Physical Appearance Stigma and Social Behavior The Ontario Symposium Volume 3

Physical Appearance Stigma and Social Behavior The Ontario Symposium Volume 3

Originally published in 1986 this book grew out of a symposium held in 1981 at the University of Toronto on physical appearance as a determinant of personality and social behavior. There is little doubt that one’s appearance has some impact on the way one is perceived and treated; and presumably owing to the socially reflected nature of the self one’s personality likewise will be affected by one’s appearance. The questions arising from these basic observations and assumptions are many and the expert contributors were invited to discuss their research on some of the implications of individual differences in appearance as they ramify into personality and social interaction. The chapters in this volume are the outcome of those discussions and cover the areas of facial attractiveness; physique; impact on social behavior and deviance. Still a topic of interest to this day this book can now be read and enjoyed in its historical context. | Physical Appearance Stigma and Social Behavior The Ontario Symposium Volume 3

An Analysis of Resemblance

An Analysis of Resemblance

First published in 1952 An Analysis of Resemblance has two-fold aims. The opening chapters seek to present what it is not about. It is not concerned with any sense of resemblance in which that term is used by thinkers generally and widely called Hegelian Idealists. The several subsequent chapters of the work advance an analysis of four senses of resemblance. Two of these four senses would seem to be radical – in the etymological sense of the term. The other two senses are derivative. The concluding chapter advances some considerations as to the bearing of an analysis of resemblance on the matters of universals and taxonomy. Professor Church’s clearly stated ideas will arouse much discussion among students of philosophy. This book helps to round off his studies in this field and is a worthy successor to his earlier works.

Black Women and White Women in the Professions Occupational Segregation by Race and Gender 1960-1980

Black Women and White Women in the Professions Occupational Segregation by Race and Gender 1960-1980

Women of all racial\ethnic backrounds and minority men have been hailed as the major beneficiaries of the expansion in political economic and employment opportunities of the 1960s and 1970s. The author uses data derived from a twenty year span of census material to provide a thorough analysis of gender and race segregation throughout the professional occupations in the U. S. during this period of massive social change. She makes clear the advances achieved by all groups-men and women black and white-during this period of economic expansion as well as insightfully evaluating the differential advantage of white men against all other race/gender groups. At the same time Professor Sokoloff provides compelling evidence challenging several myths such as that of the two-fer myth whereby black women are said to benefit two-fold from their race and gender statuses from affirmative action. | Black Women and White Women in the Professions Occupational Segregation by Race and Gender 1960-1980

Foundation of Structural Geology

Foundation of Structural Geology

Since the first edition was published in 1983 this highly-regarded introductory textbook has been used by many generations of students worldwide. It is specifically tailored to the requirements of first or second year geology undergraduates. The third edition has been extensively revised and updated to include many new sections and over 50 new or redrawn illustrations. There are now over 220 illustrations many incorporating a second colour to highlight essential features. The format has been changed to enhance the visual attractiveness of the book. The tripartite organization of the first and second editions has been modified by combining the purely descriptive or factual aspects of fault and fold structure in the earlier chapters with a simple treatment of mechanisms leaving the more geometrically complex treatment until after the relevant sections on stress and strain as before. Some subjects are introduced for the first time e. g. inversion and orogen collapse and others have been extensively modified e. g. the chapter on gravity controlled structures now emphasises modern work on salt tectonics. The last third of the book is devoted to the wider context of geological structures and how they relate to plate tectonics. The final two chapters have been considerably expanded and give examples of various types of geological structures in their plate tectonic settings in both modern and ancient orogenic belts. | Foundation of Structural Geology

Strategic Culture(s) in Latin America Explaining Theoretical Puzzles and Policy Continuities

Strategic Culture(s) in Latin America Explaining Theoretical Puzzles and Policy Continuities

Strategic Culture(s) in Latin America elucidates why many state actors in the Global South exhibit a remarkable degree of policy continuity in their external behavior despite structural incentives for change. This book contends that the theoretical notion of strategic culture is instructive to explain such a puzzle. It extends the application of strategic culture beyond the policy of nuclear deterrence among great powers into other equally strategic areas of policy such as diplomacy political economy regional international institutions legal norms politico-military institutions and different security agendas beyond war and peace for example the illicit drug trade and peacekeeping missions. The overall contribution of this book is three-fold: first it rescues updates and expands the original conceptual and theoretical dimensions of strategic culture. Second it extrapolates further theoretical implications of the concept through its application to five policy domains in Latin America beyond the original application of the strategic culture perspective to nuclear weapons strategy among great powers in the 1970s. Third it draws together the theoretical and policy implications of the strategic cultures in Latin America and identifies possible applications for other peripheral non-great power policy areas and issues in the Global South. This book will be of interest to academics graduate and undergraduate students policy analysts and practitioners of Latin American Studies International Relations Theory and Security Studies. | Strategic Culture(s) in Latin America Explaining Theoretical Puzzles and Policy Continuities

The Dawn of Agriculture and the Earliest States in Genesis 1-11

The Dawn of Agriculture and the Earliest States in Genesis 1-11

This book invites a close textual encounter with the first 11 chapters of Genesis as an intimate drama of marginalised peoples wrestling with the rise of the world’s first grain states in the Mesopotamian alluvium. The initial 11 chapters of Genesis are often considered discordant and fragmentary despite being a story of beginnings within the context of the Bible. Readers discover how these formative chapters cohere as a cross-generational account of peoples grappling with the hegemonic spread of domesticated grain production and the concomitant rise of the pristine states of Mesopotamia. The book reveals how key episodes from the Genesis narrative reflect major societal revolutions of the Neolithic period in Mesopotamia through a three-fold hermeneutical method: literary analysis of the Bible and contemporary cuneiform texts; modern scholarship from archaeological anthropological ecological and historical sources; and relevant exegesis from the Second Temple and rabbinical era. These three strands entwine to recount a generally sequential story of the earliest archaic states as narrated by non-elites at the margins of these emerging state spaces. The Dawn of Agriculture and the Earliest States in Genesis 1–11 provides a fascinating reading of the first 11 chapters of Genesis appealing to students and scholars of the Hebrew Bible and the Near East as well as those working on ecological injustice from a religious vantage point. | The Dawn of Agriculture and the Earliest States in Genesis 1-11

Tourism in Post-Communist States Central and Eastern Europe

Tourism in Post-Communist States Central and Eastern Europe

This book addresses tourism and its development in the post-communist context of Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Although it has been over 30 years since many countries of Central and Eastern Europe embarked on the path of transition from state socialism to capitalism and liberal democracy the ongoing atrocious events in Ukraine bluntly remind us that the perception of CEE as a ‘transition’ region may have been done away with too early and that the legacies of communism continue to influence the reality of the region. Tourism is no exception here. While on the one hand tourism has significantly contributed to the post-communist restructuring of CEE on the other the communist heritage has played (and still plays) an important role in shaping the tourism geographies of the CEE region. The book consists of 14 chapters (divided into two sections) a new introduction and a reflective concluding section. All 14 main chapters in this book were originally published in the Tourism Geographies journal. The aim of the book is two-fold. First it summarises distils and highlights the important and often ground-breaking contributions Tourism Geographies has made over the years to the debate on tourism in CEE. Second it lays foundations for further research on tourism in the post-communist states of CEE. This book will be of great interest to upper-level students researchers and academics in various disciplines – human geography politics sociology and tourism studies in general. | Tourism in Post-Communist States Central and Eastern Europe
