Law, Crime and Deviance since 1700 - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Law, Crime and Deviance since 1700 - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title 2017 Law, Crime and Deviance since 1700 explores the potential for the ‘micro-study’ approach to the history of crime and legal history. A selection of in-depth narrative micro-studies are featured to illustrate specific issues associated with the theme of crime and the law in historical context. The methodology used unpacks the wider historiographical and contextual issues related to each thematic area and facilitates discussion of the wider implications for the history of crime and social relations. The case studies in the volume cover a range of incidents relating to crime, law and deviant behaviour since 1700, from policing vice in Victorian London to chain gang narratives from the southern United States. The book concludes by demonstrating how these narratives can be brought together to produce a more nuanced history of the area and suggests avenues for future research and study.

Qualitative Studies of Exploration in Childhood Education - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Qualitative Studies of Exploration in Childhood Education - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This book uses the concept of exploration as a way of understanding transitions in children between the ages of 5 to 18 years old. Written by an international group of scholars from Australia, Brazil, China, Denmark, Finland, Greenland, India, Norway and the UK, the chapters offer a diverse set of case studies. The topics and themes covered include transitions in outdoor playtime, the transition to daycare, compassion in kindergarten, learning with fathers, transitions of Chinese traditional culture and disability. The chapters are organised into two parts, the first part covering macro transitions and the second covering micro-genetic transitions. The contributors show how both macro and micro-genetic transitions influence children’s everyday lives, and how these different transitions open up new possibilities for play, learning and development. The contributors draw on Vygotsky’s cultural historical theory and the understanding that children’s cultural formation takes form in a dialectic relation between children’s interests and motives and the institutional settings they participate in.

Financing for Overcoming Economic Insecurity - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Financing for Overcoming Economic Insecurity - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on bloomsburycollections.com.The world is witnessing the paradox of simultaneous increase in income and insecurity. According to available data, global average per capita income has increased in recent decades, while at the same time actual and perceived insecurity has also increased. This paradox is true for both developed and developing countries. However, the concrete form and causes of insecurity differs across these two groups of countries. To the extent that income levels in many developing countries are very low, economic insecurity in these countries takes a starker and chronic form. In Financing for Overcoming Economic Insecurity , leading experts examine the causes and consequences of rising economic insecurity and policy measures that can be adopted to overcome insecurity. The volume contains papers addressing issues of economic insecurity pertaining to both developed and developing countries and caused by both economic factors and natural hazards. It also discusses the issues at both macro and micro levels. The volume’s focus on policy measures, such as redistribution and reinvestment of profit income in developed countries and imposition of capital control and promotion of micro insurance in developing countries, should be of much help to policymakers as well as researchers.

New Media Discourses, Culture and Politics after the Arab Spring - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

New Media Discourses, Culture and Politics after the Arab Spring - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This book investigates the interplay between media, politics, religion, and culture in shaping Arabs’ quest for more stable and democratic governance models in the aftermath of the “Arab Spring” uprisings. It focuses on online mediated public debates, specifically user comments on online Arab news sites, and their potential to re-engage citizens in politics. Contributors systematically explore and critique these online communities and spaces in the context of the Arab uprisings, with case studies, largely centered on Egypt, covering micro-bloggers, Islamic discourse online, Libyan nationalism on Facebook, and a computational assessment of online engagement, among other topics.

Why Some Development Works - Meera (university Of East London Tiwari - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Why Some Development Works - Meera (university Of East London Tiwari - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Why do some development projects succeed where others fail? This book looks at some macro and some less known micro success stories and considers what enabled them to bring change in some of the world’s most deprived communities. Using case studies from ten countries across Latin America, Africa, and Asia, Tiwari’s innovative approach offers a multi-layered understanding of poverty which provides insights into causal, enabling and impeding factors. While a macro level analysis of development is a common feature of the current literature, there has been little attempt to develop a micro level understanding of development at the grassroots.Tiwari’s work fills this important gap while drawing attention to the importance of engaging local actors at an individual, collective, and state level, demonstrating how achieving a “convergence” of goals among all actors is a crucial component to a development project’s success.Looking beyond the case studies to consider how this unique “convergence framework” might be usefully applied to other contexts, the book has profound implications for how we view fragile states and conflict zones, and the ability of the international agencies to take effective action. A unique study based on extensive empirical research, Why Some Development Works will make essential reading for students and researchers studying international development across the social sciences, as well as humanitarian and development practitioners and policy makers.

