the understanding of how international relations are influenced by cyber issues</p><p>Innovative, comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach</p><p>Brings together well-known experts and scholars from various disciplines</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

This volume analyzes the Korean transition in regards to the political and institutional foundation of its government and public policies.  The government of Korea single-mindedly carried out public policies to stimulate economic growth, but the government and public policies have themselves been affected and changed by the process.  The contention of this volume is that the transition of Korean society and the evolution of the Korean government are the results of two-way interactions.  In this context, the volume analyzes the way in which the dynamics of public administration were shaped within the Korean government and the kinds of public policies and instruments that were adopted to encourage this economic and social development.  This analysis will allow a more complete understanding of the economic and social transformation of Korea.  Surprisingly, there is a paucity of research on this aspect—a gap which this volume seeks to fill.  This volume shows that it is necessary to maintain consistency and coherence in government and public policy in order to achieve economic and social transformation, making it of interest to both scholars and policy-makers concerned with development in the Asia-Pacific. | <p>​Examines the role of government in South Korea’s economic and social transformation during its developmental period </p><p>Sheds new light on the political and institutional foundations of Korean government’s administrative capacities and pro-growth policies   </p><p>Investigates the link between public administration and socio-economic growth​</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11643 | Business and Economics

Lower mortality led to greater survival by those who had suffered poor early life conditions.  As a consequence, the early life of these survivors may explain older adult health and in particular the projected increase in adult health disease and diabetes. Recent dietary changes may only compound such early life effects.  This study presents findings from historical and survey data on nearly 147,000 older adults in 20 low-, middle- and high-income countries which suggest that the survivors of poor early life conditions born during the 1930s-1960s are susceptible to disease later in life, specifically diabetes and heart disease.  As the evidence that the aging process is shaped throughout the entire life course increases, this book adds to the knowledge regarding early life events and older adult health. | <p>Tests a tantalizing conjecture regarding mortality decline of the 20th century, early life conditions and older adult health in low and middle income countries. </p><p>Uses a newly compiled cross national data set of over 144,000 older adults from 20 low, middle and high income countries in addition to using extensive historical data to test the conjecture</p><p>Adds to the knowledge regarding early life events and older adult health</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

This is one of the first attempts to do so in a systematic, comprehensive way. It challenges the assumption that Western theories of human communication and mass communication have universal applicability. It surveys the applicability of mass communication theories to other than Western cultures. The book explains the influence of culture on all forms of communication behavior, be it personal, mediated or mass communication. It presents communication theories from around the world, incorporating a vast body of literature from Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America. This updated information on important international perspectives that includes both interpersonal and mediated communication is presently not readily available in other sources. The book offers an integrated approach to understanding the working of electronic means of communication that are hybrid media combining human and mediated communication.

The site has international significance because of the extensive excavations of the Iron Age palisaded settlement and later earthen ramparts, complex gateway, and chevaux-de-frise of upright stones. It is now widely recognised that the Iron Age consisted of many regional cultural traditions, and the excavations at Castell Henllys provide a vital contrast to the well-known large hillfort communities in other parts of England and Wales as well as across Europe. As such, it is a unique window into a widespread but largely ignored site category and form of social and economic organisation. The publication will provide a case study for the construction and use of the earthworks of a major European late prehistoric settlement type – the Iron Age hillfort; the monumental construction is compared with other communal investments such as the Mississippian mounds. It will also offer an innovative form of site reporting, including alternative interpretations of the earthworks as either military defences or the community-binding symbols. Along with Excavation, Experiment, and Heritage Interpretation: Castell [NAME] Then and Now, these books will be required reading by those studying the late prehistoric archaeology of Britain and Europe at advanced undergraduate and postgraduate level, and by those in North America studying complex societies, monumentality, and ways of writing archaeology. | <p>​ Presents one of the most extensively excavated hillfort defences in Britain and Europe </p><p>Considers the social and environmental implications of hillfort construction in a comparative framework </p><p>Provides careful consideration of changing roles of heritage in cultural politics  </p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

