A Brief History of Philosophy

A Brief History of Philosophy

Derek Johnston

Continuum International Publishing Group Ltd.
2006
nidottu
This title offers a fun, concise and attractive introduction to a fascinating and challenging subject. This is the ideal book for teenagers and students coming to philosophy for the first time, or indeed for anyone who just doesn't know where to start. The book examines 18 key thinkers, from Socrates to Derrida, exploring their ideas in relation to each other and to their historical and cultural contexts. Derek Johnston uses clear and accessible language to present an engaging chronological picture of the key figures, events and ideas that have shaped the history of philosophy. Boxes giving timelines of key events and crisp, clear explanations of key terms feature throughout the book. The book can be easily used as a reference tool or read all the way through for a clear overview of philosophy. Indeed, as the reader's understanding of the nature of philosophy develops, so too does the book's approach to its subject matter, introducing more complex ideas as the chapters progress. Crucially, the book does not try to cover everything - this is a concise and accessible introduction to philosophy for those starting out in this compelling subject. No prior knowledge of philosophy is required to enjoy this incisive, reader-friendly introduction. This is the ideal book for AS/A2 level students or general readers looking for a way into this fascinating, but very often challenging subject.

A Brief History of Theology

Derek Johnston

2008

A fun, concise and attractive introduction to a fascinating and challenging subject. This is the ideal book for secondary school students and undergraduate students coming to theology for the first time, or indeed for anyone who just doesn't know where to start. The book examines key thinkers from the New Testament to Feminist Theology. It starts by considering some of the authors of New Testament writings and then focuses on representatives of the western tradition of theological speculation. Nearly half the work concentrates on 20th century thinkers and problems. It puts them in their historical, social and cultural settings, emphasizing that theology is as much a reflection on the world we live in as it is on God. Technical terms are explained in simple language throughout the text. This makes the book an ideal reference tool for a clear first overview of theology.

Das Selbsthilfe-Manual besteht aus einem ersten Teil für die Betroffenen und einem zweiten Teil für deren Angehörige. Beide sollten jedoch beide Teile durcharbeiten, da sie nur begrenzt Wiederholungen beinhalten. Das Selbsthilfe-Programm sollte unter Anleitung und nur nach Absicherung der Diagnose Platzangst durch einen ärztlichen oder psychologischen Therapeuten angewendet werden.

In der Bundesrepublik leiden rund 3,5 % der Bevölkerung unter Platzangst, zu zwei Dritteln handelt es sich dabei um Frauen. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Informations- und Selbsthilfe-Büchern über den Umgang mit Angst wendet sich dieses Buch spezifisch an Personen mit Platzangst, an deren Partner und Familienangehörige. Im Sinne eines gestuften Übungs-Kurses und in allgemeinverständlicher Form vermittelt das Buch einerseits das Grundverständnis für diese Erkrankung, zum anderen bietet es gezielte Maßnahmen an zur Überwindung der Angst und zum Abbau von Fehlverhalten. Das Therapeutenmanual setzt sich zusammen aus einer Anleitung für den Therapeuten und dem Selbsthilfemanual für den Patienten. Zu Beginn der Behandlung legt der Berater mit dem Patienten fest, wie dieser mit den Unterweisungen arbeiten soll. In bestimmten zeitlichen Abständen überprüft der Therapeut, ob sein Patient das Konzept verstanden hat und richtig anwenden kann. Dieses in Oxford entwickelte und später in Hamburg ins Deutsche übersetzte und überarbeitete Konzept berücksichtigt den jüngsten Kenntnisstand in der Angstforschung.

TEACHING THE PRIMARY CURRICULUM

TEACHING THE PRIMARY CURRICULUM

Jane Johnston; Mark Charter; Derek Bell

Open University Press
2002
nidottu
* What is good teaching and learning in the primary school?* How can teachers manage the whole curriculum and still educate the whole child and raise standards?* How can teachers be in critical dialogue with each other and with the curriculum in their search for improvement?* What is the role of the teacher in the new primary curriculum?This wide ranging book seeks to address these questions and to provide a comprehensive overview of the whole primary curriculum. It aims to develop teaching throughout primary education and to support teachers in the effective delivery of the curriculum. There is a particular focus on recent changes in primary education. The contributors consider how teaching methodologies need to adapt to these changes to meet the needs of children and raise standards in school. Throughout the book, emphasis is placed on effective teaching and learning methodologies, the importance of quality interaction in the classroom, the role of the teacher in teaching and learning and the experience of the child. Exemplars of good teaching are provided in each chapter, as well as thought provoking ideas for good practice.

