Ian Taylor

Ian Taylor, Paul Walton y Jock Young llevan a cabo en el presente volumen, a traves de una exposicion exhaustiva de las principales ideas en criminologia desde sus comienzos hasta la actualidad, una critica revitalizadora, amplia y reflexiva de la criminologia. Su proposito final es presentar una teoria que sirve para sacar a esta ciencia de su confinamiento en problemas concretos, artificialmente separados, a fin de que se ocupe de una cuestion basica: la relacion del hombre con las estructuras de autoridad. Si el delito, las conductas desviadas y el disenso -afirman estos expertos- llevan a que las personas que incurren en ellos sean, en numero cada vez mayor, encarceladas, internadas en hospitales psiquiatricos o recluidas en reformatorios por considerar que requieren control, es oportuno que las sociedades en que esto acontece realicen una critica inmanente de la teoria criminologica que sustentan.El poder reorientador de esta obra reside en su capacidad de demostrar que todos los estudios sobre el delito y la conducta desviada, aun estando profundamente arraigados en sus propias tradiciones especializadas, tambien se hallan condicionados por teorias sociales mas amplias y generales que siempre estan presentes y tienen importancia, aunque se guarde silencio sobre ellas. Este significativo estudio reencauza toda la estructura del discurso tecnico acerca del delito y la conducta desviada rompiendo ese silencio, lanzandose a un discurso deliberado sobre la teoria social general que solo suele figurar tacitamente en los trabajos especializados. Si un libro puede lograr que la criminologia llegue a ser una disciplina intelectualmente seria y no solo profesionalmente respetable, estaobra, notable por la forma en que combina lo analitico con lo historico, lo lograra.

Se lleva a cabo en este libro una crítica revitalizadora, amplia y reflexiva de la criminología. Partiendo del enfoque utilitarista clásico, los autores describen las diversas variedades de positivismo biologico, psicologico y social, la teoria de la rotulacion social, la etnometodologia y la teoria del conflicto social, deteniendose especialmente en los aportes de Merton, Durkheim, Wright Mills, Trasler, Talcott Parsons, los miembros de la escuela de Chicago y otros contemporaneos europeos y norteamericanos. Su proposito final es presentar una teoria que sirva para sacar a esta ciencia de su confinamiento en problemas concretos, artificialmente separados, a fin de que se ocupe de una cuestion basica: la relacion del hombre con las estructuras de autoridad. Este significativo estudio reencauza toda la estructura del discurso tecnico acerca del delito y la conducta desviada lanzandose a un discurso deliberado sobre la teoria social general que solo suele figurar tacitamente en los trabajos especializados.

We think of time as scarce and finite. We say we dont have enough time, that time is against us, and that time waits for no one. But what if we could make time feel more abundant? How can we make time work for rather than against us?In Time Hacks, Dr Ian Taylor - a world-leading expert in the science of the human mind - draws on the latest psychological research to reveal how we can develop a healthier relationship to time; one where we can break free of the cycle of boredom and mania, be more productive, and bring balance to all parts of our lives.In the process, he demonstrates why all difficult tasks should be done early in the morning, the detrimental effects of relying on willpower, why we should use be goals to sustain motivation, and how to replace dead time with activities that nourish the soul.Fascinating and eye-opening, Time Hacks will show you how to use the power of psychology to feel less time pressured, boost your mental and physical health, and break free from the tyranny of your alarm clock.
