The presumption has been that the best way to reduce inequalities in educational outcomes is to reduce inequalities in performance. But is this presumption correct? Determined to Succeed? is the first book to offer a comprehensive cross-national examination of the roles of performance and choice in generating inequalities in educational attainment. It combines in-depth studies by country specialists with chapters discussing more general empirical, methodological, and theoretical aspects of educational inequality. The aim is to investigate to what extent inequalities in educational attainment can be attributed to differences in academic performance between socio-economic groups, and to what extent they can be attributed to differences in the choices made by students from these groups. The contributors focus predominantly on inequalities related to parental class and parental education. 410 0$aStudies in Social Inequality 606 $aEducational equalization$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aEducational attainment$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aAcademic achievement$vCross-cultural studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEducational equalization 615 0$aEducational attainment 615 0$aAcademic achievement 676 $a379.2/6 701 $aJackson$b Michelle Victoria$01045860 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462802203321 996 $aDetermined to succeed$92472429 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03101nam 2200613 450 001 9910811914003321 005 20230725055211.0 010 $a92-9092-100-5 035 $a(CKB)3710000000222159 035 $a(EBL)3111107 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001468370 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11837213 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001468370 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11521742 035 $a(PQKB)10135036 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3110978 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3111107 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3111107 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11016001 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL663851 035 $a(OCoLC)891386692 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000222159 100 $a20150213d2010 uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aFocused action $epriorities for addressing climate change in Asia and the Pacific /$f[Asian Development Bank] 210 1$aManila :$cAsian Development Bank,$d2010. 215 $a1 online resource (75 p.) 300 $a"Publication stock no.

In this groundbreaking work he reveals fuller meaning to these stories than previously recognized and underscores the limits of structuralism in understanding them"--$cProvided by publisher. 330 $a"The Bungling Host motif appears in countless indigenous cultures in North America and beyond. In this groundbreaking work Daniel Clement has gathered more than four hundred North American variants of the story to examine how myths acquire meaning for their indigenous users and explores how seemingly absurd narratives can prove to be a rich source of meaning when understood within the appropriate context. In analyzing the Bungling Host tales, Clement considers not only material culture but also social, economic, and cultural life; Native knowledge of the environment; and the world of plants and animals.<BR /><BR /> Clement's analysis uncovers four operational modes in myth construction and clarifies the relationship between mythology and science. Ultimately he demonstrates how science may have developed out of an operational mode that already existed in the mythological mind.<BR />"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aIndian mythology 606 $aFolklore$zNorth America 606 $aIndians of North America$vFolklore 606 $aAnimals$xSymbolic aspects 606 $aEthnology$zNorth America 606 $aMontagnais Indians$vFolklore 606 $aInnu Indians$vFolklore 606 $aMyth 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / Native American Studies$2bisacsh 606 $aLITERARY CRITICISM / Native American$2bisacsh 615 0$aIndian mythology. 615 0$aFolklore 615 0$aIndians of North America 615 0$aAnimals$xSymbolic aspects. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aMontagnais Indians 615 0$aInnu Indians 615 0$aMyth. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Ethnic Studies / Native American Studies. 615 7$aLITERARY CRITICISM / Native American. 676 $a398.208997 686 $aSOC021000$aLIT004060$2bisacsh 700 $aCle?ment$b Daniel$f1951-$01694334 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910815246503321 996 $aThe bungling host$94072819 997 $aUNINA
