WHAT IS A HUMAN? - JAMES PAUL GEE KARTONIERT (TB)

In a sweeping synthesis of new research in a number of different disciplines  this book argues
that we humans are not who we think we are. As he explores the interconnections between
cutting-edge work in bioanthropology  evolutionary biology  neuroscience  human language and
learning  and beyond  James Paul Gee advances  also  a personal philosophy of language 
learning  and culture  informed by his decades of work across linguistics and the social
sciences. Gee argues that our schools  institutions  legal systems  and societies are designed
for creatures that do not exist  thus resulting in multiple  interacting crises  such as
climate change  failing institutions  and the rise of nationalist nationalism. As Gee
constructs an understanding of the human that takes into account our social  collective  and
historical nature  as established by recent research  he inspires readers to reflect for
themselves on the very question of who we are-a key consideration for anyone interested in
society  government  schools  health  activism  culture and diversity  or even just survival.
