Alexander A. Bauer, Anna S. Agbe-Davies
R1,242 Discovery Miles 12 420 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This volume focuses on the anthropological concept of trade as a fundamentally social activity concerned not only with the movement of goods, but also on the social context and consequences of that exchange. The distinguished contributors discuss trade on a range of scales--from a solitary confinement cell to trans-oceanic networks--in settings around the world and over the past 3000 years. They address themes such as exchange as a communicative act, the ways in which exchange transforms the relationship between people and things, the significance of agency and power in contexts of trade, and how sites of consumption and discard speak to processes of exchange. The volume merges traditional archaeological concerns about trade and exchange with more contemporary issues of agency, identity and social meaning.

In recent years there has been a tremendous upsurge of interest in manufac turing systems design and analysis. Large industrial companies have realized that their manufacturing facilities can be a source of tremendous opportunity if managed well or a huge corporate liability if managed poorly. In particular industrial managers have realized the potential of well designed and installed production planning and control systems. Manufacturing, in an environment of short product life cycles and increasing product diversity, looks to tech niques such as manufacturing resource planning, Just In Time (lIT) and total quality control among others to meet the challenge. Customers are demanding high quality products and very fast turn around on orders. Manufacturing personnel are aware of the lead time from receipt of order to delivery of completed orders at the customer's premises. It is clear that this production lead time is, for the majority of manufacturing firms, greatly in excess of the actual processing or manufacturing time. There are many reasons for this, among them poor coordination between the sales and manufacturing function. Some are within the control of the manufacturing function. Others are not."

Die mit dem Bohrschen Atommodell verknfipfte, heute bereits klassisch gewordene Quantentheorie wird getragen von der Vorstellung der Teilchenstruktur der Atome und ihrer Bestandteile. Der Anwendbarkeit der fiir Massenpunkte gfiltigen mechanischen Gesetze erscheinen keine Grenzen gezogen, sie werden auch fiir atomare Teilchen als gilltig angenommen. Man redet von Elek- tronenbahnen in derselben Weise, wie man von Bahnen der Ge- schosse und Planeten redet. Daneben besteht ohne jede Beziehung die Vorstellung von Wellen, die insbesondere fiir das Licht und aIle Strahlungsvorgange im Ather gilt. Der Photo- und der Compton-E//ekt zeigen zwar deutlich, daB gelegentlich auch dem Licht die Struktur von Teilchen (Lichtquanten oder Photonen) zu- kommt, doch kann man diese Merkwiirdigkeit vom Standpunkt der klassischen Quantentheorie nicht verstehen. Erst die neue Quanten- oder Wellenmechanik vermag uns Rechenschaft fiber diese Doppelnatur des Lichtes zu geben, ja sie fordert sie sogar fiir die gesamte M aterie, die uns bald in der Gestalt von Teilchen, bald in der von Wellen entgegentritt. Sie gibt uns dabei zugleich eine Anweisung, wann wir die eine oder die andere Erscheinungs- form zu erwarten haben. Gerade in den atomaren Ausdehnungen liegt die GiUtigkeitsgrenze der klassischen Mechanik, die - ahnlich wie die Strahlenoptik im Bereiche der Wellenlangen des Lichtes durch die Wellenoptik - im Bereiche der Atome durch die Wellen- mechanik ersetzt werden muB. Eine eindrucksvolle Bestatigung erfahrt diese Auffassung durch die Elektronenbeugung an Kri- stallen, die den Wellencharakter der Elektronen auBer Zweifel setzt und damit die schon frUher beim Licht erkannte Doppelnatur auch fiir atomare Teilchen offenbart.

Als vor nunmehr fast 3 Jahren die Verlagsbuchhandlung anregte, das Gesamtwissen urn die physikalischen und technologischen Eigen schaften des Magnesiums und seiner Legierungen zu sammeln und in handbuchmi1Biger Darstellung dem taglich groBer werdenden Kreis der jenigen, die irgendwie an diesem Werkstoff interessiert sind, zuganglich zu machen, sprach sie dadurch einen Gedanken aus, den wohl jeder von uns in irgendeiner Form schon selbst gehabt und auch schon mit dem einen oder anderen seiner Kollegen durchgesprochen hatte. W enn diese Absicht bisher nicht zur Durchfiihrung gekommen ist, so wohl nur aus zwei allerdings sehr triftigen Grunden: Zunachst einmal gab es noch viele Fragen - weniger solche der Verarbeitung und Ver wendung als vor allem der physikalischen Eigenschaften -, die noch zu klaren waren, urn ein einigermaBen abgerundetes Bild zu geben; kurz gesagt, uns allen schien die Zeit fiir eine zusammenfassende Dar stellung noch nicht gekommen zu sein. Die zweite ebenso wichtige Frage, die sofort bei dem leisen Gedanken an eine groBere literarische Arbeit auftauchen muBte, war die: Wie soll man die Zeit finden, urn neben der beruflichen Dberlastung noch in sparlichen Urlaubstagen oder an freien Abendstunden ein Buch zu schreiben? Einer allein hatte es wohl nie fertiggebracht, denn wenn die Geschwindigkeit, mit der ein Manu skript ausgearbeitet wird, geringer ist als die, mit der die Entwicklung des betreffenden Gebietes voranschreitet, so wird das Buch janie fertig."

