R140 R112 Discovery Miles 1 120 Save R28 (20%) Ships in 5 - 10 working days

Life is a continual balancing act, and often the more we pursue balance, the more things seem to fall apart. All aspects of life - career, family, relationships, and health and wellbeing - are in perpetual motion, and it's this constant state of flux that makes it hard for us to attend to them in equal measure. The Little Book of Balance offers guidance from some of the world's greatest minds in the art of letting each aspect of life feed off each other equally. To lead a well-balanced life, we must first accept that balance isn't something we can control. 'Never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life.' - Dolly Parton 'Doubt can motivate you, so don't be afraid of it. Confidence and doubt are at two ends of the scale, and you need both. They balance each other out.' - Barbra Streisand

Social Science Quotations - Who Said What, When, and Where (Paperback): Robert Merton Social Science Quotations - Who Said What, When, and Where (Paperback)
Robert Merton
R1,504 Discovery Miles 15 040 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Social Science Quotations has been prepared to meet an evident, unmet need in the literature of the social sciences. Writings on the lives and theories of individual social scientists abound, but there has been no fully documented collection of memorable quotations from the social sciences as a whole. The frequent use of quotations in scientific as well as literary writings that are mere summaries or paraphrases typically fail to capture the full force of formulations that have made quotations memorable.

The book is subtitled Who Said What, When, and Where in order to highlight a unique and valuable feature: the date of first publication and source of each quotation are given in the text and the full reference is provided in the extensive bibliography. Exact references can also prove useful for swiftly locating the more familiar quotations. By leading readers back to the sources, such detailed references can help them place even extended quotations in their larger contexts. In this way, this book of quotations invites the further reading or rereading of the original texts, beyond the quotations themselves.

Social Science Quotations draws extensively upon the writings that constitute the historical core of the social sciences and social thought, those works with staying power often described as the "classical texts". Most of their authors wrote well; most of them wrote voluminously; and their ideas have had a formative impact upon much subsequent thinking. Many quotations have been drawn from these classical texts because the quotations contain memorable ideas memorably expressed. Both consequential and memorable, these words have been quoted over the generations, entering into thecollective memory of social scientists everywhere and at times diffusing into popular thought and into the vernacular as well.

Social Science Quotations is useful for social scientists, anthropologists, economists, historians, political scientists, psychiatrists, psychologists, sociologists and statisticians -- and for all who want to learn or verify memorable formulations and phrases concerning social thought and social theories. It is particularly useful for graduate students taking courses that examine the history of their discipline.

“Adventure is worth while in itself.”—Amelia Earhart, 1932 A fearless pioneer and a record-breaking pilot, Amelia Earhart engaged the nation and the world when she became the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic. Today people remember her most for her disappearance on the last leg of her round-the-world flight in 1937. But more than a record breaker or a ghost lost over the Pacific, Earhart was ambitious, driven, and strong at a time when all three of these traits were considered unfeminine. Earhart’s words and her example encouraged women to step beyond the narrow confines of their traditional roles. The Quotable Amelia Earhart brings together statements from a variety of sources and covers a wide range of topics, including Earhart’s flights and her opinions on politics, work, religion, and gender equality. This definitive resource provides a concise, documented collection of Earhart’s quotations so that her words, as well as her achievements, may inspire a new generation.

In I Wish I Hadn't Said That we see just how much the experts don't know. 'No woman in my lifetime will be Prime Minister' Margaret Thatcher
