In this fresh look at our justifications for punishment Walker argues that the modern retributive theory of punishment has not solved the problems of the classical utilitarian approach and has indeed created new ones of its own Having researched these problems and discussed them with judges magistrates jurists philosophers and prisoners he distinguishes rhetoric from hard reasoning and shows that attempts at intellectual compromises between utilitarians and retributivists do not stand up to close examination The book also deals with aspects normally left to theologians such as remorse and forgiveness and with the humanitarian movement

God must punish sin How could anyone say such a thing God is love isnt he So how can he seek retribution People often find the Christian faith attractive except for this unpopular subject of an angry God who time and again in the Bible acts in judgement and punishment Even Christians who accept the Bible as the authoritative Word of God can feel deeply uncomfortable about it all This book was born out of the authors own struggles with this issue and he writes with empathy as well as intellectual rigour answering questions such as Why cant God just pass over wrongdoing How does the God who punishes fit with the God who is love And why is the death of Jesus on a cross the ultimate expression of Gods love Amazingly we discover that only by understanding Gods determination to punish sin can we truly appreciate His astounding love unimaginably and uniquely love that is truly just yet freely available to every one of us Written with sceptical nonChristians in mind as well as Christians struggling with the concept of a God who punishes sin

This book on buildings asks the question why so many buildings punish and restrict us because almost none of them adapt well In real use buildings need to adapt because their uses are constantly changing All buildings are predictions and yet more highstyle buildings are designed not to change not to accommodate new use A good portion of how buildings learn will be a natural history of how buildings change with time and what things work to make buildings adapt gracefully what building layouts allow easy redefinition of space and building code considerations that permit remodelling This practical book aims to integrate all the different aspects of the fragmented design and construction process so that buildings can be seen as embodying a functional yet aesthetic and capacious vision not the conflicts compromises and conveniences of clients architects engineers and contractors all working in their interests not the buildings

Find tips, reviews, and features on Social Dilemmas Understanding Human Cooperation sold for 49.66 $ , available in the Books & Magazines category; this product belongs to and is sold by Abebooks.com.
One of the key scientific challenges is the puzzle of human cooperation Why do people cooperate Why do people help strangers even sometimes at a major cost to themselves Why do people want to punish people who violate norms and undermine collective interests This book is inspired by the fact that social dilemmas defined in terms of conflicts between often shortterm selfinterest and often longerterm collective interest are omnipresent The book centers on two major themes The first theme centers on the theoretical understanding of human cooperation are people indeed otherregarding The second theme is more practical and perhaps normative how can cooperation be promoted This question is at the heart of the functioning of relationships organizations as well as the society as a whole In capturing the breadth and relevance of social dilemmas and psychology of human cooperation this book is structured in three parts The first part focuses on the definition of social dilemmas along with the historical development of scientific theorizing of human cooperation and the development of social dilemma as a game in which to study cooperation The second part presents three chapters each of which adopts a relatively unique perspective on human cooperation an evolutionary perspective a psychological perspective and a cultural perspective The third part focuses on applications of social dilemmas in domains as broad and important as management and organizations environmental issues politics national security and health Social Dilemmas is strongly inspired by the notion that science is never finished Each chapter therefore concludes with a discussion of two or more basic issues that are often inherently intriguing and often need more research and theory The concluding chapter outlines avenues for future directions