Welcome to the world of Kenneth A. Bauer and his many "crash landings" throughout life. Ken grew up in a time when a neighborhood was a mysterious playground waiting to be explored. A time when spending Saturday afternoons at the local movie theater with his friends inspired many adventures. One week Ken was Robin Hood hunting the neighbor's chickens in a corn patch, while another time he was digging tunnels under another neighbor's garden. Surviving his busy, early child-hood developed Ken's lifetime motto, "How tough could it be?" While in high school, Ken bought an airplane for $5 down and got his pilot's license at age sixteen, leading to many more adventures. His healthy curiosity got him into trouble at times, like nearly blowing up the school janitor in a cloud of purple smoke due to his overzealous passion for chemistry As time went by Ken continued to apply his motto in school and then into his business dealings. Like many of his generation, Ken learned to create something out of nothing. He developed innovative, creative solutions for seemingly impossible scenarios and managed to maneuver through some sticky situations, escaping on a wing and a prayer. Where Ken really excelled was reinventing himself when times got tough; thus, resulting in multiple career changes and a variety of entertaining adventures. Ken accomplished many things in life with a positive attitude and excellent work ethic. He would discover that many things in his life turned out successfully, a few not so much, and others were just downright funny. This collection of short stories invites the reader to a time when Americans experienced scarcity rather than the abundance we know today. Because Ken's childhood and young adult life spanned from the mid 1930's into the 1950's, falling on hard times meant something entirely different back then. But even as far back as five years old, Ken managed to find amusement in his world. Now he invites you to enjoy his many tales, the way he has told them to his audiences for decades.

R1,576 Discovery Miles 15 760 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

Trotz zahlreicher Hinweise darauf, dass verschiedene Messarten sozialer Herkunft zu Unterschieden bei der Erfassung herkunftsspezifischer Disparitaten der Bildungsbeteiligung fuhren, werden soziale Ungleichheiten in der Bildungsforschung uberwiegend eindimensional gemessen. Der tatsachliche Umfang von Bildungsungleichheiten bleibt dabei unerforscht sowie auch deren Erklarung. Besonders betroffen ist die Untersuchung von Prozessen kultureller Reproduktion nach Bourdieu, welche bei der UEbersetzung in quantitative Konstrukte auf beinahe wahllos herangezogene Einzelaspekte reduziert werden. Folglich bleibt ungeklart, wann kulturelles Kapital als angemessener Indikator fur das Zustandekommen von sozialen Ungleichheiten im Bildungssystem heranzuziehen ist. Dieses Buch widmet sich der Frage, wie die Konzeptualisierung sozialer Herkunft den Einfluss kulturellen Kapitals auf soziale Disparitaten der Studienintention verandert. Es zeigt sich, dass unterschiedliche Masse der sozialen Herkunft zu Unterschieden bei der Erklarung sozialer Ungleichheiten am Hochschulzugang durch kulturelles Kapital fuhren. Verschiedene Formen des Kulturkapitals koennen sowohl als Indikator wie auch als Erklarung fur soziale Ungleichheiten dienen.

Social Indicators (Paperback, New Ed): Raymond A. Bauer Social Indicators (Paperback, New Ed)
Raymond A. Bauer
R1,323 Discovery Miles 13 230 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

The focus of this volume is nothing less than the entire set of social indicators -- statistics, statistical series, and all other forms of evidence -- that enable us to assess where we stand and where we are going with respect to our values and goals and to evaluate specific programs and determine their impact. The kind of social indicators called for in this volume require an abandonment of the Ptolemaic perspective that sees the world revolving around us and require instead a kind of Copernican revolution through which we may better "regard our decisions as involving the total social system, and not only that part of it which revolves around our own persons."Historically, this book can be compared with the earlier efforts of economists to create a stable and useful set of economic indicators. But the problem with economic indicators is that they deal not with the quality of life but rather with the quantity of goods and dollars. True social indicators can function as a guide for economic indicators. Clearly, the implications of the development of social indicators are revolutionary.This pioneering work is intended specifically to state the full dimensions of the problem, to evaluate the present state of the art, and to make specific proposals for where we might go from here.