Ghosts of the Near Future - Pj Stanley - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

It''s easy to make you disappear, she says. And the figure is gone. Just like that. In Vegas, a magician performs a final disappearing act. The end of the world is a magic trick – are you watching closely? Ghosts of the Near Future is a cowboy-noir fever dream about extinction. Colliding music, storytelling, and live micro-cinema, it is a hallucinatory road-trip through a vanishing landscape, a haunting collage of miracles and misdirection. It takes us to the brink of disaster and asks whether we’re ready for what comes next.This edition was published to coincide with the production at Summerhall, Edinburgh, in August 2022.

Omnia Sunt Communia - Massimo De Angelis - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Omnia Sunt Communia - Massimo De Angelis - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

In this weaving of radical political economy, Omnia Sunt Communia sets out the steps to postcapitalism. By conceptualising the commons not just as common goods but as a set of social systems, Massimo De Angelis shows their pervasive presence in everyday life, mapping out a strategy for total social transformation.From the micro to the macro, De Angelis unveils the commons as fields of power relations – shared space, objects, subjects – that explode the limits of daily life under capitalism. He exposes attempts to co-opt the commons, through the use of code words such as ''participation'' and ''governance'', and reveals the potential for radical transformation rooted in the reproduction of our communities, of life, of work and of society as a whole.

British Microcars 1947–2002 - Duncan Cameron - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

British Microcars 1947–2002 - Duncan Cameron - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

From the 1940s to the 1960s, the microcar posed a challenge to the large companies that mass-produced cars to uniform designs. The microcar was the opposite, produced by small entrepreneurial start-ups using quirky design concepts that offered motorists cheaper and more economical vehicles. This book is a beautifully illustrated history of the British microcar, from the early days of Bond and Reliant to the proliferation of micro marques during the 1950s and their demise during the 1960s. It explores many eccentric British concepts, comparing the cars to their influential European competitors, examining the social and economic reasons for the decline and disappearance of the microcar, but also saluting the signs of a microcar renaissance in the twenty-first century, this time from mainstream manufacturers.

Evangelical Christian Responses to Islam - Richard Mccallum - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Evangelical Christian Responses to Islam - Richard Mccallum - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Do Christians and Muslims worship the same God? Who was Muhammad? How does the Israeli–Palestinian conflict affect Christian–Muslim relations? This is a book about Evangelical Christians and how they are answering challenging questions about Islam.Drawing on over 300 texts published by Evangelicals in the first two decades of the twenty-first century, this book explores what the Evangelical micro-public sphere has to say about key issues in Christian–Muslim relations today. From the books they write, the blogs they post and the videos they make, it is clear that Evangelical Christians profoundly disagree with one another when discussing Islam. Answers to the questions range from seeing Muslims as the enemy posing an existential threat to Christians, through to welcoming them as good neighbours or even as close cousins.

War and the City - Sara Fregonese - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

War and the City - Sara Fregonese - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

War and the City examines the geopolitical significance of the Lebanese Civil War through a micro-level exploration of how the urban landscape of Beirut was transformed by the conflict. Focusing on the initial phase of the war in 1975 and 1976, the volume also draws significant parallels with more recent occurrences of internecine conflict and with the historical legacies of Lebanon’s colonial past. While most scholarship has thus far focused on post-war reconstruction of the city, the initial process of destruction has been neglected. This volume thus moves away from formal macro-level geopolitical analysis, to propose instead an exploration of the urban nature of conflict through its spaces, infrastructures, bodies and materialities. The book utilizes urban viewpoints in order to highlight the nature of sovereignty in Lebanon and how it is inscribed on the urban landscape. War and the City presents a view of geopolitics as not only shaping narratives of international relations, but as crucially reshaping the space of cities.

