Wright Mills is best remembered for his highly acclaimed work The Sociological Imagination, in which he set forth his views on how social science should be pursued. Hailed upon publication as a cogent and hard-hitting critique, The Sociological Imagination took issue with the ascendant schools of sociology in the United States, calling for a humanist sociology connecting the social, personal, and historical dimensions of our lives. The sociological imagination Mills calls for is a sociological vision, a way of looking at the world that can see links between the apparently private problems of the individual and important social issues.

    Fanon uses the fifth year of the Algerian Revolution as a point of departure for an explication of the inevitable dynamics of colonial oppression.

    This book explores the realm of human behavior in social situations and the way that we appear to others. Dr. Goffman uses the metaphor of theatrical performance as a framework. Each person in everyday social intercourse presents himself and his activity to others, attempts to guide and control the impressions they form of him, and employs certain techniques in order to sustain his performance, just as an actor presents a character to an audience. The discussions of these social techniques offered here are based upon detailed research and observation of social customs in many regions.

    Some chapters have been rewritten, making topics such as conjugation and nucleophilic substitution more accessible. Problems are provided which challenge the readers' understanding. read.

    The account of each construction is fully documented with examples drawn from the series of authors from Plautus to Tacitus. An attempt has been made to substitute, as far as possible, historical explanation for the statistical rules usually found in textbooks on composition which inevitably leave a litter of unexplained exceptions. The book aims to equip students to interpret texts as well as to write correct Latin, and the index of passages quoted may make it useful as a work of reference for teachers.The order of presentation represents a compromise between the order followed in exhaustive scientific grammars, which tend to deal with each construction in a watertight compartment, and that of the average text-book on composition, which bears no relation to the historical order of development. For example, the chapter on the independent uses of the subjunctive is put before those dealing with the subordinate uses derived therefrom, but the series of chapters on the uses of the cases is interrupted by a chapter on the infinitive and the accusative and infinitive of oratio obliqua. This is not done merely for the sake of variety, but to enable any teacher who wishes to compose his own exercises in composition to introduce indirect reports at an early stage.

    

    That alcohol is the word for an ancient Arabic cosmetic? That petroleum in Latin is “olive oil from a rock”? That a nucleus is a "little nut” or that deoxyribonucleic acid simply means . . . ? Well, read the book and see.The vocabulary of Science has always been a forbidding one, bristling with many-syllabled words and odd, unfamiliar terms. Now Professor Asimov has opened up this language to the ordinary reader by conducting an informal exploration into the roots and histories of hundreds of scientific terms.The result is a really fascinating book that combines a vast quantity of scientific information with an equal amount of language history. Even the longest tongue-twisters have simple origins if you go back far enough; and Professor Asimov makes each discovery of the origins of a word a sort of detective story that can’t fail to stimulate the reader’s interest.This is a perfect book to dip into again and again. Not only is it entertaining in its own right, but it is also a wonderful introduction to what should become the popular indoor sport of word-chasing. A complete index to the more than 1500 terms covered makes it a unique reference book as well.

    He shows the inadequacy of religion to capture the living, endlessly variable ways and traditions in which religious faith presents itself in the world.

    Appreciating the danger Shakespeare faced in writing at a time of major religious intolerance, this fresh examination demonstrates how subtly his plays allegorically explore aspects of the perennial philosophy. In doing so, it argues, Shakespeare raises the fundamental question of ethics. Both thought provoking and persuasive, this book also contrasts Hamlet with Measure for Measure and Othello with The Winter’s Tale in order to expose the dilemmas that confront its heroes.
