Theories of Computability

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Broad in coverage, mathematically sophisticated, and up to date, this book provides an introduction to theories of computability. It treats not only `the` theory of computability (the theory created by Alan Turing and others in the 1930s), but also a variety of other theories (of Boolean functions, automata and formal languages) as theories of computability. These are addressed from the classical perspective of their generation by grammars and from the more modern perspective as rational cones. The treatment of the classical theory of computable functions and relations takes the form of a tour through basic recursive function theory, starting with an axiomatic foundation and developing the essential methods in order to survey the most memorable results of the field. This authoritative account, written by one of the leading lights of the subject, will be required reading for graduate students and researchers in theoretical computer science and mathematics.

Theories of Counseling and Psychotherapy: A Case Approach

2008 y.
Publisher: Prentice Hall
Description: Based on a deeply held belief that theory does matter in effective helper–client interactions, this text examines with clarity and wit fourteen theories of counseling and psychotherapy. At the beginning each chapter, readers “meet” a new client through a case example. The author then presents the theory’s basic philosophical assumptions, its beliefs about what motivates human behavior, its central constructs, its picture of how humans develop, its ideas about what constitutes mental health and dysfunction, its perspective on how our relationships with those around us impact our functioning, and its view of how our behavior, thoughts, and emotion impact our functioning. Throughout each chapter, the author immediately illustrates the application of a construct or process by showing how it relates to the client case described at the beginning of the chapter, demonstrating the translation of each theory into practice.

Theories of Development

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The stakes involved in development debates are enormous. While development can use the productive resources of society to improve the living conditions of the world`s most vulnerable people, it can also form the basis of intense manipulative power on behalf of elites. This important new text surveys the leading theories and models of economic and social development. Chapters examine sociological,economic, neo-Marxist, poststructuralist, feminist, and radical democratic approaches, as well as an array of development models including modernization, dependency, and neoliberalism. Reaching conclusions at odds with much of the recent literature, this volume is critical of neoliberal, market-driven economic growth, arguing instead that an alternative,democratic form of development remains a viable possibility.

Theories of Human Development

2007 y.
Publisher: Psychology Press
Description: Intended for courses on theories of human development, this new text presents nine theories grouped into three major families - those that emphasize biological systems, those that emphasize environmental factors, and those that emphasize a dynamic interaction between biological and environmental forces. The nine theories selected have a long and productive history in human development and continue to evolve as a result of new insights. The inclusion of social role theory and life course theory expand the book`s relevance to the study of adulthood and aging. Grouping the theories by families enhances students` ability to think critically about theoretical ideas, assess the strengths and weaknesses of each theory, and gain a deeper understanding of how each theory guides research and application. The three families are introduced with a brief overview of the unique perspectives of each theory and the rationale for grouping these theories together. Discussion of each… [detailed...]

Divided into three parts, this compelling work reviews classic economic analyses of labor and value (Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Thomas R.

This is a key concept for Marx, since capitalism maintains its power through controlling surplus value. [detailed...]

Frank Webster
Theories of the Information Society

2006 y.
Publisher: Routledge
Description: Information is a distinguishing feature of the modern world. Where once economies were built on industry and conquest, we are now part of a global information economy. Pervasive media, burgeoning information occupations and the development of the Internet convince many that living in an Information Society is the destiny of us all. Information`s presence appears evident everywhere, from daily interaction in postmodern styles to the waging of Information War, from information intensive labour to the iPOD. Coping in an era of information flows, of virtual relationships and breakneck change appears to pose challenges to one and all. In `Theories of the Information Society` Frank Webster sets out to make sense of the information explosion, taking a sceptical look at what thinkers mean when they refer to the Information Society, and critically examining the major post-war theories and approaches to informational development. The third edition of this classic study brings it right up… [detailed...]

Description: This collection challenges many of the comfortable assumptions unleashed by the euphoria of democratization and market capitalism in the years post-Glasnost. The transformations underway in post-Communist societies after 1989 have generated complex and highly differentiated regional systems of adjustment. The contributions by geographers, economists, sociologists, feminists, and planners examine the theoretical perspectives on transition, industrial and regional restructuring, agrarian change, de-collectivization and rural struggles in a variety of eastern and central European contexts. Theorising Transition provides both a rich empirical map of the dimensions of post-Communism and raises important theoretical issues about how we interpret these changes. [detailed...]

Theorizing Museums: Representing Identity and Diversity in a Changing World

Description: Museums are key cultural loci of our times. They are symbols and sites for the playing out of social relations of identity and difference, knowledge and power, theory and representation. These are issues at the heart of contemporary anthropology, sociology and cultural studies. This volume brings together original contributions from international scholars to show how social and cultural theory can bring new insight to debate about museums. Analytical perspectives on the museum are drawn from the anthropology and sociology of globalization, time, space and consumption, as well as from feminism, psychoanalysis, experimental ethnography and literary theory. These perspectives are brought to bear on questions of museums` changing role and position in the representation of the nation-state, of community, and of gender, class and ethnicity. The examples in this book are drawn from different kinds of museum around the world, and include significant controversial and experimental exhibitions,… [detailed...]
