Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Vincent F. Hendricks s Sucker Nation asks the questions Why do intelligent, informed people continue to participate in systems they privately distrust and Why does exploitation persist even when manipulation is widely recognized This timely book argues that the answer lies in a structural hustler/sucker distinction not a matter of intelligence or morality, but of epistemic asymmetry and failed common knowledge. Drawing on game theory, epistemic logic, and the philosophy of attention, it shows how rational agents can become trapped in equilibria where acting reasonably still means paying a price, i.e. trading wits for vanity.From financial markets and crypto bubbles to political communication, online scams, and platform society, agency itself becomes the resource that others extract. This book shows that to act, one must be visible; to be visible is to be exploitable. Insight does not dissolve this condition it clarifies it. What remains is a tragic form of agency: damaged, unavoidable, and still necessary. A must-read for all those who have online lives that means all of us 192 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Business is at a sustainability crossroads. There is pressure from some shareholders and elected politicians to dial back on environmental and social issues, sustainability being 'too woke' and a constraint on economic growth. However, there are competing pressures that mean that these same issues are now increasingly material to the bottom line; businesses ignore them at their peril as they threaten the true longer-term value of the company.This book sets out the case for the 'Sustainability of Sustainability'. There is compelling evidence from underlying trends in finance, trade and technology that shows that there is a sustainability bedrock, beyond which it cannot be pushed back. That bedrock is not too deep, and so a course correction is coming. Businesses should be investing now in core sustainability to be ready for the new, more durable sustainability to come.Morrison argues that while sustainability is already perceived by many as an orthodoxy, it has yet to secure the legitimacy and trust required to deliver real and lasting change.The book is for anyone who is curious about why. when and how sustainability will re-emerge and how best to prepare for its homecoming. There is a big opportunity: we will lose a lot of the fluff, green-washing, and noise and build a stronger and more meaningful version of sustainability as we do. The book helps any business manager, policy-maker or community leader find their sustainability bedrock and to build upon solid foundations. 341 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This open access book offers an elaboration on foodways as both a geographical concept and an area of study that recognizes local food systems as essential to social justice and long-term sustainability. Approaching food through the lens of foodways provides an alternative to classical scholarship on food security, which often focuses on poverty in order to propose new globalized solutions. Instead, this perspective directs research toward the preservation of cultural and biological diversity, the protection of land rights, and the promotion of social justice.With a specific focus on the MENA region, contributors to this edited collection engage with reflexive and collaborative methodologies, including participatory visual methods, storytelling, radical learning, land-based and socially rooted knowledges, embodied practices, visceral methods, and community mapping. Such approaches can help negotiate outsider insider tensions while co-producing knowledge that is accountable to communities and relevant to wider societal debates. 159 pp. Englisch. …

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This open access book andexamines how far-right dog whistles fuel real-world colonial violence in Settler America. Contemporary attacks like the El Paso Walmart and Buffalo Tops shootings are not isolated acts of extremism they are direct extensions of an ongoing settler colonial logic, echoing historical massacres like Sand Creek in their targeting of Indigenous, Black, and other racialized communities.These contemporary acts are distinct: individuals move from coded signal to violence with little to no rational deliberation in between. Far-right media and rhetoric have become sophisticated emotional activation systems, bypassing reason entirely. Therefore, dog whistles operate on multiple registers simultaneously triggering immediate reactions of fear, anger, and disgust while also tapping into a deeper, longer-simmering sense of grievance embedded in settler culture.The result is a media and rhetorical landscape where coded language activates violent political upheaval, manufacturing division, justifying elimination, and mobilizing violence all while maintaining a veneer of plausible deniability. This book offers an urgent framework for understanding how that signaling operates, why it is so effective, and what it means for how we study political communication, media, and the ongoing project of settler colonialism in America. 129 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book examines apparently dichotomous aspects of Gaskell s short stories: her failed fathers and her travel writing. The analysis links these themes by examining the ways in which Gaskell used a complex mix of unstable cultural ideas to demonstrate the fragility of home and family life and to challenge gendered norms.The analysis of Gaskell s fictional fathers is considered in the context of nineteenth-century debates about the role of fathers within the home. Fathers in Gaskell s stories are presented as a disruptive force, breaking rather than creating a stable, secure family environment. Their behaviour becomes a motivator for travel as an escape from home. Travel also posed a transgressive challenge to the domestic environment and to gendered norms. Women travel writers were particularly vulnerable to accusations of exaggeration and falsehood. By incorporating themes of travel into her fiction, Gaskell was able to produce texts that are arguably richer than more straightforward travel accounts. In the texts discussed, Gaskell explores the ways in which travel, whether undertaken willingly or reluctantly, requires women to negotiate a physical, geographical and emotional space.The short stories examined in this book illustrate Gaskell s narrative hybridity and the ways in which her creative synthesis allows her to subtly challenge existing social and cultural hegemonies. Above all, the texts show her consistent resistance to patriarchal control and her commitment to a more equal and fluid society centred on home and the family. 