A History of Economic Theory: Classic Contributions, 1720-1980A History of Economic Theory offers a comprehensive account of the builders and building blocks of modern mainstream economics. Jurg Niehans shows how the analytical tools used by economists have evolved from the eighteenth century to the present. Niehans first surveys the development of classical economics from the scholastic and mercantilist traditions to Marx. He then follows the progress of marginalist economics from Thunen to Fischer. In the book's final section, he describes economic theory in the model-building era from Pigou and Keynes to Rational Expectations.Building his story around the economists themselves, Niehans presents a pantheon of economic theory. It includes the famous from Smith and Riccardo to Samuelson and Friedman, as well as detailed discussions of lesser-known figures who have nevertheless made classic contributions. For each theorist Niehans offers a biographical sketch followed by a description, interpretation, and critical assessment of his work. With the current revival of interest in the history of economics, economists will find A History of Economic Theory not only a rich source of information but also a challenging analysis of the dynamics of scientific progress.ISBN 10: 0801849764ISBN 13: 9780801849763
A History of Economic ThoughtLionel Robbins's now famous lectures on the history of economic thought comprise one of the greatest accounts since World War II of the evolution of economic ideas. This volume represents the first time those lectures have been published.Lord Robbins (1898-1984) was a remarkably accomplished thinker, writer, and public figure. He made important contributions to economic theory, methodology, and policy analysis, directed the economic section of Winston Churchill's War Cabinet, and served as chairman of the Financial Times. As a historian of economic ideas, he ranks with Joseph Schumpeter and Jacob Viner as one of the foremost scholars of the century. These lectures, delivered at the London School of Economics between 1979 and 1981 and tape-recorded by Robbins's grandson, display his mastery of the intellectual history of economics, his infectious enthusiasm for the subject, and his eloquence and incisive wit. They cover a broad chronological range, beginning with Plato, Aristotle, and Aquinas, focusing extensively on Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus and the classicals, and finishing with a discussion of moderns and marginalists from Marx to Alfred Marshall. Robbins takes a varied and inclusive approach to intellectual history. As he says in his first lecture: "I shall go my own sweet way--sometimes talk about doctrine, sometimes talk about persons, sometimes talk about periods." The lectures are united by Robbins's conviction that it is impossible to understand adequately contemporary institutions and social sciences without understanding the ideas behind their development.Authoritative yet accessible, combining the immediacy of the spoken word with Robbins's exceptional talent for clear, well-organized exposition, this volume will be welcomed by anyone interested in the intellectual origins of the modern world.ISBN 10: 0691070148ISBN 13: 9780691070148
A History of Literacy Education: Waves of Research and PracticeIn this volume, two notable scholars trace the monumental shifts in theory, research, and practice related to reading education and literacy, with particular attention to what they consider the central goal of literacy—making meaning. Each section describes a specific epoch, including a brief snapshot of how the reader of that period is envisioned and characterized by researchers and teachers, as well as a deep discussion of the ideas and contextual events of that era. These developmental waves are organized in rough historical sequence by a series of shifts in underlying theoretical and scholarly lenses—from the behavioral to the psycholinguistic to the cognitive to the sociocultural to the critical to the multimodal to the global. The book closes with a discussion of the various research frames and methodological approaches that paralleled these developments. The common thread across all the chapters is making meaning. For each wave, the authors unearth and interrogate the assumptions about making meaning with text as well as the practices to promote it—whether the meaning making is inspired by print, image, sound, or some multimodal mash-up. This unique resource is a must-own for every literacy professor and graduate scholar.Book Features: Animates some of the revolutionary developments related to reading education and literacy in modern times. Each development is accompanied by a discussion of the aspirational reader that sets the stage for contemplating these shifts and their significance. Traces the research and theoretical developments to illustrate the origins of the shifts and their influences. Supported by a website with video lectures and conversations tied to the various waves of development.ISBN 10: 0807765767ISBN 13: 9780807765760
