Retrospect and prospect / Max Kaase.Social capital is not only usefel for the person who owns it, but it may also foster the integration of a society and the stability of a democracy. Friendly relations, social trust and norms of reciprocity ease the living together in a society and encourage people to take part in democratic decision making. This volume examines the differences in levels, causes and consequences of social capital between 22 European countries surveyed in the 2002 European Social Survey. At first glance, social capital differs strongly between countries. Yet the determinants of social capital differ strongly between European people as well. If one takes account of the latter, the former may no longer appear so large. The volume asks whether this is indeed the case so that a similiarity of countries goes along with a diversity of people. To examine this, muliti-level analyses are used in each contribution.International comparative social studies ;v. 16.Social capital (Sociology)EuropeEuropeSocial conditionsElectronic books.Social capital (Sociology)302.094Meulemann Heiner923210MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454095903321Social capital in Europe2071609UNINA04197nam 2200625 450 991045973100332120200520144314.01-4426-5738-310.3138/9781442657380(CKB)3710000000324288(EBL)3296888(SSID)ssj0001403571(PQKBManifestationID)12571049(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001403571(PQKBWorkID)11369871(PQKB)11683342(MiAaPQ)EBC4669978(DE-B1597)465579(OCoLC)979743179(DE-B1597)9781442657380(Au-PeEL)EBL4669978(CaPaEBR)ebr11256492(OCoLC)958578395(EXLCZ)99371000000032428820160920h20072007 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe filled pen selected non-fictionToronto, [Ontario] ;Buffalo, [New York] ;London, [England] :University of Toronto Press,2007.©20071 online resource (152 p.)HeritageIncludes index.0-8020-9108-3 0-8020-9399-X Frontmatter --Contents --Acknowledgments --Author's Foreword --Editor's Introduction --A Writer's Life --Safe at Home --Falling in Love with Poetry --Had I Not Been a Writer, What Would I Have Been? --Questions and Images --Traveller, Conjuror, Journeyman --Afterword to A Flask of Sea Water --Fairy Tales, Folk Tales: The Language of the Imagination --Foreword to Hologram --The Sense of Angels: Reflections on A.M.

Page is best known as one of Canada's finest poets, but over the course of her career she has also written a number of essays - meditations - on her life and work, on the nature of art and the imagination, and on Canadian works of literature, painting, and film that have had special significance for her. As lovers of her poetry would hope and expect, these essays are beautiful, intelligent, moving, and delightfully quirky. The Filled Pen brings together the most important of these essays, including two previously unpublished: A Writer's Life and Fairy Tales, Folk Tales: The Language of the Imagination.. Zailig Pollock, Page scholar and professor of English at Trent University, has edited and annotated this collection for admirers of Page's work, general readers, and academics alike.The essays, which cover a period of approximately forty years, reflect Page's enduring concerns as a verbal and visual artist with the power of art and the imagination to transcend the barriers that limit our perceptions of the world and our sympathies with our fellow human beings. Page is more interested in posing questions than imposing answers; and fascinated as she is by a wide range of ideas, from ancient mysticism to modern neurophysiology, it is images, endlessly evocative and suggestive, that matter to her most. Her comments on A.M. Klein from "A Sense of Angels", one of the most moving and perceptive tributes by one poet to another, apply very much to the P.K. Page we see in The Filled Pen: "For all his interest in the immediate world ... for all his acceptance of ideological and psychological theory, he seemed to reach beyond both to a larger reality."EssaysEssays20th centuryElectronic books.Essays.Essays808.4Page P.