129 pp. Englisch.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book responds to changing views of the disinformation crisis, seeking to complement data-based approaches with a concentrated focus on narrative and story. Social media have given a new dimension to public involvement in these, but television and cinema lead the way. If lies and disinformation are the arsenal in a propaganda war, story and dramatization are the weaponry, and gaining advantage is all about the design and impact of the weapons. Twisted plot lines, arcs of suspense, motivated actors: these have so much more destructive power against human intelligence than specific falsehoods. The chapters focus on prominent narrative influences in the political arena, illustrating how the dynamics of public communication draw on traditions of fantasy, myth, plotting, performance and dramaturgy. Attention is paid to the ideologies and theoretical paradigms that underpin these imaginative constructions and drive them towards electoral goals. In the geopolitical maelstrom of the 21st century, we are citizens of the world in a new way, and our opinions, collectively, count. Sharper awareness of why and how we participate in the spread of imaginative manipulation is urgently needed. 105 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This open access book provides recent trends of urbanization and inequality in Africa and Asia. It addresses the inequality challenges of urbanization and large-scale rural-to-urban migration. It answers questions around socio-economic and spatial inequalities and how serious those are in cities in Africa and Asia under 21st-century urbanization. Chapters demonstrate how the old neighborhood division in cities based on race, ethnicity, religion, apartheid, tribes, caste and migrant are replaced by social class through sorting in the housing market. The analyses go beyond the normal income inequality consideration and take a broader perspective on inequality by considering these issues at the neighborhood level to reveal the new spatial divisions in cities. As such, it is essential reading for academics and students in urban studies, sociology, geography, planning, and policymakers working on urban development around the world. 238 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This book is open access.The idea that automation, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics might lead to a utopian future for humanity is a powerful one both in mainstream and radical discourse. The paradigm of Industry 4.0 where digital manufacturing enables the seamless production of goods (and services) and lights out factories where machines and robots effortlessly produce for our future needs and wants are powerful drivers of a capitalist, free market cybertopia. For some radicals, technology and automation produce the conditions for a Fully Automated Luxury Communism, drawing on an interpretation of Marx, where human work would be replaced by a life of leisure and abundance for all. For others, an earlier discourse cybernetics - and the use of AI and social media in communication and co-ordination enable forms of radical organization through anarchist cybernetics . This book questions that technological optimism particularly cybernetics, automation and AI through a critique of these technologies and organizational forms. Cybernetics and corresponding technologies and forms (particularly Industry 4.0) can never capture human forms of creativity and working practices. Furthermore, there are similar problems with the cybernetic paradigm as a radical form of organization or social movement in terms of human autonomy, creativity, desire and social prefiguration. As counterpoint the book shows, through empirical evidence and drawing on interviews with workers or activists in a variety of organizational forms, that tacit knowledge and autonomous and spontaneous human projects (what the authors define as hobbying ) are critical in the physical act of making and co-operating. 193 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This open access book offers a comprehensive review of the deinstitutionalisation process in the Nordic countries and its long-term developments from 1960 to 2020. Challenging the popular idea of deinstitutionalisation as a mission accomplished in this region, it heralds discussion about how the relocation process has unfolded and what consequences it has had for people with intellectual disabilities in practice. It presents a compelling narrative of the history and the current status of services for people who moved out of institutions to live in the community and discusses to what extent the intentions have been achieved.Retracing the conceptualisation of normalisation in the 1960s and the new wave of deinstitutionalisation in Norway and Sweden in the 1980s and 1990s, this collection discusses how dismantling of institutions came to the forefront of the political agenda. It scrutinises the drivers of change in policies and practices for persons with intellectual disabilities, exploring changing ideologies, political goals, and service developments in the context of more general policy developments in the Nordic region. Leading experts in the field unveil the complex dynamics between ideologies, policies, practices, and contexts to challenge and reconsider lessons learned in the past fifty years from the Nordic experience. A must read for students and researchers interested in disability studies, intellectual disability, social policy, social work, special care nursing, rehabilitation, as well as professionals, policymakers and stakeholders. 276 pp. Englisch.…
