Quick Functional Programming (Hardcover): David Matuszek Quick Functional Programming (Hardcover)
David Matuszek
R2,421 Discovery Miles 24 210 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Why learn functional programming? Isn't that some complicated ivory-tower technique used only in obscure languages like Haskell? In fact, functional programming is actually very simple. It's also very powerful, as Haskell demonstrates by throwing away all the conventional programming tools and using only functional programming features. But it doesn't have to be done that way. Functional programming is a power tool that you can use in addition to all your usual tools, to whatever extent your current mainstream language supports it. Most languages have at least basic support. In this book we use Python and Java and, as a bonus, Scala. If you prefer another language, there will be minor differences in syntax, but the concepts are the same. Give functional programming a try. You may be surprised how much a single power tool can help you in your day-to-day programming.

Spatializing Social Media - Social Networks Online and Offline (Paperback): Marco Bastos Spatializing Social Media - Social Networks Online and Offline (Paperback)
Marco Bastos
R1,239 Discovery Miles 12 390 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

Spatializing Social Media charts the theoretical and methodological challenges in analyzing and visualizing social media data mapped to geographic areas. It introduces the reader to concepts, theories, and methods that sit at the crossroads between spatial and social network analysis to unpack the conceptual differences between online and face-to-face social networks and the nonlinear effects triggered by social activity that overlaps online and offline. The book is divided into four sections, with the first accounting for the differences between space (the geometrical arrangements that structure and enable forms of interaction) and place (the mechanisms through which social meanings are attached to physical locations). The second section covers the rationale of social network analysis and the ontological differences, stating that relationships, more than individual and independent attributes, are key to understanding of social behavior. The third section covers a range of case studies that successfully mapped social media activity to geographically situated areas and considers the inflection of homophilous dependencies across online and offline social networks. The fourth and last section of the book explores a range of networks and discusses methods for and approaches to plotting a social network graph onto a map, including the purpose-built R package Spatial Social Media. The book takes a non-mathematical approach to social networks and spatial statistics suitable for postgraduate students in sociology, psychology and the social sciences.

The Graph of Desire - Using the Work of Jacques Lacan (Paperback): Alfredo Eidelsztein The Graph of Desire - Using the Work of Jacques Lacan (Paperback)
Alfredo Eidelsztein
R1,357 Discovery Miles 13 570 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This book gathers the lectures of the post-graduate course entitled "The Graph of Desire and the Psychoanalytic Clinic," held in 1993 within the framework of the Updating Program on Lacanian Psychoanalysis (Post-Graduate Secretary, Faculty of Psychology, University of Buenos Aires).Although the subject of the course was the graph of desire and its articulation with the psychoanalytical practice, the reader will find here that Lacan s article "The subversion of the subject and the dialectic of desire in the Freudian unconscious" has been intensively looked over, being paraphrased and quoted in almost every class of the course. Considering that the Spanish translation has some problems, certain terms and paragraphs from the original French version have been translated by the author, in order to try to understand what Lacan affirms.The recordings of the course lectures constitute the basis for this book; they have been barely modified, for their colloquial style will not interfere with the reading."

Experiments in Economics - Playing fair with money (Hardcover): Ananish Chaudhuri Experiments in Economics - Playing fair with money (Hardcover)
Ananish Chaudhuri
R5,243 Discovery Miles 52 430 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Are humans fair by nature? Why do we often willingly trust strangers or cooperate with them even if those actions leave us vulnerable to exploitation? Does this natural inclination towards fairness or trust have implications in the market-place? Traditional economic theory would perhaps think not, perceiving human interaction as self-interested at heart. There is increasing evidence however that social norms and norm-driven behaviour such as a preference for fairness, generosity or trust have serious implications for economics. This book provides an easily accessible overview of economic experiments, specifically those that explore the role of fairness, generosity, trust and reciprocity in economic transactions.

