Play World (Combs, James E.)

Play World , Should we take the idea of play seriously? Since the publication of Huizinga's Homo Ludens in 1938, a provocative literature has developed in philosophy and social science that does. Combs argues that we should understand play both as a generic concept with considerable power to explain human activity, and as a contemporary procept that demystifies some of the puzzling trends and innovations emerging in the quickly developing new social world of the 21st century. Combs explores the thesis that play has a central role in our understanding of human activity and social and political organization in the new millennium. He argues that the human desire for play is strong and given the continuation of certain major historical innovations now shaping the world, it may well be that 21st-century people will increasingly exercise their desire for play and that the world will increasingly be organized around the principle and practice of play. It may now seem a truism that people prefer to have fun, but that has not always been the case. If, as Combs argues, the preference for fun is becoming central to human activity, we need to explore why that preference is becoming dominant and what kind of social organization and consequences such a change entails. A provocative look at social change in the 20th century that will be of interest to scholars, students, and researchers of sociology and anthropology. , Bücher > Bücher & Zeitschriften , Erscheinungsjahr: 20000930, Produktform: Leinen, Beilage: HC gerader Rücken kaschiert, Autoren: Combs, James E., Seitenzahl/Blattzahl: 182, Warengruppe: HC/Sozialwissenschaften allgemein, Fachkategorie: Populäre Kultur, Text Sprache: eng, UNSPSC: 49019900, Warenverzeichnis für die Außenhandelsstatistik: 49019900, Verlag: Bloomsbury 3PL, Länge: 235, Breite: 157, Höhe: 15, Gewicht: 425, Produktform: Gebunden, Genre: Importe, Genre: Importe, Herkunftsland: DEUTSCHLAND (DE), Katalog: Gesamtkatalog, Katalog: Internationale Lagertitel, Katalog: internationale Titel, Katalog: Lagerartikel, Book on Demand, ausgew.

The Political Pundits (Nimmo, Dan D.~Combs, James E.)

The Political Pundits , The Political Pundits surveys in detail the small, elite group of persons who comment on and analyze politics in newspapers and newsmagazines, on radio and television, through lectures, books, and all other forms of political media. Dan Nimmo and James E. Combs discuss the key political role pundits play, their methods and strategies, and the potential danger they present to American political life. Our democracy is being transformed into a punditocracy, which replaces serious citizen debate with discussion guided by show business values. Punditry, Nimmo and Combs argue, produces symbolic rather than effective healing of political ills, political paternalism rather than political reflection, and, in the end, public disenchantment with politics. The authors conclude that pundits should not be taken too seriously, and approach their outpourings using a comic, or bardic, framework. In Part One, the discussion focuses on four generic types of pundits: Priests, Bards, Sages, and Oracles. Part Two identifies three pundit roles: as technicians, as members of the Chattering Class, and as media critics. Each chapter provides examples, cases, and profiles to demonstrate the dominance of punditry. The Political Pundits challenges the generally accepted view that learned and informed public discussion in politics provides an adequate forum for informing and involving citizens. Scholars and students of political science and communications will find the role of the pundits demystified--the curtain pulled back to reveal the wizards. , > , Erscheinungsjahr: 19920521, Produktform: Leinen, Beilage: HC gerader Rücken kaschiert, Autoren: Nimmo, Dan D.~Combs, James E., Seitenzahl/Blattzahl: 218, Themenüberschrift: LANGUAGE ARTS & DISCIPLINES / Communication Studies, Warengruppe: HC/Medienwissenschaften/Allgemeines, Lexika, Fachkategorie: Kommunikationswissenschaft, Text Sprache: eng, UNSPSC: 49019900, Warenverzeichnis für die Außenhandelsstatistik: 49019900, Verlag: Bloomsbury 3PL, Länge: 240, Breite: 161, Höhe: 16, Gewicht: 498, Produktform: Gebunden, Genre: Importe, Genre: Importe, Herkunftsland: DEUTSCHLAND (DE), Katalog: Gesamtkatalog, Katalog: Internationale Lagertitel, Katalog: internationale Titel, Relevanz: 0000, Tendenz: 0, Unterkatalog: AK, Unterkatalog: Bücher, Unterkatalog: Hardcover,

The Comedy of Democracy (Combs, James E.~Blank, Robert H.~Nimmo, Dan)

