Christianity and Sociological Theory Reclaiming the Promise

Christianity and Sociological Theory Reclaiming the Promise

This book offers a history of sociological theory from a Christian perspective tracing the origins of sociology from the beginnings of Western science as introduced by the Scholastics of the twelfth century which when combined with their emphasis on rationality led to the Enlightenment science of man—an emphasis that eventually resulted in sociology which combined empiricism and a Christian moral philosophy. With chapters focusing on the Scholastics the Enlightenment the rise of sociology in France Germany and the United States and the legacy of Positivism Christianity and Sociological Theory shows how the emphasis on moral philosophy was eventually lost as sociology rejected Christian underpinnings resulting in what can only be described as an extremely limited sociology. A rigorous exploration of the trajectory of the discipline from its Christian origins this volume reveals the potential that exists for sociology in an era of postmodern thought to reclaim its promise through a re-introduction of Christianity. | Christianity and Sociological Theory Reclaiming the Promise

Legitimizing Authority American Government and the Promise of Equality

Legitimizing Authority American Government and the Promise of Equality

Legitimizing Authority places the American state apparatus back in the foreground to rethink the development of the country’s government in the context of its unfulfilled promise of equality. The book argues that the tensions between calls for equality and the simultaneous tolerance of inequality have accompanied the rise of modern mass society and with it of liberal democracy. Vormann and Lammert emphasize that government has played and continues to play a decisive role in calibrating the relationship between the interior and the exterior of the nation moving between an extractive state a taxation state and a welfare state over time in order to expand social access and political participation inside the national community – while tolerating conditions that continue to belie the historical promise of equality. The authors draw on a range of literatures that transcend disciplinary boundaries to reveal how exploitative practices have been accepted. They conclude that the democratic crises of the present must be comprehended through understanding how legitimation was always maintained by a state apparatus active at multiple scales and in multiple policy fields. This interdisciplinary book is addressed to a broad audience across disciplines including political science political economy political history comparative politics international politics international relations American Political Development (APD) and cultural studies. | Legitimizing Authority American Government and the Promise of Equality

Voices of Innovation Fulfilling the Promise of Information Technology in Healthcare

Everyone talks innovation and we can all point to random examples of innovation inside of healthcare information technology but few repeatable processes exist that make innovation more routine than happenstance. How do you create and sustain a culture of innovation? What are the best practices you can refine and embed as part of your organization's DNA? What are the potential outcomes for robust healthcare transformation when we get this innovation mystery solved? Through timely essays from leading experts the first edition showcased the widely adopted healthcare innovation model from HIMSS and how providers could leverage to increase their velocity of digital transformation. Regardless of its promise innovation has been slow in healthcare. The second edition takes the critical lessons learned from the first edition expands and refreshes the content as a result of changes in the industry and the world. For example the pandemic really shifted things. Now providers are more ready and interested to innovate. In the past year alone significant disruptors (such as access to digital health) have entered the provider space threatening the existence of many hospitals and practices. This has served as a giant wake-up call that healthcare has shifted. And finally there is more emphasis today than before on the concept of patient and clinician experience. Perhaps hastened by the pandemic the race is on for innovations that will help address clinician burnout while better engaging patients and families. Loaded with numerous case studies and stories of successful innovation projects this book helps the reader understand how to leverage innovation to help fulfill the promise of healthcare information technology in enabling superior business and clinical outcomes. | Voices of Innovation Fulfilling the Promise of Information Technology in Healthcare

Democracy and Event The Promise and Perils of Catastrophe

Democracy and Event The Promise and Perils of Catastrophe

Catastrophes unsettle our safe places within the world. As such they provide an interesting site to analyze the intersection of our affective and political lives. Bringing radical democratic thinking affect theory psychoanalysis and discursive analysis to bear on contemporary catastrophic events Democracy and Event presents a fresh perspective on the study of affect and its impact on democratic sensibilities and practices. Situated in different countries with differing institutional histories and cultures – the Grenfell Tower fire in London England (2017); the SARS epidemic in Toronto Canada (2003); the Parkland shooting in Florida (2018); the early days of the COVID-19 crisis and the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis USA (2020) – Elaine Stavro interprets the rhetoric discourse and affective communication of politicians and passionate protestors. She examines their linkages to well-established organizations informed by democratic ideals as well as the context in which they arise which have a bearing on their ability to challenge neoliberal and authoritarian practices. Inspired by the urgent need to bring theory back to politics and politics back to theory Elaine Stavro demonstrates how theory might inform our attitudes to contemporary events while recognizing that political action and events cannot be captured in their complexity by theory. Her skillful engagement with various theoretical approaches read through the lens of catastrophic events will speak to a wide-ranging scholarly readership in numerous academic fields. | Democracy and Event The Promise and Perils of Catastrophe

The Real Chekhov An Introduction to Chekhov's Last Plays

The Real Chekhov An Introduction to Chekhov's Last Plays

What is Chekhov’s method of ensuring audience participation? What does his stage direction ‘through tears’ mean? What happens between the first and second acts of The Seagull? Is there any reason for the despondency in Chekhov’s drama? This book first published in 1972 discusses these questions and many other issues around Chekhov’s last four plays. David Magarshack the leading translator and biography of many of Russia’s greatest writers closely examines Chekhov’s work for the relevant facts about his writing and demonstrates that no reliance should be placed on the so-called subtext which can introduce all sorts of irrelevancies arising from pre-conceived ideas about the plays. A careful reading of Chekhov’s text itself is all that is needed to correct the familiar distortions of his characters and themes. | The Real Chekhov An Introduction to Chekhov's Last Plays

