Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - International Perspectives on Women provides an interdisciplinary examination of the local and global impacts of the institutionalization of gender roles, class, race, religion, and nationality in social, economic and political policies. This anthology explores how these factors differentiate the life experiences of women. It also examines the negative impacts of such policies on gender relations, environmental health, and economic development, in addition to discussing the mechanisms used to counteract such policies. Readers will learn how gendered perspectives are integrated into economics, politics, and global processes. Selections in International Perspectives on Women are organized into three major thematic sections: Part One of the book reviews the origins and constructions of gender roles, class and race, among other factors; Part Two offers a critique of Western feminisms in their universality; and Part Three addresses economic reforms advocated by the international financial institutions and the resultant of feminization and informalization of labor.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Exploratory Musicism: Ideas for Spontaneous Composition examines both music and musical composition, and the characteristics they share with science, mathematics and the natural world. Written for upper-division and graduate courses, the book shows students that music is part of an interdisciplinary collection of artistic modes of expression, and that these modes can be better understood in the context of what we observe in the real world. Using the book as a tool for extending the concept of music composition, students will discover new ways to connect music to more universal and organic constructions. As the rings of Saturn share similarities with how sound is organized, so does organic cell composition share similarities with music. As the mathematical Fibonacci sequence correlates to nature, so too can music be correlated to nature. In this book the way music is composed in real time (spontaneous composition) and music itself, are presented in a greater context. Exploratory Musicism leads students to the understanding that creativity is a vehicle through which we explore the evolution and interconnectedness of phenomena in our universe.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - An Integrative Approach to Human Geography is a compendium of geographic topics that attempts to give readers an understanding of common themes in social science literature that concerns geographers. Combining essays selected from geographers and non-geographers, this anthology illustrates the presence of geography in texts and manuscripts that people often label as non-geographic. This approach helps social science students identify geography where it is often believed to be absent, and it encourages non-geographers to realize that they can contribute their talents to the richness of geographic knowledge. Instead of following a normative approach, An Integrative Approach to Human Geography encourages those outside the discipline to see the 'geographic' within their own fields of expertise. This text highlights a coalescence in the social sciences under the banner of geographic literacy. Jose Javier Lopez is Professor of Geography at Minnesota State University in Mankato.
