Drawing on extensive archival research as well as a broad range of secondary sources, Bannister provides a groundbreaking reinterpretation of a critical period in Newfoundland's colonial development."--Jacket

This book is a collection of different studies in the history and development of powerful philosophical ideas, though it is not confined to a particular stage in this history. It highlights to the reader that looking at the history of insightful connections and theories increases the awareness of the importance of providing a historical context that develops a conversation: ideas require minds concerned with them, which renders ideas almost living things. The book studies and relates the ideas of philosophers including Duns Scotus, Leibniz, Hegel, Royce, Kierkegaard, Peirce, and James, among others. If this conversation is an intelligent process, since it requires serious and continuous thought, then these ideas progress along with the minds that conceptualise them.

Este texto tem como objetivo resgatar a participação feminina na constituição da história do Serviço Social, dando visibilidade aos caminhos percorridos e aos papéis desempenhados por algumas mulheres. Para isso, analisamos o caso das pioneiras da Escola de Serviço Social de Niterói, da Universidade Federal Fluminense (ESSN/UFF). O resgate de suas falas, através da história oral, foi o caminho metodologicamente traçado. Iniciamos o texto revisitando a história profissional para, em seguida, discutirmos acerca da necessidade de retirar da invisibilidade o protagonismo dessas mulheres ao construir uma profissão. Aprofundar essa dimensão aponta para a importância de pensarmos algumas questões, como a história das mulheres, o uso da dimensão do gênero e os feminismos na pesquisa acadêmica, o que compreendemos como um grande desafio que se coloca para a profissão.Palavras-Chave: história do Serviço Social; feminismo; gênero e história das mulheres. Abstract – This text aims to recuperate the participation of women in the constitution of the history of social work, giving visibility to the paths covered and the roles played by women. In order to do this, we analyze the case of the pioneers of the Universidade Federal Fluminense's Niterói School of Social Service (ESSN/UFF). The recuperation of their speeches, through oral history, was the methodological route. We begin the text revisiting the professional history and then discuss the need to remove from invisibility the protagonism of these women when building a profession. Deepening this dimension points to the importance of thinking about some issues, such as the history of women, the use of the gender dimension and feminisms in academic research, which we understand as a great challenge for the profession.Keywords: history of social work; feminism; gender and women's history.

Sports and Violence is an edited collection arising out of the 2016 Sports and Violence Conference, hosted at the Ashland Center for Nonviolence at Ashland University, Ohio, USA. This volume contains 11 essays authored by a range of scholars reflecting on the confluence of violence within organized sports. The three sections of the book (history, theory, and practice) create a full-scale exploration of this topic. The authors not only detail past phenomena of sports violence, but also offer ethnographic and sociological explorations alongside philosophical treatments of sports violence. Crucia

This paper investigates the actions of a small, yet influential group of American economists who sought to claim economic history for themselves and use it as a springboard to launch a wider transformation of economics. Their actions constitute an episode of dissent in the history of twentieth century economics, albeit an unusual one. These dissenters were not a socially or intellectually marginalized group, but rather a set of privileged scholars who were able to leverage their contacts within the profession and amongst its patrons to further their vision. Their actions could almost be described in Kuhnian terms: they consciously sought to trigger a "paradigm shift" to bring about a social science better suited, in their views, to a world in political and economic turmoil (Kuhn 1962). In spite of the Kuhnian allusion to "scientific revolution," this paper is not about the 1960s "cliometric revolution," but about the 1940s and '50s and the little known events that led to the creation of the Economic History Association, the Journal of Economic History, and Explorations in Entrepreneurial History (subsequently Explorations in Economic History).
