Migration and Development A Global Perspective

Migration and Development A Global Perspective

The first text that specifically links both international and internal migration with development at a global level. The world is divided into a series of functionally integrated development zones which are identified not simply on the basis of their level of development but also through their spatial patterns and historical experience of migration. Migration and Development stresses the importance of migration in discussing regional rather than simply country differences. These variations in mobility are placed within the context of a global hierarchy although regional national and local cultural and social conditions are certainly not ignored in this wide-ranging work. | Migration and Development A Global Perspective

Novels and the Sociology of the Contemporary

Novels and the Sociology of the Contemporary

This book substantiates two claims. First the modern world was not simply produced by objective factors rooted in geographical discoveries and scientific inventions to be traced to economic technological or political factors but is the outcome of social cultural and spiritual processes. Among such factors beyond the Protestant ethic (Max Weber) the rise of the absolutist state and its disciplinary network (Michel Foucault) or court society (Norbert Elias) a prime role is played by theatre. The modern reality is deeply theatricalized. Second a special access for studying this theatricalized world is offered by novels. The best classical novels not simply can be interpreted as describing a world like the theatre but they capture and present a world that has become thoroughly transformed into a global theatre. The theatre effectively transformed the world and classical novels effectively analyze this theatricalized reality – much better than the main instruments supposedly destined to study reality philosophy and sociology. Thus instead of using the technique of sociology to analyze novels the book will treat novels as a royal road to analyze a theatricalized reality in order to find our way back to a genuine and meaningful life. | Novels and the Sociology of the Contemporary

The Routledge Handbook of the Bioarchaeology of Human Conflict

The Routledge Handbook of the Bioarchaeology of Human Conflict

If human burials were our only window onto the past what story would they tell? Skeletal injuries constitute the most direct and unambiguous evidence for violence in the past. Whereas weapons or defenses may simply be statements of prestige or status and written sources are characteristically biased and incomplete human remains offer clear and unequivocal evidence of physical aggression reaching as far back as we have burials to examine. Warfare is often described as ‘senseless’ and as having no place in society. Consequently its place in social relations and societal change remains obscure. The studies in The Routledge Handbook of the Bioarchaeology of Human Conflict present an overview of the nature and development of human conflict from prehistory to recent times as evidenced by the remains of past people themselves in order to explore the social contexts in which such injuries were inflicted. A broadly chronological approach is taken from prehistory through to recent conflicts however this book is not simply a catalogue of injuries illustrating weapon development or a narrative detailing ‘progress’ in warfare but rather provides a framework in which to explore both continuity and change based on a range of important themes which hold continuing relevance throughout human development.

State Looteries Historical Continuity Rearticulations of Racism and American Taxation

State Looteries Historical Continuity Rearticulations of Racism and American Taxation

Fifty years ago familiar images of the lottery would have been strange as no state lottery existed then. Few researchers have uncovered the obscure role lotteries play in the changing composition of American taxation. Even less is known about what role race plays in this process. More than simply taxing those on the social margins the emergence of state lotteries in contemporary American history represents something much more fundamental about state fiscal policy. This book not only uncovers the underlying racial factors that contextualize lottery proliferation in the U. S. but also reveals the racial consequences that lotteries have in terms of redistributing tax liability. | State Looteries Historical Continuity Rearticulations of Racism and American Taxation

Making Architecture Through Being Human A Handbook of Design Ideas

Making Architecture Through Being Human A Handbook of Design Ideas

Architecture can seem complicated mysterious or even ill-defined especially to a student being introduced to architectural ideas for the first time. One way to approach architecture is simply as the design of human environments. When we consider architecture in this way there is a good place to start – ourselves. Our engagement in our environment has shaped the way we think which we in turn use to then shape that environment. It is from this foundation that we produce meaning make sense of our surroundings structure relationships and even frame more complex and abstract ideas. This is the start of architectural design. Making Architecture Through Being Human is a reference book that presents 51 concepts notions ideas and actions that are fundamental to human thinking and how we interpret the environment around us. The book focuses on the application of these ideas by architectural designers to produce meaningful spaces that make sense to people. Each idea is isolated for clarity in the manner of a dictionary with short and concise definitions examples and illustrations. They are organized in five sections of increasing complexity or changing focus. While many of the entries might be familiar to the reader they are presented here as instances of a larger system of human thinking rather than simply graphic or formal principles. The cognitive approach to these design ideas allows a designer to understand the greater context and application when aligned with their own purpose or intentions. | Making Architecture Through Being Human A Handbook of Design Ideas
