The effective functioning of a democratic society—including social, business, and political interactions—largely depends on trust. Yet trust remains a fragile and elusive resource in many of the organizations that make up society's building blocks. In their timely volume, Trust and Distrust in Organizations, editors Roderick M. Kramer and Karen S. Cook have compiled the most important research on trust in organizations, illuminating the complex nature of how trust develops, functions, and often is thwarted in organizational settings. With contributions from social psychologists, sociologists, political scientists, economists, and organizational theorists, the volume examines trust and di...
This book offers a fascinating yet disturbing account of the significance of racism in the lives of five and six year old children, drawing upon data from an in-depth study of an inner-city, multi-ethnic primary school and its surrounding community. It represents one of the only detailed studies to give primacy to the voices of the young children themselves - giving them the space to articulate their own experiences and concerns. Together with detailed observation of the children in the school and local community, it provides an important account of how and why they draw upon discourses on race in the development of their gender identities. The book graphically highlights the understanding that these children have of issues of race, gender and sexuality and the active role they play in using and reworking this knowledge to make sense of their experiences.
A moving and powerful play about the experiences of three very different mothers.

Milovnice zločinů Lucie Bechynková pro vás vybrala a zpracovala dalších devětatřicet děsivých mordů z celého světa. Snažila se vybrat takové případy, které vás čtenáře zaujmou stejně jako tomu bylo v první, veleúspěšné knize Opravdové zločiny. Druhá kniha je obohacena o čtyři rozhovory s lidmi, kteří mají hodně co dělat se zločinem. Autorka si vybrala příběhy z obou stran zákona. Jsou zde sondy do života lidí, kteří zákon porušili a strávili tak nějaký čas za mřížemi a na druhé straně rozhovory s těmi, kteří naopak zákon hájí. Opravdové zločiny získaly v roce 2021 cenu Autorský podcast roku 2020 a v roce 2022 tento titul znovu obhájily!

Doing Early Childhood Research demystifies the research process. An international team of experienced researchers shows how to select the right questions and use the appropriate methods to investigate important issues in early childhood. The editors and authors provide a thorough introduction to the most common research methods used in the early childhood context. Reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of much early childhood research, they cover a wide range of conventional and newer approaches including observation, small surveys, action research, ethnography, policy analysis and poststructuralist approaches. They explain clearly how to set up research projects which are theoretically grounded, well-designed, rigorously analysed, feasible and ethically fair. Each chapter is illustrated with examples and case studies. Doing Early Childhood Research is essential reading for new researchers and students inexperienced in conducting research.
