The term "economic rationalism," closely tied to equally contentious terms like "neoliberalism, " "economic reform, " "structural adjustment," and "globalization," first entered the lexicon more than ten years ago. In this timely and exceptionally accessible work, philosopher John Wright tackles economic rationalism from a moral perspective. In non-technical language, he reviews the economic arguments for economic rationalism. He examines the ethnical defenses for economic rationalism, considers the many criticisms of economic rationalism, and weighs whether the moral defenses are truly valid.

The aim of this book is comparatively simple: it is to make the point that Durkheim, when writing about society, was actually writing about the formation of the modern French nation, specifically as it was reinventing itself under the Third Republic. Further, that he was also looking more generally at the problem of nation formation, the dominant emerging form of sociopolitical organisation in a modernising age (the nineteenth century) and thereafter. In this Durkheim was probably no different than any of the other classical sociologists. Most had, subconsciously at least, the nation-state as the model of what they meant by society, if not as it was, at least as it should be. Nation was the political outer form of society and society referred to the internal structures of social organisation that gave substance to the political form as a real entity (Giddens, 1987).

Cross-Platform Development in C++ is the definitive guide to developing portable C/C++ application code that will run natively on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux/Unix platforms without compromising functionality, usability, or quality. Long-time Mozilla and Netscape developer Syd Logan systematically addresses all the technical and management challenges associated with software portability from planning and design through coding, testing, and deployment. Drawing on his extensive experience with cross-platform development, Logan thoroughly covers issues ranging from the use of native APIs to the latest strategies for portable GUI development. Along the way, he demonstrates how to achieve feature parity while avoiding the problems inherent to traditional cross-platform development approaches.

The similarities and creative tensions between French-based poststructuralism and Whiteheadian process thought are examined here by leading scholars. Although both approaches are labeled postmodern, their own proponents often take them to be so dissimilar as to be opposed. Contributors to this book, however, argue that processing these differences of theory at a deeper level may cultivate fertile and innovative modes of reflection. Through their comparisons, contrasts, and hybridizations of process and poststructuralist theories, the contributors variously redefine concepts of divinity and cosmos, advance the interaction between science and religion, and engage the sex/gender and religious ethics of otherness and subjectivity.

When used appropriately music can be a powerful tool to support and enrich learning. Developed for music specialists and nonspecialists, this annotated bibliography helps you find print and nonprint materials that support the integration of music across the K-8 curriculum.

Politics at the Airport brings together leading scholars to examine how airports both shape and are shaped by current political, social, and economic conditions. Focusing on the ways that airports have become securitized, the essays address a wide range of practices and technologies—from architecture, biometric identification, and CCTV systems to “no-fly lists” and the privatization of border control—now being deployed to frame the social sorting of safe and potentially dangerous travelers.
