Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Judith Butler elucidates the dynamics of public assembly under prevailing economic and political conditions. Understanding assemblies as plural forms of performative action, she extends her theory of performativity to show why precarity¿destruction of the conditions of livability¿is a galvanizing force and theme in today's highly visible protests.

Buch
Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Despite American education¿s recent mania for standardized tests, testing misses what really matters about learning: the desire to learn in the first place. Curiosity is vital, but it remains a surprisingly understudied characteristic. The Hungry Mind is a deeply researched, highly readable exploration of what curiosity is, how it can be measured, how it develops in childhood, and how it can be fostered in school.¿Engel draws on the latest social science research and incidents from her own life to understand why curiosity is nearly universal in babies, pervasive in early childhood, and less evident in school¿Engel¿s most important finding is that most classroom environments discourage curiosity¿In an era that prizes quantifiable results, a pedagogy that privileges curiosity is not likely to be a priority.¿¿Glenn C. Altschuler, Psychology Today¿Susan Engel¿s The Hungry Mind, a book which engages in depth with how our interest and desire to explore the world evolves, makes a valuable contribution not only to the body of academic literature on the developmental and educational psychology of children, but also to our knowledge on why and how we learn.¿¿Inez von Weitershausen, LSE Review of Books.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Winner of the Merle Curti Award in Intellectual History, Organization of American HistoriansCo-Winner of the Society for U.S. Intellectual History Book AwardThinking Small tells the story of how the United States sought to rescue the world from poverty through small-scale, community-based approaches. And it also sounds a warning: such strategies, now again in vogue, have been tried before, with often disastrous consequences.¿Unfortunately, far from eliminating deprivation and attacking the social status quo, bottom-up community development projects often reinforced them¿This is a history with real stakes. If that prior campaign¿s record is as checkered as Thinking Small argues, then its intellectual descendants must do some serious rethinking¿ How might those in twenty-first-century development and anti-poverty work forge a better path They can start by reading Thinking Small.¿¿Merlin Chowkwanyun, Boston Review¿As the historian Daniel Immerwahr demonstrates brilliantly in Thinking Small, the history of development has seen constant experimentation with community-based and participatory approaches to economic and social improvement¿Immerwahr¿s account of these failures should give pause to those who insist that going small is always better than going big.¿¿Jamie Martin, The Nation.

Buch
Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Modern political culture features a deep-seated faith in the power of numbers. But quantitative evidence has not always been revered, as William Deringer shows. After the 1688 Revolution, as Britons learned to fight by the numbers, their enthusiasm for figures arose not from efforts to find objective truths but from the turmoil of politics itself.
