On Ordinary Heroes and American Democracy

On Ordinary Heroes and American Democracy

True American heroes need not have superhuman abilities nor do they need to act alone. Heroism in a democracy is different from the heroism of myths and legends writes Gerald Pomper in this original contribution to the literature of U. S. politics. Through the remarkable stories of eight diverse Americans who acted as heroes by just doing their jobs during national crises he offers a provocative definition of heroism and fresh reasons to respect U. S. institutions and the people who work within them. This new paperback edition includes photographs an introductory chapter on American heroism after 9/11 a survey of the meanings of heroism in U. S. popular culture and an original concluding theory of ordinary heroism. | On Ordinary Heroes and American Democracy

Irish Housing Design 1950 – 1980 Out of the Ordinary

Irish Housing Design 1950 – 1980 Out of the Ordinary

This book examines the architectural design of housing projects in Ireland from the mid-twentieth century. This period represented a high point in the construction of the Welfare State project where the idea that architecture could and should shape and define community and social life was not yet considered problematic. Exploring a period when Ireland embraced the free market and the end of economic protectionism the book is a series of case studies supported by critical narratives. Little known but of high quality the schemes presented in this volume are by architects whose designs helped determine future architectural thinking in Ireland and elsewhere. Aimed at academics students and researchers the book is accompanied by new drawings and over 100 full colour images with the example studies demonstrating rich architectural responses to a shifting landscape. | Irish Housing Design 1950 – 1980 Out of the Ordinary

The Everyday Lives of Gay Men Autoethnographies of the Ordinary

The Everyday Lives of Gay Men Autoethnographies of the Ordinary

The Everyday Lives of Gay Men draws on the expertise of 12 contributors from different countries and fields writing from an autoethnographic first-person approach. Putting the power of personal stories at the centre of the construction of sophisticated narratives of gay men’s lives the accounts draw attention to the limits of traditional perspectives to gay men’s studies that look at gayness through a sexualised lens and explore how gay men make sense of their identity in their everyday lives. Together they present a complex nuanced understanding of gayness and challenge the conception of ‘being gay’ as a sexual orientation because it describes in sexual terms an identity that is not only not always and not predominantly sexual. The authors come from a variety of fields including counselling studies and sociology to communication religion and education. The innovative approach of The Everyday Lives of Gay Men makes it ideal for students and scholars in gender studies sexuality studies sociology mental health and research methods.

An Analysis of Daniel Jonah Goldhagen's Hitler's Willing Executioners Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust

An Analysis of Daniel Jonah Goldhagen's Hitler's Willing Executioners Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust

Daniel Goldhagen's study of the Holocaust offers conclusions that run directly counter to those reached by Christopher Browning whose book Ordinary Men is also the subject of a Macat analysis. As such the two analyses make possible some interesting critical thinking exercises focused on evaluation of the evidence used by the two historians. For Goldhagen a chief reason for German actions was not the mundane good comradeship stressed by Browning but a longstanding hatred of Jews and Judaism specific to Germany that dated back well into the previous century. Debating which historian is right which has made better use of the available evidence which has most successfully written objectively – and which advances the most secure interpretation of contested documents – forces students to think critically about one of the most important and (on the surface at least) incomprehensible events of the past century. | An Analysis of Daniel Jonah Goldhagen's Hitler's Willing Executioners Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust

The Extraordinary Gift of Being Ordinary Finding Happiness Right Where You Are

The Extraordinary Gift of Being Ordinary Finding Happiness Right Where You Are

“Did I sound stupid?” “Should I have sent that email?” “How do I look?” Many of us spend a lot of time feeling self-conscious and comparing ourselves to others. Why do we judge ourselves so relentlessly? Why do we strive so hard to be special or successful or to avoid feeling rejected? When psychologist and mindfulness expert Dr. Ronald Siegel realized that he as well as most of his clients was caught in a cycle of endless self-evaluation he decided to do something about it. This engaging empowering guide sheds light on this very human habit-and explains how to break it. Through illuminating stories and exercises practical tools (which you can download and print for repeated use) and guided meditations with accompanying audio downloads Dr. Siegel invites you to stop obsessing so much about how you measure up. Instead by accepting the extraordinary gift of being ordinary you can build stronger connections with others and get more joy out of life. | The Extraordinary Gift of Being Ordinary Finding Happiness Right Where You Are

An Analysis of Christopher R. Browning's Ordinary Men Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland

An Analysis of Christopher R. Browning's Ordinary Men Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland

Of all the controversies facing historians today few are more divisive or more important than the question of how the Holocaust was possible. What led thousands of Germans – many of them middle-aged reservists with apparently little Nazi zeal – to willingly commit acts of genocide? Was it ideology? Was there something rotten in the German soul? Or was it – as Christopher Browning argues in this highly influential book – more a matter of conformity a response to intolerable social and psychological pressure? Ordinary Men is a microhistory the detailed study of a single unit in the Nazi killing machine. Browning evaluates a wide range of evidence to seek to explain the actions of the ordinary men who made up reserve Police Battalion 101 taking advantage of the wide range of resources prepared in the early 1960s for a proposed war crimes trial. He concludes that his subjects were not evil; rather their actions are best explained by a desire to be part of a team not to shirk responsibility that would otherwise fall on the shoulders of comrades and a willingness to obey authority. Browning's ability to explore the strengths and weaknesses of arguments – both the survivors' and other historians' – is what sets his work apart from other studies that have attempted to get to the root of the motivations for the Holocaust and it is also what marks Ordinary Men as one of the most important works of its generation. | An Analysis of Christopher R.

