TL;DR: Tannen's You Just Don't Understand as discussed by the authors is a classic in the field of interpersonal relations, and it will change forever the way you approach conversations, and give you the tools to understand what went wrong and to find a common language in which to strengthen relationships at work and at home.
Abstract: Women and men live in different worlds...made of different words.Spending nearly four years on the New York Times bestseller list, including eight months at number one, You Just Don't Understand is a true cultural and intellectual phenomenon. This is the book that brought gender differences in ways of speaking to the forefront of public awareness. With a rare combination of scientific insight and delightful, humorous writing, Tannen shows why women and men can walk away from the same conversation with completely different impressions of what was said.Studded with lively and entertaining examples of real conversations, this book gives you the tools to understand what went wrong -- and to find a common language in which to strengthen relationships at work and at home. A classic in the field of interpersonal relations, this book will change forever the way you approach conversations.

TL;DR: Science as Practice and Culture as discussed by the authors explores one of the newest and most controversial developments within the rapidly changing field of science studies: the move toward studying scientific practice, the work of doing science, and the associated move towards studying scientific culture, understood as the field of resources that practice operates in and on.
Abstract: Science as Practice and Culture explores one of the newest and most controversial developments within the rapidly changing field of science studies: the move toward studying scientific practice--the work of doing science--and the associated move toward studying scientific culture, understood as the field of resources that practice operates in and on. Andrew Pickering has invited leading historians, philosophers, sociologists, and anthropologists of science to prepare original essays for this volume. The essays range over the physical and biological sciences and mathematics, and are divided into two parts. In part I, the contributors map out a coherent set of perspectives on scientific practice and culture, and relate their analyses to central topics in the philosophy of science such as realism, relativism, and incommensurability. The essays in part II seek to delineate the study of science as practice in arguments across its borders with the sociology of scientific knowledge, social epistemology, and reflexive ethnography.

TL;DR: In this paper, the substance of competitiveness is derived from a class of determinants used in theoretical and empirical studies, and a flexible rather than a generalizing concept of competitiveness should be used, because the explanatory power increases with the former.
Abstract: The purpose of the paper Is to work out the substance of the term "competitiveness" from a broad overview of concepts used. For most of the period theory in the field has comprised three quite separate strands, f.e. trade theory,
price theory and Industrial organization. Starting with the theoretical background the substance of "competitiveness" is derived from a classfflcatlon of determinants used in theoretical and empirical studies. The main indicators are defined and explained. We conclude that a flexible rather than a generalizing concept of competitiveness should be used, because the explanatory power increases with
the former. The research problem in question defines the subset of indicators to be chosen. Consequently, the subset varies from case to case and with it the concept of competitiveness.

TL;DR: In this article, the National Academy of Engineering explores ways in which technology and society form inseparable elements in a complex sociotechnical system and how social forces shape what engineers do and what they can achieve.
Abstract: How is society influenced by engineering and technology? How in turn does society shape engineering and technology? This book from the National Academy of Engineering explores ways in which technology and society form inseparable elements in a complex sociotechnical system. The essays in this volume are based on the proposition that many forces move and shape engineering, technology, culture, and society. Six specialists both inside and outside the field of engineering offer views on how engineering responds to society's needs and how social forces shape what engineers do and what they can achieve.

TL;DR: This paper focused on discovering what the eyes can tell us about the higher level processes involved in language comprehension, from comprehension of individual sentences to the comprehension of text accompanied by pictures, and elaborated on three themes that are common to several of them.
Abstract: The chapters in this section focused on discovering what the eyes can tell us about the higher level processes involved in language comprehension, from the comprehension of individual sentences to the comprehension of text accompanied by pictures. In discussing these chapters I have chosen to elaborate on three themes that are common to several of them. In the process, I will raise more questions than answers, because I see these themes as ones that the field is just beginning to address.

TL;DR: In the field of cultural relations, there has been no serious effort to sponsor research in the field as discussed by the authors, and because governments and other major bodies concerned with funding cannot see any obvious application or payoff for such investigations, they simply have not been carried out.
Abstract: Alas there has been no serious effort to sponsor research in the field of cultural relations. Because governments and other major bodies concerned with funding cannot see any obvious application or “pay-offs” for such investigations, they simply have not been carried out. (Mitchell 1986)

TL;DR: Folklorists tend to study cultures and communities by paying close attention to stylized genres or traditional expressive behaviors in recent decades as the emphasis in the field of folklore has shifted from studies that are text centered to studies that is more context oriented, a number of folklorists have turned their attention to the interrelations of tradition and environment as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Folklorists tend to study cultures and communities by paying close attention to stylized genres or traditional expressive behaviors In recent decades as the emphasis in the field of folklore has shifted from studies that are text centered to studies that are more context oriented, a number of folklorists have turned their attention to the interrelations of tradition and environment Of all genres attached to places, narratives and place names traditionally have drawn the most attention from folklorists In particular, folklorists have long sensed a deep connection between legendry and topography (Dorson, 1971) and have undertaken studies of migratory legends, and the role of physical settings, in nurturing narrative traditions (Honko, 1981; Moss, 1983) Gradually the collection and study of folklore as static migratory items has developed into the investigation of the reciprocity between traditional genres and their settings (Allen, 1990) Folklore, which “vivifies place” is seen to be inspired and reinforced by distinctive physical features in the local setting (Moss, 1983) Lauri Honko notes that when “milieu dominants” as he calls such features, are constituted as places, their names become a powerful means of perpetuating local tradition (Cochrane, 1987; Honko, 1981) Other scholars have explored ways in which communities use traditional materials both to enhance their sense of belonging within a locale or region and to distinguish themselves from outsiders (Jones, 1976)

TL;DR: The Library of Theological Ethics series focuses on what it means to think theologically and ethically as mentioned in this paper, and includes a selection of important and otherwise unavailable texts in easily accessible form.
Abstract: This anthology by Christian ethicists and ecclesial groups is concerned with the justice of war in the twentieth century. Included are writings from Pope Pius XII, the Niebuhrs, the Calhoun Commission, John Ford, Elizabeth Anscombe, Paul Ramsey, Ralph Potter, the U.S. Catholic bishops, and the U.S. Methodist bishops. These authors, whose ideas reflect diverse trends in Roman Catholic and Protestant ethics, have sought to sharpen our moral literacy about the ethics of war and address ethical issues relevant to modern warfare--obliteration bombing, selective conscientious objection, and nuclear deterrence. The Library of Theological Ethics series focuses on what it means to think theologically and ethically. It presents a selection of important and otherwise unavailable texts in easily accessible form. Volumes in this series will enable sustained dialogue with predecessors though reflection on classic works in the field.

TL;DR: The Chaco field school at the University of New Mexico as discussed by the authors trained students who later made important contributions to the field of anthropology, including many women archaeologists who later became professional archaeologists.
Abstract: Field training for archaeological students at the University of New Mexico began in 1929 when Edgar L Hewett established a camp in Chaco Canyon For a total of fifteen seasons, it trained students--many of them women--who later made important contributions to anthropology This study of the politics, personnel, and fieldwork of the Chaco field school discusses its impact on scholarship, its role in preparing professional archaeologists, and its relationships with several New Mexico institutions such as the School of American Research
