Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Experimental Secrets addresses an unsettling question asked in recent years about the revolutionary potential of modern biotechnology: might the knowledge being gained be used to further--rather than prevent--the spread of disease? In other words, might the life sciences become the death sciences? To avert this prospect, many governments, science agencies, and others have proposed that researchers should subscribe to new codes of conduct. Experimental Secrets recounts five years of international efforts to devise such codes. These initiatives have raised a question of profound significance:...

How to Look Good in a War: Justifying and Challenging State Violence
ISBN: 9780745331805 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

Many books have shown how 'truth is the first casualty of war' but this is the first to analyse exactly how pro-war narratives are constructed and normalised.
Brian Rappert details the 'upside-down' world of war in which revelation conceals, knowledge fosters uncertainty, and transparency obscures. He looks at government spin during recent wars in Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya where officials manoeuvre between circulating and withholding information. Examining how organised...
