Radical new critical theory for the twenty-first century: how to think about the Anthropocene In Molecular Red, McKenzie Wark creates philosophical tools for the Anthropocene, our new planetary epoch, in which human and natural forces are so entwined that the future of one determines that of the other. Wark explores the implications of Anthropocene through the story of two empires, the Soviet and then the American. The fall of the former prefigures that of the latter. From the ruins of these mighty histories, Wark salvages ideas to help us picture what kind of worlds collective labor might yet build. From the scientific pioneers who were trying to transform science during the Russia Revolution, to visionaries contemplating cyborg possibilities and science fiction dreams in late 20th century California, Molecular Red not only looks at the crisis of climate change that we face but also how we might be able to understand it, and how we might salvage some hope out of the wreckage.
Razgovori Teoretičara Zygmunta Baumana i teologa Stanisława Obireka – i pored razlika u njihovim intelektualnim biografijama – veže ista potraga za odgovorima na pitanje o mjestu Boga u čovjekovu životu. Autori razgovaraju o jednom Bogu i mnogim bogovima, o toleranciji, traženju jedine istine, o vjeri, o tome što je religijska spoznaja, o odnosima između Boga i čovjeka, o ulozi slučaja u životu, o svojim učiteljima, a na kraju i o nadi. Stanisław Obirek ne skriva da je u zamislima Zygmunta Baumana pronašao potvrdu mnogih svojih razmišljanja. Zygmunt Bauman iznenađuje poznavanjem teološke problematike. Razgovarajući, odlično se slažu, jednom polemiziraju, drugi put kroče istim putevima, a čitatelj kao šutljivi sudionik toga dijaloga ima osiguranu intelektualnu zadovoljštinu vrhunskoga odmjeravanja snaga. Kao što je rekao Zygmunt Bauman u knjizi, sugovornike je vodila ista želja za pomirenjem mnoštva religija s jedincatošću čovječanstva. Riječ je o značajnom djelu, koje otvara dijalog i rasprave o tematiziranju Boga u suvremenom društvu. (tekst s korica knjige)

NAPOMENA: podcrtavano Known for its readability, Experimental Methodology is organized so that each chapter focuses on a specific step in the research process. The primary orientation of this text is toward providing instruction in the experimental approach, but an introduction to non-experimental approaches such as ex-post facto research, correlational research, and survey research is provided. Rather than dichotomizing psychological research into descriptive and experimental research, this edition takes the more current approach of using the quantitative and qualitative research dichotomy, presented in Chapter 2. Christensen also incorporates thorough coverage of research ethics. MARRKET: For anyone interested in research methods in psychology and education.
Essentials of Research Methods in Psychology by Jeannne S. Zechmeister, Eugene B. Zechmeister, and John J. Shaughnessy is designed to teach students the process of research (developing research ideas, forming a hypothesis, choosing a design, selecting the appropriate method, collecting, interpreting and reporting the results). A guide for the research process is introduced in the second chapter and reinforced as each method is introduced. The use of a consistent framework allows students to see the commonality of each method making the subsequent methods easier to learn. Essentials is based on the successful Research Methods in Psychology 5th edition text by the same authors. This text was completely rewritten in a more conversational style including the use of cartoons and insights from researchers describing how they conducted studies to appeal to students with little mathematical background. Case studies are used to show the use of appropriate methods and the ethical considerations inherent in the research process. This 250 page paperback text is ideal for a community college or for a four year university where brief coverage is desired.

