A host of political factors—both internal and external—influence the Court’s decisions and shape the development of constitutional law. Among the more significant forces at work are the ways lawyers and interest groups frame legal disputes, the ideological and behavioral propensities of the justices, the politics of judicial selection, public opinion, and the positions that elected officials take, to name just a few. Combining lessons of the legal model with the influences of the political process, Constitutional Law for a Changing America shows how these dynamics shape the development of constitutional doctrine.

The Tenth Edition offers rigorous, comprehensive content in a student-friendly manner. With meticulous revising and updating throughout, best-selling authors Lee Epstein and Thomas G. Walker streamline material while accounting for new scholarship and recent landmark cases—including key opinions handed down through the 2018 judicial session.

An enterprise architecture tries to describe and control an organisation’s structure, processes, applications, systems and techniques in an integrated way. The unambiguous specification and description of components and their relationships in such an architecture requires a coherent architecture modelling language.

Lankhorst and his co-authors present such an enterprise modelling language that captures the complexity of architectural domains and their relations and allows the construction of integrated enterprise architecture models. They provide architects with concrete instruments that improve their architectural practice. As this is not enough, they additionally present techniques and heuristics for communicating with all relevant stakeholders about these architectures. Since an architecture model is useful not only for providing insight into the current or future situation but can also be used to evaluate the transition from ‘as-is’ to ‘to-be’, the authors also describe analysis methods for assessing both the qualitative impact of changes to an architecture and the quantitative aspects of architectures, such as performance and cost issues.

The modelling language presented has been proven in practice in many real-life case studies and has been adopted by The Open Group as an international standard. So this book is an ideal companion for enterprise IT or business architects in industry as well as for computer or management science students studying the field of enterprise architecture.

Events such as the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the Japanese earthquakes and tsunamis in 2011 have provided unfortunate reminders of the susceptibility of many communities to devastating losses from natural hazards. These events provided graphic illustrations of how extreme hazard events adversely impact on people, affect communities and disrupt the community and societal mechanisms that serve to organize and sustain community capacities and functions. However, there is much that communities can do to mitigate their risk and manage disaster consequences. The construct that epitomizes how this is done is resilience. The contents of this volume provide valuable insights into how societal resilience can be developed and sustained. This considerably expanded new edition presents major topics of: Coexisting with Natural Hazards; Urban Resilience in Asia; Lifelines and Urban Resilience; Business Continuity in Disaster; Hazard Mitigation in Communities; Hazard Readiness and Resilience; Child Citizenship in Disaster Risk; Old Age and Resilience; Gender and Disaster Resilience; Impact of High Functionality on Resilience; Art and Resilience; Cross-Cultural Perspectives and Coping with Hazards; Religious Practices and Resilience; Living in Harmony with our Environment; Critical Incidence Response; Governance; Heat Wave Resilience; Wildfire Disaster Resilience; and Progress and Challenges to Disaster Risk Reduction and Resilience. This exceptional book brings together contributions from international experts in core areas and includes chapters that provide and overarching framework within which the need for interrelationships between levels to be developed is discussed. The book will be an outstanding resource for those researching or teaching courses in emergency management, disaster management, community development, environmental planning and urban development. In addition, it will serve law enforcement and emergency agencies, welfare agencies, and professionals in applied psychology. 
内容介绍

这本书共有66万字,先后再版8次,内容还在不断扩展。《半资本论》从分析中国的问题入手,探讨自中国共产党建党以来的土地政策,今天的房地产经济,全能政府,极权主义经济等现象,不光涉及中国当下的经济、政治、文化、社会方方面面,也把中国的问题放在全球化和中美关系的大背景下透彻分析。试图找出中国今天政治经济问题的根源。有学者评论说,“《半资本论》的视野和研讨架构,可以为中国变革实践中行动的力量,提供理解现实和发展的思路。”

