.Modern Social Work Theory
City Travel Guides > Books > Society- Politics and Philosophy
by: Malcolm Payne

February 23, 2005
In the preface, the author states that he has been told by some that this book is too difficult, by others too simple. I would characterise it as huge, as is a fruitcake, not perhaps in physical size, but in richness and complexity. First, it is well worth reading the book through, and mastering the content. Subsequently, use it as a reference book, as you encounter issues and theoretical perspectives in practice. It is easy to become blase about concepts, through over-repetition of their buzz words, and by lack of reflection, and certain terms become so by incorporation in organisational procedures, for instance. I envisage myself returning to this book to clarify terms and concepts, such as empowerment, anti-discriminatory practice, the ... Read More:

.Philosophy: The Basics (Basics (Routledge Paperback))
City Travel Guides > Books > Society- Politics and Philosophy
by: Nigel Warburton

May 13, 2004
Like 'Philosophy - the classics', this is an excellent book, reference and general reader. It gives a useful reading list at the end of each chapter.

The Basics takes a topic based approach, including Philosophy of : Science, Mind, Religion, the external world etc. and starts off by expounding the theory (say behaviourism) and then the arguments against it.

Warburton writes really clearly and this book is a useful resource for student and anyone interested in Philosophy.

.Criminological Perspectives: Essential Readings (Published in association with The Open University)
City Travel Guides > Books > Society- Politics and Philosophy
from: Sage Publications Ltd

November 20, 2002
The Oxford Handbook of Criminology is a very broad overview of a vast array of sources, with chapters averaging forty-ish pages and extensive bibliographies to each. It is very much a secondary analysis text to my eyes; a comprehensive collating of data that gives an overview of criminology that is second to none. The Oxford Handbook has been (for me) a far better introduction to criminology, and is written in a way that I find far more accessible. The fourth edition of the OHC is - furthermore - at the time of writing far descriptive of contemporary criminology. It was published in 2007 with the chapters being written as descriptive of contemporary criminology.

Criminological perspectives is a different beast altogether. It's aimed ... Read More:

.Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do (and What it Says About Us): Why We Drive the Way We Do (and What It Says About Us)
City Travel Guides > Books > Society- Politics and Philosophy
by: Tom Vanderbilt

August 28, 2008

If you've ever been stuck in traffic alone (and who hasn't been?), all kinds of thoughts have occurred to you about how poorly the highways are designed, why drivers are so inconsiderate, what else you would like to be doing, and how to get out of this mess! Since cell phones have arrived, I regularly receive calls from my wife and children while they are stuck in traffic hoping that I'll have some suggestions for them. Tom Vanderbilt takes that vague reactions and tests them out.

It turns out that driving isn't so natural for humans, and we don't always do it right. While we are unhappy about what others are doing, we overestimate the quality of our own driving.

Even though it's very difficult for a machine ... Read More:
