books by Routledge     books:       Phenomenology of Perception (Routledge Classics)18 reviews Maurice Merleau-Ponty Routledge, 2002 A masterpiece! Merleau-Ponty's masterpiece is really an exquisite piece of writing. I know from an excellent source that there is a new translation coming soon. The French to English translation was done by a French professor, not a philosopher so some of M-P's subtle nuances are lost. Then again, so much is lost in translation anyway. Anyway you slice it, though, it is an excellent read and I recommend it ...             The Logic of Scientific Discovery (Routledge Classics)19 reviews Karl Popper Routledge, 2002 The most Spirited Attack on the method of Induction yet devised Completed some time after he had immigrated to New Zealand upon fleeing Nazi Germany, this, one of Popper's most important and well-known works, is where he first introduces his solution to the problem of induction. According to Popper, scientific theories can never be proven; they can only be tested and confirmed or "falsified." In short, theories are mere hunches: more or less guided ...             Rekindling Desire: A Step by Step Program to Help Low-Sex and No-Sex Marriages21 reviews Barry W. McCarthy, Emily J. McCarthy Routledge, 2003 Will Order From Again The product was in excellent shape and was delivered and packed in great time and in great condition.             Merleau-Ponty (Routledge Philosophers) Taylor Carman Routledge, 2008 Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908-1961) is one of the most important philosophers of the Twentieth century. His theories of perception and the role of the body have had an enormous impact on the humanities and social sciences, yet the full scope of his contribution not only to phenomenology but philosophy generally is only now becoming clear. In this lucid and comprehensive introduction, Taylor Carman explains and assesses the full range of ...             Visible Learning: A synthesis of over 800 meta-analyses relating to achievement3 reviews John Hattie Routledge, 2008 View from the research mountain Few books on education persuade us to see more truthfully and anew, or show us the way to do better for our students. This one does both. Hattie has spent decades collecting data and conclusions from over 800 authoritative summaries of research, to compute average `effect sizes' which measure the impact of a host of influences on student/pupil attainment. Class size, discovery learning, ...             Gender Trouble: Feminism and the Subversion of Identity (Routledge Classics)25 reviews Judith Butler Routledge, 2006 Thick, Yet Important Butler's gender critique has been a helpful resource for me in my own work. In this book Butler challenges varying constructions of gender and how such constructions are constituted. She defends all variations of sexual expression and breaks down patriarchal forms of discourse through the application of a variety of feminist critiques. Her writing is dense, complicated, and sometimes difficult ...             ADD-Friendly Ways to Organize Your Life104 reviews Judith Kolberg, Kathleen Nadeau Routledge, 2002 Great organizing book for anyone! Whether or not you have ADD, this is a great organizing book. If you are ever distracted, feel disorganized, or overcome with clutter, this book is for you! I even bought it for a friend who lives with two ADD family members, and she loved it. Whatever you spend for this book, you will earn it back in time and money saved. Honestly, I am not collecting royalties on this book, although it may ...             Order of Things: An Archaeology of the Human Sciences (Routledge Classics)13 reviews Michel Foucault Routledge, 2001 Difficult but worth it This book is one of the most important philosophy texts of the 20th century, if for no other reason than as an eye-opener. The text is a difficult read (although nowhere near as opaque as Derrida). The section on how our culture and, hence, our world-view has been "set" by accepted taxonomies is worth the read all by itself. I have come back to these comments again and again. Taxonomies are ...             Encyclopedia of Counseling: Master reviewe and Tutorial for the National Counselor Examination, State ...48 reviews Howard Rosenthal Routledge, 2007 I PASSED!! Very easy study guide to use--great format and informative. I found it explained some concepts better than grad school! It was the only guide I used to study, read it cover-to-cover and I passed the NCE with flying colors!! Beware, however, there is no information on "program developement" in the book and you WILL see this on the NCE!             Handmade Electronic Music: The Art of Hardware Hacking11 reviews Nicolas Collins Routledge, 2009 If you can't crack it open, it doesn't really belong to you. A great guide to taking apart old electronic noisemakers and turning them into something new. Also includes simple DIY electronic circuits with all the steps. The projects are compelling and workable. Give this to a young person and change their whole outlook on DIY.             Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (Routledge Classics)42 reviews Ludwig Wittgenstein Routledge, 2001 This is the ONLY worthy review The Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus is a riddle that only makes sense whence you understand it. He makes this point clear, saying that the Tractatus consists in two works, that which he has written and that which he obviously did not write. And that if one person read the book with understanding, the Tractatus would achieve its proper place in history. So, after 80 years of misunderstandings, ...             Where We Stand: Class Matters33 reviews bell hooks Routledge, 2000 Where We Stand: Class Matters by bell hooks Where We Stand: Class Matters by bell hooks All books written by bell hooks are powerful, direct, and very brave. Exactly when I was hoping bell would write a book about class, I discovered this one. Her writings about love lead to exploration of capitalism and its social structure more in depth, to strengthen points about the ways class loyalties and antagonisms prevent love ethic from ...             Undoing Gender8 reviews Judith Butler Routledge, 2004 Judith Butler discusses gender through a philosophic lens First things first, Judith Butler is scary smart. Her linguist/philosopher credentials can make her a tough read sometimes, but the language she uses here is clear and pure. Undoing Gender provided the first insights into the gendered connections that we all share and how the world understands us through these labels. She connects Foucault to Simone de Beauvoir, Hegel, Freud and beyond. I very ...             History of Madness6 reviews Michel Foucault Routledge, 2009 Crazy History!!! Foucault is right on the mark with this newly translated book. And so are the translators. It is insightful and informative, giving a history and an oh so subtle analysis. If you have been in a mental institution in the past 20 years then you can even gain more insight into what is going on in the book. Although it can be a bit unsettling, the rewards far outweight any frightening revelation you ...             Being and Nothingness: An Essay on Phenomenological Ontology (Routledge Classics)59 reviews Jean-Paul Sartre Routledge, 2003 I liked being, I skipped nothingness. This book is really a propaganda piece whose primary objective was to rouse French people to resist German occupiers. Published under enemy censorship, it reads between the lines as an appeal to French guilt about not facing up to their responsibilities. Sartre risked his life in the underground and hoped that his fellow countrymen would get the same message. It was written deliberately in a ...             The Practice of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy: Creating Connection (Basic Principles Into Practice ...8 reviews Susan M. Johnson Routledge, 2004 A Seminal Work in Couples' Therapy Susan Johnson's work through Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a great asset to the world of relationship therapies. Her work is in the new direction in therapy - calculated integration versus muddle-headed eclecticism. Johnson's work carefully integrate structural family therapy (Minuchin) with attachment theory (Bowlby) and the experiential therapies. While mainly citing Rogers, this a ...             The Bear Went Over the Mountain: Soviet Combat Tactics in Afghanistan13 reviews Routledge, 1998 The Bear Went over the Mountain To capture the lessons their tactical leaders learned in Afghanistan & to explain the change in tactics that followed, the Frunze Military Academy in Russia compiled this book for their command & general staff combat arms officers.