本书背景

2008年9月,以雷曼兄弟的倒闭为标志,开始了1928年美国经济大萧条以来最大的金融危机和经济大衰退。4个月后,在瑞士达沃斯召开的世界经济论坛上,当时的中国总理温家宝批评说,“金融机构盲目追求利润,过渡扩张,表现出持续低储蓄高消费的发展模式是难以为继的。”而政府未能尽到监督金融部门的责任。他愤怒地说,西方应当为搅动全世界经济崩盘而受到谴责。

7年过去了,温家宝的这些话言犹在耳,然而,历史开了一个不小的玩笑。这次,对金融机构未能尽到监督责任的责任人换成了中国政府。引发经济衰退的国家可能是中国。中国的经济衰退,将搅动世界经济巨大的风暴。

从经济起飞到空中解体

中国经济奇迹是在外资驱动下起飞,越飞越高。进入2016,在实体经济进入末日的背景下,体制仍然毫不犹豫选择继续疯狂印钞,继2015疯狂拉升股市后继续疯狂拉升楼市,想飞的更久更高,然而外储在大印钞中加速流失,中国经济的驱动力在迅速减弱至消失。由于中国经济的关键结构和驱动都来自外资,随着外储清空中国经济将突然全面瓦解。确实,“硬着陆的预言一定会落空,中国经济绝对不会硬着陆”,而是随着外储枯竭直接空中解体。这是目前对中国现状最严重的预言。

超级经济萧条

面对学者预测的“超级经济萧条”,中国的决策者似乎没有任何“忧患意识”。他们“对中国经济持续健康发展抱着坚定信心。”认为“中国有信心、有能力保持经济中高速增长,继续为各国发展创造机遇。”他们提出的口号是:“只要有信心,黄土变黄金!”信心的来源,是面对严峻的政治经济形势,把脑袋埋在沙里,视而不见;自信的来源,是面对中国社会面临的贫富两极分化和下岗失业潮将带来的社会震荡,避而不谈。

中国即将衰落,似乎已经成为一种国际共识。美国总统奥巴马说,“衰落的中国比崛起的中国更可怕”。连“亲华派”学者也多中国的未来忧心忡忡。“我预见的是相对的经济滞胀,社会问题积聚,政治系统加剧衰败(decay),以及执政党衰落(decline)。衰落不等于崩溃。”沈大伟将中国的衰落归之于政治上的落伍和政治改革的停滞。“如果中国不在政治上前进,中国在经济和社会问题上就会遇到越来越多的局限。”他说,“没有政治自由化,中国无法达到真正的经济增长潜力。目前的滞胀将会成为新常态。”


从极权主义到江山主义

中美这两个意识形态和社会制度不同的经济体,无论谁发生经济危机,势必造成多米诺骨牌效应,掀起一场全球性的史上未曾有过的“超级经济危机”。以当下中国经济的总量在世界经济中的比例,这场经济危机,很可能像2008年美国次贷危机那样,诱发一场全球经济危机。正在到来的这场超级经济危机,会不会造成比美国1929年至1934年的“大萧条”更大的“超级萧条”? 与美国经济决策者把保护消费者利益放在处理危机的重中之重不同,中国的经济决策者处理危机的思路,则是把政府财政收入摆在最重要的位置。两种处理经济危机的方式,将带来完全不同的结果。

面对严峻的滞胀的经济形势,需要担心的是:全能主义导致的经济危机,会不会引发以经济发展作为权力合法性失落后的政治和社会危机?经济、政治和社会危机一旦同时爆发导致社会动荡,执政者会不会选择用江山主义的意识形态,强化国内统治,并且用民族主义和军国主义的外交政策,引发一场转移国内矛盾的对外战争?

有没有“大洪水”?

