The Inverted Man

The Inverted Man

Thomas Berly Kurishingal

Notion Press
2020
pokkari
No one can imagine a perfect world in which he has no desire to sin. Everything that is tricky, shifty or most passionately cherished is likely to leave an inner dissatisfaction. What is crippled and incomplete in him slowly petrifies into hatred - a hatred of himself and therefore the world Only through others can we attempt to shape opinions about ourselves, because we want them as the best of our admirers. For this, the undesirable self should gain in self-esteem and undergo transformation for the good.The Inverted Man will allow the reader to acquire a promising self instead of perusing a life of pride - the igniting substitute for self-esteem.

Battalion Commanders at War

Battalion Commanders at War

Steven Thomas Barry

University Press of Kansas
2013
sidottu
Most histories of the U.S. Army in World War II view the Mediterranean Theatre of Operations primarily as a deadly training ground for very green forces, where lessons learned on the beaches of Oran, in the hills of the Kasserine Pass area, and at the collapse of the Tunis bridgehead all contributed to later success in Western Europe. Steven Barry, however, contends that victory in the MTO would not have materialised without the leadership of battalion-level commanders. They operated at a high level, despite the lack of combat experience for themselves and their troops, ineffective leadership at higher levels, and deficiencies in equipment, organisation, and mobilisation.Barry portrays these officers as highly trained, adaptable, and courageous in their first combat experiences in North Africa and Sicily. Their leadership, he argues, brought discipline, maturity, experience, and the ability to translate common operational guidance into tactical reality, and thus contributed significantly to battlefield success in North Africa and Sicily in 1942–1943. To explain how this happened, he examines their prewar experiences, including professional military education and unit training exercises; personal factors such as calmness and physical resilience under fire; and the ability to draw upon doctrine, creatively apply the resources at their disposal, and clearly define and communicate mission goals and means. He also reveals how battalion leaders incorporated technological innovations into combined arms manoeuvres by employing tank capabilities and close air support doctrine. As Barry’s assessment shows, these battalion commanders were not the sole reason for the Allied triumph in North Africa and Sicily, but victory would not have been possible without the special brand of military leadership they exhibited throughout those campaigns. Under their leadership, even inexperienced units were able to deliver credible combat performance, and without the regular army battalion leaders, U.S. units could not have functioned tactically early in the war. One of the few studies to focus on tactical adaptation at the battalion level in conventional warfare, Barry’s book attests to the pivotal value of professional military education—and makes an important contribution to today’s “organisational learning” debate—while providing an in-depth view of adaptation of U.S. infantry and armoured forces in 1942–1943.

Författarna tecknar ett friluftsliv i förändring som begrepp, företeelse och som ett empiriskt och vetenskapligt fält. Här diskuteras bland annat hur det forskas kring begreppet, man redovisar enkätstudier i ämnet, gör en kvantitativ analys av friluftslivet liksom man beskriver och tecknar de sociala mönstren. Även barns möten med natur, det friluftsliv som sker nära tätorterna och naturupplevelsernas ekonomiska värde undersöks. Och vilka nya aktiviteter av friluftsliv finns? Vidare diskuteras när friluftsliv blir naturturism. Skillnaden mellan kvantitativ och kvalitativ metod i friluftsforskningen med exemplet bär- och svampplockning granskas. Boken illustreras med foton och diagram. En rad kunniga skribenter deltar, alla med förankring i universitets- och högskolemiljöer. Bokens redaktörer är: Peter Fredman är professor i naturturism vid ETOUR, Mittuniversitetet i Östersund. Klas Sandell är professor i kulturgeografi vid Karlstads universitet.

Pedagogiskt arbete har under 2000-talet vuxit fram som ett ämne och forskningsområde. Det är lärares ”eget” forskarutbildningsämne inom vilket forskarutbildade lärare själva kan bidra till kunskapsutveckling med relevans för läraryrket. Det är den här bokens huvudsyfte att bidra till ämnets formering och utveckling - med utgångspunkt i de yngre årens pedagogiska praktiker, det vill säga förskola, förskoleklass och fritidshem.Innehållet är indelat i fyra teman. Det första rör ämnets identifiering och huvudfrågor. Inom det andra temat tar författarna upp etiska och metodologiska perspektiv samt dilemman inom den praktiknära forskningen. Det tredje temat rör pedagogiskt arbete utifrån samhälleliga utmaningar förr och nu, bland annat barns rätt till en likvärdig utbildning. Inom det fjärde temat står praktisk pedagogisk handling i fokus, exempelvis konkreta undervisningssituationer och systematiskt kvalitetsarbete. Författarna är en grupp forskare, doktorander och lärarutbildare, som tillsammans ger en bred bild av ämnet och forskningsområdet pedagogiskt arbete i de yngre årens pedagogiska praktiker. I boken väcks frågor i relation till den utbildningspraktik som studeras och som bör beaktas av såväl verksamma lärare, lärarutbildare som forskare.Boken vänder sig främst till lärarstudenter, lärarutbildare, doktorander, forskare och verksamma lärare med inriktning yngre barn.

Power and Gender in Oneota Culture

Power and Gender in Oneota Culture

Thomas Edward Berres

Northern Illinois University Press
2001
pokkari
Examining the traces left by inhabitants of prehistoric Illinois, archaeologist Thomas Berres finds a society without hierarchy, whose patterns of daily life were shaped by deeply held religious beliefs and traditions. Recognizing that symbols on artifacts left by the Oneota people reveal much about their understanding of the world, Berres analyzes these symbols and challenges commonly held assumptions about early Native American culture. He finds, for example, that the Oneota conceived of power as a means of accomplishment rather than as a way to control others and that the roles of men and women were well defined but parallel. His findings carry important new implications for understanding the role of women in Native American culture. Berres recreates the values and cosmologies of the Oneota communities by closely examining all aspects of Oneota life and death, from food preparation to burial. His discussion of the thunderbird and Oneota mortuary practices, in particular, helps to capture the beliefs in the supernatural that were a vital part of life for these people. Archaeologists and readers interested in Native American history and culture will find fresh insights in Power and Gender in Oneota Culture.
