Explore the profound intellectual legacy of the Scottish Enlightenment through a unique Japanese lens in this essential volume from Routledge. This book compiles the influential scholarship of Tatsuya Sakamoto, a preeminent Japanese historian of social and economic thought. Sakamoto's work offers a cohesive and insightful examination of David Hume and Adam Smith, masterfully bridging their philosophical and economic ideas. A central theme is Sakamoto's pioneering analysis of Hume's "philosophical economics," a framework that integrates Hume's moral philosophy with his economic thought. This approach provides a more holistic understanding of his social philosophy, moving beyond segmented studies. The collection also highlights Sakamoto's significant biographical contributions, including important manuscript dating and the discovery of new evidence related to Hume's review of Smith's work. The scope extends to Adam Smith and Francis Hutcheson, tracing the genesis of economics and moral theory during this pivotal era. Sakamoto's expertise illuminates the intricate development of ideas that shaped modern thought. A particularly compelling section investigates the reception and influence of Adam Smith's theories in Japan from the Meiji period onward, offering a rare perspective on East-West intellectual exchange. Published by Routledge, this book is an indispensable resource for scholars and advanced students in the history of economic thought, Hume studies, and broader intellectual history. It presents a sophisticated, cross-cultural analysis that deepens our appreciation for these foundational thinkers.

Reading picture books with infants and toddlers facilitates their early language development with far-reaching benefits for their later reading abilities and academic achievement. While the importance of reading books with children aged from 3 to 5 years is widely recognised the benefits of reading with much younger children from 0 to 3 years who are still engaged in learning their first language are less well understood. This book will explore the seemingly simple practice of reading picture books with infants and toddlers aged 0–3 years from a range of perspectives. Not only do book-focused adult–child interactions support language and early literacy development in multiple ways such interactions can also at the same time foster intellectual social emotional and spiritual growth. By weaving together in an accessible manner the insights from several different discipline areas this book will explain how and why reading with infants and toddlers has such power to enrich their lives. Providing an evidence-based theoretically informed account Reading Picture Books with Infants and Toddlers supports educators parents and caregivers with the knowledge skills and motivation to provide frequent enjoyable and language-rich reading experiences with infants and toddlers. | Reading Picture Books with Infants and Toddlers Learning Through Language

This book poses a simple question: how is this architecture possible? To respond it will embark on a captivating journey through many singular architectural concepts. The entasis of Doric columns Ulysses and desert islands will outline an architectural act that moves beyond representation. A ferryman who stutters will present two different types of architectural minds. A stilus and a theory of signs will reconsider the ways architects can develop a particular kind of intuition while architectural technicities will bring forth a membranic and territorial understanding of architecture. Finally as a melody that sings itself a larval architecture will be introduced bringing space and time together. Assisting this endeavour the thought of philosophers like Gilles Deleuze Felix Guattari Gilbert Simondon and Raymond Ruyer will meet the latest developments in fields like affect theory cognitive sciences environmental studies and neuroanthropology. Eventually by the end of this book the readers – from architecture students and researchers to academics and practitioners with an interest in theory – will have been exposed to a comprehensive and original philosophy of architecture and the built environment. | Architectural Technicities A Foray Into Larval Space

Bringing a design perspective to the birth environment this fascinating book collects and critically examines the knowledge we have. It exposes the social political and historical thinking that influences the way birth spaces have been designed and looks at how they can be designed in future. The book starts by examining changing historical attitudes to childbirth and uses maternity and architectural policy and practice to develop this story. It explores both the idea of fitting childbirth into the machine and the resistance to this along with the emergence of the idea of the birth environment. From there it describes the best evidence we have on how the design of spaces impact on childbirth experiences and outcomes. Drawing on an international selection of case studies the book gives the reader insights into regional differences in birth culture and environments across the globe and offers the opportunity to imagine birth environments of the future based on the most up-to-date evidence from medicine midwifery anthropology design and architecture. Including practical recommendations as well as big picture thinking this book is written for all those with an interest in creating the best possible environments for childbirth as part of supporting a healthy start to a child’s life. It is especially relevant for midwives and other maternity care practitioners and administrators. | Birth Environments Spaces and Architecture A Guide for Everyone

This book defines and galvanizes a new approach to education through refocusing it on human relations. Following on the heels of lackluster accountability- and choice-based reforms this approach suggests that meaningful educational change depends on recognition that relations between students and teachers and among students are critically important. Stakeholders must create intentional policies and practices that allow the relational side of education to flourish. Focusing on the PK-12 educational system Pedagogy of Relation provides support for the claim that relations are the basis for successful learning—that education is a profoundly social activity—and to push educational reform in a new direction. | Pedagogy Of Relation Education After Reform

This book explores the social and economic development of Zimbabwe Zambia and Malawi over the course of the twentieth century. These three countries have long shared and interconnected pasts. All three were drawn into the British Empire at a similar time and the formation of the ill-fated Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland formally linked these countries together for a decade in the mid-twentieth century. This formal political relationship created dynamics that resulted in yet closer economic and social links. After Federation the economic realities of industry transport and labour supplies meant that these three countries continued to be intricately interconnected. Yet despite these connected pasts comparative work on the economic histories of Malawi Zambia and Zimbabwe and how these change over time is rare. This book addresses the gap by providing the first comprehensive collection of labour and census data across the twentieth century for these three countries. The different economic models and performances of these states offer good comparison allowing researchers to look at different models of development and how these played out over the long-term. The book provides data on population growth and change industrial and occupational structure and the various shifts in what the economically active population did. It will be useful for historians economists development studies scholars and non-governmental organisations working on twentieth-century and contemporary southern Africa. | Labour and Economic Change in Southern Africa c. 1900-2000 Zimbabwe Zambia and Malawi
