(BOOS)-The Ernest Becker Reader: Transcript


Ernest Becker 19241974 was an astute observer of society and human behavior during Americas turbulent 1960s and 1970s Trained in social anthropology and driven by a transcending curiosity about human motivations Becker doggedly pursued his basic research question What makes people act the way they do Dissatisfied with what he saw as narrowly fragmented methods in the contemporary social sciences and impelled by a belief that humankind more than ever needed a disciplined rational and empirically based understanding of itself Becker slowly created a powerful interdisciplinary vision of the human sciences one in which each discipline is rooted in a basic truth concerning the human condition That truth became an integral part of Beckers emerging social science Almost inadvertently he outlined a perspective on human motivations that is perhaps the most broadly interdisciplinary to date His perspective traverses not only the biological psychological and social sciences but also the humanities and educational political and religious studiesErnest Becker is best known for the books written in the last few years before his death from cancer including the highly praised Pulitzer Prizewinning volume The Denial of Death 1974 and Escape from Evil 1975 These late works however were built on a distinguished body of earlier books essays and reviews The power and strength of Beckers ideas are fully present in his early works which underlie his later contributions and give direction for interpreting the development of his ideasAlthough Ernest Beckers life and career were cut short his major writings have remained continually in print and have captured the interest of subsequent generations of readers The Ernest Becker Reader makes available for the first time in one volume much of Beckers early work and thus places his later work in proper context It is a major contribution to the ongoing interest in Beckers ideas. brPage 1br Ernest Davies Award 2013 Urban Street Parking An Obstructive Eye Sore or a Refreshing breath of Clean Air John Gallagher brPage 2br Ernest Davies Award 2013 Urban Street Parki PRESENTED BY Sue Becker, CPO-CD, ADD SpecialistEmail:Sue@PilesToSmiles.com Phone: 630-724-1111SIMPLICITY LEADSTO HARMONY From Piles To SmilesSue Becker, CPO-CDADD Specialist Signal Analysis. 30. .

He must not live idle; he has a hard work to perform, and one which often proves a cross to be borne. He must realize that his every deed, feeling, and thought are raw but sure material from which his work is to arise, that he is free in art but not in life....The artist is not only a king...because he has great power, but also because he has great duties.

The seventh edition of the highly successful The City Reader juxtaposes the very best classic and contemporary writings on the city. Sixty-three selections are included: forty-five from the sixth edition and eighteen new selections, including three newly written exclusively for The City Reader. The anthology features a Prologue essay on How to Study Cities, eight part introductions as well as individual introductions to each of the selected articles.The new edition has been extensively updated and expanded to reflect the latest thinking in each of the disciplinary and topical areas included, such as sustainable urban development, globalization, the impact of technology on cities, resilient cities, and urban theory. The seventh edition places greater emphasis on cities in the developing world, the global city system, and the future of cities in the digital transformation age. While retaining classic writings from authors such as Lewis Mumford, Jane Jacobs, and Louis Wirth, this edition also includes the best contemporary writings of, among others, Peter Hall, Manuel Castells, and Saskia Sassen. New material has been added on compact cities, urban history, placemaking, climate change, the world city network, smart cities, the new social exclusion, ordinary cities, gentrification, gender perspectives, regime theory, comparative urbanization, and the impact of technology on cities.Bibliographic material has been completely updated and strengthened so that the seventh edition can serve as a reference volume orienting faculty and students to the most important writings of all the key topics in urban studies and planning. The City Reader provides the comprehensive mapping of the terrain of Urban Studies, old and new. It is essential reading for anyone interested in studying cities and city life. Zoë.
