Çevreye ilişkin sorunların ve politikaların dünyada ve Türkiye’de giderek önem kazandığı ve güncellik düzeyinin yükseldiği 1970’ten itibaren çevre konusunda yazılan kitapların sayısı da hızla artmıştır. Yayımlanan kitaplarda dikkat çeken özellik, her birinin çoğu kez, çevre sorunsalının belirli ve sınırlı birkaç yönü ile ilgilenmekle yetinmeleri ve de toplum bilimlerinin bütünsellik ilkesinin gerekli kıldığı kapsayıcılıktan uzak olmalarıdır. Cumhuriyetin 100. Yılında toplumsal yapıyı etkileyen çevresel konuların ve sorunların tartışıldığı, dahası çevre alanında yaşananlar karşısında bir öngörü geliştiren bölümlerin...

Müslüman dünyada dini ilimlerle ilgilenen bilim adamları çok itibar görmüştür. Diğer dünyevi ve pozitif ilimlerle ilgilenen bilim adamlarına karşı ise maalesef, birinci gruptakiler kadar ilgi gösterilmemiştir. Askere teknolojiyi, yazara kâğıdı, hastaya sağlığı, halkın rahatlığı için mimariyi üreten onlarken; belki de pozitif ayrımcılık sebebiyle, ilk grup gibi itibar görememişlerdir. Dahası zaman zaman ilk grup tarafından da aşağılanmışlardır. Aslında İslam dünyası maddi boyutlarda o günden bugüne gelebildiyse bunda önemli bir oranda onların payı ve emeği vardır. Bundan dolayıdır ki bu bilim insanlarına karşı vefa borcumuz bulunmakta...
This volume addresses problems and emerging trends in curriculum and technology, and discusses educational matters at the intersection of national and international challenges. It takes the reader on a journey considering issues in curriculum research and practice and developments in teacher education and technology. The book also shows that curriculum as an applied discipline has direct and indirect influences not only on schooling, but also on uncertainties of society, vulnerable groups and global changes. It will be of great interest to curriculum scholars, educators and practitioners, especially when distance education and remote teaching are on the agenda of all education systems throughout the world.
The tourism industry is striving hard to create attractive worlds for its customers. Both as a necessity and as a challenge, this field is overwhelmed by the imagination economy, but raises several questions about tourists, providing opportunities to move deeper into the understanding of complexities involved in relationships among tourists, tourism sites and their historical structure, and environmental sustainability. As a result of this, a serious academic interest in tourism has developed over recent decades as a complex aspect of investigation into humans and their environment. This volume brings together case studies from different parts of the world, focusing on tourism and its interactions with the environment. It provides a general outline of theoretical issues and their practicality in different industrialising countries from both the East and the West. The book will appeal to researchers involved in tourism studies and environmental interactions, as well as academicians and tourism agencies.
Aiming squarely at replacing capitalism with an ecologically sound and socially just society, Magdoff and Williams provide accounts of how a new world can be created from the ashes of the old. They show that it is possible to envision and create a society that is genuinely democratic, equitable, and ecologically sustainable. And possible--not one moment too soon--for society to change fundamentally and be brought into harmony with nature. --From publisher description.
Although comparative exercises are used or applied both explicitly and implicitly in a large number of archaeological publications, they are often uncritically taken for granted. As such, the authors of this book reflect on comparison as a core theme in archaeology from different perspectives, and different theoretical and practical backgrounds. The contributors come from different universities and research contexts, and approach themes and objects from Prehistory to the Early Middle Ages, presenting case studies from Western Europe, the Near East and Latin America. The chapters here also relate archaeology with other disciplines, like art studies, photography, cinema, computer sciences and anthropology, and will be of interest to a wide range of readers, not only archaeologists and those interested in the area of social sciences, but for all those interested in how we construct the past today.
This unabridged reader offers a fresh approach to learning about Geographic Thought by showing, through concrete examples and detailed editorial essays, how the discipline has been forever altered by the rise of progressive social struggles of the last 30 years.
* What is citizenship? * Is global citizenship possible? * Can cosmopolitanism provide an alternative to globalization? Citizenship in a Global Age provides a comprehensive and concise overview of the main debates on citizenship and the implications of globalization. It argues that citizenship is no longer defined by nationality and the nation state, but has become de-territorialized and fragmented into the separate discourses of rights, participation, responsibility and identity. Gerard Delanty claims that cosmopolitanism is increasingly becoming a significant force in the global world due to new expressions of cultural identity, civic ties, human rights, technological innovations, ecologic...
