Growing Up in a Changing Society

Growing Up in a Changing Society

The final reader in the Child Development in Social Context series shows how the study of child development is inevitably bound up in more ephemeral cultural ideas about the nature and needs of children and in the educational practices that rise from these ideas. Some readings point to the dangers which can arise from the meeting of science and cultural values using for illustration studies of the role of psychological theory in reinforcing social attitudes to child care inside and outside the family. Other readings look at children's initiation into that relatively recent cultural invention the school and the relationship with their learning at home. There are studies of their social development in classroom and playground with particular emphasis on ethnic relationships. | Growing Up in a Changing Society

The Writing Machine A History of the Typewriter

The Writing Machine A History of the Typewriter

First Published in 1973 The Writing Machine presents a comprehensive history of the typewriter. Michael Adler not only investigated the history of the machine but also started collecting typewriters because of the difficulty of discovering what these old machines looked like. Then he found there were other collectors all over the world who supplied him with such a wealth of data that he had eventually to limit the scope of his ‘history’. There are hundreds and hundreds of makes and models of ‘conventional’ front-stroke type bar machines with four-row keyboards but they were virtually all the same. It is the unconventional ones that are interesting and it is on these that the author concentrates. The book is amusing as well as informative and it ends with a complete catalogue of ‘unconventional’ typewriters manufactured up to the 1930s when the ‘conventional’ machine had become universal. This book is a must read for anyone interested to learn about the writing machine. | The Writing Machine A History of the Typewriter

The Language of Pick-Up Artists Online Discourses of the Seduction Industry

The Language of Pick-Up Artists Online Discourses of the Seduction Industry

This book adopts a corpus-based discourse analysis approach to the study of the communicative practices of pick-up artists offering a systematic exploration of distinct language use in an online community that uses speed-seduction practices for short-term dating and sex. Drawing on a multi-million-word corpus comprising data from online forums social media informational websites and YouTube videos the volume explores the verbal practices and narrative framing techniques that pick-up artists (PUAs) draw upon in their interactions with women and the terminology-heavy language used in teaching pick-up to foster perceptions of scientific validity. The book also unpacks videos and reports of live interactions to study naturally occurring PUA discourse from different perspectives but also to more closely examine conceptual metaphors of competition and violence and critically reflect on the ethical considerations of working with such communities. This book will appeal to students and scholars in such disciplines as discourse analysis corpus linguistics computer-mediated communication and language and media as well as those interested in the study of language use online. | The Language of Pick-Up Artists Online Discourses of the Seduction Industry

Which Way is Up? Essays on Class Sex and Culture

Which Way is Up? Essays on Class Sex and Culture

First published in 1983 Which Way is Up presents a selection of Bob Connell’s writings on three key issues of modern social analysis- sex and gender class and power and culture.

In critically reviewing contemporary thought on these issues the author has developed a perspective centred on the analysis of social practice. Easy to read often witty the essays represent an attempt to shift social theory into the real world of the late twentieth century to go beyond the limits of orthodox sociology and radical dogmas to think through theoretical questions without losing touch with practical politics. This is a must read for students and scholars of sociology. | Which Way is Up? Essays on Class Sex and Culture

Incest A Family Pattern

Incest A Family Pattern

In the early 1980s incest was ceasing to be a taboo subject. In Britain there was much conjecture but little knowledge about it although some estimates suggested that as many as one child in ten would experience some form of sexual abuse within the family. Originally published in 1982 Jean Renvoize had travelled around the USA where considerable attention had been paid to incest in the previous few years meeting professionals ranging through paediatricians policemen university researchers social workers lawyers and – more important – victims and abusers themselves. This knowledge added to the sparser British research opened up a hitherto closed subject bringing a wide range of controversial information to an audience composed of the general public as well as professionals involved in this field at the time. The author’s clear and easy style which characterised her earlier books on related subjects – Children in Danger and Web of Violence – makes this a work of general as well as specialist interest. | Incest A Family Pattern

Emotion and the Psychodynamics of the Cerebellum A Neuro-Psychoanalytic Analysis and Synthesis

Emotion and the Psychodynamics of the Cerebellum A Neuro-Psychoanalytic Analysis and Synthesis

This is a book about cognition emotion memory and learning. Along the way it examines exactly how implicit memory (knowing how) and explicit memory (knowing that) are connected with each other via the cerebellum. Since emotion is also related to memory and most likely one of its organising features many fields of human endeavour have attempted to clarify its fundamental nature including its relationship to metaphor problem-solving learning and many other variables. This is an attempt to pull together the various strands relating to emotions so that clinicians and researchers alike can identify precisely and ultimately agree upon what emotion is and how it contributes to the other known activities of mind and brain. | Emotion and the Psychodynamics of the Cerebellum A Neuro-Psychoanalytic Analysis and Synthesis
