Conflict as a Context for Understanding Maternal Beliefs About Child Rearing and Children's Misbehavior (9780787912536)

Image
Complaints, disputes, disagreements, arguments-whatever terminology is applied, conflicts between parents and their children are a ubiquitous feature of daily family life. These conflicts play a pivotal role in both individual development and the maintenance of family relationships. In this issue of "New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development", the authors examine mothers' thoughts about, during, and in response to conflict, and reveal how those maternal beliefs impact children's development. Chapters shed light on mothers' responses to and thoughts about sibling aggression; the role of cultural climate in mothers' use of physical punishment; how mothers' parenting goals and causal attributions vary across child gender and type of transgression; and the relation between maternal beliefs and preschoolers' behaviors with peers. This is the 86th issue of the quarterly journal "New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development". ...

Bundesland Und Reichsgau : Demokratie, "standestaat" Und Ns-Herrschaft in Der Steiermark 1918 Bis 1945 (9783205200628)

Image
Erstmals wird in diesem Band die Steiermark von 1918 bis 1945 von 31 Autorinnen und Autoren thematisch umfassend portratiert. Die dargestellte Zeit ist voll ideologisch aufgeladener, oft gewaltsamer Konflikte und voll von existenzieller wirtschaftlicher Not. Zusammenstoe von kirchlich-religios gebundener und "nationaler" beziehungsweise "proletarischer" sakularer Kultur spiegeln soziale Zerkluftungen, hergebrachte provinzielle Fixierungen (z.B. "Steiermark - ein deutsches Grenzland") bestimmen haufig das offentliche Klima - auch in Literatur und Kunsten. Bis 1930/32 kooperieren die Akteure der "politischen Klasse" dennoch miteinander. Danach beenden NS-Begeisterung und der "autoritare Staat" das demokratische System von 1918/20. Nach dem "Anschluss" folgt 1938 nur scheinbar ein Aufschwung. Real dominieren ab 1939 (wieder) Weltkrieg und zunehmende NS-Gewalt. Der endemische Antisemitismus begunstigt die Vertreibung und Vernichtu...

Learning From Las Vegas : The Forgotten Symbolism of Architectural Form (9780262720069)

Image
Learning from Las Vegas created a healthy controversy on its appearance in 1972, calling for architects to be more receptive to the tastes and values of "common" people and less immodest in their erections of "heroic," self-aggrandizing monuments. This revision includes the full texts of Part I of the original, on the Las Vegas strip, and Part II, "Ugly and Ordinary Architecture, or the Decorated Shed," a generalization from the findings of the first part on symbolism in architecture and the iconography of urban sprawl. (The final part of the first edition, on the architectural work of the firm Venturi and Rauch, is not included in the revision.) The new paperback edition has a smaller format, fewer pictures, and a considerably lower price than the original. There are an added preface by Scott Brown and a bibliography of writings by the members of Venturi and Rauch and about the firm's work. Product details ...

The Novel Habits of Happiness (9780349141022)

Image
Isabel Dalhousie is one of Edinburgh's most generous (but discreet) philanthropists - but should she be more charitable? She wonders, sometimes, if she is too judgmental about her niece's amorous exploits, too sharp about her housekeeper's spiritual beliefs, too ready to bristle in battle against her enemies. As the editor of the Review of Applied Ethics, she doesn't, of course, allow herself actual enemies, but she does feel enmity - especially towards two academics who have just arrived in the city. Isabel feels they're a highly destabilizing influence; little tremors in the volcanic rock upon which an Enlightened Edinburgh perches. Equally troubling is the situation of the little boy who is convinced he had a previous life. When Isabel is called upon to help, she finds herself questioning her views on reincarnation. And the nature of grief. And - crucially - the positioning of lighthouses. The only questions Isabel doesn't have to address concern her per...

Conversing with Barth (9780754605706)

Image
Karl Barth addressed all the major themes of dogmatic theology, and in so doing made his own distinctive contribution to each of the ongoing conversations that constitute that theology. This book presents important new 'conversations with Barth' by leading contemporary theologians and Barth scholars. Each contributor offers their own distinctive emphasis to bring to light the ways in which the depths of Barth's work may illuminate or be illuminated by the work of other prominent thinkers who preceded or followed him. The conversations they host between Barth and other philosophers and theologians raise critical questions in the reading and appreciation of Barth's thought, and explore a wide range of themes in dogmatic theology. This book not only adds to the comprehension of the riches of Barth's theology but also presents an important contribution to the ongoing conversations and debates alive in theology today. Contributors: Nicholas Lash, John Webster, Timoth...

Lone Star Nation (9781400030705)

Image
In Lone Star Nation, Pulitzer Prize finalist H. W. Brands demythologizes Texas's journey to statehood and restores the genuinely heroic spirit to a pivotal chapter in American history. From Stephen Austin, Texas's reluctant founder, to the alcoholic Sam Houston, who came to lead the Texas army in its hour of crisis and glory, to President Andrew Jackson, whose expansionist aspirations loomed large in the background, here is the story of Texas and the outsize figures who shaped its turbulent history. Beginning with its early colonization in the 1820s and taking in the shocking massacres of Texas loyalists at the Alamo and Goliad, its rough-and-tumble years as a land overrun by the Comanches, and its day of liberation as an upstart republic, Brands' lively history draws on contemporary accounts, diaries, and letters to animate a diverse cast of characters whose adventures, exploits, and ambitions live on in the very fabric of our nation. ...

We Were Warriors : A Powerful and Moving Story of Courage Under Fire (9781509853021)

Image
Unflinching, action-packed and laced with wry humour, Johnny Mercer's We Were Warriors is a compelling read. 'An adrenalin-fuelled, gritty story of heroism on the frontline in Afghanistan' Andy McNab The rounds were single shot from the same two enemy positions, trying to pick me off. They were kicking up the dirt around me. Then all hell broke loose as the gunship's Gatling vomited ammo right over my head. The sound was deafening. It was now or never. I got up and ran. A captain in 29 Commando, Johnny Mercer served in the army for twelve years. On his third tour of Afghanistan he was a Joint Fires Controller, with the pressurized job of bringing down artillery and air strikes in close proximity to his own troops. Based in an area of northern Helmand that was riddled with Taliban leaders, he walked into danger with every patrol, determined to protect them. Then one morning, in brutal close quarter combat, everything changed . . . In We Were Warriors Johnny takes us f...
