This volume combines perspectives on both. It celebrates the merits of Michael Otte as one of the most important founding fathers of mathematics education by bringing together all the new and fascinating perspectives, created through his career as a bridge builder in the field of interdisciplinary research and cooperation. The perspectives elaborated here are for the greatest part motivated by the impressing variety of Otte?s thoughts; however, the idea is not to look back, but to find out where the research agenda might lead us in the future. This volume provides new sources of knowledge based on Michael Otte?s fundamental insight that understanding the problems of mathematics education ? how to teach, how to learn, how to communicate, how to do, and how to represent mathematics ? depends on means, mainly philosophical and semiotic, that have to be created first of all, and to be reflected from the perspectives of a multitude of diverse disciplines Nombre d'accès : Illimité En ligne : https://neoma-bs.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/b105055 Permalink : https://cataloguelibrary.neoma-bs.fr/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=154500

Merchants of war and peace / Song-Chuan CHEN, / Hong Kong University Press (2017)

Instead, it argues that the war was started by a group of British merchants in the Chinese port of Canton in the 1830s, known as the `Warlike Party`. Living in a period when British knowledge of China was growing rapidly, the Warlike Party came to understand China`s weakness and its members returned to London to lobby for intervention until war broke out in 1839. However, the Warlike Party did not get its way entirely. Another group of British merchants known in Canton as the `Pacific Party` opposed the war. In Britain, the anti-war movement gave the conflict its infamous name, the `Opium War`, which has stuck ever since. Using materials housed in the National Archives, UK, the First Historical Archives of China, the National Palace Museum, the British Library, SOAS Library, and Cambridge University Library, this meticulously researched and lucid volume is a new history of the cause of the First Opium War.

Sport in capitalist society / Tony COLLINS / London : ROUTLEDGE (2013)  

Titre : Sport in capitalist society : a short history Type de document : e-book Auteurs : Tony COLLINS, Auteur Editeur : London : ROUTLEDGE Année de publication : 2013 Importance : viii, 178 p. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-203-06811-3 Note générale : Bibliogr. p.154-170 . Index. Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés candidats : Sports  Political aspects.  Economic aspects.  Sports and state.  Capitalism.  SPORT  DEPORTE  HISTORY  HISTORIA  HISTOIRE Résumé : Why are the Olympic Games the driving force behind a clampdown on civil liberties? What makes sport an unwavering ally of nationalism and militarism? Is sport the new opiate of the masses? These and many other questions are answered in this new radical history of sport by leading historian of sport and society, Professor Tony Collins. Tracing the history of modern sport from its origins in the burgeoning capitalist economy of mid-eighteenth century England to the globalised corporate sport of today, the book argues that, far from the purity of sport being 'corrupted' by capitalism, modern sport is as much a product of capitalism as the factory, the stock exchange and the unemployment line. Based on original sources, the book explains how sport has been shaped and moulded by the major political and economic events of the past two centuries, such as the French Revolution, the rise of modern nationalism and imperialism, the Russian Revolution, the Cold War and the imposition of the neo-liberal agenda in the last decades of the twentieth century. It highlights the symbiotic relationship between the media and sport, from the simultaneous emergence of print capitalism and modern sport in Georgian England to the rise of Murdoch's global satellite television empire in the twenty-first century, and for the first time it explores the alternative, revolutionary models of sport in the early twentieth century. Sport in a Capitalist Society is the first sustained attempt to explain the emergence of modern sport around the world as an integral part of the globalisation of capitalism. It is essential reading for anybody with an interest in the history or sociology of sport, or the social and cultural history of the modern world.

Liking Ike / David Haven BLAKE, / OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS (2016)  

Titre : Liking Ike : Eisenhower, advertising, and the rise of celebrity politics Type de document : e-book Auteurs : David Haven BLAKE, Editeur : OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS Année de publication : 2016 Importance : 1 online resource (xiv, 281 pages) : Présentation : illustrations ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-19-027819-9 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Management ELECTION ; ETATS-UNIS D'AMERIQUE ; PUBLICITE Mots-clés candidats : Political culture  History  Election  Political activity  United States  20th century.  1952.  1956.  Presidents  Celebrities  Politics and government  1953-1961. Résumé : Liking Ike examines the prominent role that celebrities and advertising agencies played in Dwight Eisenhower`s presidency. Guided by Madison Avenue executives and television pioneers, Eisenhower cultivated famous supporters as a way of building the broad-based support that had eluded Republicans for twenty years. It is customary to see the charismatic John F. Kennedy and his Rat Pack entourage as the beginning of presidential glamour in the United States, but from Walt Disney and Irving Berlin to Jimmy Stewart and Helen Hayes, celebrities regularly appeared in Eisenhower`s campaigns.