分析中国现状,预见中国未来,刘仲敬提出“大洪水”的概念。2016年的美国大选后,中国在国际上搭顺风车的好日子将一去不返。北京政权会制定相应的政策应对,政策落实开始出现结果的时间窗口在2017年,大洪水将从这里决口。2017年是大洪水元年。大洪水期间,中国会变成遍地哀鸿。

大洪水的源头,是全世界主要经济体,包括新兴经济体中国的“大印币”,这种全球的“印币竞赛”造成了一个悬在全世界人民头上的“纸币堰塞湖”。纸币堰塞湖水位不断上升,而支撑它的世界经济的堤坝却千疮百孔。它必然会从最薄弱的环节冲垮堤坝。

中国通过到贫穷国家“大撒币”疏导货币泛滥。如果印币的速度大于撒币的速度,“大撒币”不能奏效。大洪水是货币泛滥的洪水,而支撑货币泛滥的是国家信用;大洪水过后,是一些国家信用破产。如果“大洪水”来了,中国有足够的能力应对吗?“大洪水”到来,哪里是避免遭受灭顶之灾的“诺亚方舟”?

预见未来的河图洛书,不在占卜大师的筮草里,也不在马恩列斯的著作中。揭示未来道路的路线图,在历史车轮驶过的车辙里,我们需要到历史的教训里寻找避免前进道路上的陷阱;预测未来中国命运的指南北斗,其实就在现实世界扑朔迷离的现象中,我们需要到现实世界文明的坐标,寻找中国未来发展的方向……

Introducing students and scholars to the emerging field of critical educational psychology.

The field of critical studies recognizes that all knowledge is deeply embedded in ideological, cultural, political, and historical contexts. Although this approach is commonly applied in other subfields of psychology, educational psychology—which is the study of human learning, thinking, and behavior in formal and informal educational contexts—has resisted a comprehensive critical appraisal. In Critical Educational Psychology, Stephen Vassallo seeks to correct this deficit by demonstrating how the psychology of learning is neither neutral nor value-free but rather bound by a host of contextual issues and assumptions.

Vassallo invites teachers and teacher educators, educational researchers, and educational psychologists to think broadly about the implications that their use of psychology has on the teaching and learning process. He applies a wide variety of interdisciplinary approaches to examine the psychology of learning, cognitive development, motivation, creativity, discipline, and attention. Drawing on multiple perspectives within psychology and critical theory, he reveals that contemporary educational psychology is entangled in and underpinned by specific political, ideological, historical, and cultural contexts.

A valuable resource for anyone who relies on psychology to interact with, assess, and deliberate over others, especially school-aged children, Critical Educational Psychology resists neatly packaged theories, models, and perspectives that are intended to bring some basis and certainty to pedagogical decision-making. This book will enhance teachers’ ethical decision-making and start important new conversations about power and opportunity.

Updated to align with the American Psychological Association and the National Council of Accreditation of Teacher Education accreditation requirements.

Focused on increasing the credibility of research and evaluation, the Fifth Edition of Research and Evaluation in Education and Psychology: Integrating Diversity with Quantitative, Qualitative, and Mixed Methods incorporates the viewpoints of various research paradigms into its descriptions of these methods. Students will learn to identify, evaluate, and practice good research, with special emphasis on conducting research in culturally complex communities, based on the perspectives of women, LGBTQ communities, ethnic/racial minorities, and people with disabilities. In each chapter, Dr. Donna M. Mertens carefully explains a step of the research process—from the literature review to analysis and reporting—and includes a sample study and abstract to illustrate the concepts discussed.

The new edition includes over 30 new research studies and contemporary examples to demonstrate research methods including:
  • Black girls and school discipline: The complexities of being overrepresented and understudied (Annamma, S.A., Anyon, Y., Joseph, N.M., Farrar, J., Greer, E., Downing, B., & Simmons, J.)
  • Learning Cooperatively under Challenging Circumstances: Cooperation among Students in High-Risk Contexts in El Salvador (Christine Schmalenbach)
  • Replicated Evidence of Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Disability Identification in U.S. Schools (Morgan, et. al.)
  • Relation of white-matter microstructure to reading ability and disability in beginning readers (Christodoulu, et. al.)
  • Arts and mixed methods research: an innovative methodological merger (Archibald, M.M. & Gerber, N.)
Many have wondered if there is a key ingredient to living a full and happy life. For decades now, scientists and psychologists alike have been studying the strengths and virtues that enable individuals and communities to thrive. The positive psychology movement was founded on the belief that people want to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives, to cultivate what is best within themselves, and to enhance their experiences of love, work, and play. At the same time, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)—a mindfulness-based, values-oriented behavioral therapy that has many parallels to Buddhism, yet is not religious in any way—has been focused on helping people achieve their greatest human potential.

