Praise for the Second Edition:  In opposition to most literature on how to conduct good social science research which is either empirically oriented or gives priority to theoretical and philosophical considerations, which tends to make empirical research look odd or irrelevant, this volume on ⠲Reflexive Methodology⠲ explicitly turns towards a consideration of the perceptual, cognitive, theoretical, linguistic, political and cultural circumstances as backdrop of data interpretation and research design. It showed up to be the most important and informative resource and a source of enlightenment to my lecture on methodology at our institute. I can highly recommend the volume to lecturers and students alike.  Professor Sabine Troeger, Geography Institute - Library, University of Bonn Reflexivity is an essential part of the research process. Mats Alvesson and Kaj Sköldberg make explicit the links between techniques used in empirical research and different research traditions, giving a theoretically informed approach to qualitative research. The authors provide balanced reviews and critiques of the major schools of grounded theory, ethnography, hermeneutics, critical theory, postmodernism and poststructuralism, discourse analysis, genealogy and feminism. Useful reading for students and researchers across the social sciences. The first edition established itself as a ground-breaking success, providing researchers with an invaluable guide to a central problem in research methodology - namely, how to put field research and interpretations in perspective, paying attention to the interpretive, political and rhetorical nature of empirical research.  The second edition introduced a new chapter on positivism,  social constructionism and critical realism, and offered new conclusions on the applications of methodology. This third edition of Reflexive Methodology provides further updates on new research, including neorealism, and illustrations and applications of reflexive methodology in formulating research strategies, that build on the acclaimed and successful previous editions

Ranjit Bolt updates Much Ado About Nothing with a merry new translation.  In Much Ado About Nothing, a series of miscommunications and misunderstandings spiral out of control, leaving two sets of lovers to untangle their words and their hearts. Ranjit Bolt, an accomplished translator, takes on Shakespeare⠙s well-loved comedy to update much of the obscure language while maintaining the humor, characterization, and wit that audiences know and love. For modern readers, Beatrice, Benedick, Hero, and Claudio are just as enchanting as always⠔and perhaps funnier than ever before. This translation of Much Ado About Nothing was written as part of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival⠙s Play On! project, which commissioned new translations of thirty-nine Shakespeare plays. These translations present work from ⠜The Bard⠝ in language accessible to modern audiences while never losing the beauty of Shakespeare⠙s verse. Enlisting the talents of a diverse group of contemporary playwrights, screenwriters, and dramaturges from diverse backgrounds, this project reenvisions Shakespeare for the twenty-first century. These volumes make these works available for the first time in print⠔a new First Folio for a new era.

This is about gob-smacking science at the far end of reason ... Take it nice and easy and savour the experience of your mind being blown without recourse to hallucinogens Nicholas Lezard, Guardian For most people, quantum theory is a byword for mysterious, impenetrable science. And yet for many years it was equally baffling for scientists themselves.In this magisterial book, Manjit Kumar gives a dramatic and superbly-written history of this fundamental scientific revolution, and the divisive debate at its core. Quantum theory looks at the very building blocks of our world, the particles and processes without which it could not exist.Yet for 60 years most physicists believed that quantum theory denied the very existence of reality itself. In this tour de force of science history, Manjit Kumar shows how the golden age of physics ignited the greatest intellectual debate of the twentieth century.Quantum theory is weird. In 1905, Albert Einstein suggested that light was a particle, not a wave, defying a century of experiments. Werner Heisenberg s uncertainty principle and Erwin Schrodinger s famous dead-and-alive cat are similarly strange. As Niels Bohr said, if you weren t shocked by quantum theory, you didn t really understand it.While Quantum sets the science in the context of the great upheavals of the modern age, Kumar s centrepiece is the conflict between Einstein and Bohr over the nature of reality and the soul of science. Bohr brainwashed a whole generation of physicists into believing that the problem had been solved , lamented the Nobel Prize-winning physicist Murray Gell-Mann. But in Quantum , Kumar brings Einstein back to the centre of the quantum debate. Quantum is the essential read for anyone fascinated by this complex and thrilling story and by the band of brilliant men at its heart.

