Larry May
The Socially Responsive Self: Social Theory and Professional Ethics

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Larry May argues that socially responsive individuals need not be self-sacrificing or overly conscientious. According to May, a person`s integrity and moral responsibility are shaped and limited not just by conscience but also by socialization and moral support from the communities to which he or she belongs. Applying his theory of responsibility to professional ethics, May contends that current methods of professional socialization should be changed so that professionals are not expected to ignore considerations of personal well-being, family, or community. For instance, lawyers should not place client loyalty above concerns for the common good, doctors should not place the physical well-being of patients above their mental and spiritual well-being, scientists and engineers should not feel obliged to blow the whistle on fraud and corruption unless their professional groups protect them from retaliation. This book should prove provocative reading for philosophers,… [detailed...]

Description: This beautifully illustrated book highlights the unique history of The SociA©tA© Anonyme, Inc., an organization founded in 1920 by the artists Katherine S. Dreier (1877–1952), Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968), and Man Ray (1890–1976). As America’s first “experimental museum” for modern art, the SociA©tA© Anonyme provided a means for artists, rather than historians, to chronicle the rise of modernism.

The Society of Princes: The Lorraine-guise and the Conservation of Power and Wealth in Seventeenth-century France

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The princes etrangers, or the foreign princes, were an influential group of courtiers in early modern France, who maintained their unofficial status as `foreigners` due to membership in sovereign ruling families. Arguably the most influential of these were the princes of Lorraine, a sovereign state on France`s eastern border. During the sixteenth century the Lorraine-Guise dominated the culture and politics of France, gaining a reputation as a powerful, manipulative family at the head of the Catholic League in the Wars of Religion and with close relationships with successive Valois monarchs and Catherine de Medici. After the traumas of 1588, however, although they fade from the narrative history of France, they nevertheless remain at the pinnacle of political culture until the end of the eighteenth century.This book examines the lesser-known period for the Guise at the later stages of the ancient regime, focusing on the recovery of lost fortunes, prestige, favour and influence that… [detailed...]

Description: This collection of essays continues Barrett`s investigations into implementing networked online systems described in his first book Text, ConText, and HyperText, with a more focused emphasis on specific hypermedia systems. In four parts the 22 essays take up designing hypertext and hypermedia systems for the online user, textual intervention and collaboration, new roles for writers, and sensemaking and learning in the online environment. In his introduction, Barrett analyzes the design of networked online systems as part of a collaborative process, asserting that the online environment fosters collaboration by using computer technology to support interaction among those who design, use, and write software. The first five essays present a genealogy of hypertext development, assess various hypertext designs, discuss users` wants and needs, and analyze the `rhetoric` of hypertext applications in light of new models for computer human interaction.

Description: This book contains a selection of papers presented at the Advanced Research Workshop on ‘The Socio-economic causes and consequences of desertification in Central Asia’ held in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, in June 2006. The meeting provided a forum for scientists from Central Asia and NATO countries to discuss the human dimensions of the desertification process. Papers presented to the meeting examined recent scientific evidence on the impact of desertification and contributed to the formulation of coherent national and regional policies for the management of watersheds, rangelands, and irrigated agriculture. These issues were examined from the perspective of environmental policy formulation, with respect to overgrazing by livestock, and in terms of a series of case studies of natural resource degradation and desertification control.

Description: Book DescriptionThis is the second in a series of books intended to review and evaluate the most popular and influential explanations for gambling and the many research studies that have been conducted to confirm or refute them. This book focuses on the contributions of specialists in the social sciences, most of whom are convinced that gambling is a consequence of the social or subcultural environment in which the gambler lives. To further the understanding of why people gamble, investigators went to places where gambling occurred and spent time among and interacted with the gamblers. Some attended Gamblers Anonymous meetings and others became participant observers in gambling establishments by becoming employed as roulette croupiers or card dealers. Topics covered include the gambler`s point of view, the researcher`s point of view, social structure, economics, statistical tests of earlier ideas, special populations, `armchair` theories, gambling and the public, problem correlates,… [detailed...]

The Sociology of Job Training, Volume 12 (Research in the Sociology of Work)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionHardbound. How workers learn how to do their jobs is central to an understanding of the changing nature of work in post-industrial society. The role of job or worker training has, however, been underdeveloped in sociological theories of work and the labor market. By most accounts, the ongoing penetration of information technology into the workplace, a transformed socioeconomic lifecourse, managerial preferences for high performance organizations, and the globalization of labor markets have collectively rendered traditional models of skill acquisition badly outmoded. This volume offers sophisticated sociological analyses of job training that go well beyond standard accounts of general versus specific skills and overly simple assumptions about employer and worker behavior. The chapters examine such topics as the incentives available to employers to provide training, socially structured inequalities in access to training, and cross-societal differences in t [detailed...]

The Sociology of Loyalty

2007 y.
Publisher: Springer
Description: The sociology of emotions is currently a significant field of research but loyalty has not been addressed directly by emotions theorists. This proposed book would take the concept of loyalty (What is loyalty? How does it fit into the study of emotions? What are the different types of loyalty? etc.) and place it in the sociology of emotions field. By drawing on current theorists, current and historical examples (including the areas of family, nation, sports, etc.) the book clearly establishes the components of loyalty and its place with in the theories of emotion. Additionally it develops the theoretical understanding of emotions by taking a previously ignored – yet highly topical – emotion and placing it within the theoretical perspective. Specifically, this book explains loyalties: why we have them and what they do for us and society. It also places loyalty into the study of emotions such as trust and shame. [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionThis book promotes an understanding of the origins and dynamics of the software industry in a number of key emerging markets - Brazil, China, India and Israel, and to establish what experiences, if any, are potentially replicable in otherprevailing markets. In-depth interviews with leading players in the industry are combined with other new data to provide a comparative study of the dynamics of the sector in emerging markets, to emphasize the public policy implications of these developments, and place them in a wider international context. The last 25 years have seen an explosive growth in the software industry, which is still overwhelmingly dominated by firms from North America and Europe. The authors argue that a number of companies from emerging markets have made significant headway and have even consolidated their positions on account of major cost advantages. They go on to explain the factors behind these developments, and conclude that the software industry,… [detailed...]
