For example, we can see that inequality has tended to increase over time, and that cities can become segregated. But how do such mechanisms work? Analytical sociology is an influential approach to sociology which holds that explanations of social phenomena should focus on the social mechanisms that bring them about. This book evaluates the major features of this approach, focusing on the significance of the notion of mechanism. Leading scholars seek to answer a number of questions in order to explore all the relevant dimensions of mechanism-based explanations in social sciences. How do social mechanisms link together individual actions and social environments? What is the role of multi-agent modelling in the conceptualization of mechanisms? Does the notion of mechanism solve the problem of relevance in social sciences explanations?Analytical Sociology & Social MechanismsSociologySociologyMethodologySocial systemsSociology.SociologyMethodology.Social systems.301.01SOC026000bisacshDemeulenaere PierreUkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910790077203321Analytical sociology and social mechanisms3715868UNINA02371nam 22004813 450 991013613250332120250731080249.00-8254-7973-8(CKB)3710000000915045(VLeBooks)9780825479731(MiAaPQ)EBC32229049(Au-PeEL)EBL32229049(OCoLC)1564843232(EXLCZ)99371000000091504520250731d2014 uy 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierLove Letters from the Edge Meditations for Those Struggling with Brokenness, Trauma, and the Pain of Life1st ed.GRAND RAPIDS :Kregel Publications,2014.©2014.1 online resource (1 p.)0-8254-4347-4 Millions of women in the United States battle with after-effects of suffering so great they've developed post-traumatic stress disorder-the same suffering experienced by soldiers who've gone through war. Sexual and physical abuse, catastrophic accidents, abandonment, natural disasters, invasive medical procedures, and many other painful and overwhelming events can trigger symptoms they are little equipped to deal with and hard-pressed to recognize.Love Letters from the Edge provides a voice for those struggling to express this pain and reveals intimate encouragement for those in desperate need to hear God's words of love and deliverance. This heartfelt devotional focuses on the profound laments in the book of Psalms. Each meditation begins with a letter from someone in the throes of despair and then offers a tender response to their pain from God's perspective. Fresh, honest, and intimate, Love Letters from the Edge will reach readers who never expected to hear good news from where they are and point them toward the hope and healing of Christ.Christian womenPainSufferingChristian women.Pain.Suffering.242.4Beach Shelly1243946Sanchez Wanda1744811MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910136132503321Love Letters from the Edge4412577UNINA
