Paperback. Condition: New. Herrnstein and Murray's The Bell Curve is a deeply controversial text that raises serious issues about the stakes involved in reasoning and interpretation.The authors' central contention is that intelligence is the primary factor determining social outcomes for individuals - and that it is a better predictor of achievement than income, background or socioeconomic status. One of the major issues raised by the book was its discussion of 'racial differences in intelligence,' and its contention that there is a link between the low observed test scores and social outcomes for African-Americans and their lack of social attainment.While the authors produce and interpret a great deal of data to back up their contentions, they ultimately fail to tackle the problem that neither 'intelligence' nor 'race' have widely accepted definitions in biology, anthropology or sociology. In consequence, the book has been termed both 'racist' and 'pseudoscientific' thanks to what its critics see as both its faulty reasoning and its uncautious interpretation of evidence. The debate continues to this day, with academics on both sides engaged in fierce arguments over what can be argued from the data that Herrnstein and Murray used.

First Edition
Couverture souple. Condition: Comme neuf. 1čre Édition. 274 pages. Quatričme de couverture : "La représentation dominante de la littérature, loin de s'imposer comme par nature, est le résultat d'un travail de légitimation et de discrimination. Ce travail est discret, rarement explicite. Parmi ses outils les plus efficaces : l'oubli et le stigmate. Oubli du passé et des moments oł existaient des maničres de concevoir la littérature trčs différentes de ce que l'on constate aujourd'hui. Stigmate de la relégation dans les genres dits mineurs ou par l'enfermement dans des catégories spécifiques. Or, la littérature quelque chose (populaire, féminine, sociale, policičre, etc.), c'est toujours un peu moins de la littérature. Ce numéro veut questionner les évidences de la littérature ą travers l'histoire et au miroir des littératures particuličres.". Livre.

Hardback. Condition: New. A collection of timely essays on the rising wave of anxiety in culture.The twenty-first century is characterized by uncertainty: from catastrophic climate change to the accelerating pace of technological change, societies around the world are gripped by anxiety about the future. In Anxiety Culture, editors John Allegrante, Ulrich Hoinkes, Michael Schapira, and Karen Struve bring together a distinguished group of international scholars to examine the forces that increase anxiety as a phenomenon beyond solely individual experiences of clinical anxiety to pervade global culture. These trenchant essays examine our culture of anxiety across diverse avenues of society. Covering fears related to climate change, populist and extremist movements around the world, gun violence, artificial intelligence, and more, contributors also examine how anxiety is expressed in literature and the media and how a culture of anxiety affects policymaking. Chapters are organized into five sections: disciplinary perspectives on anxiety, climate change and the environment, population health and social well-being, migration, and technology. There's room for hope, however. Contributors provide pragmatic recommendations for coping with anxiety culture in public education, governments, and NGOs. Anxiety Culture is a unique attempt to define this condition and an indispensable resource for those seeking stability in an unstable age, providing a set of conceptual and practical narratives for navigating both existing and emergent planetary challenges.Contributors: Kristina Allgoewer, Bryndis Asgeirsdottir, John Baldacchino, Christine Blaettler, Michel Bourban, Dominic Boyer, Eva J.
