This volume takes a more comprehensive view of past familial
dynamics than has been previously attempted. By applying
interdisciplinary perspectives to periods ranging from the
Prehistoric to the Modern, it informs a wider understanding of the
term family, and the implications of family dynamics for children
and their social networks in the past. Contributors drawn from
across the humanities and social sciences present research
addressing three primary themes: modes of kinship and familial
structure, the convergence and divergence between the idealised
image and realities of family life, and the provision of care
within families. These themes are interconnected, as the idea and
image of family shapes familial structure, which in turn defines
the type of care and protection that families provide to their
members. The papers in this volume provide new research to
challenge assumptions and provoke new ways of thinking about past
families as functionally adaptive, socially connected, and
ideologically powerful units of society, just as they are in the
present. A broad focus on the networks created by familial units
also allows the experiences of historically underrepresented women
and children to be highlighted in a way that underlines their
interconnectedness with all members of past societies. The Family
in Past Perspective builds a much-needed bridge across disciplinary
boundaries. The wide scope of the book hmakes important
contributions, and informs fields ranging from bioarchaeology to
women's history and childhood studies.
Introductory Analysis: An Inquiry Approach aims to provide a
self-contained, inquiry-oriented approach to undergraduate-level
real analysis. The presentation of the material in the book is
intended to be "inquiry-oriented'" in that as each major topic is
discussed, details of the proofs are left to the student in a way
that encourages an active approach to learning. The book is
"self-contained" in two major ways: it includes scaffolding (i.e.,
brief guiding prompts marked as Key Steps in the Proof) for many of
the theorems. Second, it includes preliminary material that
introduces students to the fundamental framework of logical
reasoning and proof-writing techniques. Students will be able to
use the guiding prompts (and refer to the preliminary work) to
develop their proof-writing skills. Features Structured in such a
way that approximately one week of class can be devoted to each
chapter Suitable as a primary text for undergraduates, or as a
supplementary text for some postgraduate courses Strikes a unique
balance between enquiry-based learning and more traditional
approaches to teaching