Just Ordinary Robots Automation from Love to War

Just Ordinary Robots Automation from Love to War

A social robot is a robot that interacts and communicates with humans or other autonomous physical agents by following social behaviors and rules attached to its role. We seem to accept the use of robots that perform dull dirty and dangerous jobs. But how far do we want to go with the automation of care for children and the elderly or the killing of terrorists? Would we be setting humanity aside if we accepted such automation?Just Ordinary Robots: Automation from Love to War provides a socially involved yet sober view into the new age of robots. It supplies a cutting-edge look at robot technologies including what these technologies are capable of and the ethical and regulatory questions they raise. The book surveys the various types of social robots and examines their social significance in homes health care traffic the police and the military. Considering the technical characteristics and societal expectations of robots in these areas it explores what is possible right now in terms of robot technologies. It also looks into the social ethical and regulatory issues future robot technologies will create. The text provides authoritative insights into the social significance of robots for the medium and long term. Illustrating the political administrative and regulatory consequences related to each area it highlights key points that need to be publicly discussed or put on the agenda by today’s politicians and policy makers. | Just Ordinary Robots Automation from Love to War

China and Europe Relations in the Twenty-First Century Politics Law and Ordinary Life

China and Europe Relations in the Twenty-First Century Politics Law and Ordinary Life

This book argues that although relations between China and Europe are strained in many areas including trade human rights and views about political systems nevertheless established linkages especially when considered in the context of long-term historical linkages development trajectories and intellectual cultures offer good prospects for future progressive collaborative exchanges. Approaching the subject in a balanced way giving equal weight to the perspectives of both sides the book examines China and Europe’s shared experiences of age-old civilizations of the disorienting effects of the economic social and political upheavals triggered by the late eighteenth century creation of the modern world and of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries era of European empires warfare and the Cold War. It contends that although China and Europe appear superficially to have followed different paths with many problems in their relationship resulting they in fact have a very great deal in common concerning how they have coped with the long shift from ancient civilizations to the modern world of natural-science-based industrial capitalism. | China and Europe Relations in the Twenty-First Century Politics Law and Ordinary Life

Approximate Analytical Methods for Solving Ordinary Differential Equations

Approximate Analytical Methods for Solving Ordinary Differential Equations

Approximate Analytical Methods for Solving Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) is the first book to present all of the available approximate methods for solving ODEs eliminating the need to wade through multiple books and articles. It covers both well-established techniques and recently developed procedures including the classical series solution method diverse perturbation methods pioneering asymptotic methods and the latest homotopy methods. The book is suitable not only for mathematicians and engineers but also for biologists physicists and economists. It gives a complete description of the methods without going deep into rigorous mathematical aspects. Detailed examples illustrate the application of the methods to solve real-world problems. The authors introduce the classical power series method for solving differential equations before moving on to asymptotic methods. They next show how perturbation methods are used to understand physical phenomena whose mathematical formulation involves a perturbation parameter and explain how the multiple-scale technique solves problems whose solution cannot be completely described on a single timescale. They then describe the Wentzel Kramers and Brillown (WKB) method that helps solve both problems that oscillate rapidly and problems that have a sudden change in the behavior of the solution function at a point in the interval. The book concludes with recent nonperturbation methods that provide solutions to a much wider class of problems and recent analytical methods based on the concept of homotopy of topology.

Textbook on Ordinary Differential Equations A Theoretical Approach

Textbook on Ordinary Differential Equations A Theoretical Approach

Many scientific and real-world problems that occur in science engineering and medicine can be represented in differential equations. There is a vital role for differential equations in studying the behavior of different types of real-world problems. Thus it becomes crucial to know the existence and uniqueness properties of differential equations and various methods of finding differential equation solutions in explicit form. It is also essential to know different kinds of differential equations in terms of eigenvalues termed eigenvalue problems and some special functions used in finding the solution to differential equations. The study of nonlinear problems also plays a significant role in different real-world situations. There is a necessity to know the behavior of solutions of nonlinear differential equations. Still there are very few forms of differential equations whose solution can be found in explicit form. For the differential equations whose solutions cannot be found in explicit form one has to study the properties of solutions of the given differential equation to guess an approximate solution of it. This book aims to introduce all the necessary topics of differential equations in one book so that laymen can easily understand the subject and apply it in their research areas. The novel approach used in this book is the introduction of different analytical methods for finding the solution of differential equations with sufficient theorems corollaries and examples and the geometrical interpretations in each topic. This textbook is intended to study the theory and methods of finding the explicit solutions to differential equations wherever possible and in the absence of finding explicit solutions it is intended to study the properties of solutions to the given differential equations. This book is based on syllabi of the theory of differential equations prescribed for postgraduate students of mathematics and applied mathematics in different institutions and universities of India and abroad. This book will be helpful for competitive examinations as well. | Textbook on Ordinary Differential Equations A Theoretical Approach