Chapter 24: Volunteering, Civic Service and Civil Society in AfricaChapter 25: Philanthropic Foundations and Civil Society in Sub-Saharan AfricaChapter 26: Volunteering, Civic Agency and Citizenship in Africa | This volume brings together the most up to date analyses of civil society in Africa from the best scholars and researchers working on the subject. Being the first of its kind, it casts a panoramic look at the African continent, drawing out persisting, if often under-communicated, variations in regional discourses. In a majority of notionally ‘global’ studies, Africa has received marginal attention, a marginality often highlighted by the usual token chapter. Filling a critical hiatus, the Handbook of Civil Society in Africa takes Africa, African developments, and African perspectives very seriously and worthy of academic interrogation in their own right. It offers a critical, clear-sighted perspective on civil society in Africa, and positions African discourses within the framework of important regional and global debates. It promises to be an invaluable reference work for researchers and practitioners working in the fields of civil society, nonprofit studies, development studies, volunteerism, civic service, and African studies. 'This volume signposts a critical turning point in the renewed engagement with the theory and practice of civil society in Africa. Moving from traditional concerns with disquisitions on the appropriateness and possibility of the existence and vibrancy of the idea of civil society on the continent, the volume approaches the forms, contents, and features of the actually existing civil society in Africa from thematic, regional, and national angles. It demonstrates clearly the extent to which core intellectual work on civil society in Africa has largely moved from concerns with cultural reductionism to a nuanced examination of the complexities of  (formal, non-formal, organizational, non-organizational, traditional, newer, usual, unusual) engagements, detailing the extent to which, over time, civil society as a concept has been indigenized, appropriated and adapted in the terrains of politics, society, economy, culture and new technologies on the continent. In all this, the book accomplishes the near-impossible. Without sacrificing the vigour, rigor and freshness of the often unpredictable fruits of up-to-date research into regional and national differences that crop up in the documentation of Africa's multiple realities and discourses, the volume weaves together a rich tapestry of the historical, theoretical and practical dimensions of an expanding civil society sector, and accompanying growth in popular discourse, advocacy, and academic literature, in such a diverse continent as Africa, into a meaningful whole of insightful themes. Written and edited by a very distinguished cross-continental and multi-disciplinary collection of researchers, research students, practitioners and activists, the volume provides cutting-edge evidence and makes a definitive case for a new lease of life for civil society research in Africa.' -Adigun Agbaje,Professor of Political Science, University of Ibadan, Nigeria. | <p>​One of the first to aggregate current scholarly thinking on civil society in Africa from a variety of viewpoints </p><p>Discusses core themes, regional case studies, and development of civil society in Africa </p><p>Focuses on an idea that enjoys widespread currency in both academic and non-academic (including international development) circles</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

The discussion is set against the background of the Fourth World Conference on Women, 1995, in Beijing, in which a Platform for Action signed by heads of governments expressed their countries’ commitment to achieve ‘gender equality and empowerment of women’ through ensuring integration of the gender perspective at all levels. In Bangladesh, notable among the initiatives undertaken was the enactment of the Local Government (Union Parishads) (Second Amendment) of 1997, through which one-third of seats were reserved for women in the Union Parishad (UP) and the system of direct election was introduced to elect women members in reserved seats. The Act of 1997 is considered to be a milestone, since it has enhanced women’s participation in the local government politics significantly. Against this background, the specific research questions that have been addressed in this volume include: the necessity of reform for enhancing women’s participation in politics; the context against which the Government of Bangladesh enacted the Act and the reasons such an initiative was not taken earlier; the actors behind the reforms and their role in the reform process; and the impact of the reform on the state of women’s participation at the local level in Bangladesh. | <p>​The volume combines policy and gender issues in a single study </p><p>It explores the relationship between institutional reforms and women’s political participation in Bangladesh </p><p>It offers interesting insights for further research on women’s political participation in the South Asian region      </p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