Transgenerational Media Industries

Transgenerational Media Industries

Derek Johnson

The University of Michigan Press
2019
nidottu
Within corporate media industries, adults produce children’s entertainment. Yet children, presumed to exist outside the professional adult world, make their own contributions to it—creating and posting unboxing videos, for example, that provide content for toy marketers. Many adults, meanwhile, avidly consume entertainment products nominally meant for children. Media industries reincorporate this market-disrupting participation into their strategies, even turning to adult consumers to pass fandom to the next generation. Derek Johnson presents an innovative perspective that looks beyond the simple category of “kids’ media” to consider how entertainment industry strategies invite producers and consumers alike to cross boundaries between adulthood and childhood, professional and amateur, new media and old. Revealing the social norms, reproductive ideals, and labor hierarchies on which such transformations depend, he identifies the lines of authority and power around which legacy media institutions like television, comics, and toys imagine their futures in a digital age. Johnson proposes that it is not strategies of media production, but of media reproduction, that are most essential in this context. To understand these critical intersections, he investigates transgenerational industry practice in television co-viewing, recruitment of adult comic readers as youth outreach ambassadors, media professionals’ identification with childhood, the branded management of adult fans of LEGO, and the labor of child YouTube video creators. These dynamic relationships may appear to disrupt generational and industry boundaries alike. However, by considering who media industries empower when generating the future in these reproductive terms and who they leave out, Johnson ultimately demonstrates how their strategies reinforce existing power structures. This book makes vital contributions to media studies in its fresh approach to the intersections of adulthood and childhood, its attention to the relationship between legacy and digital media industries, and its advancement of dialogue between media production and consumption researchers. It will interest scholars in media industry studies and across media studies more broadly, with particular appeal to those concerned about the current and future reach of media industries into our lives.

There is more to becoming a great pitcher than sound mechanics, a blazing fastball, and a live arm. A pitcher must know how to pitch—what to throw, when to throw it, and where to locate it. He must have a me-versus-you mind-set, that unique blend of confidence and determination that fuels a passion to set the tone of the game, own the mound, and shut down the opponent. The Complete Guide to Pitching is the most comprehensive pitching resource available. Derek Johnson, one of the game's premier pitching coaches, takes you inside the art and science of pitching. You'll discover these strategies: • Upper- and lower-body pitching mechanics • Most effective arm and shoulder strengthening workouts • Shutting down the opponent's running game • Developing a potent pitching arsenal, including the splitter, curve, and changeup • Creating a pregame pitching plan • Situational strategies and recognizing hitters' weaknesses • Fielding the position • In- and off-season conditioning programs • Windup, stretch, and follow-through From pregame warm-ups to cultivating the pitcher–catcher relationship, it's all here in this one-of-a-kind book and DVD package. Featuring skill instruction, development drills, exercises, personal insights, and instruction on every aspect of pitching, The Complete Guide to Pitching is a must-have for every pitching coach, pitcher, and baseball fan.

Media Franchising

Media Franchising

"Johnson astutely reveals that franchises are not Borg-like assimilation machines, but, rather, complicated ecosystems within which creative workers strive to create compelling 'shared worlds.' This finely researched, breakthrough book is a must-read for anyone seeking a sophisticated understanding of the contemporary media industry." —Heather Hendershot, author of What's Fair on the Air?: Cold War Right-Wing Broadcasting and the Public Interest While immediately recognizable throughout the U.S. and many other countries, media mainstays like X-Men, Star Trek, and Transformers achieved such familiarity through constant reincarnation. In each case, the initial success of a single product led to a long-term embrace of media franchising—a dynamic process in which media workers from different industrial positions shared in and reproduced familiar cultureacross television, film, comics, games, and merchandising. In Media Franchising, Derek Johnson examines the corporate culture behind these production practices, as well as the collaborative and creative efforts involved in conceiving, sustaining, and sharing intellectual properties in media work worlds. Challenging connotations of homogeneity, Johnson shows how the cultural and industrial logic of franchising has encouraged media industries to reimagine creativity as an opportunity for exchange among producers, licensees, and evenconsumers. Drawing on case studies and interviews with media producers, he reveals the meaningful identities, cultural hierarchies, and struggles for distinction that accompany collaboration within these production networks. Media Franchising provides a nuanced portrait of the collaborative cultural production embedded in both the media industries and our own daily lives.

Pastoral in the Work of Charles Dickens

Pastoral in the Work of Charles Dickens

Derek Johnson

Peter Lang AG
1992
nidottu
The mystifications of pastoral which long blinded Dickens to contemporary political realities were compounded by his enthusiasm for the Victorian Nature cult inspired by Wordsworth. Growing awareness of the misery prevalent in rural England drastically radicalised him but also exacerbated his weakness for the neurotic versions of pastoral related to child-cult. The peculiarly Victorian male fantasies of the child-wife and 'Angel on the Hearth', however, offered no final security from the life-long dread of the working man's potential danger to social stability responsible for the reactionary tendencies of his later years.