Science and Affect in Contemporary Literature - Shannon Lambert - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Science and Affect in Contemporary Literature - Shannon Lambert - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Moving from the micro world of quantum physics to the macro scales of earth science and ecology, this book considers how, in contemporary literature, affective experiences like desire, suffering, anxiety, and joy shape scientific persons, practices, and products. This book brings into dialogue close readings of scientific writing and contemporary literary works by authors like Jeanette Winterson, Richard Powers, Hanya Yanagihara, Thalia Field, and Jenny Offill. Combining narrative and affect studies, it uses formal strategies such as moving metaphor, visceral or affective description, plot-level analogy, contraction, and rhythm to engage with western scientific epistemologies, which still tends towards the impassive, universal, and objective.While each chapter focuses on a different field (or fields) of science, all foreground bodies—human and nonhuman—as a way of exploring knowledge production. Through close readings, the book argues that select ‘scientific stories’ raise important questions about how ‘knowledge’ is defined and who (and what) is invited into its processes of production.

Alcohol in the Early Modern World - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Alcohol in the Early Modern World - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This book examines how the profound religious, political, and intellectual shifts that characterize the early modern period in Europe are inextricably linked to cultural uses of alcohol in Europe and the Atlantic world. Combining recent work on the history of drink with innovative new research, the eight contributing scholars explore themes such as identity, consumerism, gender, politics, colonialism, religion, state-building, and more through the revealing lens of the pervasive drinking cultures of early modern peoples. Alcohol had a place at nearly every European table and a role in much of early modern experience, from building personal bonds via social and ritual drinking to fueling economies at both micro and macro levels. At the same time, drinking was also at the root of a host of personal tragedies, including domestic violence in the home and human trafficking across the Atlantic. Alcohol in the Early Modern World provides a fascinating re-examination of pre-modern beliefs about and experiences with intoxicating beverages.

Free Movement of Legal Ideas - Thomas Wilhelmsson - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Free Movement of Legal Ideas - Thomas Wilhelmsson - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

This seminal book develops a new perspective on the debate concerning the Europeanisation of private law. The theory is both realistic, building on existing experience, and normative as it focuses on the future. It outlines ‘good’ Europeanisation in which legal sources can be used across borders; hence the free movement of legal ideas. At its core, is the analysis of the legal consequences of growing societal uncertainty and increasing use of micro-politics, leading to a situation where the law develops through small narratives rather than according to a coherent master plan. The inevitable rule of law concerns around such a development, have to be addressed by transparent legal reasoning. The author masterfully illustrates how this can be achieved in decision-making across Europe, drawing on arguments which are both substantive and authoritative in nature. He shows how all legal actors, including decision-makers and scholars, are morally responsible for the choices made.This is a fascinating intervention in the field of European private law by one of its leading authorities.

Migrant Workers' Education in China - Dr Fusheng Jia - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Migrant Workers' Education in China - Dr Fusheng Jia - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Based on an extended period of ethnographic research and observation of migrant workers’ educational programmes, this book presents a theoretical exploration of social and educational issues in an industrialised area in south China. It highlights the tensions existing between the traditional ideology stressing collectivism, selfless devotion and teacher-centred teaching, and the new social practices promoting commercialization, personal development and interactive teaching. The author provides first-hand descriptions and analyses of rural-urban migrant workers’ lives, work and education. He develops the ethnographic approach by analysing the tensions and contradictions in the implementation processes of educational policies in the region. The book argues that the educational programmes, which focused on elite workers to support the development of industrialization and urbanization projects, assisted migrant workers as students in promoting their aspirations. However, this also stratified migrant workers, thus increasing gaps in socioeconomic status and professional development. Education policy design and implementation are observed as a dynamic process, thus contributing to a nuanced understanding of adult education and migration at a micro level.