This book takes a hard look at the existing evidence available to policymakers in different regions of the world. How much do we really know about the impact of environmental change on migration? How will different regions of the world be affected in the future?  Is there evidence to show that migration can help countries adapt to environmental change ? What types of research have been conducted, how reliable is the evidence? These are some of the questions considered in this book, which presents, for the first time, a synthesis of relevant research findings for each major region of the world.  Written by regional experts, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the key findings of existing studies on the linkages between environmental change and the movement of people. More and more reports on migration and the environment are being published, but the information is often scattered between countries and within regions, and it is not always clear how much of this information is based on solid research. This book brings this evidence together for the first time, highlighting innovative studies and research gaps.  In doing this, the book seeks to help decision-makers draw lessons from existing studies and to identify priorities for further research. | <p>Compares how each of the major regions of the world is likely to be affected by changes in the environment and migration</p><p>Provides regional policy perspectives</p><p>Each chapter is written by leading experts of the region, on the basis of a unified framework</p><p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

While these three thematic threads cut across each other, the actual chapters will be located so that the reader understand many of the current issues and concerns—with specific exemplars from around the globe—for ethnographers. '[NAME]: Transformations and Social Justice' will have its 'finger on the pulse' of contemporary ethnography. Chapters demonstrate up-to-the-moment awareness of ethnographic methods, concerns, and subject matters within contemporary ethnographic writing. Authors are deeply engaged in both their subject matter and their method. For example, discussion of ethical issues surrounding visual methods of 'collecting' for photo-ethnographies is anticipated as a potential hot topic for this book. Unlike other ethnographic books which often suggest 'giving voice to others', this book will actually give voice to a wide variety of perspectives, from the points of view of researchers. | <p>Provides cutting-edge research from a variety of content areas/exemplars </p><p>Provides up-to-date examination of ethnographic practices and methodologies </p><p>Demonstrates how ethnography can matter in the early 21st Century, in a world seemingly dominated by disinterest in social justice and transformative practices </p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

These issues include interpreting sites in inaccessible locations and extremely deep water, enabling and controlling access to fragile sites and restricted areas, monitoring visitor behavior, making information interesting to a wide audience, and creating opportunities for public engagement, among other concerns. Meeting Challenges presents cutting-edge interpretation and public education strategies for maritime resources, both on land and underwater, with emphasis on solving the unique problems often associated with presenting these fragile, limited-access sites as heritage attractions and on developing effective visitation and civic engagement opportunities. The examples presented ideally can serve as models for resource managers, archaeologists engaged in interpretation, and site administrators. This volume brings together a diverse group of heritage professionals to discuss issues they’ve encountered and to present ideas and case studies for adapting, improvising, and overcoming them. | <p>Imparts cutting-edge interpretation and public engagement strategies for maritime resources ​</p><p>Includes specific strategies for overcoming problems to enable public access in difficult sites </p><p>Case studies presented serve as models for resource managers, archaeologists, and administrators    </p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

[NAME] is understood in a variety of ways, which makes this an eclectic collection of papers. Authors use various theoretical frameworks to explore diverse groups of people with a variety of experiences in a wide range of settings. They are making sense of the experiences of women and men from a range of ethnic backgrounds, negotiating identities through family, work and education. The micro dynamics of the everyday offer an evocative 'bottom up' means of understanding the tensions implicit in living multiple belongings. The common thread for the collection comes from the glimpses these authors provide into the remaking of our globalized world. The aim is to shed light on racism, dislocation and alienation on the one hand, and on the other hand, to consider how the complex power relations within the everyday mediate a sense of resistance and hope. The papers are arranged around four themes; 1.      [NAME], 2.      Representing a Way of Being, 3.      Sexualised Identifications and 4.      Marriage and Family. | <p>Focuses on diasporic identification through family, work and education </p><p>Drawn from a range of ethnic backgrounds </p><p>Provides rich and evocative insights into the consequences of the world becoming a smaller place</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

