Paperback. Zustand: New. An adjustment to severe disability is accompanied by significant changes in several dimensions-psychological (lowered self-esteem), physical (restricted mobility), and social (changed social identity, the epithet "disabled). Such sudden changes also require short-term (physical) and long-term (psychological and social) adjustments. In other words, the investigation of adjustment to a disability provides a unique opportunity to explore various facets of human adjustment strategies and processes.This book bridges gaps among disability, culture, and communication and it offers the reader a rare glimpse of a world of people with disabilities in which their identity transformations, communication tactics as the disabled, or adjustment to new bodies, including temporal and spatial senses, emerge. This book is informative for health professionals, or students of communication, sociology, disability studies, cultural studies, or medical anthropology who wish to explore disability from a social science perspective.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. Second Edition. Most communication research and most applications of that research acknowledge the process nature of communication. However, the material following that acknowledgment confirms to traditional linear and static approaches treating communication as little more than printed text. This Print Paradigm persists despite repeated calls to explore the more dynamic nature of communication. In this second edition, the author updates and expands his argument that communication is a process analogous to the complexity in other living systems. Complexity theory models biological principles similar to how chaos theory treats chemical and physical processes. The book begins with a review of philosophical and social psychological thought as a basis for explaining the mathematical and natural science models. The volume reviews a remarkable range of material stretching over three centuries. The author explains complicated concepts in a simple and often whimsical way and uses practical as well as research examples to bring technical ideas to a wide audience. The author develops paradigmatic principles and then describes the process of information and a model of communication as a socially emergent process. The early chapters are a foundation for disputing current thinking across a range of topics such as communication and self, stories and storytelling, communication and trust, and conflict. The author concludes by sketching theoretical, methodological, practical, and ethical challenges. The volume is as dynamic and intricate as the complexity of human communication.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. This book demonstrates how the histories of empires, nations, and large business enterprises are embedded in international communication and media history.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Few topics are as important--or as intriguing--as creativity.

Paperback. Zustand: New. The good news is that information is back in vogue, especially the education of students of colour attending schools in metropolitan areas. The bad news is that there remains little consensus about how best to improve the education of these students marginalised by the current theory and practice of schooling. It is evident that the current practice of schooling is failing to provide those traditionally marginalised with opportunities to succeed when compared with their more privileged peers. This suggests that we need to rethink out theorising about the practice of education. Unless we do this intellectual work, the very foundations of democracy will be compromised. The importance of this book, which takes as international perspective, is that it contributes to framing this urgently needed intellectual work by interrogating a range of schooling experiences designed to assist marginalised students experience success rather than failure in school.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. From the birth of philosophy to the dawn of modern social science, the issue of method has been central to the task of acquiring knowledge about ourselves-our being in the world. At a time when empirical science dominates because of its utility, it is important to be reminded that philosophy and philosophical reflection also provide insight and "useful" knowledge about the contemporary social realm in which we live.In this book are contributions from some of the most prominent thinkers and experts in philosophy-driven methods, such as phenomenology, hermeneutics, and semiotics. This international body of scholars discuss the issue of method itself, as well as bring those methods to bear on some of the most prominent issues of our time in the areas of media, culture and criticism.…

Paperback. Zustand: New. In recent years democratic theory has taken a deliberative turn and one central question that needs to be answered is how to connect face-to-face conversations and deliberations in particular forums to broader discussions in the larger society. Working within the cutting edges of deliberative theories, this book surveys the role of the mass media in the deliberative system and investigates, through a set of empirical cases, a range of key problems in the media arena: the interplay between arguing and strategic manoeuvring; public demands for accountability; emotional appeal for deliberation; tensions between agonistic and diplomatic deliberation; and the public construction of general claims. Adopting an integrative perspective, this book also looks at how affected people use published opinions to make sense of politics and produce bottom-up reasons, in addition to media-driven or top-down discourses in the public sphere. The general aim of the book is to show that the mass media have an important place in deliberative democracy and to enrich political and media theories with new findings.…

Hardback. Zustand: New. Smart Start, North Carolina's early childhood initiative, was enacted in 1992 by the North Carolina General Assembly to great fanfare and accolades as well as political turmoil. The chapters in this book trace the history of Smart Start and report on qualitative studies conducted between 1993 and 2001. Collectively, the chapters tell the story of innovative early efforts to redesign the early childhood system by ""reinventing government"" through public-private partnerships, and how, over time, Smart Start was ""tamed"" into submission to become little more than just another bureaucratic government program, to ""business as usual."".…

Hardback. Zustand: New. Yugoslavia may be done, but it lives on in the memory of its last generation, along with the potent mix of nationalisms, globalisation, and historical tensions that helped dissolve it. If the dissolution of Yugoslavia has taught us anything, it is that nationalism and globalisation are not mutually exclusive. Drawing on the recollections of key figures among the last Serbian generation to grow up Yugoslav, this book explores the transition from socialism to capitalism, from the dream of pan-Slavic working class identity to the contentious capitalist reality that gave us the word "Balkanisation". This book paints the portrait of the ruling generation and its ambivalent attitudes toward both the socialist past and the capitalist, Western-oriented present. In so doing, it also explores the emerging phenomenon of Yugo-nostalgia-the way in which the socialist past is re-created for a consumption-oriented present as one more marketing gimmick. Although focused on the case of Serbia and the troubled Milosevic era, it speaks to the broader theme of the fate of nationalism and national identity in an era of capitalist globalisation. It also troubles the notion of modernisation as a unified and unifying process by unfolding the complex mix of tradition and novelty, cosmopolitan aspiration, and historical identification that characterise not only the former Yugoslavia, but the process whereby nations are incorporated into the global market economy. Through the exploration of a particular case, the book explores the landscape of hopes and misgivings that characterise the post-Cold-War era.…
