PDF-[EBOOK]-Social Theory in the Twentieth Century

I think this is an outstanding book The coverage is comprehensive the lines of thought and exposition are clear and the level of discussion is very high yet remarkably lively and accessible It has an underlying intellectual seriousness and engagement which shines out through the individual chapters and the authors unwillingness to make do with secondary analyses and received ideas gives it a strength and freshness of approach which is extremely welcomeProfessor William Outhwaite University of Sussex Social Theory in the Twentieth Century offers an easytoread but provocative account of the development of social theory Patrick Baert covers a wide range of key figures and schools of thought including Giddens Foucault and Habermas Written in a lively style and avoiding jargon this book is aimed at students who wish to understand the main debates and dilemmas driving social theory Rather than providing a neutral summary of the different thinkers and theories Baert challenges the conventional readings of social theory with new and original interpretations In effect he bridges the gap between philosophy and social theory by placing the theoretical views within wider historical traditions Social Theory in the Twentieth Century will undoubtedly become the standard introduction to social theory for students in sociology politics and anthropology. and issued 20TH-CENTURY BAPTIST CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS 37 examine the basis on which to construct a better order of society.

Similar to Georgian, Federal, Adam, Greek Revival. X-rays, fluoroscopy, ultrasound, CT, MRI, and PET scans--medical imaging has become a familiar part of modern health care today. A century ago, however, the idea of looking inside the living body seemed absurd. Wilhelm Roentgen\'s X-ray image of his wife\'s shadowy hand--with her wedding band floating around a white bone--convinced doctors to rush the new tool into use for diagnosis and treatment.By the 1920s, the technology was a commonplace wonder: army recruits had routinely lined up for chest X-rays during World War I, and children delighted in seeing the bones of their feet in the green glow of shoestore fluoroscopes. By the late 1960s, the computer and television were linked to produce medical images that were as startling as Roentgen\'s original X-rays. Computerized tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MR) made it possible to picture soft tissues invisible to ordinary X-rays. Ultrasound allowed expectant parents to see their unborn children. Positron emission tomography (PET) enabled neuroscientists to map the brain.In this lively history of medical imaging, the first to cover the full scope of the field from X-rays to MR-assistant surgery, Bettyann Kevles explores the consequences of these developments for medicine and society. Through lucid prose, vivid anecdotes, and more than seventy striking illustrations, she shows how medical imaging has transformed the practice of medicine--from pediatrics to dentistry, neurosurgery to geriatrics, gynecology to oncology.Despite their formidable power to reveal the inner secrets of the body, no form of medical imaging can claim to be the product of a technological imperative. As Kevles points out, few of these costly inventions made it easily to the marketplace, and all are vulnerable to the changing economics of the health-care system. In the early years of X-rays, many doctors, technicians, and patients died from overexposure to the invisible radiation. Although we may still find delayed repercussions from these newer technologies, a different kind of danger may lie in our conviction that an early diagnosis is equivalent to a cure.Beyond medicine, Kevles describes how X-rays and the newer technologies have become part of the texture of modern life and culture. They helped undermine Victorian sexual sensibilities, gave courts new forensic tools, provided plots for novels and movies, and offered artists from Picasso to Warhol new ways to depict the human form.Naked to the Bone offers readers an unparalled picture of a key technology of the twentieth century. The engineering ideas behind key twentieth-century technical innovations, from great dams and highways to the jet engine, the transistor, the microchip, and the computer.Technology is essential to modern life, yet few of us are technology-literate enough to know much about the engineering that underpins it. In this book, David P. Billington, Jr., offers accessible accounts of the key twentieth-century engineering innovations that brought us into the twenty-first century. Billington examines a series of engineering advances--from Hoover Dam and jet engines to the transistor, the microchip, the computer, and the internet--and explains how they came about and how they work.Each of these innovations tells a unique story. The great dams of the New Deal brought huge rivers under control, and a national highway system interconnected the nation, as did jet air travel. The transistor and the microchip originated in the private sector and found a mass market after early government support. The computer and the internet began as government projects and found a mass market later in the private sector. Billington finds that engineers with unconventional insights could succeed in a bureaucratic age what mattered were independent vision and a society that welcomed innovation.This book completes the story of American engineering begun with the earlier volumes The Innovators (by the author\'s father) and Power, Speed, and Form (by the author and his father). 2.
