Автор: Julian Smith Название: Investigating Sociological Theory ISBN: 1681178346 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781681178349 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 244510.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: A theory is a set of interrelated concepts, definitions, and propositions that explains or predicts events or situations by specifying relations among variables. A sociological theory is a set of ideas that provides an explanation for human society. Sociology as an academic discipline emerged in the later part of the nineteenth century. From the beginning, it attempted to define itself against other forms of explanation, including other types of social theory. Sociological theory emerges out of attempts to provide explanatory frameworks that link specific aspects of the social world to larger processes, thus helping us to contextualize them and to understand them. Just like chemistry tests information about the composition of chemical elements and physics explains how magnets work, sociological theories have a distinct contribution to human knowledge. Sociologists focus on how a society is structured, how each and every individual works as part of the whole, how society has changed over the years and predictions of future changes. In other words, sociological theories help people understand society and knowledge of the world as it grows. However, sociological theory has been and continues to be influenced by the numerous strands of thought in other social and human sciences. It responds, as it always has done, to profound, ongoing transformation in the social, political and economic arrangements of the world. This book presents studies with an opportunity to discuss the big questions in theory, history, social order, and social change. It is not possible to make decisions affecting a certain community without deep knowledge of its structure, as miscalculated decisions can have a severe impact on peoples lives. Confronting a problem, such as high criminal rates, indulge drinking and social discrimination, entails decision makers to know what exactly the problem is and its causes. Sociological theories provide an insight on such issues, making it easier and safer for elected representatives to find solutions to social problems. This book will be of interest to students and instructors to understand sociological theory from the inside.

Since 2012 he has been working on an experimental flower bed in the famous garden of Great Dixter in East Sussex, in close collaboration with the head gardener, Fergus Garrett. In this new book he explains the devlopment of his style over the last few years - a pivotal time for his design work - and describes the philosophy by which he works.The first section contains texts and images that explore the garden at Great Dixter and Luciano's work there, across all four seasons.
The second section examines Luciano's love of craft and traditionally made objects, and - through visits to and discussion with craftsmen in the UK and beyond - explores the contribution such work makes to his garden design.The third section constitutes a wider investigation of Luciano's influences under the broad themes of water, colour and texture, illustrating with photographs and words exactly what it is about the world that inspires him and how that is manifested in his designs, with specific reference to his gardens for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in 2014 and the Venice Biennale in 2015. The gardens are described and illustrated in full with specially commissioned photographs by Andrew Montgomery and Carl Bengston. Full plants lists are also included.

Описание: Early-20th-century explorations of the Roman Forum at Corinth revealed a massive early imperial building now known as the Julian Basilica. Within it was one of the largest known shrines to the imperial cult and the likely site of the imperial court of law for the Roman province of Achaia.
In the spirit of The Boys in the Boat comes the captivating true story of the native Hawaiian cowboys who traveled to Wyoming in 1908 to compete at the world championships of rodeo, overcoming prejudice to beat the greatest white cowboys at their own game and return home American legends.
On August 21, 1908, three young Hawaiians arrived at the Cheyenne rodeo grounds for the granddaddy of all rodeo competitions: the Cheyenne Roundup. Few people took them seriously as competitors. This was Wyoming, after all, home to cattle men as rugged as the landscape they worked. But over the next four days, these Hawaiian cowboys-or paniolos-would shock the world, establishing a new record in steer-roping and riding out of town in a blaze of glory.
In Aloha Rodeo, David Wolman and Julian Smooth unspool a fascinating never-before-told tale that blends Americana and a rousing underdog narrative. Tracing the story of Ikua Purdy, the master steer-roper, and his compatriots-and delving as well into the histories of both colonial Hawaii and cattle ranching-they paint an indelible portrait of Hawaii and the American West in the early days of the twentieth century. Hawaii had in 1898 been annexed by the United States, much to its citizens' chagrin; here was a chance to not only demonstrate their skill in a contest that white Americans thought they owned-but also to revise whatever prejudiced and simplistic narrative about Hawaiians may have been taking root in the minds of mainland Americans. Their victory would earn them legitimacy and gain the admiration of President Theodore Roosevelt (who was astonished but very much pleased) and the rest of the country.
Casting a new light on cowboys, the frontier, colonialism, and the nature of American identity, Aloha Rodeo recaptures a fascinating and long-forgotten chapter of American history.