Ananish Chaudhuri approaches a variety of economic issues and problems including:

  • Pricing by firms
  • Writing labour contracts between parties
  • Marking voluntary contributions to charity,
  • Addressing issues of environmental pollution,
  • Providing micro-credit to small entrepreneurs,
  • Resolving problems of coordination failure in organizations.

The book discusses how norm-driven behaviour can often lead to significantly different outcomes than those predicted by economic theories and these findings should in turn cause us to re-think how we approach economic analysis and policy.

Assuming no prior knowledge of economics and containing a variety of examples, this reader friendly volume will be perfect reading for people from a wide range of backgrounds including students and policy-makers. The book should appeal to economics undergraduates studying experimental economics, microeconomics or game theory as well as students in social psychology, organizational behaviour, management and other business related disciplines.

Human Centered Organizational Culture - Global Dimensions (Paperback): Maria Teresa Lepeley, Oswaldo Morales, Peter Essens,... Human Centered Organizational Culture - Global Dimensions (Paperback)
Maria Teresa Lepeley, Oswaldo Morales, Peter Essens, Nicholas Beutell, Nicolas Majluf
R1,206 Discovery Miles 12 060 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

This book is part of the Human Centered Book Trilogy, the 2021 volumes of the Routledge Human Centered Management HCM Series. HCM books are pioneering transformation from the traditional humans-as-a-resource approach of the industrial past, to the humans at the center management and organizational paradigm of the 21st century. HCM is built on talent and wellbeing of people in the workplace driving work engagement, quality standards, high performance and productivity for long-term organizational sustainability in the global VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex, ambiguous) environment. This book was carefully crafted by recognized international human centered scholars from four continents. Although all organizations seek to have an optimal culture, unstoppable disruptions in the VUCA environment easily derail even the best efforts. Conventional assumptions of culture as a unifying organizational force are hardly defendable today. HCM maintains that culture is not only about cohesiveness and consensus but effective management of conflict and disagreements continuously testing the capacity of people to work together. This book is about organizational transformation positioning people at the center. Complementary chapters integrate as antidotes to overcome disruptions in the VUCA environment and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic affecting people and organizations worldwide. This and its two complementary titles Soft Skills for Human Centered Management and Global Sustainability and Sensible Leadership: Human Centered, Insightful and Prudent are timely readings for leaders, managers, researchers, academics, practitioners, students and the general public responsible for organizations across industries and sectors worldwide pursuing quality standards and organizational transformation to attain sustainability.

The Science of Behavior and the Image of Man (Paperback): Carl Von Clausewitz The Science of Behavior and the Image of Man (Paperback)
Carl Von Clausewitz
R1,137 R955 Discovery Miles 9 550 Save R182 (16%) Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Does a proper respect for science require psychologists to view man as an impotent reactor whose responses are completely determined by his physical constitution and the forces impinging upon him? In this wise and well-argued book, Isidor Chein invites his readers to lift their eyes from experimental research for a time to consider the relationship between science and the image of man.

Few psychologists, even the most gifted and dedicated among them, pause to consider the philosophical underpinnings of their work. It is almost as though the humanist secretly lurking in each of them is fearful of the bad news he might finally be forced to accept--that man is essentially an exquisitely complicated robot. This fear is misplaced and harmful. It is largely responsible for the disturbing fact that scientific psychology has produced, in Chein's estimate, so little that is relevant to the humanities, so little, as he puts it, "that has lived up to psychology's promise to itself."

What must be more widely understood is that it does not follow that behavioral law is reducible to physiological law, or that physiological law is reducible to physical law. With an uncompromising commitment to scientific method, Chein shows that, when closely analyzed, there is actually no need to assume an unbridgeable gap between scientific psychology and psychoanalytic, humanistic psychology. This is a lucid and powerful theoretical work of importance for scholars in all fields sharing the belief that the proper study of mankind is man.