The Comedy of Democracy , The notion of society and politics as drama has drawn much attention in recent years. Yet despite the heritage begun by Aristophanes, few students of politics and the social order have taken comedy and comic inquiry seriously. This book revives the Aristophanic notion of democracy as comedy. Herein the reader will find why and how different aspects of American democracy-public opinion, interest groups, the presidency, and so on-are comic. It is the author's contention that the comic perspective offers insight and understanding on the actual operation of democracy. And they invite all those who wish to understand why American democracy is so comic to join them in their inquiry. , Studium & Erwachsenenbildung > Fachbücher, Lernen & Nachschlagen , Erscheinungsjahr: 19960228, Produktform: Leinen, Beilage: HC gerader Rücken kaschiert, Autoren: Combs, James E.~Blank, Robert H.~Nimmo, Dan, Seitenzahl/Blattzahl: 214, Warengruppe: HC/Politikwissenschaft, Fachkategorie: Politisches System: Demokratie, Text Sprache: eng, UNSPSC: 49019900, Warenverzeichnis für die Außenhandelsstatistik: 49019900, Verlag: Bloomsbury 3PL, Länge: 240, Breite: 161, Höhe: 16, Gewicht: 492, Produktform: Gebunden, Genre: Importe, Genre: Importe, Herkunftsland: DEUTSCHLAND (DE), Katalog: Gesamtkatalog, Katalog: Internationale Lagertitel, Katalog: internationale Titel, Katalog: Lagerartikel, Book on Demand, ausgew.

James, Lexi: Power Play

Power Play , Sawyer Daniels had a plan. She'd teach at the daycare and go to class until she finished her degree. Once a week, she would bartend at the strip club, Atlantis, to earn the money she needed to break free. She just had to make it until graduation, and then, with any luck she'd be out of this mess. But one night, she meets Rex Lockwood. The hot and broody man she'd been eyeing one night at work. When one thing leads to another, she ends the night in his lap where lines between work and pleasure begin to blur. To make matters worse, he's the new university hockey coach for her brother's team. The brother she's currently refusing to speak to. Rex Lockwood never thought he'd be back in New York City, but here he is, back in the hockey world as the men's hockey coach for his old university. Now that he's back, he's promised himself that he will only do what's best for him and his daughter, not letting anyone close enough to affect her happiness. But when he meets a girl with bright blue eyes and a body made for him, he begins questioning his reasons for keeping everyone at a distance. Can they overcome these obstacles, or will they be driven further apart? , Bücher > Bücher & Zeitschriften

Power Play (Pfiffner, James P.)

Power Play , " The framers of the U.S. Constitution divided the federal government's powers among three branches: the executive, the legislative, and the judiciary. Their goal was to prevent tyranny by ensuring that none of the branches could govern alone. While numerous presidents have sought to escape these constitutional constraints, the administration of George W. Bush went farther than most. It denied the writ of habeas corpus to individuals deemed to be enemy combatants. It suspended the Geneva Convention and allowed or encouraged the use of harsh interrogation methods amounting to torture. It ordered the surveillance of Americans without obtaining warrants as required by law. And it issued signing statements declaring that the president does not have the duty to faithfully execute hundreds of provisions in the laws he has signed. Power Play analyzes the Bush presidency's efforts to expand executive power in these four domains and puts them into constitutional and historical perspective. Pfiffner explores the evolution of Anglo-American thinking about executive power and individual rights. He highlights the lessons the Constitution's framers drew from such philosophers as Locke and Montesquieu, as well as English constitutional history. He documents the ways in which the Bush administration's policies have undermined the separation of powers, and he shows how these practices have imperiled the rule of law. Following 9/11, the Bush presidency engaged in a two-front offensive. In Afghanistan and Iraq, the administration aggressively prosecuted the ""war on terror."" At home, it targeted constraints on the power of the executive. Power Play lays bare the extent of this second campaign and explains why it will continue to threaten the future of republican government if the other two branches do not assert their own constitutional prerogatives.

Findlay, James W.: Play Intelligence

Play Intelligence , On the whim of an idea, a sophomore student, unlike any other sophomore, takes on the might of the academic world with one of the most thought provoking books written on psychology and philosophy. Play Intelligence: From IQ to PIQ challenges the very heart of our modern science with a radical, if not explosive, hypothesis that human intelligence is playing. He takes on two of the most difficult concepts in science, since we first began to think of science. What is intelligence, and why do we play as we do? With a simple toy brick, he demonstrates how play affects our brain and thought processes and how our abilities transfer from one intelligence to another. He also demonstrates how play is vital in our education and communication, for both children and adults. Like the children all around us, if we dare but play, we could face the challenges in our daily life and have fun while doing so. , Bücher > Bücher & Zeitschriften