Created only years apart, ACT and positive psychology both promote human flourishing, and they often share overlapping themes and applications, particularly when it comes to setting goals, psychological strengths, mindfulness, and the clarification of what matters most—our values and our search for meaning in life. Despite these similarities, however, the two different therapeutic models are rarely discussed in relation to one another. What if unifying these theories could lead to faster, more profound and enduring improvements to the human condition?

Edited by leading researchers in the field of positive psychology, Mindfulness, Acceptance, and Positive Psychology is the first professional book to successfully integrate key elements of ACT and positive psychology to promote healthy functioning in clients. By gaining an understanding of "the seven foundations of well-being," professionals will walk away with concrete, modernized strategies to use when working with clients. Throughout the book, the editors focus on how ACT, mindfulness therapies, and positive psychology can best be utilized by professionals in various settings, from prisons and Fortune 500 business organizations to parents and schools.

With contributions by Steven C. Hayes, the founder of ACT, as well as other well-known authorities on ACT and positive psychology such as Robyn Walser, Kristin Neff, Dennis Tirch, Ian Stewart, Louise McHugh, Lance M. McCracken, Acacia Parks, Robert Biswas-Diener, and more, this book provides state-of-the-art research, theory, and applications of relevance to mental health professionals, scientists, advanced students, and people in the general public interested in either ACT or positive psychology.

For most of the history of film-making, music has played an integral role serving many functions - such as conveying emotion, heightening tension, and influencing interpretation and inferences about events and characters. More recently, with the enormous growth of the gaming industry and the Internet, a new role for music has emerged. However, all of these applications of music depend on complex mental processes which are being identified through research on human participants in multimedia contexts. The Psychology of Music in Multimedia is the first book dedicated to this fascinating topic. The Psychology of Music in Multimedia presents a wide range of scientific research on the psychological processes involved in the integration of sound and image when engaging with film, television, video, interactive games, and computer interfaces. Collectively, the rich chapters in this edited volume represent a comprehensive treatment of the existing research on the multimedia experience, with the aim of disseminating the current knowledge base and inspiring future scholarship. The focus on empirical research and the strong psychological framework make this book an exceptional and distinctive contribution to the field. The international collection of contributors represents eight countries and a broad range of disciplines including psychology, musicology, neuroscience, media studies, film, and communications. Each chapter includes a comprehensive review of the topic and, where appropriate, identifies models that can be empirically tested. Part One presents contrasting theoretical approaches from cognitive psychology, philosophy, semiotics, communication, musicology, and neuroscience. Part Two reviews research on the structural aspects of music and multimedia, while Part Three focuses on research examining the influence of music on perceived meaning in the multimedia experience. Part Four explores empirical findings in a variety of real-world applications of music in multimedia including entertainment and educational media for children, video and computer games, television and online advertising, and auditory displays of information. Finally, the closing chapter in Part Five identifies emerging themes and points to the value of broadening the scope of research to encompass multisensory, multidisciplinary, and cross-cultural perspectives to advance our understanding of the role of music in multimedia. This is a valuable book for those in the fields of music psychology and musicology, as well as film and media studies.

A fresh approach to managing organizational change by looking at it as complex, dynamic and messy as opposed to a series of neat, linear stages and processes leading to success.

Key to the approach is the idea that change, creativity and innovation all overlap and interconnect rather than being three separate areas of study and that managing the three together is central to organizations having the competitive edge in developing new technologies and techniques, products and services.

The book continues to offer practical guidelines as well as a theoretical understanding of change, creativity and innovation. It delivers an equal balance of critical perspectives and sound ideas for organizational change and development and presents the idea that change can be proactive, driven by creativity and innovation.

