Assembling and Governing Habits

Assembling and Governing Habits

The increasing significance of managing or changing habits is evident across a range of pressing contemporary issues: climate change waste management travel practices and crowd control. Assembling and Governing Habits engages with the diverse ways in which habits are governed through the knowledge practices and technologies that have been brought to bear on them. The volume addresses three main concerns. The first focuses on how the habit discourses proposed by a range of disciplines have informed the ways in which different forms of expertise have shaped the ways in which habits have been managed or changed to bring about specific social objectives. The second concerns the ways in which habits are acted on as aspects of infrastructures which constitute the interfaces through which technical systems human conducts and environments are acted on simultaneously. The third concerns the specific ways in which habit discourses and habit infrastructures are brought together in the regulation of ‘city habits’: that is habits which have specific qualities arising out of the specific conditions – the rhythms and densities – of urban life and ones which in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic have been profoundly disrupted. Written in a clear and direct style the book will appeal to students and scholars with an interest in cultural studies sociology cultural geography history of the sciences and posthuman studies.

Habits of Success: Getting Every Student Learning

Habits of Success: Getting Every Student Learning

For students to benefit from lessons they must attend listen and try their best. But at times almost all teachers struggle to manage classroom behaviour and to motivate students to learn. Drawing on decades of research on behavioural science this book offers teachers practical strategies to get students learning. The key is students’ habits. This book reveals simple yet powerful ways to help students build habits of success. Harry Fletcher-Wood shows how teachers can use behavioural science techniques to increase motivation and improve behaviour. He offers clear guidance on topics such as using role models to motivate students making detailed plans to help students act and building habits to ensure students keep going. The book addresses five challenges teachers face in encouraging desirable behaviour: Choosing what change to prioritise Convincing students to change Encouraging students to commit to a plan Making starting easy Ensuring students keep going Workshops checklists and real-life examples illustrate how these ideas work in the classroom and make the book a resource to revisit and share. Distilling the evidence into clear principles this innovative book is a valuable resource for new and experienced teachers alike. | Habits of Success: Getting Every Student Learning

A Natural History of the Brown Mouse Lemur

A Natural History of the Brown Mouse Lemur

This text can be used for any undergraduate or graduate course with a primate behavior or primate ecology component. It can also be used as supplemental reading for any advanced animal behavior class. There are very few books that address the biology of nocturnal primates. There are even fewer that delve with any detail regarding the behavior of specific species. These animals are difficult to follow. Their diminutive size the thickness of the vegetation and their nocturnal habits make the study of their habits a demanding task. Through a trial of patience Sylvia Atsalis has undertaken this task. Here she provides an in depth view at the life and behavioral patterns of these tiny primates. A Natural History of the Brown Mouse Lemur provides the most complete look at the behavior and ecology of mouse lemurs.

Nuclear Theory Degree Zero: Essays Against the Nuclear Android

Nuclear Theory Degree Zero: Essays Against the Nuclear Android

Nuclear Theory Degree Zero: Essays Against the Nuclear Android investigates the threat conveyed and maintained by the nuclear cycle: mining research health power generation and weaponry. Central to this polyvalent 'report' on the infiltration of our lives and control over them exerted by the industrial-military complex are critiques of the creation storage and use of atomic weapons the exploitation of Australian Aboriginal people and their lands through British atomic testing in the 1950s and an exposé of a language of denial in the world of nuclear mining/energy/military usages. 'Nuclear' is also parenthetically investigated in its function as extended metaphor and question for poetry and poetics. Key is a consideration of the use of the language of the 'atomic' in cultural spaces and in 'the arts'. Indigenous land-rights claims in the face of uranium mining the semantics of waste and of the glib usage by nuclear power companies of the fact of global warming to suit their own corrosive agendas. The triumphalism of scientific and cultural discourse around 'nuclear' and the threats by nuclear fission are by association brought into question. The nuclear cycle throws the whole future of human beings into doubt and this book seeks to assemble new resources of resistance through creative and critical mediums including poetry and poetics. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Angelaki.
