Download or read book Liminality and the Modern written by Bjørn Thomassen and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the history and genealogy of an increasingly important subject: liminality. Coming to the fore in recent years in social and political theory and extending beyond is original use as developed within anthropology, liminality has come to denote spaces and moments in which the taken-for-granted order of the world ceases to exist and novel forms emerge, often in unpredictable ways. Liminality and the Modern offers a comprehensive introduction to this concept, discussing its development and laying out a conceptual and experiential framework for thinking about change in terms of liminality. Applying this framework to questions surrounding the implosion of ’non-spaces’, the analysis of major historical periods and the study of political revolution, the book also explores its possible uses in social science research and its implications for our understanding of the uncertainty and contingency of the liquid structures of modern society. Shedding new light on a concept central to social thought, as well as its capacity for pushing social and political theory in new directions, this book will be of interest to scholars across the social sciences and philosophy working in fields such as social, political and anthropological theory, cultural studies, social and cultural geography, and historical anthropology and sociology.

Book excerpt: Kiss My Math meets A Tour of the Calculus Jennifer Ouellette never took math in college, mostly because she-like most people-assumed that she wouldn't need it in real life.

Download or read book Money Makeovers written by Christopher L. Hayes and published by Main Street Books. This book was released on 1999-01-19 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Find out what thousands of women have learned about achieving wealth Take the money personality test that can change your life Uncover your hidden financial talents Learn to invest without fear Between one third and two thirds of women now aged thirty-five to fifty-five will be impoverished after age sixty-five if they do not immediately start to prepare financially for their later years. It is Christopher Hayes's mission to change that frightening statistic. Women are less psychologically inclined than men to save on a regular basis. Women are less likely than men to benefit from Social Security and pension plans. Women are at increased financial risk because of widowhood and divorce. For these reasons alone, Money Makeovers provides information no woman can afford to be without. In a book that is at once a wake-up call and a practical guide, Dr. Christopher L. Hayes, Founder and Executive Director of the National Center for Women and Retirement Research, teaches women to understand their own "financial personality profile," overcome gender-based resistance, and take charge of their economic security. By addressing the specific links between money attitudes and personality types, Money Makeovers offers targeted advice that speaks to the unique concerns and fears of the individual reader. Each woman will be able to recognize herself in the specially designed "Women Cents Self-Test," as well as in the anecdotes and case histories throughout the text, and will be empowered to move forward with a practical financial plan. By learning why she has been reluctant or unable to save; by learning how to overcome her own psychological barriers; and by following Hayes's savvy, specific financial advice, each woman will be able to plan her own future, free of economic anxiety. From the Hardcover edition.
