Описание: Challenging the dominant view of nationalism as a historically declining social force, Malesevic explains why the recent escalation of populist nationalism is not a social anomaly but rather a historical norm. Globalisation is not the enemy of nationalism; instead, as this book shows, the two forces have developed together through modern history.
This student textbook, originally published in 1991, tackles the traditional problems of the sociology of knowledge from a new perspective. Drawing on recent developments in social theory, Tim Dant explores crucial questions such as the roles of power and knowledge, the status of rational knowledge, and the empirical analysis of knowledge. He argues that, from a sociological perspective, knowledge, ideology and discourse are different aspects of the same phenomenon, and reasserts the central thesis of the sociology - that knowledge is socially determined.
Описание: Reading the World: An Introduction to Sociological Critique and Analysis helps students see that the normal, familiar aspects of their everyday life frequently have unexpected and even startling dimensions. Students learn to uncover layers of meaning that are hard to spontaneously perceive in things, behaviors, and events in the world around them. The book helps readers understand how and why the familiar can be deceptive. It shows that the sciences, sociology included, help us see things otherwise blurred by our own habits of thought, obscured by unexamined mental routines that limit what we can perceive, think, and imagine. The text also helps students understand how individuals and societies develop a sense of curiosity about the way the world works, and a related readiness for the new, the unexpected, and the strange. It shows that this kind of reflective attitude has changed history, liberated us from our own unexamined perceptions, and bettered the human experience. Reading the World is designed for courses in the social sciences, particularly those that emphasize social constructionism as well as critique and analysis of ideology, including introductory courses in sociology, social psychology, and social theory. The second edition features expanded content and more robust discussions of key topics throughout. It has been revised, updated, and reorganized to present the information in 13 chapters rather than 16.
Описание: The Business of Sport: A Sociological, Economical, and Historical Analysis of Sports through the Ages provides students with a comprehensive overview of sports from ancient to contemporary times, chronicling how sports evolved into a multibillion-dollar industry. The book also demonstrates how modern sports, markets, and culture are intrinsically intertwined and constantly influence each other. The book is divided into two units. Unit I begins with a chronological discussion of the evolution of sports from religious and martial purposes to a rationally driven industry. It then examines the unique interplay between politics and sports, and religion and sports. Unit II focuses on the business aspects of sports with chapters dedicated to the youth sports industry and its role in a culture of consumerism, the college sports industry as a financial resource for colleges and universities, and the sport media industry with regard to mass media systems, athlete representation, and more. Additional topics addresses include the global economics of sports and the Olympics. Thoroughly engaging and unique in critical perspective, The Business of Sport is an ideal resource for courses in sports management, sociology, cultural studies, marketing, and psychology.

Описание:
Here is an indispensable text and reference book for anyone interested in a systems approach to environmental studies. It will be useful not only to geographers but also to ecologists and other environmental scientists; planners; economists and other social scientists; philosophers; and applied mathematicians.
Bennett and Chorley's book has a number of broad aims: first, to employ the systems approach to provide an interdisciplinary focus on environmental structures and techniques; second, to use this approach to aid in developing the interfacing of social and economic theory with physical and biological theory; and third, to investigate the implications of this interfacing for human response to current environmental dilemmas, and hence to expose the technological and social bases of values which underlie our use of natural resources.
Interpreting the "environment" so as to embrace physical, biological, man-made, social, and economic reality, the authors show that the systems approach provides a powerful vehicle for the statement of environmental situations of ever-growing temporal and spatial magnitude, and for reducing the areas of uncertainty in our increasingly complex decision making arenas.
