The Monkey in the Mirror : Essays on the Science of What Makes us Human
ISBN: 9780198515692 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 203 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Some of the most controversial questions in evolutionary history are taken up in this collection of essays. Ian Tattersall stresses that living creatures, including humans, are not finely engineered organisms with every component perfectly adapted to their function. We are - on the contrary - jury-rigged, improvised beings, owing as much to chance as to adaptation. And this is true of all living creatures.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Fifty thousand years ago--merely a blip in evolutionary time--our Homo sapiens ancestors were competing for existence with several other human species, just as their precursors had done for millions of years. Yet something about our species distinguished it from the pack, and ultimately led to its survival while the rest became extinct. Just what was it that allowed Homo sapiens to become masters of the planet? Ian Tattersall, curator emeritus at the American Museum of Natural History, takes us deep into the fossil record to uncover what made humans so special. Surveying a vast...

Workability and Quality Control of Concrete
ISBN: 9780419148609 / Angielski / Twarda / 1990 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This text is a successor to the author's Workability of Concrete published in 1976 and, again, is written specifically for practising engineers and concrete technologists. It incorporates the results of a further 15 years research and develops the treatment of workability as a property to be measured in terms of two constants, which was introduced in the earlier book. The scientific basis is simply explained and used for the description of practical methods and apparatus. This leads to elucidation of problems surrounding the topic of workability and to an account of the potential for quality...

Lemur Biology
ISBN: 9781468421231 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 366 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The volume of studies on prosimian primates has, until recently, tended to lag well behind that of studies on the higher primates. This is so despite the fact that the considerable intrinsic interest of the living prosimians and the signifi cance of their stuQ, y for our understanding of the earlier stages of primate evolution have long been acknowledged by zoologists, paleontologists, and anthropologists alike. Among the prosimians, the Malagasy lemurs are of profound interest not only because they include the only extant diurnal forms, but also because it is only on Madagascar that the...

Power in Coalition: Strategies for Strong Unions and Social Change
ISBN: 9780801448997 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The labor movement sees coalitions as a key tool for union revitalization and social change, but there is little analysis of what makes them successful or the factors that make them fail. Amanda Tattersall an organizer and labor scholar addresses this gap in the first internationally comparative study of coalitions between unions and community organizations. She argues that coalition success must be measured by two criteria: whether campaigns produce social change and whether they sustain organizational strength over time. The book contributes new, practical frameworks and insights that...
