Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. This practical introduction for first time researchers provides a bridge between how to conduct research and the philosophy of social science, allowing students to relate what they are doing to why. It does not provide a set of rigid recipes for social scientists as many methodology books do, rather it stimulates students to think about the issues involved when deciding upon their research design. By discussing standard approaches to research design and method in various social science disciplines, the authors illustrate why particular designs have traditionally predominated in certain areas of study. But whilst they acknowledge the strengths of these standard approaches, their emphasis is on helping researchers find the most effective solution to their problem by encouraging them, through this familiarity with the principles of various approaches, to innovate where appropriate. This text will prove indispensable for social science students of all levels embarking upon a research project, and for experienced researchers looking for a fresh perspective on their object of study.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Coming to prominence with the nineteenth-century novel, literary realism has most often been associated with the insistence that art cannot turn away from the more sordid and harsh aspects of human existence. However, because realism is unavoidably tied up with the gnarly concept of 'reality' and 'the real', it has been one of the most widely debated terms in the New Critical Idiom series. This volume offers a clear, reader-friendly guide to debates around realism, examining: *ideas of realism in nineteenth-century French and British fiction *the twentieth-century formalist reaction against literature's status as 'truth' *realism as a democratic tool, or utopian form. This volume is vital reading for any student of literature, in particular those working on the realist novel. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. What is a narrative? What is narrative fiction? How does it differ from other kinds of narrative? What featuers turn a discourse into a narrative text? Now widely acknowledged as one of the most significant volumes in its field, Narrative Fiction turns its attention to these and other questions. In contrast to many other studies, Narrative Fiction is organized arround issues - such as events, time, focalization, characterization, narration, the text and its reading - rather than individual theorists or approaches. Within this structure, Shlomith Rimmon-Kenan addresses key approaches to narrative fiction, including New Criticism, formlaism, structuralism and phenomenology, but also offers views of the modifications to these theroies. While presenting an analysis of the system governing all fictional narratives, whether in the form of novel, short story or narrative poem, she also suggests how individual narratives can be studied against the background of this general system. A broad range of literary examples illustrate key aspects of the study. This edition is brought fully up-to-date with an invaluable new chapter, reflecting on recent developments in narratology. Readers are also directed to key recent works in the field. These additions to a classic text ensure that Narrative Fiction will remain the ideal starting point for anyone new to narrative theory.

This includes formal occasions such as meetings and presentations, and less formal interactions involving two people or more. The author's research suggests that many people repeat favourite behaviour patterns simply because they "come naturally" rather than because they are appropriate or effective. This book offers a way of identifying and classifying particular behaviours. What we do and say affects other people - or, as Dr.Honey puts it, behaviour breeds behaviour. With examples and case studies based on familiar business situations, he shows how to make behaviour - both spoken and non-verbal - a conscious process that can be harnessed and used to help ourselves and the people with whom we work.

Designed to stimulate interest in a fascinating and important topic, Family and Kinship in England, 1450-1800 offers an important and timely synthesis of the various arguments and provides answers to the questions they raise. While historians have made the history of family life in the past a key area of scholarly study, the diversity of methods, sources, areas of interest and conclusions this has produced, have made it one of the most difficult for readers to approach. The aim of this book is to provide a guide to understanding families in the past. It also gives a clear introduction to many of the intriguing areas of study that this field of history has opened up, including childhood, youth, marriage, sexuality and death.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Anti-social behaviour has become a major political preoccupation of government and combating it is now a major plank of criminal justice policy. Yet anti-social behaviour as a concept has been little studied, and the notion has often been accepted uncritically. This book aims to meet this need, providing a critique of the government's use of the concept of anti-social behaviour and of youth justice strategy more generally. Rougher Justice foregrounds the perspectives and experiences of young people themselves. It draws upon recent developments within the field of cultural criminology to provide an alternative interpretation of the construction of 'youthful criminal careers'. It is underpinned by research in three separate areas which focus on the new youth justice, youthful criminal careers, and anti-social behaviour and acceptable behaviour enforcement. Central to the book is an ambition to understand youthful delinquency from the inside and to recover what is lost in much of New Labour's youth justice strategy --and the methods adopted by the Youth Justice Board to evaluate this strategy, that is to say a situated and interpretive understanding of youthful delinquency drawn from the perspective of and in the voices of young people themselves.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In the early 1920s most of Europe's twenty-eight states could be described as parliamentary democracies. By the end of 1938 no fewer than sixteen of these democracies had succumbed to dictatorships, while by 1941 only five remained intact. Stephen Lee examines the circumstances and leaders responsible for this dramatic turn of events. He describes the course of dictatorship in Europe before and during World War II, concentrating in particular on Russia, Italy and Germany, but also covering Spain, Portugal and the states of Central and Eastern Europe. He scrutinizes the intriguing phenomenon of dictatorship itself, and the widely differing forms it can take. Throughout this book, Stephen Lee's intention is to go beyond the spectacular and horrifying events of the era to provide explanation and balanced interpretation. He succeeds brilliantly in this, displaying to the full his ability to combine a clear, readable narrative with incisive comment. Wherever conflicting opinions exist he presents the evidence and outlines the controversy so that readers can reach their own conclusions in an informed way.
