Author Description

This Book Includes A Collection Of Chapters Authored By Scholars In Various Parts Of The World, Who Share An Interest In Those Multiword Terms That Have Learning As The First Word. The Type Of Such Terms That Are Examined In The Book Includes Learning Toy; Learning Organization; Learning Economy; And Learning City. The Book, As A Unit, Is Multidisciplinary As Well As Multi-paradigmatic. The Book's Ambition Is To Help To Make Sense Of The Learning Turn - In Terms Of A Myriad Of Multiword Terms That Have Learning As A Premodifier, Of Which Some Came To Be Incredibly Popular. The Book Makes Efforts To Make Sense Of Both How Come The Specific Premodifier Learning Several Decades Ago Became So Very Popular In The First Place, And How The De-popularization Of It, Which Some Indications Point At Has Started To Take Place, Could Be Made Sense Of. The Majority Of Chapters Are Criticizing An Unreflective Use Of Learning As A Premodifier And Are, Thus, Mainly Critical Toward The Existence Of The Terms That The Authors Critically Examine. There Are, Though, Also A Few Chapters Whose Main Aim Is To Understand The Usage Of The Learning Premodifier, Rather Than Criticizing It. The Book Offers Proof Of The Usage As Well As Of The Popularity Of The Learning Premodifier; Consequences Stemming From The Usage Of The Learning Premodifier; Plausible Replacing Premodifiers (such As Knowledge Or Smart); And Suggestions As To How Unreflective Usage Of The Learning Premodifier Could Be Avoided-- Provided By Publisher.
