Interpreting Interviews (Hardcover, 2nd Revised edition): Mats Alvesson Interpreting Interviews (Hardcover, 2nd Revised edition)
Mats Alvesson
R2,629 Discovery Miles 26 290 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Through the use of eight original metaphors for understanding what may happen in interviews and what may guide the interviewee (more than telling the truth or revealing experiences), the reader is encouraged to do interviews in clever ways. This text enables you to question the interpretive nature and theoretical underpinnings of the interview method, and of the knowledge which is conveyed through it. The updated second edition includes new content on: • How to avoid traps in interviews  • How to use interviewees with experience and insight  • How to work creatively with generative material • The value of repeat interviewing over time  • The importance of supplementing interviews with other methods • Possibilities of interview-based research accompanied by examples This text is essential reading for upper undergraduate and postgraduate students of qualitative methods, and researchers looking to more clearly conceptualize their interviewing practice and explore its theoretical basis. Mats Alvesson is professor at University of Bath and is also affiliated with Lund University, Stockholm School of Economics and Bayes Business School.

Experiment! – Planning, Implementing and Interpreting (Paperback): Oivind Andersson Experiment! – Planning, Implementing and Interpreting (Paperback)
Oivind Andersson
R1,186 Discovery Miles 11 860 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Experiments are the most effective way to learn about the world. By cleverly interfering with something to see how it reacts we are able to find out how it works. In contrast to passive observation, experimenting provides us with data relevant to our research and thus less time and effort is spent separating relevant from irrelevant information.

The art of experimentation is often learnt by doing, so an intuitive understanding of the experimental method usually evolves gradually through years of trial and error. This book speeds up the journey for the reader to becoming a proficient experimenter.

Organized in two parts, this unique text begins by providing a general introduction to the scientific approach to experimentation. It then describes the processes and tools required, including the relevant statistical and experimental methods. Towards the end of the book a methodology is presented, which leads the reader through the three phases of an experiment: 'Planning', 'Data Collection', and 'Analysis and Synthesis'.

Experiment Provides an excellent introduction to the methodology and implementation of experimentation in the natural, engineering and medical sciencesPuts practical tools into scientific contextFeatures a number of selected actual experiments to explore what are the key characteristics of good experimentsIncludes examples and exercises in every chapter

This book focuses on general research skills, such as adopting a scientific mindset, learning how to plan meaningful experiments and understanding the fundamentals of collecting and interpreting data. It is directed to anyone engaged in experiments, especially Ph.D. and masters students just starting to create and develop their own experiments.

The Kabbalistic Tree / ×”×ילן הקבלי (Hardcover): J. H. Chajes The Kabbalistic Tree / ×”×ילן הקבלי (Hardcover)
J. H. Chajes
R2,332 Discovery Miles 23 320 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Ilanot—parchment sheets presenting the kabbalistic “tree of lifeâ€â€”have been at the center of Jewish mystical practice for the past seven hundred years. Written by leading ilanot expert J. H. Chajes, The Kabbalistic Tree is a comprehensive and gorgeously illustrated history of these arboreal “maps of God.†This book documents when, where, and why Jews began to visualize and to draw the mystical shape of the Divine as a Porphyrian tree. At once maps, mandalas, and memory palaces, ilanot provided kabbalists with diagrammatic representations of their structured image of God. Scrolling an ilan parchment in contemplative study, the kabbalist participated mimetically in tikkun, the development and perfection of Divinity. Chajes reveals the complex lore behind these objects. His survey begins with the classical ilanot of pre-expulsion Spain, Byzantine Crete, Kurdistan, Yemen, and Renaissance Italy. A close examination of the ilanot inspired by the Kabbalah taught by R. Isaac Luria in sixteenth-century Safed follows, and Chajes concludes with explorations of modern ilan amulets and printed ilanot. With attention to the contexts of their creation and how they were used, The Kabbalistic Tree investigates ilanot from collections around the world, including forty from the incomparable Gross Family Collection. With 250 never-before-seen images reproduced in stunning quality, this chronological and typological survey is a singular combination of exquisite art and foundational scholarship. Specialists in early modern history, religion, art history, and esotericism, as well as those fascinated by Kabbalah and its iconography, will enthusiastically embrace Chajes’s iconic work.

Wat het ’n geheime organisasie en ’n kultus met korrupsie in hoë plekke te doen?

Vyf meisies is reeds gemartel en vermoor voordat Renata Malan en haar span deur die polisie gekontrakteer word om ’n nuwe geval te ondersoek. Elke geval is doelbewus geplant sodat dit ontdek móés word en die modus operandi laat geen twyfel dat dit ’n reeks is nie.

Maar die spoor is koud. Identifikasie is onmoontlik vanweë hu gesigbeserings. Dit maak slagofferprofilering onmoontlik, want hoe vang mens ’n moordenaar as jy nie weet wie die slagoffers is of waar hulle vermoor is nie? Die enigste ander leidraad is ’n belofte van nog ’n moord oor drie en dertig dae.

Toe die outistiese forensiese beeldhouer in hegtenis geneem word, gaan rooi ligte aan vir Renata, en sy en haar span delf dieper. Word iets toegesmeer? Speel die obskure Noagsgemeente dalk ’n rol? Tot watter mate sal die Vrymesselaars een van hulle lede beskerm? Wat weet Mistress Raven, die eienares van die kerker waarin sado-masochiste hul seksspeletjies beoefen? En wat sal die versteurde Chanté Naudé-Mulder nóg doen om Stefan deel van haar lewe te maak?

Lam ter slagting vertel die verhaal van korrupsie, mensehandel, geldwassery, bissare seks en ’n buitensporige magsdrang teen die agtergrond van die donker bedrywighede van ’n kultus en die geheimhouding eie aan die hoogste graad van Vrymesselary.

The Beginning of Heaven and Earth Has No Name - Seven Days with Second-Order Cybernetics (Paperback): Heinz Von Foerster The Beginning of Heaven and Earth Has No Name - Seven Days with Second-Order Cybernetics (Paperback)
Heinz Von Foerster; Edited by Albert Müller, Karl H. Müller; Translated by Elinor Rooks, Michael Kasenbacher
R803 Discovery Miles 8 030 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Heinz von Foerster was the inventor of second-order cybernetics, which recognizes the investigator as part of the system he is investigating. The Beginning of Heaven and Earth Has No Name provides an accessible, nonmathematical, and comprehensive overview of von Foerster's cybernetic ideas and of the philosophy latent within them. It distills concepts scattered across the lifework of this scientific polymath and influential interdisciplinarian. At the same time, as a book-length interview, it does justice to von Foerster's elan as a speaker and improviser, his skill as a raconteur.
Developed from a week-long conversation between the editors and von Foerster near the end of his life, this work playfully engages von Foerster in developing the difference his notion of second-order cybernetics makes for topics ranging from emergence, life, order, and thermodynamics to observation, recursion, cognition, perception, memory, and communication.
The book gives an English-speaking audience a new ease of access to the rich thought and generous spirit of this remarkable and protean thinker.

Coding Care: Towards a Technology for Nature brings together contributions from renowned authors and artists who are particularly concerned with nature and our environment. In doing so, they raise the question of how we can use technology to better understand nature and shape coexistence in a sustainable way - especially in regions that are not yet fully technologized. In this sense, coding should be understood as a form of caring, a substitute for what technology can contribute to the future in each specific cultural and regional context.
