Описание: Sociological Theory in the Classical Era, Fourth Edition is an innovative text/reader for courses in classical theory. It introduces you to important original works by sociology′s key classical theorists while providing a thorough framework for understanding these challenging readings. For each theorist, the editors supply a biographical sketch, discuss intellectual influences and core ideas, and offer contemporary applications of those ideas. In addition to the seven major theorists covered, the book also connects their work to Significant Others--writers and thinkers who may have derived much of their own perspectives from Marx, Durkheim, Weber, Gilman, Simmel, Du Bois, and Mead.
Описание: Classical and Contemporary Sociological Theory: Text and Readings provides you with the best of both worlds--carefully-edited excerpts from the original works of sociology′s key theorists accompanied by an analytical framework that discusses the lives, ideas, and historical circumstances of each theorist. This unique format enables you to examine, compare, and contrast each theorist's major themes and concepts. In the Fourth Edition of this bestseller, examples from contemporary life and a rich variety of updated pedagogical tools (tables, figures, photographs, discussion questions, ) illuminate complex ideas.

Описание: Ignoring both his brilliant sister`s objections and his late father`s warning, a young inventor sells the rights to produce his unique tsunami protection system to a corporate giant specializing in virtual reality and robotics, and quickly discovers that his altruistic creation might not become the saving grace he intended it to be. As an insidious hidden agenda is revealed, the edges of reality begin to twist and blur for the siblings, and they suddenly find themselves in a place where nothing, nothing at all, is what it seems.
Описание: This book is fantastic. This is a must-read for designers who want to fulfill their potential -- treated equally to their peers in technology and business -- and ultimately secure a seat at the table with business managers and developers. If you're a designer who thinks getting ahead means you have to go back to school for an MBA, read this book first. Pulling from agile methods in design, Fish and Kiekbusch provide a concrete step-by-step product vision process. The book proves while correcting lack of business acumen is important, vision is the designer's way forward. It's essentially a playbook that sets the stage towards successful product validation--outlining a workflow for any designer who wishes to 'level up' from being a tactical designer to a strategic designer. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in design leadership.
