Each essay explores the meanings and uses of the word; and also the controversies they have sparked. The book aims to be a first port of call for students, researchers and scholars who wish to familiarize themselves with these key ideas and use them in their own work. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book is neither an encyclopaedia nor a dictionary, but a thesaurus. As such it combines both the original meaning of a thesaurus as a treasure trove, with its more contemporary characteristics of an accessible and practical resource. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePrimarily aimed to those interested in social and organizational studies, it will appeal to all those interested in the human sciences. It does not claim to be canonical or all-inclusive, but each entry seeks to enlighten and help, without patronizing or obscuring disagreements and difficulties. The book seeks to be re-assuring without being complacent or \"comfortable\", to be authoritative without being doctrinaire, and to be critical without being destructive. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWords help us express ourselves, and make sense of our experiences and our actions; and they help us to organize ourselves, our thoughts and our universe. \u003cem\u003eOrganizing Words\u003c\/em\u003e will be an invaluable resource for essay-writing and a useful tool in planning and carrying out projects and dissertations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMost of the entries have been written by Yiannis Gabriel, with 40 essays coming from experts in particular areas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yiannis Gabriel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0199213224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199213221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/05\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.80h x 6.70w x 1.30d","brand":"Yiannis Gabriel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47419020116223,"sku":"9780199213221","price":93.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2a64bdcb-e8a7-474e-9cdb-580be25fdff0.jpg?v=1761508950","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/organizing-words-yiannis-gabriel-9780199213221","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