The new edition includes additional change management content including learning, personal change, managing the self, employability, developments in conventional Organizational Development and new emergent forms including appreciative inquiry. Along with a series of rich international case studies, including TNT Australia, Amazon, Leeds Rhinos, Jerusalem Paints, Alpha Pro Pump and KPMG.

It is supported by a range of learning and revision aids including reflective exercises, review and discussion questions and hands-on research tasks. All of which help students to reflect on the material covered and provide a source for more open group discussion and debate.

A companion website accompanies the book, with additional material including PowerPoint slides for lecturers and video links and access to SAGE journal articles for Students.

Suitable for upper-level undergraduates and postgraduate students.

대한민국의 플레이어/픽업아티스트들을 위한 연애/픽업교과서,

"EH Method"를 소개합니다.

 

 

 

■ 각종 픽업 이론 집약

 

전세계적으로 주류를 이루고 있는 해외 픽업아티스트들이 저술한 각종 해외 픽업 이론과

국내 연애 이론의 정수를 모았습니다.

 

단순히 픽업 이론들을 정리한 것이 아니라,

실제로 필드 테스팅을 하면서 국내 정서에 맞게 새롭게 체계화하였습니다.

 

즉, 짜맞추기식 이론이 아닌, 결과를 중심으로 과정을 체계화한 이론서입니다.

 

 

 

■ 원리 위주의 설명

 

"프로는 문제를 단순하고 명쾌하게 처리한다. 아마추어가 그것을 복잡하게 만들 뿐이다."

군더더기는 완전히 제거하고,
스스로 멘트&루틴을 창작할 수 있도록,

어떠한 사회적 상호작용에서도 응용할 수 있도록,
근본적인 원리와 시스템을 중심으로 제작하였습니다.

 

더이상 뜬구름 잡는 식의 부실한 이론에 현혹되지 마십시오.

 

 

 

■ 장기적인 솔루션 제시

 

EH Method는 시간이 지날수록 진가를 발휘합니다.

 

여러분의 이론의 깊이가 더해질수록,

필드의 경험이 쌓일수록,

그 진가가 빛을 발할 것입니다.

 

EH Method는 단 하나의 목적,

"장기적인 연애/라이프스타일의 동반자"

라는 의도로 쓰여진 책입니다.

쉬운 한글과 자세한 풀이로 초보자도 쉽게 이해할 수 있게 제작하였습니다.

 

 

 

■ 국내 픽업 이론의 표준(Standard) 제시

 

EH Method는 다른 픽업아티스트 커뮤니티들에 의해 모방되고 있습니다.

그것은 EH Method의 컨텐츠가 국내의 어떤 픽업아티스트 서적보다도 뛰어난 퀄리티를 가졌음을 반증하는 사례일 것입니다.


 

 

■ 100% 필드테스팅이 완료된 이론만을 정리

 

EH Method 는 이론만을 위한 픽업 이론은 다루지 않습니다.

" 이렇게 하면 될 것이다 " 에 대한 내용이 아닌, " 이렇게 하니까 되더라 " 에 관한 내용입니다.

 

사실, 해외 픽업 이론들을 번역하고 정리하는 것은 영어 실력과 편집 능력만 있으면 가능한 일입니다.

 

하지만,

수없이 필드 경험을 하면서 성공적인 결과를 이끌어내는 프로 픽업아티스트가 직접 실전에 꼭 필요한 내용들만을 정리한다면,

그 책에 대한 여러분의 신뢰도는 한층 더해질 것입니다.

 

저는 픽업을 배우면서 다음 단계들을 거쳤습니다.

저는 실제로 대한민국에서 가장 아름다운 여성들을 대상으로,

ONS나 LTR과 같은 관계의 유형에 구애받지 않고 90% 이상의 성공률을,

다수의 사람들을 대상으로 오랜 시간에 걸쳐 필드에서 증명해 왔습니다.

 

화가가 그림을 그려나가듯,

픽업'아티스트'라는 말처럼 자유자재로 관계를 형성해나갈 수 있게 되었습니다.