Krishna Kumari: The Tragedy of India introduces readers to the first English language play in modern India.Written in 1826 by English Subba Rao, one of the first Indians to be schooled in English, Krishna Kumari depicts the true story of a princess of Udaipur who is forced to commit suicide in order to end a war started by her suitors, the rulers of the neighboring kingdoms of Jaipur and Jodhpur. Tragically, her death proves to be in vain because the mercenaries recruited by the contending rulers nevertheless proceed to plunder the region. All three kingdoms are then compelled to seek the protection of the East India Company, bringing their independence to an end.Sharp and witty, Krishna Kumari was intended to warn Indian principalities against the follies that led to the downfall of the Rajputs. Unfortunately, the play scarcely saw the light of day. Angered by Subba Rao s opposition to their power, the British forced him to withdraw from public life. This is why audiences have never heard of Krishna Kumari-until now. Building on extensive archival research, this volume brings Subba Rao s pioneering drama back to life. The introductory essay by Rahul Sagar, a leading scholar of nineteenth century India, familiarizes readers with the remarkable characters in the play and the violent era in which they lived. By shedding light on Subba Rao s extraordinary life and career, it also reveals how important principalities like Tanjore and Travancore were in battling colonialism and shaping modern India.

To see peace in our lifetimes, we have to practice love.This is the radical message of this inspirational book of pithy advice from environmental activist Satish Kumar, which helps us find ways to love ourselves, others, and all beings on planet Earth—even those we may find unlovable.Satish Kumar is well known for his epic walk for world peace in his youth in the 1960s from India to the nuclear capitals of Moscow, Paris, London, and Washington, DC. Wherever he traveled, he found that human beings were capable of a love that could overcome hatred and division. Settling down in the UK, he married his wife, June Mitchell, and founded eco-university Schumacher College in Devon, eventually becoming a leading figure in the UK green movement.Radical Love distills the author s lifetime of experience as a lover, parent, activist, and educator into simple lessons on transforming our time of ecological crisis, conflict, and scarcity into one in which we experience harmony with nature, safety, and abundance. It is an exploration of the transformative power of love in all its forms, from romantic love to love for one s family and community to love for the planet and all beings. Kumar s approach is founded on simplicity (including the Jain principle of aparigraha), generosity, and continuous learning. Like an unfolding metta meditation, the book expands our notions of love to its most sublime universal state and makes a great gift to share with those we love.

Humans are moral creatures. Among all life on Earth, we alone experience rich moral emotions, follow complex rules governing how we treat one another, and engage in moral dialogue. But how did human morality evolve? And can humans become morally evolved? In A Better Ape, Victor Kumar and Richmond Campbell draw on the latest research in the biological and social sciences to explain the key role that morality has played in human evolution. They explore the moral traits that humans share with chimpanzees; how a more complex moral mind enabled Homo sapiens to arise and out-compete other human species; and the place of morality alongside historic revolutions in technology and social organization. Throughout the book, Kumar and Campbell argue that morality co-evolved with intelligence and complex sociality. Morality prevents societal collapse and enables complex knowledge. After unearthing the ancient origins of human morality, Kumar and Campbell use evolutionary theory to deliver profound insights about how to advance moral progress and resist moral regress, such as reducing animal suffering on industrial farms; capitalizing on the recent revolution in gay rights to foster a nascent revolution in transgender rights; opposing intersectional inequality that impacts women and people of color in lower socioeconomic classes; and addressing major problems of global inequality, especially impending crises of injustice caused by anthropogenic climate change. Understanding how we evolved--and how we continue to evolve--can help us become a better ape.

Satiš Kumár objasňuje Západu východní moudrost. V zásadě říká, že péče o životní prostředí (půda), snaha o osobní harmonii (duše) a prosazování lidských hodnot (společnost) představují tři nezbytné morální pilíře naší doby. Kniha Půda, duše, společnost dokládá, že celostní přístup k životu vychází ze starobylé filozofie indických tradic hinduismu, buddhismu a džinismu, které pro nás oživili Mahátma Gándhí a Rabíndranáth Thákur. Jejich myšlenky následně přenesl na Západ E. F. Schumacher ve své knize Malé je milé.Abychom se zasadili o novou udržitelnou budoucnost, musíme provést reformu vzdělávání. Podstata této transformace by pak měla spočívat v tom, že opustíme starou základní trojici „čtení, psaní a počítání“ a budeme se soustředit na novou trojici „hlava, srdce a ruce“. Půda, duše, společnost je praktickým návodem na to, jak vytvořit prostor pro radikální a přitom laskavou proměnu našeho myšlení i způsobu života.