By addressing this question the book contributes to three current debates with respect to EU migration management: 1) that recent developments in EU migration management represent a profound spatial and organizational reconfiguration of the regional governance of migration, 2) the trend towards the externalization or subcontracting of migration control and, 3) how the implications of Europe’s changing immigration policy are increasingly felt across the European neighborhood and beyond.  Based on new empirical research, the authors in this collection explore these three processes and their consequences for both member and non-member EU states, for migrants themselves, and for migration systems in the region. The collection indicates that despite the rhetoric of social and spatial integration across the EU region, as one wall has come down, new walls have gone up as novel migration and security policy frameworks have been erected – making European immigration more complex, and potentially more influential beyond the EU zone, than ever. | <p>Examines the impact of EU territoriality and migration management </p><p>Tackles contemporary theoretical arguments in the wider literature using case studies and empirical examples drawn from a broad geographical range</p><p>Includes authors drawn from various disciplinary backgrounds</p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

The authors Ghanaians and outsiders, have worked to understand the urban dynamics in this burgeoning West African metropolis, with an emphasis on urban disparities in health and living standards. Few cities in the global South have been examined from so many different perspectives. Our analysis employs a wide range of GIScience methods, including analysis of remotely sensed imagery and spatial statistical analysis, applied to a wide range of data, including census, survey and health clinic data, all of which are supplemented by field work, including systematic social observation, focus groups, and key informant interviews. This book aims to explain and highlight the mix of methods, and the important findings that have been emerging from this research, with the goal of providing guidance and inspiration for others doing similar work in cities of other developing nations. | <p>Provides an unique analyses of spatial inequalities in health and well-being in urban West Africa</p><p>Illustrates novel analytical approaches to health and well-being</p><p>Includes cutting edge applications of remote sensing analyses to urban public health</p><p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law

The Women’s Journaling Group Program is research-informed, theoretically-grounded, practice-based and feminist and gender-focused. This book, and the program model within it, is an important contribution to the field of critical feminist social work practice.​ | <p>​Focuses on depression in women as a result of violence </p><p>Written from a feminist and gender-informed perspective </p><p>Introduces an innovative and creative group work program</p> | Professionals | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11640 | Behavioral Science

It is based on an interdisciplinary and trans-regional dialogue between scholars from different social sciences and area studies such as political science, economics, management, economic and social geography, history, social anthropology and linguistics as well as Middle East/West Asian, gulf and African studies, and develops four major axes of research:- Oman’s integration into global and regional flows of goods, capital, people and ideas;- The multi-scaled political negotiation of such integration (or disintegration) processes;- Consequences of suchlike processes and forms of regionalization for (translocal) actors;- Ideas and strategic communication of regional belonging and the constitution of regions.Each chapter deals with one or more of these issues. Part I deals with concepts of regionalisation and region-building and presents different approaches that accentuate certain dimensions of these processes and come from different disciplinary backgrounds. Part II focuses on the translocal, transnational and (trans)regional movement of people, their practices and imaginations, be they contemporary labour in- and out-migrants, returnees from Eastern Africa or nomadic tribal members. Part III takes a closer look particularly at economic issues and regionalisation processes that are mainly based on multiple trade links, regional development policies or politics of regionalism. Part IV analyses political and socio-cultural issues in regional and global perspectives. | <p>Addresses the historical structures and current dynamics of Oman’s regionalization processes and their political, economic and social dimensions </p><p>Presents and interdisciplinary and transregional dialogue between scholars from different social sciences and area studies</p><p>Develops four major axes of research of Oman’s regionalization </p> | Science | Professional Books (2) | 0 | EBOP11648 | Humanities, Social Sciences and Law