 

제가 한번씩 실패를 한다면,

그것은 새로운 이론이나 기술을 몰라서가 아니라 EH Method의 내용을 지키지 않았기 때문입니다.

 

여러분도 가능합니다.

언제까지 "나는 외모가 안돼", "나는 스펙이 안돼" 와 같은 핑계나 늘어놓으실 것입니까?

 

한번뿐인 인생인데 최선을 다해보지 않는다면,

그것은 자기 스스로에게 죄를 짓는 것입니다.

 

허황된 말이나 뜬구름 잡는 이야기는 하지 않겠습니다.

 

돈이 많은 사람은 하루 아침에 만들어질 수 있지만,

성공한 사람은 하루 아침에 만들어지지 않습니다.

 

왜냐하면 성공이란,

오랜 시간에 걸쳐 모든 시련에 대처할 수 있는 역량 그 자체를 의미하기 때문입니다.

 

마찬가지로,

겉모습이 그럴듯해 보이는 사람은 하루 아침에 만들어질 수 있지만,

진정한 매력을 가진 사람은 하루 아침에 만들어지지 않습니다.

 

왜냐하면 진정한 매력이란,

오랜 시간에 걸쳐 모든 사회적 상황에 대처할 수 있는 현명함과 사회적 지능 그 자체를 의미하기 때문입니다.

 

EH METHOD가 여기에 대한 모든 답을 제시해준다고 말씀드리기는 어려우나,

적어도 여러분의 수많은 시행착오를 줄여주는데는 충분한 가치를 한다고 자부할 수 있습니다.

 

EH Method 는 여러분의 노력 여하에 따라 단순히 여자를 픽업하는 것을 넘어

매력적인 남자로 거듭나서 여자들이 여러분을 쫓아오게 만들어드릴 것입니다.

 

이미 많은 분들이 EH Method 를 통해 성공적인 경험을 하셨고,

다른 커뮤니티에서 실망하셨던 분들 또한 EH Method 를 통해 성공적인 결과를 이끌어내고 계십니다.

The world is undergoing unprecedented changes in many of the factors that determine its fundamental properties and their in- ence on society. These changes include climate; the chemical c- position of the atmosphere; the demands of a growing human population for food and ?ber; and the mobility of organisms, ind- trial products, cultural perspectives, and information ?ows. The magnitude and widespread nature of these changes pose serious challenges in managing the ecosystem services on which society depends. Moreover, many of these changes are strongly in?uenced by human activities, so future patterns of change will continue to be in?uenced by society’s choices and governance. The purpose of this book is to provide a new framework for n- ural resource management—a framework based on stewardship of ecosystems for human well-being in a world dominated by unc- tainty and change. The goal of ecosystem stewardship is to respond to and shape change in social-ecological systems in order to s- tain the supply and opportunities for use of ecosystem services by society. The book links recent advances in the theory of resilience, sustainability, and vulnerability with practical issues of ecosystem management and governance. The book is aimed at advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students of natural resource management as well as professional managers, community leaders, and policy makers with backgrounds in a wide array of d- ciplines, including ecology, policy studies, economics, sociology, and anthropology.
With the discovery of conditioned reflexes by I. P. Pavlov, the possibilities for experimenting, following the example set by the classical, exact sciences, were made available to the behavioral sciences. Many psychologists hoped that the component parts of behavior had also been found from which the entire, multifaceted cosmos of behavior could then be constructed. An experimentally oriented psychology subsequently developed including the influential school of behaviorism.

This first text on human ethology presents itself as a unified work, even though not every area could be treated with equal depth. For example, a branch of ethology has developed in the past decade which places particular emphasis on ecology and population genetics. This field, known as sociobiology, has enriched discussion beyond the boundaries of behavioral biology through its stimulating, and often provocative, theses.

