Politics on the Endless Frontier: Postwar Research Policy in the United States
ISBN: 9780822315834 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Toward what end does the U.S. government support science and technology?

Vanishing Bees: Science, Politics, and Honeybee Health
ISBN: 9780813574585 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In 2005, beekeepers in the United States began observing a mysterious and disturbing phenomenon: once-healthy colonies of bees were suddenly collapsing, leaving behind empty hives full of honey and pollen. Over the following decade, widespread honeybee deaths--some of which have come to be called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD)--have continued to bedevil beekeepers and threaten the agricultural industries that rely on bees for pollination. Scientists continue to debate the causes of CCD, yet there is no clear consensus on how to best solve the problem. Vanishing Bees takes us inside the...

ISBN: 9780415531528 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 540 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.
