The Supreme Court in American Politics: New Institutionalist Interpretations
ISBN: 9780700609765 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. For decades political scientists studying the Court have adopted behavioral approaches and focused on the relatively narrow question of how the justices' policy preferences influence their voting behavior. This emphasis has illuminated important aspects of Supreme Court politics, but it has also left unaddressed many other important questions about this unique and fascinating institution. Drawing on "the new institutionalism" in the social sciences, the distinguished contributors to this volume attempt to fill this gap by exploring a variety of topics, including the Court's institutional...

Viennese Jewish Modernism: Freud, Hofmannsthal, Beer-Hofmann, and Schnitzler
ISBN: 9780271034096 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In Viennese Jewish Modernism, Abigail Gillman challenges the conventional understanding of modernism as simply a break from tradition. Until recently, the study of Jewish modernism has centered on questions of Jewish and non-Jewish identity, generally ignoring the role Judaism played in the formulation of European modernism as a whole. By focusing on the works of major Viennese authors and thinkers--Freud, Hofmannsthal, Beer-Hofmann, and Schnitzler--both within and outside the contexts of Jewish identity, Abigail Gillman provides a profound new perspective on modernism....

The Constitution Besieged: The Rise & Demise of Lochner Era Police Powers Jurisprudence
ISBN: 9780822316428 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "The Constitution Besieged" offers a compelling reinterpretation of one of the most notorious periods in American constitutional history. In the decades following the Civil War, federal and state judges struck down as unconstitutional a great deal of innovative social and economic legislation. Scholars have traditionally viewed this as the work of a conservative judiciary more interested in promoting laissez-faire economics than in interpreting the Constitution. Gillman challenges this scholarly orthodoxy by showing how these judges were in fact observing a long-standing constitutional...

It was in May, 1902 that the life of Julia Moriarty, the evil sister of Professor James Moriarty, was finally snuffed out. After the demise of her brother at the Reichenbach Falls, she had tirelessly sought revenge on Sherlock Holmes. Resurrecting her brother's criminal network, she became the one opponent who seemed worthy to challenge the intellect of Holmes. Equally as intelligent as her brother, although, perhaps, lacking his finesse and menace, Julia Moriarty reigned for eight years. Throughout that time, she was driven by a single thought, to destroy Holmes, the man she blamed for her...

Nitrous Oxide & Neurotransmission
ISBN: 9781614701064 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 299 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. As a lipid-soluble molecule, nitrous oxide enters the brain rapidly to alter the flow of information along a multitude of neuronal pathways and synapses by interfering with membrane ion channels and the action of key neurotransmitters. Some neurotransmitters, such as dopamine and the endogenous opioid peptides, act through G-protein coupled receptors mainly to adjust or modulate synaptic strength, whereas GABA and glutamate are amino acids known for their strong inhibitory or excitatory synaptic effects. Thus, nitrous oxide and nitric oxide belong to what now is becoming a sizeable group of...
