Hvorfor gjør vi feil? Og hvorfor i all verden fortsetter vi å gjøre de samme feilene gang på gang? Vi tenker i ett av to systemer ? enten raskt, intuitivt og følelsesdrevet, eller langsomt, rasjonelt og logisk. Begge systemene er nødvendige, og begge har sine svakheter. Gjennom å forstå de to systemene, og hvordan de kan balanseres og virke sammen, skjønner vi mer av oss selv og hverandre ? og samtidig lærer vi hvordan vi selv kan ta bedre avgjørelser, personlig og økonomisk. Tenke, fort og langsomt forklarer oss hvordan vi tenker og tar beslutninger, gjerne stikk i strid med vedtatte psykologiske og økonomiske sannheter. Ukonvensjonell og utradisjonell, overraskende og overbevisende ? boken vil endre hvordan du tenker om å tenke for alltid

De sosiale, mobile og digitale mediene har i løpet av få år blitt de dominerende kulturelle verktøyene våre. Hva betyr dette for skole, læring, danning, oppvekst og hverdagsliv? Dette er viktige temaer i mediepedagogikken, som er et svært dynamisk og viktig fagfelt i en tid der medieutviklingen er rask og omfattende. Medier og mediebruk har fått så stor betydning for demokrati og deltakelse, identitetsutvikling og meningsdannelse at mediepedagogikk kan sies å være en samfunnskunnskap for en ny tid. Sentrale spørsmål i denne boken er hvordan mediepedagogikken kan bidra når det gjelder å forstå danning og læring i den mediedominerte kulturen. Forskere i det mediepedagogiske landskapet drøfter her sentrale temaer som mediekompetanse, digital danning og mediepedagogikkens teorigrunnlag. Kapitlene bidrar med ny innsikt i dagsaktuelle problemstillinger som digitale læringsliv, multimodal tekstanalyse, mediepanikk, medier og kroppsfokus, mediereguleringens betydning for digitale ferdigheter, nettbrett i skolen og digital kompetanse i høyere utdanning. Boka henvender seg til studenter og forskere innen pedagogikk, mediepedagogikk, medievitenskap og i lærerutdanningen, og til andre som interesserer seg for mediepedagogiske perspektiver. Boka er redigert av universitetslektor Vegard Frantzen og førsteamanuensis Daniel Schofield, begge ansatt ved Institutt for pedagogikk og livslang læring ved NTNU.

Why do human beings believe in divinities? Why do some seek eternal life, while others seek escape from recurring lives? Why do the beliefs and behaviors we typically call "religious" so deeply affect the human personality and so subtly weave their way through human society? Revised and updated in this third edition, Nine Theories of Religion considers how these fundamental questions have engaged the most important thinkers of the modern era. Accessible, systematic, and succinct, it considers the Victorian anthropology of E. B. Tylor and J. G. Frazer, the "reductionist" social science of Sigmund Freud, Emile Durkheim, and Karl Marx, the non-reductionist approaches of Max Weber, William James, and Mircea Eliade, and the alternative paradigms that havearisen from the work of E. E. Evans-Pritchard and Clifford Geertz. The third edition features a new chapter on William James. Each chapter offers biographical background, theoretical exposition, conceptual analysis, and critical assessment. Ideal as a supplementary text in introductory religion courses or as the main text in theory and method in religious studies or in sociology of religion courses, Nine Theories of Religion, Third Edition, offers an illuminating treatment of this controversial and fascinating subject. It can be used as a stand-alone text or with the author's companion reader, Introducing Religion: Readings from the Classic Theorists.
