Biological Complexity and Integrative Pluralism

Biological Complexity and Integrative Pluralism

Sandra D. Mitchell

Cambridge University Press
2003
sidottu
This fine collection of essays by a leading philosopher of science presents a defence of integrative pluralism as the best description for the complexity of scientific inquiry today. The tendency of some scientists to unify science by reducing all theories to a few fundamental laws of the most basic particles that populate our universe is ill-suited to the biological sciences, which study multi-component, multi-level, evolved complex systems. This integrative pluralism is the most efficient way to understand the different and complex processes - historical and interactive - that generate biological phenomena. This book will be of interest to students and professionals in the philosophy of science.

War and Social Change in Modern Europe

War and Social Change in Modern Europe

Sandra Halperin

Cambridge University Press
2003
sidottu
Halperin traces the persistence of traditional class structures during the development of industrial capitalism in Europe, and the way in which these structures shaped states and state behavior and generated conflict. She documents European conflicts between 1789 and 1914, including small and medium scale conflicts often ignored by researchers and links these conflicts to structures characteristic of industrial capitalist development in Europe before 1945. This book revisits the historical terrain of Karl Polanyi's The Great Transformation (1944), however, it argues that Polanyi's analysis is, in important ways, inaccurate and misleading. Ultimately, the book shows how and why the conflicts both culminated in the world wars and brought about a 'great transformation' in Europe. Its account of this period challenges not only Polanyi's analysis, but a variety of influential perspectives on nationalism, development, conflict, international systems change, and globalization.

Slavery in the Roman World

Slavery in the Roman World

Sandra R. Joshel

Cambridge University Press
2010
sidottu
Sandra Joshel provides a comprehensive overview of Roman slavery. Using a variety of sources, including literature, law, and material culture, she examines the legal condition of Roman slaves, traces the stages of the sale of slaves, analyses the relations between slaves and slaveholders, and details the social and family lives of slaves. Richly illustrated with images of slaves, captives, and the material conditions of slaves, this book also considers food, clothing, and housing of slaves, thereby locating slaves in their physical surroundings – the cook in the kitchen, the maid in her owner's bedroom, the smith in a workshop, and the farm labourer in a vineyard. Based on rigorous scholarship, Slavery in the Roman World serves as a lively, accessible account to introductory-level students of the ancient Mediterranean world.

Myth, Ritual and Metallurgy in Ancient Greece and Recent Africa

Myth, Ritual and Metallurgy in Ancient Greece and Recent Africa

Sandra Blakely

Cambridge University Press
2006
sidottu
In this volume, first published in 2006, Sandra Blakely considers technological myths and rituals associated with ancient Greek daimones, who made metal; and African rituals in which iron plays a central role. Noting the rich semantic web of associations that has connected metallurgy to magic, birth, kingship, autochthony, and territorial possession in both Greek and African cultures, Blakely examines them together in order to cast light on the Greek demons, which are only fragmentarily preserved and which have often been equated to general types of smithing gods. Her comparison demonstrates that these demons are more sophisticated and ritually useful than has been previously acknowledged. This book provides new insights into the position of technology in Greek myth. Providing a new methodology for the study of Greek religion, which uses comparative cultural material in a thoughtful and careful way, it helps close the fifty-year gap between the social sciences and Classical philology in the theoretical understanding and study of technological systems.

Caetana Says No

Caetana Says No

Sandra Lauderdale Graham

Cambridge University Press
2002
pokkari
Here are the true and dramatic accounts of two nineteenth-century Brazilian women - one young and born a slave, the other old and from an illustrious planter family - and how each sought to retain control of their lives: the slave woman struggling to avoid an unwanted husband; the woman of privilege assuming a patriarch’s role to endow a family of her former slaves with the means for a free life. But these women’s stories cannot be told without also recalling how their decisions drew them ever more firmly into the orbits of the worldly and influential men who exercised power in their lives. These are stories with a twist: in this society of radically skewed power, Lauderdale Graham reveals that more choices existed for all sides than we first imagine. Through these small histories she casts new light on larger meanings of slave and free, female and male.

Growing in to Autism

Growing in to Autism

Sandra Thom-Jones

MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY PRESS
2022
nidottu
What's it like to realise you're autistic? And how do you start to ask the world around you to accept that?From the outside looking in, Sandra Thom-Jones was living a successful life: she had a great career, a beautiful home, a caring husband, two loving sons and supportive friends. But from the inside looking out, she was struggling to make sense of her place in the world, constantly feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, and convinced that her challenges with daily life just meant that she had to try harder. In Growing In to Autism, Thom-Jones tells the story of gradually realizing that she was autistic, and that she experienced the world in ways which were markedly different from neurotypical people. This was a profound awakening – throughout her life she had been masking her true self and this effort had come at great physical, mental and emotional cost. Applying her skills as an experienced and expert researcher, Thom-Jones delved into the literature on autism in adults, learning much more than she already knew as a parent of two autistic boys.Part personal, funny, endearing and enlightening memoir, and part rigorous explication of the nature of autism, Growing in to Autism is a book for all people, memorably conveying the need for better understanding and ways of making space for a group of individuals in our society who have so much to offer.

From the outside looking in, Sandra Thom-Jones was living a successful life: she had a great career, a beautiful home, a loving family and supportive friends. But from the inside looking out, she was struggling to make sense of her place in the world, constantly feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, and convinced that her challenges with daily life just meant that she had to try harder. In Growing in to Autism, Sandra tells the story of gradually realising she was autistic, and that she experienced the world in ways which were markedly different from non-autistic people. Applying her skills as an experienced and expert researcher, Sandra delved into the literature on autism in adults, learning much more than she had already known as a parent of two autistic boys. Part personal, funny, and enlightening memoir, and part rigorous explication of the nature of autism, Growing in to Autism is a book for everyone. This updated edition includes a revised preface and afterword, in which Sandra reflects on reader responses, how the book has furthered her own growth, and the subsequent changes in her life. Reader feedback has also inspired a fully updated chapter on autistic strengths. In the words of her readers, Growing in to Autism helps autistic people feel 'understood, validated and less alone'. It also gives non-autistic readers a genuine insight into ways of understanding and making space for a group of individuals in our society who have so much to offer.

Autistics at Work

Sandra Thom-Jones

MELBOURNE UNIVERSITY PRESS
2025
nidottu
Sandra Thom-Jones has tried all kinds of work - selling flowers, tending bar, office work, university leadership. Along the way she has made some mistakes, had some successes, and learnt a lot about the barriers and facilitators for autistic people building a career in a predominantly neurotypical work environment. Thom-Jones shares her personal experiences and reflections as well as those of her colleagues, providing insights into the challenges and benefits of both being and working with an autistic employee, co-worker and employer. Autistics at Work is also informed by two decades of study into the autistic experience, and covers all aspects of the employment journey, from entering the workforce to senior leadership. Autistics at Work is essential reading for autistic individuals who are in, or considering entering, the workforce. It is also an invaluable resource for managers, colleagues, employers and employment professionals. This accessible guide includes tools and activities, and each chapter concludes with practical advice for autistic employees and their non-autistic colleagues and employers. We shouldn't be asking what jobs are suitable for autistic people, but how can we make this job suitable for this autistic person?
