The Social Science Wars have precipitated a renewed interest in the character, purpose and methods of social science. Positivists and naturalists are criticized by interpretivists and critical theorists, while quantitative researchers are challenged by those who favour qualitative and ethnographic techniques. In turn, mainstream social scientists have responded with a vigorous defence and restatement of their commitments. Logics of Critical Explanation in Social and Political Theory proposes a novel approach to practising social and political analysis based on the role of logics. The authors articulate a distinctive perspective on social science explanation that avoids the problems of scientism and subjectivism by steering a careful course between lawlike explanations and thick descriptions. Drawing upon hermeneutics, poststructuralism, psychoanalysis, and post-analytical philosophy, this new approach offers a particular set of logics – social, political and fantasmatic – with which to construct critical explanations of practices and regimes.While the first part of the book critically engages with lawlike, interpretivist and causal approaches to critical explanation, the second part elaborates an alternative grammar of concepts informed by an ontological stance rooted in poststructuralist theory. In developing this approach, a number of empirical cases are included to illustrate its basic concepts and logics, ranging from the apartheid regime in South Africa to recent changes in higher education. The book will be a valuable tool for scholars and researchers in a variety of related fields of study in the social sciences, especially the disciplines of political science and political theory, international relations, social theory, cultural studies, anthropology and philosophy.

This dynamic book considers whether and how themanagement of records (and archives) differs from the management of information(and data). Can archives and records management still make adistinctive contribution in the 21st century, or are they now being dissolvedinto a wider world of information governance? What should be ourconceptual understanding of records in the digital era? What are the practicalimplications of the information revolution for the work of archivists andrecords managers? Geoffrey Yeo, a distinguished expert in the globalfield, explores concepts of 'records' and 'archives' and sets today'srecord-keeping and archival practices in their historical context. Heexamines changing perceptions of the nature and purpose of records managementand archival work, notions of convergence among information-relateddisciplines, and archivists' and records managers' attitudes to information andits governance. Starting with Peter Morville's dictum that 'when we tryto define information, we become lost in a hall of mirrors', Yeo considersdifferent understandings of the concept of 'information' and theirapplicability to the field of archives and records management. He alsolooks at the world of data science and data administration, and asks whetherand how far recent work in this area can enhance our knowledge of how recordsfunction and how they relate to the information universe. Key topics covered include: The keeping ofrecords: a brief historical overview Thinking aboutrecords and archives: the transition to the digital Archivists,records managers and the allure of information Finding a waythrough the hall of mirrors: concepts of information Records anddata Why records arenot (just) information; understanding records in the digital era. This thought provoking and timely book is primarilyintended for records managers and archivists, but should also be of interest toprofessionals in a range of information-related disciplines. In addressing theplace of record-keeping in contemporary information culture, it aims toprovide a balance of theory and practice that will appeal to practitioners aswell as students and academics around the world. 010

Humans Of The Advanced World Are The Most Violent Beings Of All Times. This Violence Is Evident In The Conditions Of Perpetual Warfare And The Accumulation Of The Most Powerful And Destructive Arsenal Ever Known To Humankind. It Is Also Evident In The Devastating Impact Of Advanced World Economy And Cultural Practices Which Have Led To Ecological Devastation And The Current Era Of Mass Species Extinction. -one Of Only Six Mass Extinction Events In Planetary History And The Only One Caused By The Actions Of A Single Species, Humans. This Violence Is Manifest In Our Interpersonal Relationships, And The Ways In Which We Organize Ourselves Through Hierarchical Systems That Ensure The Wealth And Privilege Of Some, Against The Penury And Misery Of Others. In This New And Highly Original Book, Jeff Lewis Argues That Violence Is Deeply Inscribed In Human Culture, Thinking And Expressive Systems (media). Lewis Contends That Violence Is Not An Inescapable Feature Of An Aggressive Human Nature. Rather, Violence Is Laced Through Our Desires And Dispositions To Communalism And Expressive Interaction. From The Near Extinction Of All Homo Sapiens, Around 74,000 Years Ago, The Invention Of Culture And Media Enabled Humans To Imagine And Articulate Particular Choices And Pleasures. Organized Intergroup Violence Or Warfare Emerged Through The Exercise Of These Choices And Their Expression Through Larger And Increasingly Complex Human Societies. This Agitation Of Amplified Desire, Hierarchical Social Organization And Mediated Knowledge Systems Has Created A Cultural Volition Of Violent Complexity Which Continues Into The Present. Media, Culture And Human Violence Examines The Current Conditions Of Conflict And Harm As An Expression Of Our Violent Complexity. -- Provided By Publisher.

