Ordinary Americans often bring family and neighborhood problems to court, seeking justice or revenge. The litigants in these local squabbles encounter law at its boundaries in the corridors of busy city courthouses, in the offices of court clerks, and in the church parlors used by mediation programs. "Getting Justice and Getting Even" concerns the legal consciousness of working class Americans and their experiences with court and mediation. Fo...

The favourite cartoon character of Canadas overseas troops during the Second World War, "Herbie" got into some of the most bizarre predicaments imaginable.

This volume presents an attempt to construct a unified cognitive theory of science in relatively short compass. It confronts the strong program in sociology of science and the positions of various postpositivist philosophers of science, developing significant alternatives to each in a reeadily comprehensible sytle. It draws loosely on recent developments in cognitive science, without burdening the argument with detailed results from that sourc...

Die praktische, konkrete Arbeit des Menschen l{~t sich nicht isolieren von seinen der Religion, den Mythen und der Philosophie entlehnten weltanschaulichen Vorstellungen. Die Wissenschaften dringen immer weiter in Gebiete vor, die bislang philosophischer Neugier vorbehalten waren. Vor diesem Hintergrund zeigt der Band die Ber}hrungspunkte zwischen Philosophie (Theorie) und praktischer Medizin (Praxis) auf.

Die Internationalisierung wirtschaftlicher und wirtschaftspolitischer Aktivitäten ist ein Kennzeichen der modernen Weltwirtschaft.

Im vorliegenden Buch werden die theoretischen Probleme einer Analyse der Weltwirtschaft aufgezeigt und das Reibungsverh...

Drawing on his investigation of over one hundred mid-Victorian British newspapers and periodicals, Alvar Ellegard describes and analyzes the impact of Darwin's theory of evolution during the first dozen years after the publication of the "Origin of Species." Although Darwin's book caused an immediate stir in literary and scientific periodicals, the popular press largely ignored it. Only after the work's implications for theology and the nature...

This provocative, lucidly written reconstruction of utilitarianism focuses on the practical constraints involved in ethical choice: information may be inadequate, and understanding of causes and effects may be limited. Good decision making may be especially constrained if other people are closely involved in determining an outcome. Hardin demonstrates that many of these structural issues can and should be distinguished from the thornier proble...

Burchfield charts the enormous impact made by Lord Kelvin's application of thermodynamic laws to the question of the earth's age and the heated debate his ideas sparked among British Victorian physicists, astronomers, geologists, and biologists. "Anyone interested in geologic time, and that should include all geologists and a fair smattering of biologists, physicists and chemists, should make Burchfield's commendable and time-tested volume par...

Hans J. Nissen here provides a much-needed overview of 7000 years of development in the ancient Near East from the beginning of settled life to the formation of the first regional states. His approach to the study of Mesopotamian civilization differs markedly from conventional orientations, which impose a sharp division between prehistoric and historic, literate, periods. Nissen argues that this approach is too rigid to explain the actual deve...

Legend is overdue for replacement, and an adequate replacement must attend to the process of science as carefully as Hull has done. I share his vision of a serious account of the social and intellectual dynamics of science that will avoid both the rosy blur of Legend and the facile charms of relativism. . . . Because of [Hull's] deep concern with the ways in which research is actually done, "Science as a Process begins an important project in ...

In "Rules versus Relationships, " John M. Conley and William M. O'Barr examine the experiences of litigants seeking redress of everyday difficulties through the small claims courts of the American legal system. The authors find two major and contrasting ways in which litigants formulate and express their problems in terms of specific rule violations and seek concrete legal remedies that would mend soured relationships and respond to their pers...
