Martin Heidegger: Challenge to Education
Author: Steven Hodge
File Type: pdf
This book sets out to explore the challenge to education contained in Heideggers work. His direct remarks about education are examined and placed in the broader context of his philosophy to create an account of Heideggers challenge. Martin Heidegger is an undisputed giant of 20th Century thought. During his long academic career he made decisive contributions to philosophy, influencing a host of thinkers in the process including Arendt, Gadamer, Sartre, Merleau-Ponty, Derrida and Foucault. Heidegger inquired into the deepest levels of human being and its social, natural and technological contexts. Although he did not develop a systematic philosophy of education, his philosophical insights and occasional remarks about education make him an interesting and troubling figure for education. Heidegger is of interest to education for his contributions to our understanding of human being and its environment. Heideggers insights are troubling, too, for many of the assumptions of education. His critiques of humanism and the modern instrumental mindset in particular have significant implications. The work of scholars who have expanded on Heideggers remarks and those who have been influenced by his philosophy is also surveyed to fill out the examination. A vision of education emerges in which teachers and learners awaken to the deadening influences around them and become attuned to the openness of being.

Author: Bruce F. Berg
File Type: pdf
Most experts consider economic development to be the dominant factor influencing urban politics. They point to the importance of the finance and real estate industries, the need to improve the tax base, and the push to create jobs. Bruce F. Berg maintains that there are three forces which are equally important in New York City politicsullEconomic development.llThe citys relationships with the state and the federal governments, which influence taxation, revenue, and public policy responsibilities.llNew York Citys racial and ethnic diversity, resulting in calls for representation, recognition, and equity in the delivery of services.lulBergs focus is on all three forces, as well as the interplay among them.Along the way, Berg covers a range of topics, including the Dinkins, Giuliani, and Bloomberg administrations the battles over sports arenas party politics rising immigrant groups and the role of their leaders changes to the citys charter and New York City politics in the post-911 era.An engaging look at the complex nature of urban politics, this book is the only one of its kind to offer a comprehensive narrative of the challenges, frustrations, and successes of New Yorks governing institutions, and their prospects for meeting the citys long-term needs.About the AuthorBruce F. Berg chairs the political science department at Fordham University, where he is an associate professor.

ENERG

Author: Roland Dannreuther
File Type: epub
Many of the richest energy-producing regions of the world are wrought with conflict and billions of the worlds poorest suffer the daily insecurity of energy poverty. All the while our planet is increasingly under pressure because of our continued dependence on fossil fuels. It is easy to see why energy security has become one of the major global challenges of the twenty-first century. In this book, Roland Dannreuther offers a new and comprehensive approach to understanding energy security. Drawing on the latest research, he treats energy security as a value that is continually in dynamic conflict with other core values, such as economic prosperity and sustainability. The different physical properties of the key energy resources coal, oil, gas, nuclear and renewables are of course critical for the differing manifestations of energy insecurity. But it is the social, economic and political contexts, developed over time and place, which are essential for a fuller appreciation of contemporary energy challenges. In highlighting the history and politics of energy security and the critical role played by power and justice in framing these debates, this incisive and cutting-edge analysis is a go-to introduction for students grappling with the complexities of energy security today. **Review Dannreuthers elegant and comprehensive text captures the multifaceted nature and consequences of energy security. Its inclusion of transnational dimensions, as well as social justice and sustainability, is particularly laudable. A really rewarding read. Neil MacFarlane, University of Oxford In this book, Dannreuther critically examines the social, political, and strategic effects of energy security. It will be essential reading for anyone interested in the future of our planet. Fawaz A. Gerges, London School of Economics and Political Science About the Author Roland Dannreutheris Professor of International Relations at the University of Westminster.