After vigorous debates between behaviorists, anthropologists, and sociologists, we have entered a period of exchange of thoughts and a mutual approach, which in many instances has led to cooperative projects of researchers from different disciplines. This work offers a biological point of view for discussion and includes data from the author's cross-cultural work and research from the staff of his institute. It confirms, above all else, the astonishing unity of mankind and paints a basically positive picture of how we are moved by the same passions, jealousies, friendliness, and active curiosity.

The need to understand ourselves has never been as great as it is today. An ideologically torn humanity struggles for its survival. Our species, does not know how it should compensate its workers, and it experiments with various economic systems, constitutions, and forms of government. It struggles for freedom and stumbles into newer conflicts. Population growth is apparently completely out of hand, and at the same time many resources are being depleted. We must consider our existence rationally in order to understand it, but certainly not with cold, calculating reason but with the warm feeling of a heart concerned for the welfare of later generations.

We now live in a digital society. New digital technologies have had a profound influence on everyday life, social relations, government, commerce, the economy and the production and dissemination of knowledge. People’s movements in space, their purchasing habits and their online communication with others are now monitored in detail by digital technologies. We are increasingly becoming digital data subjects, whether we like it or not, and whether we choose this or not.

The sub-discipline of digital sociology provides a means by which the impact, development and use of these technologies and their incorporation into social worlds, social institutions and concepts of selfhood and embodiment may be investigated, analysed and understood. This book introduces a range of interesting social, cultural and political dimensions of digital society and discusses some of the important debates occurring in research and scholarship on these aspects. It covers the new knowledge economy and big data, reconceptualising research in the digital era, the digitisation of higher education, the diversity of digital use, digital politics and citizen digital engagement, the politics of surveillance, privacy issues, the contribution of digital devices to embodiment and concepts of selfhood and many other topics.

Digital Sociology is essential reading not only for students and academics in sociology, anthropology, media and communication, digital cultures, digital humanities, internet studies, science and technology studies, cultural geography and social computing, but for other readers interested in the social impact of digital technologies.