"The Science of Behavior and the Image of Man "is written by the most intellectually stimulating and respected representative of scientific humanistic psychology.""--Robert B. Holt, Professor of Psychology, Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, "New York University"

"Isidor Chein" was professor of psychology at the Research Center for Human Relations, New York University. He is the author of "The Road to H, The Reactions of Jewish Boys to Various Aspects of Being Jewish," and "The Family of the Addict."

Fostering Employee Buy-in Through Effective Leadership Communication (Paperback): Tim P. Mcmahon Fostering Employee Buy-in Through Effective Leadership Communication (Paperback)
Tim P. Mcmahon
R1,138 Discovery Miles 11 380 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

Based on a case study of leadership communication in a time of organizational change, this book gives new leaders insights into the tools and skills needed to become effective, motivating communicators in their leadership careers. Taking a holistic approach to communication and leadership, the book argues that employees buy in to change when they collectively feel engaged in meaningful work that will enrich the lives of customers, employees, and investors. Based on ethnographic research, it approaches the topic through an absorbing fiction-like retelling of an organization's successful navigation of change against the backdrop of the 2007 mortgage crisis. In doing so, it establishes a framework for leaders to understand the principles behind how and why buy-in is generated in organizations. This unique approach allows readers to visualize leadership communication principles in practice. Fostering Employee Buy-in is ideal as a supplementary text in introductory leadership communication, management, and business courses or as a text for new leaders interested in inspiring organizational change.

Well-being and Growth in Advanced Economies - The Need to Prioritise Human Development (Hardcover): Maurizio Pugno Well-being and Growth in Advanced Economies - The Need to Prioritise Human Development (Hardcover)
Maurizio Pugno
R1,499 Discovery Miles 14 990 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

Economic growth is generally regarded by governments and most ordinary people as a panacea for all problems, including issues caused by the COVID pandemic. But this raises an important question: is further growth in advanced economies able to increase well-being once people's basic subsistence needs are met? Some advanced market economies, e.g. the United States, have exhibited a decline in well-being, both subjectively and objectively measured, over several decades despite seeing economic growth during the same period. This book provides an original and comprehensive explanation: economic growth, as driven by market forces, induces people, through both the demand- and supply-side channels, to pursue command over more material resources, and this weakens the self-generation of capabilities, putting well-being at risk of deterioration. The book argues, with the support of a variety of evidence, that the challenge can be overcome if governments' policies and people's choices pursue, as their ultimate goal, 'fundamental human development' on an evolutionary basis: the development of the capability of a typical person to conceive and share with others new purposes, to pursue them individually or collectively, and thus to contribute to building human culture. If such human development is prioritised, it makes people satisfied with their lives and resistant to adverse shocks, and it can even shape the pattern of economic growth. By contrast, if economic growth is prioritised, it tends to weaken and impoverish fundamental human development, and consequently people's well-being and social cohesion. With this volume, readers will find an answer to a problem that is both urgent and long-term, both individual and societal. The work makes a substantial contribution to the literature on wellbeing, the economics of happiness, human capital and growth, and the capability approach.

Shame-informed Counselling and Psychotherapy - Eastern and Western Perspectives (Paperback): Edmund Ng Shame-informed Counselling and Psychotherapy - Eastern and Western Perspectives (Paperback)
Edmund Ng
R1,202 Discovery Miles 12 020 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

Unhealthy or maladaptive shame is believed by many to be the root cause of a diverse range of mental health problems. If we want to offer a more reparative healing to people contending with these psychological issues, we must ultimately trace back and resolve their underlying shame. This book offers researchers practitioners and students a balance of theoretical and empirical evidence for a practical approach in shame-informed counselling and psychotherapy approach.

Using his 15 years' professional practice in the field, he offers a shame-informed counselling and psychotherapy approach which aims not merely to help the individual cope with or suppress the shame as commonly advocated in current literature, but also deals with its roots through the restructuring of core beliefs and early memories.

