Ethnicity and Religion in Southwest China Ming He

As China strengthens its links with its neighbours through its Belt and Road initiative, there is growing interest in the indigenous peoples of China's western and southwestern borderlands. This book, based on extensive original research, considers the indigenous peoples of Yunnan province, which is a major gateway between China and the countries of south and south-east Asia. Unlike many books on China's indigenous peoples which are written by foreigners who have lived for a while in China, this book is comprised of the work of Chinese scholars, many of them members of ethnic minorities themselves, and considers the issues from a Chinese

Za obzor Západu - Ivo T. Budil

Za obzor Západu - Budil Ivo T., Vydavateľ: Triton, Väzba: Knihy viazané, Počet strán: 800, Rok vydania: 2022 Kniha se zabývá vznikem a vývojem antropologického myšlení na pozadí expanze západní civilizace, od vrcholného středověku po soumrak viktoriánské éry, s přihlédnutím k širším historickým, sociálním a kulturním souvislostem. Autor se pokusil vystihnout svébytnou povahu západní společnosti, utvářenou od prehistorických dob, a porozumět klíčovým epizodám setkávání a střetávání s mimoevropskými civilizacemi a kulturami, které měly osudový dopad na vývoj moderního západního myšlení, vzdělanosti a vědy, například misijnímu úsilí, zámořským výpravám nebo koloniálním výbojům. Ve druhé části své studie podrobně líčí utváření antropologie – jakožto vědecké disciplíny o lidské rozmanitosti a odlišnosti – od raného novověku po počátek dvacátého století, kdy v dějinách tohoto oboru přichází údobí nazývané „klasické“. Pozornost je věnována především biblické antropologii, intelektuálnímu vlivu osvícenství a romantismu na formování moderní antropologie, klasickému evolucionismu, difuzionismu, zrodu rasové ideologie a významu působení Emila Durkheima, Franze Boase, Williama Riverse a dalších výrazných osobností přelomu devatenáctého a dvacátého století. Přehled se uzavírá těsně před vystoupením Bronislawa Malinowského a vznikem funkcionalistické a konfiguracionistické školy.

Odvážne dievča je odhodlané zviera zachrániť a vydáva sa na najdôležitejšiu cestu svojho života...Dobrodružný príbeh doplnený emotívnymi čierno-bielymi ilustráciami si získal srdcia detí aj dospelých po celom svete. Jeho poslaním je ukázať, že nikto nie je príliš mladý alebo bezvýznamný na to, aby niečo zmenil.Toto výnimočné dielo nenechá nikoho na pochybách, že každý človek môže urobiť niečo pre záchranu našej planéty.

Karel IV. - Otec vlasti

Šesťdielna historická sága je najznámejším a zároveň najrozsiahlejším románom o Karolovi IV. Vychádza v jednej knihe s bohatými farebnými ilustráciami a exkluzívnou grafickou úpravou. Ludmila Vaňková svojou nevšednou beletristickou kronikou dala Otcovi vlasti podobu človeka, ktorý je nám blízky aj dnes, keď národ považuje Karola IV. za najväčšieho Čecha. Karel IV. ako najslávnejší český panovník urobil z Prahy navždy srdce Európy a už jeho súčasníci ho nazývali Otcom vlasti. Historická sága Ludmily Vaňkovej pútavo rozpráva príbeh jeho života od mladosti až po posledné dni na cisárskom tróne. Pre Čechy to bolo obdobie veľkého rozkvetu, ktorý sa rozšíril do celej Rímskej ríše. Gotická Praha rástla pred očami. Katedrála na Pražskom hrade, Pražská univerzita, Kamenný most, Nové Mesto s najväčším námestím a neďaleko novej metropoly sa staval veľkolepý Karlštejn, osobné sídlo cisára. Karol IV. mal značný vplyv na všetko, čo sa dialo v Európe. Bola to najmä storočná vojna medzi Francúzskom a Anglickom a úsilie o pápeža z Avignonu do Ríma. Nemenej zaujímavý bol aj Karolov osobný život. Mal štyri manželky, každú inú, a ku každej si vytvoril osobitný vzťah. Jeho životom prešli stovky historických osobností, kráľov, pápežov, vodcov, umelcov, učencov, a ich osudy neostali Karlovi ľahostajné. Vďaka svojim vynikajúcim panovníckym schopnostiam dokázal uskutočniť nielen sny svojho otca Jána, ale aj svoje vlastné skutočne vznešené kráľovské zámery. Jeho smrť vo veku šesťdesiatich dvoch rokov nebola dôsledkom staroby, ale nešťastnej náhody na samom vrchole jeho úspešného života.

Feminism against Progress

Modern feminism increasingly benefits only a small class of professional women. There is no reason to sacrifice everyone else's happiness for their sake.Mary Harrington shows that women's liberation was less the result of moral progress than an effect of the material consequences of the Industrial Revolution. We've now left the industrial era for the digital age, in which technology is liberating us from natural limits and embodied sex differences. This shift may benefit the elites, but it also makes it easier to commodify women's bodies, human intimacy, and female reproductive abilities. "Feminism" has been captured by well-off white-collar women, who use it to advance their own economic and political interests under the pretense that these are the interests of all women--all the while wielding the term like a club against anyone, male or female, who dissents.

Doing Global Fieldwork: A Social Scientist's Guide to Mixed-Methods Research Far from Home Driscoll Jesse

To do quality research, many social scientists must travel to far-flung parts of the world and spend long stretches of time living in places they find unfamiliar and uncomfortable.

He details the major steps in fieldwork planning and execution, from creating a plan, to what happens when political conditions throw up obstacles to research, to distilling and writing up research findings upon return. Driscoll emphasizes the ability to improvise and adapt because in the field, ideas will shift, plans will change, and something will inevitably go wrong. He offers a
