God and the Book of Nature Experiments in Theology of Science

God and the Book of Nature Experiments in Theology of Science

God and the Book of Nature develops theological views of the natural sciences in light of the recent theological turn in science-and-religion scholarship and the ‘science-engaged theology’ movement. Centered around the Book of Nature metaphor it brings together contributions by theologians natural scientists and philosophers based in Europe and North America. They provide an exploration of complementary (and even contesting) readings of the Book of Nature particularly in light of the vexing questions that arise around essentialism and unity in the field of science and religion. Taking an experimental and open-ended approach the volume does not attempt to unify the readings into a single ‘plot’ that defines the Book of Nature still less a single ‘theology of nature’ but instead it represents a variety of hermeneutical stances. Overall the book embraces a constructive theological attitude toward the modern sciences and makes significant contributions to the research literature in science and religion. | God and the Book of Nature Experiments in Theology of Science

Physical Appearance Stigma and Social Behavior The Ontario Symposium Volume 3

Physical Appearance Stigma and Social Behavior The Ontario Symposium Volume 3

Originally published in 1986 this book grew out of a symposium held in 1981 at the University of Toronto on physical appearance as a determinant of personality and social behavior. There is little doubt that one’s appearance has some impact on the way one is perceived and treated; and presumably owing to the socially reflected nature of the self one’s personality likewise will be affected by one’s appearance. The questions arising from these basic observations and assumptions are many and the expert contributors were invited to discuss their research on some of the implications of individual differences in appearance as they ramify into personality and social interaction. The chapters in this volume are the outcome of those discussions and cover the areas of facial attractiveness; physique; impact on social behavior and deviance. Still a topic of interest to this day this book can now be read and enjoyed in its historical context. | Physical Appearance Stigma and Social Behavior The Ontario Symposium Volume 3

The Evolution of Religion and Morality Volume II

The Evolution of Religion and Morality Volume II

This volume draws on a unique dataset to answer pressing questions about human religiosity. Building upon the first volume in this series it presents results from the second phase of the Evolution of Religion and Morality (ERM) project. The second volume investigates key questions in the evolutionary and cognitive sciences of religion and highlights cultural variability and context specificity of diverse religious systems. Chapters draw on a dataset comprising 2 228 participants from 15 ethnographically diverse societies that stretch from Africa and India through Oceania to South America and include hunter-gatherers pastoralists horticulturalists subsistence farmers and wage laborers. Four chapters using the full dataset answer the following questions: What are the general predictors of commitment to supernatural agents? Is there a gender gap in religiosity? Does belief in punitive gods facilitates cooperation? Are supernatural agents implicitly associated with moral concerns? Chapters from individual field sites further explore the distinction between moralizing and local gods the potentially disruptive role of belief in local gods on cooperation with anonymous co-religionists and the relationship between belief in moralizing gods cooperation and differential access to material resources. Above these empirical studies the book also includes an informed discussion with specialists on the challenges of running such a large cross-cultural project and gives concrete recommendations for future projects. The Evolution of Religion and Morality: Volume II will be a key resource for scholars and researchers of religious studies human evolutionary biology psychology anthropology the cultural evolution of religion and the sociology of religion. This book was originally published as a special issue of Religion Brain & Behavior. | The Evolution of Religion and Morality Volume II

Early Framers of Tourism Knowledge Volume II

Early Framers of Tourism Knowledge Volume II

This book emphasises the work the remarkable contributions and the lifetime achievements of internationally respected scholars who have made lifelong contribution to advancing tourism studies and the dissemination of tourism–based knowledge and education across the world. Strengthening a field and its ability to form the own traditions is undoubtedly possible with a bridge to be established between the past present and future. The capacity of research carried out today and in the future is built on the outputs of education and research completed in the past adding new links to the chain. The history of tourism studies and education dates to the early years of the 20th century and began recording a momentum in its second half. There is therefore a lot more to do in terms of the institutionalization of such a young and dynamic field and this book aims to introduce tourism scholars with their widest geographical representation dating from the first years of tourism research back in the early 1900s. Volume II of IV includes tributes to 20 scholars who have defined tourism as an object of academic study established its foundations and organisations and widened its scope to encompass thousands of empirical studies. Each of these volumes contains different profiles thereby bringing 80 of the pioneers in tourism more vividly to life. This book was originally published as a special issue of Anatolia: An International Journal of Tourism & Hospitality Research. | Early Framers of Tourism Knowledge Volume II

The Experimental Book Object Materiality Media Design

The Experimental Book Object Materiality Media Design

The Experimental Book Object shows why and how books matter in the 21st century. Digital and audio platforms are commonplace and other fields of art beyond literature have increasingly embraced books and publication as their medium of choice. Nevertheless the manifold book object persists and continues to inspire various types of experimentation. This volume sets forth an unprecedented approach where literary and media theory are entangled with design practitioners’ artistic research and process descriptions. By probing the paradigm of the codex this collection of essays focuses on historical and contemporary experimentation that has challenged what books are and could be from the perspectives of materiality mediation and visual and typographic design. Investigations into less-studied areas and cases of performativity demonstrate what experimental books do by interacting with their systemic and cultural environments. The volume offers a multifaceted and multidisciplinary view of the book object the book design and publishing processes and their significance in the digital age. | The Experimental Book Object Materiality Media Design

The Evolution of Religion and Morality Volume I

The Evolution of Religion and Morality Volume I

This volume assesses the role of religion in cooperation and prosocial behaviour using ethnographic and experimental methods across eight different field sites. The first of two volumes presents results from the first phase of the Evolution of Religion and Morality (ERM) Project. Using a unique combination of both experimental and ethnographic methods the ERM project addresses pressing questions from the burgeoning cultural evolutionary sciences of religion: What is the relationship between religious beliefs and cooperation? When people are committed to punitive knowledgeable and morally concerned gods are they more inclined to behave prosocially towards others? How far does this prosociality extend? Do important individual and contextual factors mediate this relationship? In addition to an omnibus report this book offers seven site-specific reports that contextualize experimental and ethnographic data collected around the world. Collecting data from communities as diverse as the Hadza of Tanzania villagers from two communities on Tanna Island Vanuatu residents of Marajó Brazil Fijians from Yasawa and Lovu Tyvans from southern Siberia and Mauritians this ground-breaking work sets a new standard in the scientific study of religion. The Evolution of Religion and Morality: Volume I will be a key resource for scholars and researchers of religious studies human evolutionary biology psychology anthropology the cultural evolution of religion and the sociology of religion.
