At Home with Ivan Vladislavić An African Flaneur Greens the Postcolonial City

At Home with Ivan Vladislavić An African Flaneur Greens the Postcolonial City

At Home With Ivan Vladislavić is the first comprehensive analysis of the works of Ivan Vladislavić. Bringing a flaneur’s internal GPS to postcolonial Johannesburg Vladislavić established a critical sense of home via an intimate knowledge of geography and history. This sense of belonging can have positive ecological effects as we tend to protect what we know. The flaneur’s deep word hoard also helped him to develop a minimalist style which was not only a means of living sustainably in the city but in its humour and close attention to detail a way to make greening the city more of a joy than a duty. In this way Vladislavić created a culture of sustainability. Introduction and Chapter 6 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at http://www. taylorfrancis. com under a Creative Commons [Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND)] 4. 0 license. | At Home with Ivan Vladislavić An African Flaneur Greens the Postcolonial City

Developments in Lymphoid Cell Biology

Developments in Lymphoid Cell Biology

In this volume the author by no means attempted to give a comprehensive view of the myriad of recent developments in immunology. The author has attempted after introducing sufficient background in chapter 1 to highlight certain areas of lymphoid cell biology which are given less attention in current thinking but which seem to the author to offer exciting prospects for research. In other cases the important topics of transplantation and tolerance are looked at from points of view which are somewhat less conventional in the hope that these aspects may stimulate others to look at the yet unsolved problems in these areas. In making the selection of topics and indeed in the selection of references within each chapter the contributors and the author have attempted to select those which offered what seemed to be the best sources of information. They do not wish to minimize the important contributions of others but are guided by constraints of brevity and cogent expression. | Developments in Lymphoid Cell Biology

Forsake Fear Memoirs of an Historian

Forsake Fear Memoirs of an Historian

First published in 1991 Forsake Fear is the history of historians in post-war Soviet society. Nekrich in recounting his own brave story tells us how he dared to challenge the prevailing conformism. From his unique ad riveting vantage point Nekrich also provides a broader picture of Soviet society and its intellectual life during high Stalinism and after. In 1945 Aleksandr Nekrich returned from the front. He spent the next three decades at the centre of the Soviet historical profession. He maintained friendships with such noted public figures such as Ivan Maisky Soviet ambassador to Britain and Abram Deborin whom Stalin branded a ‘Menshevik-idealist. ’ He also encountered writers artists scientists and even spies. Among Soviet historians Nekrich was the only one who dared to break the taboo and declare that the Stalin-Hitler pact was advantageous to Nazi Germany. This book will be of interest to students of history literature international relations and political science. | Forsake Fear Memoirs of an Historian

Behaviorism

Behaviorism

Watson was the father of behaviorism. His now-revered lectures on the subject defined behaviorism as a natural science that takes the whole field of human adjustment as its own. It is the business of behaviorist psychology to predict and control human activity. The field has as its aim to be able given the stimulus to predict the response or seeing the reaction to know the stimulus that produced it. Watson argued that psychology is as good as its observations: what the organism does or says in the general environment. Watson identified laws of learning including frequency and recency. Kimble makes it perfectly clear that Watson's behaviorism while deeply indebted to Ivan Pavlov went beyond the Russian master in his treatment of cognition language and emotion. It becomes clear that Behaviorism is anything but the reductionist caricature it is often made out to be in the critical literature. For that reason alone the work merits a wide reading. Behaviorism as was typical of the psychology of the time offered a wide array of applications all of which can be said to fall on the enlightened side of the ledger. At a time of mixed messages Watson argued against child beating and abuse for patterns of enlightened techniques of factory management and for curing the sick and isolating the small cadre of criminals not subject to correction. And anticipating Thomas Szasz he argued against a doctrine of strictly mental diseases and for a close scrutiny of behavioral illness and disturbances. Kimble's brilliant introduction to Watson ends with a challenge to subjectivism to provide evidence that Watson's behaviorism cannot explain human actions without introspective notions of the mind. This genuine classic of social science hi our century remains relevant not just for the conduct of psychological research but for studies in the philosophy of science and the sociology of knowledge.

The Three Romes Moscow Constantinople and Rome

The Three Romes Moscow Constantinople and Rome

Moscow Constantinople (now Istanbul) and Rome itself are vitally alive in the present and are magnets for tourists. Also going back a long way each lives in history. These cities have their points in common each wanting to rule the world and establish Rome of the Caesars Constantinople of the Emperors and Moscow of the Tsars were also the Rome of St. Peter the Constantinople of the Patriarchs and the Moscow of the Orthodox Metropolitans. These were cities on earth that aspired to heaven kingdoms that succeeded each other as standard-bearers of Christianity from the fourth century on. Indeed the Russian monk declared to the Tsar: Two Romes have fallen but the third stands and a fourth shall never besh the kingdom of heaven on earth. People recognizing this link them together as the Three Romes. These cities differ though in their understanding of man's nature and business. The Three Romes are three places and also states of mind. Now with a new introduction which describes the contemporary significance to these cities this book will be assessable to the modern reader at all levels. This fascinating book weaves the past and present in a narrative that is sometimes harrowing always vivid and even at times amusing. Russell Fraser shows the reader each city as he himself saw it. He shuttles easily between today and yesterday between today's Central Committee and Ivan the Great between Turkish Istanbul and the golden Constantinople of Justinian between today's Roman politics and the splendid Caesars. Great historical events intellectual concerns and artistic riches define the three Romes. Fraser goes beyond the facades images and myths to lay bare the three great psychologies still vying for the mind of man. The Three Romes is an utterly original book a celebration of the past and an urbane guide to the present. | The Three Romes Moscow Constantinople and Rome
