A Different Universe: Reinventing Physics from the Bottom Down
ISBN: 9780465038299 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this age of superstring theories and Big Bang cosmology, we're used to thinking of the unknown as impossibly distant from our everyday lives. But in A Different Universe, Nobel Laureate Robert Laughlin argues that the scientific frontier is right under our fingers. Instead of looking for ultimate theories, Laughlin considers the world of emergent properties-meaning the properties, such as the hardness and shape of a crystal, that result from the organization of large numbers of atoms. Laughlin shows us how the most fundamental laws of physics are in fact emergent. A Different...

The Crime of Reason: And the Closing of the Scientific Mind
ISBN: 9780465020287 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. We all agree that the free flow of ideas is essential to creativity. And we like to believe that in our modern, technological world, information is more freely available and flows faster than ever before. But according to Nobel Laureate Robert Laughlin, acquiring information is becoming a danger or even a crime. Increasingly, the really valuable information is private property or a state secret, with the result that it is now easy for a flash of insight, entirely innocently, to infringe a patent or threaten national security. The public pays little attention because this vital information is...

Breaking the Wave: Women, Their Organizations, and Feminism, 1945-1985: Women, Their Organizations, and Feminism, 1945-1985
ISBN: 9780415874007 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Breaking the Wave is the first anthology of original essays by both younger and established scholars that take a long view of feminist activism by systematically examining the dynamics of movement persistence during moments of reaction and backlash. Ranging from the 'civic feminism' of white middle-class organizers and the 'womanism' of Harlem consumers in the immediate postwar period, to the utopian feminism of Massachusetts lesbian softball league founders and environmentally minded feminists in the 1970s and 1980s, Breaking the Wave documents a continuity of activism in both national and...

Chinese Reportage: The Aesthetics of Historical Experience
ISBN: 9780822329718 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Chinese Reportage details for the first time in English the creation and evolution of a distinctive literary genre in twentieth-century China. Reportage literature, while sharing traditional journalism s commitment to the accurate, nonfictional portrayal of experience, was largely produced by authors outside the official news media. In identifying the literary merit of this genre and establishing its significance in China s leftist cultural legacy, Charles A. Laughlin reveals important biases that impede Western understanding of China and, at the same time, supplies an essential...

Ripple Maker: Teaching Effectively & Loving It!
ISBN: 9780615853376 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Today's teachers need encouragement. Too many have lost their passion and purpose as a result of high-stakes testing, lack of administrative support, and the endless stream of unsuccessful reforms. Over half of new teachers today leave the profession before their fifth year. Many veteran teachers are merely hanging on until retirement. Classroom management is more difficult with each passing year. The current generation of students, who have always been 'connected' to the digital world, are becoming disconnected with school. Media outlets and governmental leaders tighten the screws to the...

Reading and the Body: The Physical Practice of Reading
ISBN: 9781137541314 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Throughout the years, literary theory has been dominated by a mind/body dualism, often dismissing the role of the body in reading. Challenging these assumptions, Reading and the Body focuses on reading as a physical practice. In addition to analyzing the role of the eyes, the hands, postures and gestures, bodily habits, and physical spaces in the act of reading, Thomas Mc Laughlin speculates on the implications of this embodiment for the interpretive process. The practice of reading imposes strict physical disciplines on the body, but it also encourages intelligent adaptations and...

Powering the Future: How We Will (Eventually) Solve the Energy Crisis and Fuel the Civilization of Tomorrow
ISBN: 9780465022205 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In Powering the Future, Nobel laureate Robert B. Laughlin transports us two centuries into the future, when we've ceased to use carbon from the ground--either because humans have banned carbon burning or because fuel has simply run out. Boldly, Laughlin predicts no earth-shattering transformations will have taken place. Six generations from now, there will still be soccer moms, shopping malls, and business trips. Firesides will still be snug and warm.
How will we do it? Not by discovering a magic bullet to slay our energy problems, but through a slew of fascinating technologies,... In Powering the Future, Nobel laureate Robert B. Laughlin transports us two centuries into the future, when we've ceased to use carbon from the...

The Literature of Leisure and Chinese Modernity
ISBN: 9780824831257 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Chinese essay is arguably China's most distinctive contribution to modern world literature, and the period of its greatest influence and popularity--the mid-1930s--is the central concern of this book. What Charles Laughlin terms the literature of leisure is a modern literary response to the cultural past that manifests itself most conspicuously in the form of short, informal essay writing (xiaopin wen). Laughlin examines the essay both as a widely practiced and influential genre of literary expression and as an important counter-discourse to the revolutionary tradition of New...