REFOR
109120
Author: Eric M. Patashnik
File Type: pdf
Reforms at Risk is the first book to closely examine what happens to sweeping and seemingly successful policy reforms after they are passed. Most books focus on the politics of reform adoption, yet as Eric Patashnik shows here, the political struggle does not end when major reforms become enacted. Why do certain highly praised policy reforms endure while others are quietly reversed or eroded away?Patashnik peers into some of the most critical arenas of domestic-policy reform--including taxes, agricultural subsidies, airline deregulation, emissions trading, welfare state reform, and reform of government procurement--to identify the factors that enable reform measures to survive. He argues that the reforms that stick destroy an existing policy subsystem and reconfigure the political dynamic. Patashnik demonstrates that sustainable reforms create positive policy feedbacks, transform institutions, and often unleash the creative destructiveness of market forces.Reforms at Risk debunks the argument that reforms inevitably fail because Congress is prey to special interests, and the book provides a more realistic portrait of the possibilities and limits of positive change in American government. It is essential reading for scholars and practitioners of U.S. politics and public policy, offering practical lessons for anyone who wants to ensure that hard-fought reform victories survive.**

IMPER

Author: Francis Parker Yockey
File Type: mobi
Much has been said already about this unique and disturbing book, but this much is reasonably certain A thousand times more is yet to be said. Imperium is the first sequel the literary world knows to Spenglers monumental The Decline of the West. In fact, the author of Imperium does more than even Spengler attempted he defines and creates the pathology of Culture in all of its infinitely urgent importance, including the discipline of Cultural Vitalism. Imperium rejects the Nineteenth Century the parched fossils of its thought Marx, Freud and the scientific-technical world outlook its exhausted political nostrums the pluralistic state, liberalism, democracy, communism, internationalism all of which fail to satisfy the organically vital realities of politics. Imperium presents unique and almost esoteric political, social and historical definitions and explanations which shall become more widely known indeed, commonly understood if our West survives. **

Le recours a Iendettement exterieur et ladoption du libre-echange constituent a partir du XIXe siecle un facteur fondamental de la mise sous tutelle deconomies entieres par les puissances capitalistes. La Grece des annees 2010 est un exemple supplementaire dun pays et dun peuple prives de liberte sous le pretexte de rembourser une dette illegitime. Cette dictature de la dette nest pas ineluctable. En deux siecles, plusieurs Etats ont annule leurs dettes avec succes. Lauteur analyse les repudiations realisees par le Mexique, les Etats-Unis, Cuba, le Costa Rica et la Russie des soviets. Il met en lumiere et actualise la doctrine de la dette odieuse. Ce recit captivant donne les cles indispensables pour comprendre la mecanique implacable de la dette et levolution du monde capitaliste au cours des deux derniers siecles.

HUMAN
79736
Author: Jim Ife
File Type: pdf
This book argues that incorporating the idea of three generations of human rights allows us to move beyond the limitations of conventional legal frameworks. It examines current human rights issues and shows how a broader understanding of human rights can be used to ground a form of practice that is central to social work, community development and broader human services. The argument extends the idea of human rights beyond the realm of theoretical analysis, and into the arena of professional practice and social action, using a critical theory perspective. This is set within the context of current debates about globalisation and the need to incorporate an internationalist viewpoint into all social work practice. This insightful new international study adds a vital new perspective to the challenge of promoting international human rights.

The relationship of humans to computers can no longer be represented as one person in a chair and one computer on a desk. Today computing finds its way into our pockets, our cars, our appliances it is ubiquitous -- an inescapable part of our everyday lives. Computing is even expanding beyond our devices sensors, microcontrollers, and actuators are increasingly embedded into the built environment. In Architectural Robotics, Keith Evan Green looks toward the next frontier in computing interactive, partly intelligent, meticulously designed physical environments. Green examines how these architectural robotic systems will support and augment us at work, school, and home, as we roam, interconnect, and age.Green tells the stories of three projects from his research lab that exemplify the reconfigurable, distributed, and transfigurable environments of architectural robotics. The Animated Work Environment is a robotic work environment of shape-shifting physical space that responds dynamically to the working life of the people within it home+ is a suite of networked, distributed robotic furnishings integrated into existing domestic and healthcare environments and LIT ROOM offers a simulated environment in which the physical space of a room merges with the imaginary space of a book, becoming a portal to elsewhere.How far beyond workstations, furniture, and rooms can the environments of architectural robotics stretch? Green imagines scaled-up neighborhoods, villages, and metropolises composed of physical bits, digital bytes, living things, and their hybrids. Not global but local, architectural robotics grounds computing in a capacious cyber-physical home. **