The Emperor Theophilos and the East 829–842 Court and Frontier in Byzantium during the Last Phase of Iconoclasm

The Emperor Theophilos and the East 829–842 Court and Frontier in Byzantium during the Last Phase of Iconoclasm

Modern historiography has become accustomed to portraying the emperor Theophilos of Byzantium (829-842) in a favourable light taking at face value the legendary account that makes of him a righteous and learned ruler and excusing as ill fortune his apparent military failures against the Muslims. The present book considers events of the period that are crucial to our understanding of the reign and argues for a more balanced assessment of it. The focus lies on the impact of Oriental politics on the reign of Theophilos the last iconoclast emperor. After introductory chapters setting out the context in which he came to power separate sections are devoted to the influence of Armenians at the court the enrolment of Persian rebels against the caliphate in the Byzantine army the continuous warfare with the Arabs and the cultural exchange with Baghdad the Khazar problem and the attitude of the Christian Melkites towards the iconoclast emperor. The final chapter reassesses the image of the emperor as a good ruler building on the conclusions of the previous sections. The book reinterprets major events of the period and their chronology and sets in a new light the role played by figures like Thomas the Slav Manuel the Armenian or the Persian Theophobos whose identity is established from a better understanding of the sources. | The Emperor Theophilos and the East 829–842 Court and Frontier in Byzantium during the Last Phase of Iconoclasm

Delivering on the Promise of High-Impact Practices Research and Models for Achieving Equity Fidelity Impact and Scale

Delivering on the Promise of High-Impact Practices Research and Models for Achieving Equity Fidelity Impact and Scale

Research shows that enriching learning experiences such as learning communities service-learning undergraduate research internships and senior culminating experiences – collectively known as High-Impact Practices (HIPs) – are positively associated with student engagement; deep and integrated learning; and personal and educational gains for all students – particularly for historically underserved students including first-generation students and racially minoritized populations. While HIPs’ potential benefits for student learning retention and graduation are recognized and are being increasingly integrated across higher education programs much of that potential remains unrealized; and their implementation frequently uneven. Colleges are eager to use the HIP nomenclature for recruitment promoting equity for traditionally underserved student populations and preparing lifelong learners and successful professionals. However HIPs defy easy categorization or standardized implementation. They rely on fidelity quality and consistency – being “done well” – to achieve their learning outcomes; and above all require attention to access and equity if they are to fulfill their promise of benefitting all student populations equally. The goal of Delivering on the Promise of High-Impact Practices is to provide examples from around the country of the ways educators are advancing equity promoting fidelity achieving scale and strengthening assessment of their own local high-impact practices. Its chapters bring together the best current scholarship methodologies and evidence-based practices within the HIPs field illustrating new approaches to faculty professional development culture and coalition building research and assessment and continuous improvement that help institutions understand and extend practices with a demonstrated high impact. For proponents and practitioners this book offers perspectives data and critiques to interrogate and improve practice. For administrators it provides an understanding of what’s needed to deliver the necessary support. | Delivering on the Promise of High-Impact Practices Research and Models for Achieving Equity Fidelity Impact and Scale

Development in Nigeria Promise on Hold?

Development in Nigeria Promise on Hold?

This book unravels the trajectories and dilemmas of development in Nigeria since its independence in 1960. Despite enormous human and material resources development progress in Nigeria has not met expectations. By delving into the various factors that have influenced development efforts and initiatives Development in Nigeria: Promise on Hold? aims to draw out lessons to help the country to achieve its potential. In many ways Nigeria typifies the African puzzle of near-misses a never-ending drive towards development with enormous promise but no real practical output. As in many states within Africa these failures can be traced to structural inadequacies and the perennial weakness of public institutions. Problems which collectively undermine sustainable development and growth include political corruption ethnicity failure of public institutions distributional injustice fiscal centralism in a purported federal state faulty democratic traditions malevolent elite class religious and social conflicts among others. By taking a comprehensive panoramic overview of the country’s historical experience as both a military dictatorship and democracy Edlyne Eze Anugwom presents a nuanced comprehensive and contemporary interrogation of the ever-dynamic forces and factors in Nigeria’s development project. This book’s incisive examination of Nigeria’s development aspirations over time will be of interest to students of Development and African Studies as well as to practitioners and multilateral agencies involved in development planning and intervention in Nigeria who are looking for strategies for overcoming the challenges facing the country. | Development in Nigeria Promise on Hold?

The Waste Fix Seizures of the Sacred from Upton Sinclair to the Sopranos

First published in 2002. This book explores the philosophical social and aesthetic implications of twentieth-century America's obsession with eliminating waste. Through interdisciplinary engagement with fiction and popular culture William Little traces the way this obsession finds expression in powerful social forces (e. g. the drive to consume conspicuously; the Progressive-era campaign to manage scientifically; the current demand to reduce reuse recycle) and shows how such forces are governed by an idealism that links proper treatment of waste with the promise of salvation. | The Waste Fix Seizures of the Sacred from Upton Sinclair to the Sopranos
