Freeing Trade in North America
ISBN: 9781788210614 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Conceived in an era of rapid post-Cold War economic liberalization, the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), signed in 1994, brought together Canada, Mexico and the United States with the aim of creating a regional trade bloc that eliminated the friction and costs of trade between the three nations. Without an overarching institutional framework, NAFTA never sought to attain the levels of integration achieved by the European Union - for many it was a missed opportunity - and never quite fulfilled its potential as a single market. And under Trump's administration a trilateral...

Teensy Weensy Universe: Quantum Mechanical Model of the Universe as We Know It: Quantum Mechanical Model of the Universe as We Know It
ISBN: 9781536165166 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Works on quantum mechanics (astronomy, cosmology etc.) often mention that "the laws of quantum mechanics" don't apply in the "macro world". It all depends on what you mean by "macro world". How many atoms constitute the limit, just a couple of them, or a glass of milk, a sizeable house, a city, a continent? Instead, let's dream big, the whole Planet, maybe our Solar system, our Galaxy, or the Universe as we know ita| In this book, we don't mean to "extend" quantum mechanics. As physical models go: given a world view we find the boundary conditions, set up a mathematical model corresponding to...

Caravaggio: Fashion and Fabrics
ISBN: 9788836635146 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The historic textile collections belonging to the Diocese of Novara and preserved within the ancient sacristies of its many churches, have inspired the volume Caravaggio: Fashion and Fabrics. Caravaggio's ability to capture in paint such precious garments, with their shimmering weaves, arabesque-like patterns and decorative motifs informs a new narrative, exploring how clothing may indicate much more than a mere fashion choice. Using Caravaggio's The Cardsharps as the focus, we may understand how the three figures depicted are set in contrast: by social class, age and appearance. These...