Spirituality and Religion Within the Culture of Medicine provides a comprehensive evaluation of the relationship between spirituality, religion, and medicine evaluating current empirical research and academic scholarship. In Part 1, the book examines the relationship of religion, spirituality, and the practice of medicine by assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the most recent empirical research of religion/spirituality within twelve distinct fields of medicine including pediatrics, psychiatry, internal medicine, surgery, palliative care, and medical ethics. Written by leading clinician researchers in their fields, contributors provide case examples and highlight best practices when engaging religion/spirituality within clinical practice. This is the first collection that assesses how the medical context interacts with patient spirituality recognizing crucial differences between contexts from obstetrics and family medicine, to nursing, to gerontology and the ICU. Recognizing the interdisciplinary aspects of spirituality, religion, and health, Part 2 of the book turns to academic scholarship outside the field of medicine to consider cultural dimensions that form clinical practice. Social-scientific, practical, and humanity fields include psychology, sociology, anthropology, law, history, philosophy, and theology. This is the first time in a single volume that readers can reflect on these multi-dimensional, complex issues with contributions from leading scholars. In Part III, the book concludes with a synthesis, identifying the best studies in the field of religion and health, ongoing weaknesses in research, and highlighting what can be confidently believed based on prior studies. The synthesis also considers relations between the empirical literature on religion and health and the theological and religious traditions, discussing places of convergence and tension, as well as remainingopen questions for further reflection and research. This book will provide trainees and clinicians with an introduction to the field of spirituality, religion, and medicine, and its multi-disciplinary approach will give researchers and scholars in the field a critical and up-to-date analysis.
Medical Ethnomusicology is a new field of integrative and holistic research and applied practice that approaches music, health, and healing anew, engaging the biological, psychological, emotional, social, and spiritual domains of human life that frame and inform our experiences of health and healing, illness and disease, life and death. The power of music to create health and healing at the individual, community, and societal levels is not only linked to these domains of human life, but is intimately interwoven with the ever present and multifaceted frame of culture, which is often where meaning lies, and is a key factor that creates or inhibits efficacy. The Oxford Handbook of Medical Ethnomusicology appeals to all those interested in music, medicine, and culture, and represents a new stage of collaborative discourse among researchers and practitioners who embrace and incorporate knowledge from a diversity of fields. Importantly, such knowledge, by definition, spans the globe of traditional cultural practices of music, spirituality, and medicine, including biomedical, integrative, complementary, and alternative models; is rooted in new physics, philosophy, psychology, sociology, cognitive science, linguistics, medical anthropology, and of course, music, dance, and all the healing arts. The book is more than the first collected volume to establish the discipline of medical ethnomusicology and express its broad potential; it is also an expression of a wider paradigm shift of innovative thinking and collaboration that fully embraces both the health sciences and the healing arts. The authors encourage the development of this new paradigm through an openness to and engagement of knowledge from diverse research areas and domains of human life conventionally viewed as disparate, yet laden with potential benefits for an improved or vibrant quality of life, prevention of illness and disease, even cure and healing.
Food matters, not only as a subject of study in its own right, but also as a medium for conveying critical messages about capitalism, the environment, and social inequality to diverse audiences. Recent scholarship on the subject draws from both a pathbreaking body of secondary literature and an inexhaustible wealth of primary sources--from ancient Chinese philosophical tracts to McDonald's menus--contributing new perspectives to the historical study of food, culture, and society, and challenging the limits of history itself. The Oxford Handbook of Food History places existing works in historiographical context, crossing disciplinary, chronological, and geographic boundaries while also suggesting new routes for future research. The twenty-seven essays in this book are organized into five sections: historiography, disciplinary approaches, production, circulation, and consumption of food. The first two sections examine the foundations of food history, not only in relation to key developments in the discipline of history itself--such as the French Annales school and the cultural turn--but also in anthropology, sociology, geography, pedagogy, and the emerging Critical Nutrition Studies. The following three sections sketch various trajectories of food as it travels from farm to table, factory to eatery, nature to society. Each section balances material, cultural, and intellectual concerns, whether juxtaposing questions of agriculture and the environment with the notion of cookbooks as historical documents; early human migrations with modern culinary tourism; or religious customs with social activism. In its vast, interdisciplinary scope, this handbook brings students and scholars an authoritative guide to a field with fresh insights into one of the most fundamental human concerns.
SAP ERP modules are notoriously hard to configure and use effectively without a lot of practice and experience. But as SAP ERP Financial Accounting and Controlling: Configuration and Use Management shows, it doesn't have to be so difficult. The book takes a systematic approach that leads SAP Financial Accounting and Controlling (FICO) users step by step through configuring and using all the program’s facets. This approach makes configuration complexities manageable. The book’s author—SAP expert, trainer, and accountant Andrew Okungbowa—ensures that both you and your end users are up and running quickly and confidently with FICO. He also provides sound and tested procedures that ensure your implementation works without error.

SAP ERP Financial Accounting and Controlling: Configuration and Use Management is in fact the most comprehensive and easy-to-follow SAP FICO configuration book in the market. It incorporates a hands-on approach, with hundreds of screen shots and practical examples, that allows a person without prior configuration training to make SAP FICO ready for use in the enterprise. You’ll find that you don’t need to be a rocket scientist to grasp the concepts explained and apply them to your work—even when the finances are complicated, such as with the ins and outs of taxes, currency conversions, or special general ledger entries such as down payments or bills of exchange.

Providing an in-depth coverage of both configuration and end user procedures, the book covers most aspects of the SAP FICO certification syllabus—SAP’s view of the module’s key tasks and procedures—including:

  • Configuring and using the general ledger and accounts payable and receivable screens
  • Configuring and completing closing procedures, asset accounting, and financial reporting
  • Configuring global settings and enterprise variables
  • Accounting for both profit and cost centers
  • Creating a house bank
  • Integrating FICO with other SAP modules

Taking a jargon-free tone and providing an abundance of examples, Andrew Okungbowa provides a clear understanding of configuration techniques and the breadth of functionalities encompassed by SAP FICO. And as an accountant, Okungbowa understands the needs of end users as well as of those answering to the CIO.
