ISBN: 9780875654089 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Memoirs are tricky, especially when the author isn't widely known. But Janis Stout tackles the memoir with a new and inventive approach-she organizes her memories around the houses she's lived in. "Sometimes," she wrote, "I picture my life as a long row of houses." Houses, she claims, are metaphors for the structures of our lives, and Stout's houses twine their way through this memoir along with reflections on work and retirement, marriages good and bad, and quietness for engaging in the important last work of life. She is, she says, a little different in each house-but each house shaped who...

ISBN: 9780691139951 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Contemporary law and public policy often treat human beings as selfish creatures who respond only to punishments and rewards. Yet every day we behave unselfishly--few of us mug the elderly or steal the paper from our neighbor's yard, and many of us go out of our way to help strangers. We nevertheless overlook our own good behavior and fixate on the bad things people do and how we can stop them. In this pathbreaking book, acclaimed law and economics scholar Lynn Stout argues that this focus neglects the crucial role our better impulses could play in society. Rather than lean on the power of... Contemporary law and public policy often treat human beings as selfish creatures who respond only to punishments and rewards. Yet every day we beha... |
