Suman Verma, Anne C. Petersen, "Developmental Science and Sustainable Development Goals for Children and Youth"
English | 2018 | pages: 470 | ISBN: 3319965913 | PDF | 7,1 mb
This book presents new scientific knowledge on using developmental science to improving lives of children and youth across the globe. It highlights emerging pathways to sustainability as well as the interconnectedness and interdependence of developmental science and sustainable children and youth development globally. Presenting cross-cultural views and current perspectives on the role of developmental science in the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals for children and youth development, contributors from different disciplines from low-and-middle-income countries or scholars working in these countries capture ground realities of the situation of children and youth in these regions. This book addresses developmental issues related to inequity, gender, health, education, social protection, and needs of vulnerable populations of children and youth. Other areas of focus are improving mechanisms and monitoring frameworks of development and well-being indicators.
Antoine Dechêne, "Detective Fiction and the Problem of Knowledge: Perspectives on the Metacognitive Mystery Tale"
English | 2018 | pages: 348 | ISBN: 3319944681 | PDF | 3,4 mb
This book establishes the genealogy of a subgenre of crime fiction thatAntoine Dechêne calls the metacognitive mystery tale. It delineates a corpus of texts presenting 'unreadable' mysteries which, under the deceptively monolithic appearance of subverting traditional detective story conventions, offer a multiplicity of motifs - the overwhelming presence of chance, the unfulfilled quest for knowledge, the urban stroller lost in a labyrinthine text - that generate a vast array of epistemological and ontological uncertainties. Analysing the works of a wide variety of authors, includingEdgar Allan Poe,Jorge Luis Borges, and Henry James, this book is vital reading for scholars of detective fiction.
Pablo E. Navarro, Jorge L. Rodríguez, "Deontic Logic and Legal Systems"
English | 2014 | ISBN: 0521767393 | PDF | pages: 288 | 1.7 mb
A considerable number of books and papers have analyzed normative concepts using new techniques developed by logicians; however, few have bridged the gap between the English legal culture and the Continental (i.e. European and Latin American) tradition in legal philosophy. This book addresses this issue by offering an introductory study on the many possibilities that logical analysis offers the study of legal systems. The volume is divided into two sections: the first covers the basic aspects of classical and deontic logic and its connections, advancing an explanation of the most important topics of the discipline by comparing different systems of deontic logic and exploring some of the most important paradoxes in its domain. The second section deals with the role of logic in the analysis of legal systems by discussing in what sense deontic logic and the logic of norm-propositions are useful tools for a proper understanding of the systematic structure of law.