This text starts by explaining the fundamental goal of good political science research—the ability to answer interesting and important questions by generating valid inferences about political phenomena. Before the text even discusses the process of developing a research question, the authors introduce the reader to what it means to make an inference and the different challenges that social scientists face when confronting this task. Only with this ultimate goal in mind will students be able to ask appropriate questions, conduct fruitful literature reviews, select and execute the proper research design, and critically evaluate the work of others. The authors' primary goal is to teach students to critically evaluate their own research designs and others’ and analyze the extent to which they overcome the classic challenges to making inference: internal and external validity concerns, omitted variable bias, endogeneity, measurement, sampling, and case selection errors, and poor research questions or theory. As such, students will not only be better able to conduct political science research, but they will also be more savvy consumers of the constant flow of causal assertions that they confront in scholarship, in the media, and in conversations with others. Three themes run through Barakso, Sabet, and Schaffner’s text: minimizing classic research problems to making valid inferences, effective presentation of research results, and the nonlinear nature of the research process. Throughout their academic years and later in their professional careers, students will need to effectively convey various bits of information. Presentation skills gleaned from this text will benefit students for a lifetime, whether they continue in academia or in a professional career. Several distinctive features make this book noteworthy: A common set of examples threaded throughout the text give students a common ground across chapters and expose them to a broad range of subfields in the discipline. Box features throughout the book illustrate the nonlinear, 'non-textbook' reality of research, demonstrate the often false inferences and poor social science in the way the popular press covers politics, and encourage students to think about ethical issues at various stages of the research process. A companion website that gives students additional opportunities to fine tune their understanding of the book’s material.

From the author of The Genius of Birds and The Bird Way, a brilliant scientific investigation into owls—the most elusive of birds—and why they exert such a hold on human imaginationFor millennia, owls have captivated and intrigued us. Our fascination with these mysterious birds was first documented more than thirty thousand years ago in the Chauvet Cave paintings in southern France. With their forward gaze and quiet flight, owls are often a symbol of wisdom, knowledge, and foresight. But what does an owl really know? And what do we really know about owls? Though our fascination goes back centuries, scientists have only recently begun to understand in deep detail the complex nature of these extraordinary birds. Some two hundred sixty species of owls exist today, and they reside on every continent except Antarctica, but they are far more difficult to find and study than other birds because they are cryptic, camouflaged, and mostly active in the dark of night.Jennifer Ackerman illuminates the rich biology and natural history of these birds and reveals remarkable new scientific discoveries about their brains and behavior. She joins scientists in the field and explores how researchers are using modern technology and tools to learn how owls communicate, hunt, court, mate, raise their young, and move about from season to season. We now know that the hoots, squawks, and chitters of owls follow sophisticated and complex rules, allowing them to express not just their needs and desires but their individuality and identity. Owls duet. They migrate. They hoard their prey. Some live in underground burrows; some roost in large groups; some dine on black widows and scorpions.Ackerman brings this research alive with her own personal field observations about owls and dives deep into why these birds beguile us. What an Owl Knows is an awe-inspiring exploration of owls across the globe and through human history, and a spellbinding account of their astonishing hunting skills, communication, and sensory prowess. By providing extraordinary new insights into the science of owls, What an Owl Knows pulls back the curtain on the nature of the world’s most enigmatic group of birds.