A Magia do Manuscrito. Coleção Pedro Corrêa do LagoProduct Description La escritura encierra una especie de magia que nos transporta a momentos cruciales de la historia, la creatividad y la vida cotidiana, y nos vincula íntimamente con sus protagonistas. Durante casi medio siglo, el escritor y editor brasileño Pedro Corrêa do Lago ha reunido miles de cartas, manuscritos, composiciones musicales, fotografías con anotaciones y dibujos, entre otros, en una de las colecciones de documentos escritos a mano más completas de nuestro tiempo.Desde un pergamino de 1153 con la rúbrica de cuatro papas medievales hasta la firma de Stephen Hawking en 2006, compuesta por una impresión de la huella de su pulgar, los elementos que aquí se recogen abarcan casi 900 años de historia, y nos acercan a escritores, artistas, compositores, figuras políticas, intérpretes, exploradores, científicos, filósofos y revolucionarios cuyas acciones y creaciones los convirtieron en leyendas.En lugar de centrarse en un solo tema o una única época, Corrêa do Lago tomó la ambiciosa decisión de buscar documentos autógrafos importantes pertenecientes a ocho grandes áreas: arte, historia, literatura, ciencia, música, filosofía, exploración y entretenimiento. Los 140 extraordinarios documentos seleccionados para este libro, exhibidos por primera vez en una importante exposición en la Morgan Library and Museum de Nueva York, incluyen cartas de Lucrecia Borgia, Vincent van Gogh y Emily Dickinson, bocetos con anotaciones de Miguel Ángel, Jean Cocteau y Charlie Chaplin, y manuscritos de Giacomo Puccini, Jorge Luis Borges y Marcel Proust.La escritura a mano es uno de los medios más viscerales con los que dejamos huella de nuestra existencia.

Beyond the Hoax: Science, Philosophy and CultureFamed for his 1996 hoax that parodied the extreme postmodernist criticism of science, Alan Sokal here exposes many other examples of charlatanism, deflating the postmodernists of the left, the fundamentalists of the right, and the muddle-headed of all political and apolitical stripes. Sokal does revisit his infamous hoax-the original article is included in the book, with new explanatory footnotes-to illuminate issues that are with us even more pressingly today. But the book ranges far beyond this one famous case, to reveal for instance how conservative politicians and industry executives are happily manipulating the vaporous tenets of postmodernism to obscure the scientific consensus on global warming, biological evolution, second-hand smoke, and a host of other issues. Written with rare lucidity, a lively wit, and a keen appreciation of the real-world consequences of sloppy thinking, Beyond the Hoax offers an engaging argument for the vital importance of evidence-based science, showing that clear thinking, combined with a respect for evidence, are of the utmost importance to the survival of the human race.ISBN 10: 0199561834ISBN 13: 9780199561834

Conceptual Profiles: A Theory of Teaching and Learning Scientific Concepts -Contemporary Trends and Issues in Science EducationThe language of science has many words and phrases whose meaning either changes in differing contexts or alters to reflect developments in a given discipline. This book presents the authors’ theories on using ‘conceptual profiles’ to make the teaching of context-dependent meanings more effective. Developed over two decades, their theory begins with a recognition of the coexistence in the students’ discourse of those alternative meanings, even in the case of scientific concepts such as molecule, where the dissonance between the classical and modern views of the same phenomenon is an accepted norm. What began as an alternative model of conceptual change has evolved to incorporate a sociocultural approach, by drawing on ideas such as situated cognition and Vygotsky’s influential concept of culturally located learning. Also informed by pragmatist philosophy, the approach has grown into a well-rounded theory of teaching and learning scientific concepts. The authors have taken the opportunity in this book to develop their ideas further, anticipate and respond to criticisms-that of relativism, for example-and explain how their theory can be applied to analyze the teaching of core concepts in science such as heat and temperature, life and biological adaptation. They also report on the implementation of a research program that correlates the responsiveness of their methodology to all the main developments in the field of science education. This additional material will inform academic discussion, review, and further enhancement of their theory and research model.ISBN 10: 9048192455ISBN 13: 9789048192458
