Rethinking the 21st Century : 'New' Problems, 'Old' Solutions (9781848130067)

Gambar
Rethinking the 21st Century brings much needed context and perspective to the security problems we face today. In recent years, the 'Bush Doctrine' - that the security threats we now face are entirely unprecedented - has echoed around the world. Global security and stability is now challenged not only by states and nuclear war, but by insurgency, disease, environmental degradation and military privatisation. Yet this creates a deep sense of disconnect in the way we perceive politics, and can be dangerously stark and ahistorical. The chapters here show that, far from being a clean break, the 'new' problems faced today might actually have 'old' solutions. What can Locke tell us about terrorists? What does Bentham have to say about sanctions? What are the ethics of outsourcing war to private companies? By looking back to decades and even centuries of ethical analysis and political theory, this book provides fascinating insight into all these questions. ...

The Walker : On Finding and Losing Yourself in the Modern City (9781788738927)

Gambar
Can you get lost in a crowd? It is polite to stare at people walking past on the street? What differentiates the city of daylight and the nocturnal metropolis? What connects walking, philosophy and the big toe? Can we save the city - or ourselves - by taking the pavement? There is no such thing as the wrong step; every time we walk we are going somewhere. In a series of riveting intellectual rambles, Matthew Beaumont retraces a history of the walker from Charles Dicken's insomniac night rambles to wandering through the faceless, windswept monuments of the neoliberal city including Edgar Allen Poe, Andrew Breton, H G Wells, Virginia Woolf, Jean Rhys and Ray Bradbury. As the author shows, the act of walking is one of escape, self-discovery, disappearances and potential revolution, and explores the relationship between the metropolis and its pedestrian life.

Hömma! Sprache im Ruhrgebiet (3837501515)

Gambar
Die Sprache des Ruhrgebiets ist Deutschlands jüngster und lebendigster Dialekt, der nie rein erhalten oder gepflegt wurde. Zwischen Ruhr und Lippe sagt man, was Sache ist: silbensparend direkt (Wat is, gehsse kaputt?) und zärtlich (Kumma, wie unsern Eumel die Pämpers schmeißt). Eine Sprache, die Angebern gern die Luft abläßt (Graf Koks vonne Gasanstalt), aber auch ehrlich Angst ausdrückt (Mach mich nich dat Hemt am flattern) und über das Leben philosophiert (Mitleif Kreißis, also dat is wennze so mitten im Leem stehs und auf eima, da krissat arme Dier). Nachzulesen in diesem Wörterbuch mit über 1.600 Stichwörtern, herrlichen Beispielen, einer unterhaltsamen Grammatik und dem ersten Streich aus Max und Moritz, wie ihn Wilhelm Busch im Ruhrgebiet gedichtet hätte.

Free to Learn : Why Unleashing the Instinct to Play Will Make Our Children Happier, More Self-Reliant, and Better Students for Life (9780465084999)

Gambar
In Free to Learn , developmental psychologist Peter Gray argues that in order to foster children who will thrive in today's constantly changing world, we must entrust them to steer their own learning and development. Drawing on evidence from anthropology, psychology, and history, he demonstrates that free play is the primary means by which children learn to control their lives, solve problems, get along with peers, and become emotionally resilient. A brave, counterintuitive proposal for freeing our children from the shackles of the curiosity-killing institution we call school, Free to Learn suggests that it's time to stop asking what's wrong with our children, and start asking what's wrong with the system. It shows how we can act,both as parents and as members of society,to improve children's lives and to promote their happiness and learning. Product details ...
