Modern Science and the Capriciousness of Nature (Hardcover, 2006 ed.): K. Rogers Modern Science and the Capriciousness of Nature (Hardcover, 2006 ed.)
K. Rogers
R1,467 Discovery Miles 14 670 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Natural disasters remind us of the capricious power of Nature. This book questions the way that modern science and technology are represented as the means to liberate human beings from the arbitrary natural imposition of forces beyond our control. Modern science is implicated in a societal gamble on the construction of a technological society to replace the natural world with a supposedly better artificial one. The author questions the rationality of this societal gamble and its implications for our lives.

Life and Death in the Delta - African American Narratives of Violence, Resilience, and Social Change (Hardcover, 2006 ed.): K.... Life and Death in the Delta - African American Narratives of Violence, Resilience, and Social Change (Hardcover, 2006 ed.)
K. Rogers
R1,474 Discovery Miles 14 740 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Based on oral histories with African American activists and community leaders, Life and Death in the Delta explores the civil rights movement in several Mississippi communities in the context of the region's history of white supremacy, racial oppression, and African American cultural vitality. Terrorism, black poverty, and economic exploitation produced a condition of collective trauma and social suffering for thousands of black Deltans in the Twentieth Century. This work reveals the impact of that oppression, and of African American traditions of community service and leadership in the lives of women and men who became activists. The result is a sweeping history, told through the voices of ordinary people, of how the civil rights movement operated on a local level: the circumstances that made it thrive, the problems it faced, and the dangers participants encountered on a daily basis.

On the Metaphysics of Experimental Physics (Hardcover, 2005 ed.): K. Rogers On the Metaphysics of Experimental Physics (Hardcover, 2005 ed.)
K. Rogers
R1,475 Discovery Miles 14 750 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This provocative and critical work addresses the question of why scientific realists and positivists consider experimental physics to be a natural and empirical science. Taking insights from contemporary science studies, continental philosophy, and the history of physics, this book describes and analyses the metaphysical presuppositions that underwrite the technological use of experimental apparatus and instruments to explore, model, and understand nature. By revealing this metaphysical foundation, the author questions whether experimental physics is a natural and empirical science at all.

The Attention Complex - Media, Archeology, Method (Hardcover): K. Rogers The Attention Complex - Media, Archeology, Method (Hardcover)
K. Rogers
R3,345 Discovery Miles 33 450 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In recent years, a pronounced transformation of human attention has been taking place. From the epidemic diagnoses of ADHD to the calculable metrics of the 'attention economy, ' a groundswell of discourses have intensified scrutiny on attention as a social problem that cuts across psychology, economics, art and design, media technology, popular culture, and the experience of everyday life. Kenneth Rogers takes the vital first step in the project of mapping out the complex of power relations that surround and support the proliferating technologies, knowledge systems, and social practices of attention. By unfolding the dramatic historical development of attention's successive disappearance, return, and transformation within formal scientific knowledge, he arrives at a better understanding how the vestiges of political power deeply inform the rise of new attention technologies and the pervasive social and cultural uses of attention in today's society.