Kniha Růže k snídani (Fotorenesance, 2021) je reflexí nedávné cesty po Indii. Fotografie a vyprávění Gabriely Kumar Sharma protkané poezií Petra Koudelky líčí obraz putování po daleké zemi, ale i do vlastního nitra. V Indii se setkávají dva příběhy. V esejisticky laděném povídání se řeší zásadní problém: má žena, která tu vystupuje ve třetí osobě, začít nový život ve vzdálené zemi, nebo pokračovat v zaběhaných kolejích doma v Praze či v New Yorku? Jak se rozhodne? K odpovědi, která padne až v poslední větě, se čtenář dostane i prostřednictvím autorčiných fotografií. Provázejí nás od kaváren a rezidenčních čtvrtí Dillí do končin Himálaje, moderním Čandígarhem, posvátnými hinduistickými obřady v Sunder Nagar až po jabloňové sady Shimly. Druhý příběh vedený ve verších podává stejný problém rozhodování a osudového směřování člověka, tentokrát v existenciální rovině. Protínání dnů a roků se mění na křižovatku života a smrti. Duchovní inspirace Indií má oporu v desítkách navštívených míst: mešita Jama Masjid, Tádž Mahál, bitevní pole Kurukšétry, pohřební gháty Haridváru či vody Gangy. Jestli se někomu podaří spojit obě linie knížky do jednoho čtenářského zážitku, může se těšit z pocitu, že sám Indii právě navštívil.

Životní setkání s tradicemi, od judaismu přes hinduismus až ke křesťanství, zachytila podle své paměti na večeři pro přátele v New Yorku v Den díkůvzdání autorka Gabriela Kumar Sharma. Jeden z hostů nepřišel a právě on svědčí ve verších o skutečnosti stvoření. Je to svědectví aktuální, z pohledu naší drsné doby. Mohl by to být i Adam s Evou, kdo sledují Boha při práci na stvoření v sedmi biblických dnech. Autorem veršů inspirovaných Haydnovým oratoriem Stvoření je Petr Koudelka.

In this newly revised edition of Understanding Research in Early Education, Margaret Clark demonstrates the continuing relevance of research in the homes of young children and in preschool units. Through rigorous yet understandable language, the text stresses the importance of research, acknowledging how easy it can be, amidst the change and flood of documents on early education and care, to overlook the insights to be gained from past research. The author draws on her own studies, and those of others, to illustrate how to avoid common pitfalls, ask the right questions to inform studentsÂ’ research projects, and critically apply findings in the classroom or nursery. The book is one of the few texts for students to bring research alive, analysing key research to consider its limitations and the extent to which results are relevant to policy and practice. Without requiring any prior expertise in research and research methodologies, the third edition will prove invaluable for undergraduate and postgraduate students taking courses in early yearsÂ’ education, and practitioners undertaking continuing professional development. New content includes: fully revised chapters, an updated reference list, and a new chapter discussing current research on baseline assessment.

What next-generation scholars need to know in order to thrive, and how they can actively participate in shaping the academic research enterprise.The academic research enterprise is highly complex, involving multiple sectors of society and a vast array of approaches. In Demystifying the Academic Research Enterprise, Kelvin K. Droegemeier shows next-generation scholars across all disciplines how to become more productive earlier in their career, as well as how to help shape the academic research enterprise. The topics covered include public perceptions of scholarly work and its use in policy; understanding the big picture of funding and national priorities as well as identifying funding sources; research methods; collecting data and materials; writing grant proposals; publishing results; ethical conduct; bias and peer review; intellectual property and compliance regulations; partnerships and collaboration; diversity, equity, and inclusion; and the future of research.  Droegemeier’s two principal goals are to enhance and accelerate scholars’ understanding of the academic research process and to democratize that understanding, particularly at institutions that traditionally are underrepresented or lack robust resources. While intended for undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, and early career faculty, Demystifying the Academic Research Enterprise is also relevant to mid-career and senior faculty, research administrators, funding organizations, congressional staff, policymakers, and the general public. Droegemeier places scholars in a broader national and international context—not as passive recipients of the existing system but as key actors who actively participate in helping to set priorities, determine policies, drive systemic change, and advance knowledge.
