Rockfield High University is one of Seoul's most prestigious educational institutes, where people of different ethnicities enroll to make their dreams come true. But since June 1, 2015, women in their twenties have started going missing. Seoul's streets are no longer safe, and walking late at night is prohibited. Aria Heart is nineteen, half-American, and carefree. She's cute, friendly, and mostly careless of her surroundings and belongings. She misplaces her diary somewhere, and even though Aria isn't worried, her best friend plans a break-in at the university just to get it back. They never could have forseen the effects of their actions. Detective Oh Yejun is a criminal-catching prodigy. He begins his time at Rockfield High University by studying the cases of the missing girls but soon progresses to another case that leaves him completely baffled. How are the missing women related? What does Aria Heart have to do with it, and can Yejun make sense of the seeming chaos before it's too late?

Attachment in Social Networks
Author: L.W.C. Tavecchio
Publisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080866980
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 505
Book Description
The main objective of the research presented in this book is to broaden the scope of attachment theory by stressing the importance of a social network approach to the study of attachment.This approach forms the integrating theme of this volume, as is testified by various studies of attachment as it develops in an "extended" rearing context over and beyond the limits of the traditional mother-child dyad. In this connection attention is paid to the importance of sibling relationships, attachment relationships with professional caregivers, the role of the father in caring and rearing young children, and the (short-term and long-term) effects on attachment quality of maternal employment in infancy. Also, the cross-cultural validity of Ainsworth's Strange Situation is discussed, with reference to the USA, Sweden, Israel, Japan, The Netherlands, etc. In adopting a social network approach, the attachment theory proves to be a particularly useful instrument for reflecting on the consequence of social change (maternal employment, symmetrical families, socialisation of childrearing) for child development.

Learning From Strangers
Author: Robert S. Weiss
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1439106983
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 262
Book Description
Learning From Strangers is the definitive work on qualitative research interviewing. It draws on Robert Weiss's thirty years of experience in interviewing and teaching others how to do it. The most effective interviews, says Weiss, rely on creating cooperation -- an open and trusting alliance between interviewer and respondent, dedicated to specific and honest accounts of both internal and external events. Against the eclectic background of his work in national sample surveys, studies based on semi-structured interviewing, and participant observation, Weiss walks the reader through the method of qualitative interview studies: sample selection, development of an interview guide, the conduct of the interview, analysis, and preparation of the data. Weiss gives examples of successful and less successful interviews and offers specific techniques and guidelines for the practitioner.

Strangers in Paradise
Author: David Mittelberg
Publisher: Transaction Publishers
ISBN: 9781412835183
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
The literature on the Kibbutz is large and sprawling. This stands in marked contrast to the intimacy and proximity of the individuals who have actually participated in the life of the Kibbutz. In this quite remarkable work, David Mittelberg succeeds in capturing the specific life styles and aspirations of the Kibbutzniks. And he does so by integrating this within the broad and rich traditions of the sociology of culture and religion. Strangers in Paradise provides a massive amount of current data on Jewish and non-Jewish volunteers, division of labor by sex and language of origins, demographic characteristics of Kibbutz hosts and recruits, and a variety of attitude measures far beyond any other work in the literature. But what gives special value to this effort is its unusual utilization of the phenomenological tradition - from Simmel to Schutz, to Berger and Luckmann - along with recent efforts in organization and negotiation theory - from Blau to Goffman - in order to explicate this massive data. A special element in this volume is the central place accorded to voluntarism in an open culture. For Mittelberg, membership in the Kibbutz is at its core a voluntary act of individuals who commit their lives, or a portion thereof, to a collective movement in a strange land. This is a study then in "intentional communities" rather than Utopian organizations. The synthesis of the concrete and the abstract, the empirical and the theoretical, will establish Mittelberg's volume as a new standard in Kibbutz studies.

Brothers and Strangers
Author: Steven E. Aschheim
Publisher: Univ of Wisconsin Press
ISBN: 0299091139
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 364
Book Description
Brothers and Strangers traces the history of German Jewish attitudes, policies, and stereotypical images toward Eastern European Jews, demonstrating the ways in which the historic rupture between Eastern and Western Jewry developed as a function of modernism and its imperatives. By the 1880s, most German Jews had inherited and used such negative images to symbolize rejection of their own ghetto past and to emphasize the contrast between modern “enlightened” Jewry and its “half-Asian” counterpart. Moreover, stereotypes of the ghetto and the Eastern Jew figured prominently in the growth and disposition of German anti-Semitism. Not everyone shared these negative preconceptions, however, and over the years a competing post-liberal image emerged of the Ostjude as cultural hero. Brothers and Strangers examines the genesis, development, and consequences of these changing forces in their often complex cultural, political, and intellectual contexts.
