Burner
ISBN: 9780595385096 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) "Burner" is the study-in-motion of Isaac BenGurian, a cerebral, tortured man to whom both Socrates and Attila the Hun would offer a respectful nod. His grasp of the physical sciences, computer technology, and literature is unparalleled. But these 'tricks of the mind" do not nourish his pride, nor do they define him with any degree of accuracy. To know him, one must look to the nightmare of his personal history, and to the leisure-time pursuit for which he has developed a considerable passion: Isaac roots out modern-day 'monsters"-sociopaths who are above the law in every practical sense, men...

Direct Democracy in Switzerland
ISBN: 9781412805056 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Only one country in the world-Switzerland-is a direct democracy, in which, to an extent, the people pass their own laws, judge the constitutionality of statutes, and even have written, in effect, their own constitution. In this propitious volume, Gregory Fossedal reports on the politics and social fabric of what James Bryce has called "the nation that has taken the democratic idea to its furthest extent." The lessons Fossedal presents, at a time of dissatisfaction with the role of money and privileged elites in many Western democracies, are at once timely and urgent.

Scattering from Black Holes
ISBN: 9780521112109 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) This book investigates the propagation of waves in the presence of black holes. Astrophysical black holes may eventually be probed by these techniques. The authors emphasise intuitive physical thinking in their treatment of the techniques of analysis of scattering, but alternate this with chapters on the rigourous mathematical development of the subject. High and low energy limiting cases are treated extensively and semi-classical results are also obtained. The analogy between Newtonian gravitational scattering and Coulomb quantum mechanical scattering is fully exploited. The book introduces...