The Creation of Scientific Psychology (Paperback): David J. Murray, Stephen W. Link The Creation of Scientific Psychology (Paperback)
David J. Murray, Stephen W. Link
R1,208 Discovery Miles 12 080 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

With an emphasis on developments taking place in Germany during the nineteenth century, this book provides in-depth examinations of the key contributions made by the pioneers of scientific psychology. Their works brought measurement and mathematics into the study of the mind. Through unique analysis of measurement theory by Whewell, mathematical developments by Gauss, and theories of mental processes developed by Herbart, Weber, Fechner, Helmholtz, Muller, Delboeuf and others, this volume maps the beliefs, discoveries, and interactions that constitute the very origins of psychophysics and its offspring Experimental Psychology. Murray and Link expertly combine nuanced understanding of linguistic and historic factors to identify theoretical approaches to relating physicalintensities and psychological magnitudes. With an eye to interactions and influences on future work in the field, the volume illustrates the important legacy that mathematical developments in the nineteenth century have for twentieth and twenty-first century psychologists. This detailed and engaging account fills a deep gap in the history of psychology. The Creation of Scientific Psychology will appeal to researchers, academics, and students in the fields of history of psychology, psychophysics, scientific, and mathematical psychology.

Repetition and Creation - Poetics of Autotextuality (Paperback): Radosvet Kolarov Repetition and Creation - Poetics of Autotextuality (Paperback)
Radosvet Kolarov
R1,210 Discovery Miles 12 100 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

This book advances the notion of autotextuality, the dialogue between works in an author's oeuvre, and the ways in which new texts are created in self-repetition through the tracing and revisiting of past texts and the subsequent uncovering of undisclosed meanings, unexhausted constructive principles, and alternative versions. Kolarov draws on cognitive models, such as dual coding theory and conceptual blending, to substantiate a theory of autotextuality and build on previous work on self-repetition and difference to highlight the notion of "discursive desire," in which new meanings are generated through repetition, and its distinct relationship to creativity. Drawing on analyses of well-established works in Bulgarian as well as the established oeuvres of such authors as Gogol, Dostoevsky, Kafka, and Baudelaire, the volume explores key themes in autotextuality such as the functions of creative memory, the connections between word and image, and the hermeneutic relationships and steps of transformation between texts. This innovative work addresses topical questions of importance in literary theory today and will be of interest to students and scholars in literary studies and related areas of study within such fields as cognitive science, quantum mechanics, and psychology.

Expatriates and Managing Global Mobility (Paperback): Soo Min Toh, Angelo Denisi Expatriates and Managing Global Mobility (Paperback)
Soo Min Toh, Angelo Denisi
R1,408 Discovery Miles 14 080 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

Multinational enterprises continue to rely heavily upon expatriates as part of their global workforce. These expatriates, whose exact employment contract may take different forms, are assigned to help them develop global skills as well as to foster knowledge transfer. But managing this expatriate workforce is extremely complex, requiring a questioning of assumptions and sensitivity to new social and cultural dynamics. This book sets out to examine the problem of expatriate management through an I/O Psychology lens. Each chapter draws upon the expertise of scholars from around the world to provide insights into the latest research findings and remaining needs, pertaining to a wide variety of issues. The contributors of this book review the current state of the research of the issue at hand and then make recommendations for where the new frontiers of the research should be in the coming decades. This volume covers four sets of issues pertaining to expatriate management and global mobility in depth. First, the different decision points organizations must make about assigning someone to an overseas location for some period of time; second the different categories of employees in the multinational corporation and their unique characteristics and challenges; third, the various issues and implications of managing a globally mobile workforce; and fourth, the unique contexts of global mobility. Overarching future research themes are identified that lay out the research agenda for the coming decades. By bringing together key research, this book aims to help I/O psychologists understand, explore, and identify new ways of contributing to the understanding of the issues involved in managing an expatriate workforce. Incorporating state-of-the art I/O psychology research in this unique context bears the promise of yielding important new paradigms and practices.