Ova se knjiga bavi rukovođenjem u organizacijama i na prvom je mjestu usmjerena na rukovođenje u poslovnim organizacijama, za razliku od parlamentarnog (ruko)vođenja, vođenja u socijalnim pokretima ili nastajanja vođa u neformalnim grupama. Knjiga pruža širok pregled teorija i istraživanja rukovođenja u formalnim organizacijama. Osobito je zanimljiva uspješnost rukovođenja, pa se rasprava uvijek ponovno vraća na pitanje što neku osobu čini uspješnim rukovoditeljem. Sadržaj knjige odražava dvostruko zanimanje za teoriju i praksu. Autor je nastojao zadovoljiti dvije različite publike s ponešto različitim preferencijama. Većina onih koji rade na sveučilištu preferira knjigu koja daje sveobuhvatan pregled i evaluaciju empirijskih istraživanja. Njih više zanima koliko su dobro istraživanja provedena i koja su dodatna istraživanja potrebna nego njihova praktična primjena. Mnogi su znanstvenici skeptični prema vrijednosti preporuka, propisa i smjernica namijenjenih ljudima u praksi, pa ih bez dodatnih istraživanja smatraju preuranjenima. Mnogi praktičari žele izravne odgovore o tome što im je, i na koji način, činiti kako bi bili učinkovitiji na rukovoditeljskim položajima. Oni se moraju baviti postojećim izazovima svog posla i ne mogu desetljećima čekati da znanstvenici riješe svoje teorijske prepirke i pronađu definitivne dogovore. Većinu praktičara više zanima pronalaženje korisnih rješenja i preporuka nego spoznaja o tome kako su ta znanja bila otkrivena.

Drawing upon more than 30 years of experience in working with statistics, Dr. Richard J. Harris has updated A Primer of Multivariate Statistics to provide a model of balance between how-to and why. This classic text covers multivariate techniques with a taste of latent variable approaches. Throughout the book there is a focus on the importance of describing and testing one’s interpretations of the emergent variables that are produced by multivariate analysis. This edition retains its conversational writing style while focusing on classical techniques. The book gives the reader a feel for why one should consider diving into more detailed treatments of computer-modeling and latent-variable techniques, such as non-recursive path analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and hierarchical linear modeling. Throughout the book there is a focus on the importance of describing and testing one’s interpretations of the emergent variables that are produced by multivariate analysis.

This exciting new book brings together contributions from world-leading scholars as well as younger researchers and focuses on cutting-edge issues related to the practice of qualitative research in the field. It provides a forum for contributors to discuss the issues and processes which inform qualitative research in its various forms as based on fieldwork experiences. In achieving this in an accessible manner to both practicing students and researchers, it seeks to enable a dialogue over ideas and provide the reader with a state of the art overview of the topic from a contemporary perspective. Rather than being a how to do book, this volume should prove vitally useful for advanced students and researchers who wish to engage with those ideas and practices in terms of their applicability for an understanding and explanation of the place of qualitative research in the social sciences. It is also a forum in which leading scholars make an original contribution to the subject. Lively and highly readable throughout, Qualitative Research in Action will be essential reading for advanced undergraduates and above in a variety of disciplines, as well as researchers who wish to engage with contemporary ideas and practices in relation to qualitative research.
Second Edition Collecting and Interpreting Qualitative Materials, Fourth Edition is Volume III of the three-volume paperback versions of The SAGE Handbook of Qualitative Research, Fourth Edition. This portion of the handbook considers the tasks of collecting, analyzing, and interpreting empirical materials, and comprises the complete handbook’s Part IV: Methods of Collecting and Analyzing Empirical Materials and Part V: The Art and Practices of Interpretation, Evaluation, and Presentation. Collecting and Interpreting Qualitative Materials, Fourth Edition introduces the researcher to basic methods of gathering, analyzing and interpreting qualitative empirical materials. Part 1 moves from narrative inquiry, to critical arts-based inquiry, to oral history, observations, visual methodologies, and autoethnographic methods. It then takes up analysis methods, including computer-assisted methodologies, focus groups, as well as strategies for analyzing talk and text. The chapters in Part II discuss evidence, interpretive adequacy, forms of representation, post-qualitative inquiry, the new information technologies and research, the politics of evidence, writing, and evaluation practices.
Third Edition Now in its third edition, this leading introduction to ethnography has been thoroughly updated and substantially rewritten. It offers a systematic introduction to ethnographic principles and practice. New material covers the use of visual and virtual research methods, hypermedia software and the issue of ethical regulation. There is also a new prologue and epilogue. The authors argue that ethnography is best understood as a reflexive process. What this means is that we must recognize that social research is part of the world that it studies. From an outline of the principle of reflexivity the authors go on to discuss and exemplify main features of ethnographic work, including: the selection and sampling of cases the problems of access observation and interviewing recording and filing data the process of data analysis and writing research reports. Throughout, the discussion draws on a wide range of illustrative material from classic and more recent studies within a global context. The new edition of this popular textbook will be an indispensable resource for students and researchers utilizing social research methods in the social sciences and cultural studies.
