The Social Dimension of Social Housing Spectormag GbR

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

Gesellschaftliche Debatten über Wohnverhältnisse und Wohnungsbau werden inzwischen in weiten Teilen der Welt mit großer Dringlichkeit geführt - womit auch die Frage nach sozialem Wohnungsbau erneut ins Zentrum der öffentlichen Diskussion rückt. Unklar ist allerdings, was eigentlich das "Soziale" des sozialen Wohnungsbaus ausmachen soll. Dieses Buch will unser Wissen über sozialen Wohnungsbau vermehren und eine Diskussion anstoßen, worauf die Charakterisierung "sozial" verweist (oder verweisen soll). Es ist eine Einladung zu einer Reise über Kontinente und durch Konzepte, ein Kaleidoskop sozialer, politischer und kultureller Realitäten. 20 kurze Essays beschreiben anhand von Fallstudien aus verschiedenen Ländern das soziale Leben in Sozialwohnungen. Zehn Theoriekapitel reflektieren aus der Perspektive unterschiedlicher Disziplinen die globalen Herausforderungen, zu deren Bewältigung in den Beispielen jeweils lokale Ansätze gefunden werden: Migration und Mobilität, soziale Ungleichheit und soziale Gerechtigkeit, veränderte Haushaltsstrukturen, (Re-)Konstruktionen von Familie, neue Technologien und die Neuverteilung von Care-Aufgaben. Simon Güntner ist Professor für Raumsoziologie an der TU Wien. Juma Hauser arbeitet als Konzeptkünstlerin und Gestalterin in Wien. Judith M. Lehner arbeitet als Architektin und Stadtforscherin am Research Center New Social Housing an der TU Wien. Christoph Reinprecht ist Professor für Soziologie an der Universität Wien.--Housing has become a key concern in most parts of today's world, putting social housing again at the centre of public debate. However, it is not clear what the "social" in social housing actually means. This book sets out to increase our knowledge about social housing and stimulate an ongoing discussion about what the social refers to (or is meant to refer to). The book invites you on a journey across continents and concepts, offering up a kaleidoscope of social, political, and cultural realities. Twenty short essays, based on case studies from around the world, describe and illustrate the social life in social housing. Ten theoretical chapters, written from the perspective of different disciplines, reflect on the global challenges behind the local responses which the cases represent: migration and mobility, issues of social inequality and social justice, changing household patterns, family (re)constructions, new technologies, and care arrangements. Simon Güntner is a professor of spatial sociology, TU Wien. Juma Hauser is a conceptual artist and designer based in Vienna. Judith M. Lehner is an architect and urban researcher at the Research Centre for New Social Housing, TU Wien. Christoph Reinprecht is a professor of sociology, University of Vienna

Just-in-Time Algebra Review: A new feature in this edition are algebra "boxes" in the margin that remind students of key facts and procedures, such as the quadratic formula, at the point in the material that such procedures will be useful. For students needing additional work on algebra topics, an extensive algebra review is included in an appendix. This appendix includes worked examples and applied practice problems for the student. Students are advised throughout the text when it might be appropriate to consult this material. |Focused Topic Coverage: The focus of the text has been sharpened by eliminating topics not covered in many courses. Chapter 8, Sequences and Series, and Chapter 9, Trigonometric Functions, of the sixth edition have been removed from the seventh edition.|Realistic Examples: Each topic in the textbook is motivated by realistic worked examples. Many new practical examples have been added to the Seventh Edition, and many existing examples have been modified throughout the text. In particular, examples introducing key topics such as the limit, the derivative, and the integral have been carefully rewritten with an eye toward realism.|NetTutor: Now, let your students access real-time math tutoring on-line! NetTutor is a revolutionary new web-based learning environment for the live dissemination of mathematical content. NetTutor offers your students live, personalized tutoring via the internet.

NetTutor is FREE and an invaluable aid for all students: it's the study partner who always has the answer.|Applications: Solving applied problems is the core focus of an applied calculus course. The authors believe that topics should be applied to practical problems very soon after they are introduced, and a strong attempt has been made to put this belief into effect in the eighth edition. methods are provided for dealing both with both routine computations and practical problems. These problem-solving methods and strategies are introduced in examples and are followed by both end of section exercises and extensive set of review problems at the end of each chapter. All concepts covered in the text are applied to a variety of practical situations from business and economics and the social, managerial, environmental, and life sciences. For easy reference, an applications index is also provided.|Referenced Examples and Exercises: Every chapter includes a number of referenced examples and problems that are based on journal articles or information found in texts. Some of these problems are routine and others challenging, but all are tied to issues of practical interest relating mathematics to the real world. |Exercises: Always a recognized strength in earlier editions, this text provides students with ample opportunities to practice problem-solving strategies. All exercise sets are carefully graded so that the more routine exercises are placed first in the exercise set, followed by more challenging exercises and applications. Exercise sets follow each section, and Review Exercises follow each chapter. |Writing Exercises: Every exercise set includes writing problems, delineated by an icon, that are related to issues raised in the examples and exercises. These problems ask students to communicate about mathematics using words, not just symbols. Additionally, they challenge students' critical thinking skills and invite them to research topics on their own. Usually, there is no set answer to these problems, and individual responses may vary. |Definitions: Key concepts and definitions are set off in shaded boxes for easy referencing by the student|Think About It Essays: Each chapter ends with an essay designed to introduce modeling procedures based on referenced journal articles. These essays provide background information on an applied situation and then invite students to answer a series of "bite-sized" questions culminating in a question of some importance in the social, managerial, or biological sciences.

Mental Health, Social Mirror Springer-Verlag New York Inc.

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

While mental health figured prominently in the writings of classical sociologists, contemporary sociologists often view research on mental health as peripheral to the real work of the discipline. The essays in this volume reassert the centrality of research in mental health to sociology. First, they articulate the contributions that mental health research has made and can make to resolving key theoretical and empirical debates in important areas of sociological study. Second, they draw from mainstream theories and concepts to reconsider the potential of sociology to provide answers to critical questions regarding the social origins of and social responses to mental illness. As reflected in the title, the sociological study of mental health provides a reflection of the central processes that characterize our society.
