Galileo's Logical Treatises: A Translation, with Notes and Commentary, of His Appropriated Latin Questions on Aristotle's Posterior Analytics Book
ISBN: 9780792315780 / Angielski / Twarda / 1992 / 249 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Hard as it is to believe, what is possibly Galileo's most important Latin manuscript was not transcribed for the National Edition of his works and so has remained hidden from scholars for centuries. In this volume William A. Wallace translates the logical treatises contained in that manuscript and makes them intelligible to the modern reader. He prefaces his translation with a lengthy introduction describing the contents of the manuscript, the sources from which it derives, its dating, and how it relates to Galileo's other Pisan writings. The translation is accompanied by extensive notes and...

Prelude to Galileo: Essays on Medieval and Sixteenth-Century Sources of Galileo's Thought
ISBN: 9789400984066 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 372 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Can it be true that Galilean studies will be without end, without conclusion, that each interpreter will find his own Galileo? William A. Wallace seems to have a historical grasp which will have to be matched by any further workers: he sees directly into Galileo's primary epoch of intellectual formation, the sixteenth century. In this volume, Wallace provides the companion to his splendid annotated translation of Galileo 's Early Notebooks: The Physical Questions (University of Notre Dame Press, 1977), pointing to the 'realist' sources, mainly unearthed by the author himself during the past...

The Decline and Fall of the U.S. Economy: How Liberals and Conservatives Both Got it Wrong
ISBN: 9780313383793 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Who was responsible for the 2008 crash? "The Decline and Fall of the U.S. Economy: How Liberals and Conservatives Both Got It Wrong" makes it clear that both parties were at faul--and explains how and why. This broad and far-reaching book is the first to analyze the crash from the perspective of evolution, or "punctuated equilibrium." As it explains, the punctuated boom brings on change, the bust leads back to a tightly constrained equilibrium. Both conditions pose risks and both--as William McDonald Wallace argues--can be managed to reduce the odds that economic imbalances will arise.... Who was responsible for the 2008 crash?

Galileo's Logic of Discovery and Proof: The Background, Content, and Use of His Appropriated Treatises on Aristotle's Posterior Analytics
ISBN: 9789048141159 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 333 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This volume is presented as a companion study to my translation of Galileo's MS 27, Galileo's Logical Treatises, which contains Galileo's appropriated questions on Aristotle's Posterior Analytics - a work only recently transcribed from the Latin autograph. Its purpose is to acquaint an English-reading audience with the teaching in those treatises. This is basically a sixteenth-century logic of discovery and of proof about which little is known in the present day, yet one that arguably guided the most significant research program of the seventeenth century. Despite its historical and...

Galileo, the Jesuits, and the Medieval Aristotle
ISBN: 9780860782971 / Angielski / Twarda / 1991 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The conventional opposition of scholastic Aristotelianism and humanistic science has been increasingly questioned in recent years, and in these articles William Wallace aims to demonstrate that a progressive Aristotelianism in fact provided the foundation for Galileo's scientific discoveries. The first series of articles supply much of the documentary evidence that has led the author to the sources for Galileo's early notebooks: they show how Galileo, while teaching or preparing to teach at Pisa, actualy appropriated much of his material from Jesuit lectures given at the Collegio Romano in...

Ethics in Modeling
ISBN: 9780080419305 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The use of mathematical models to support decision-making is proliferating in both the public and private sectors. Advances in computer technology and greater opportunities to learn the appropriate techniques are extending modelling capabilities to more and more people. As powerful decision aids, models can be both beneficial or harmful. At present, few safeguards exist to prevent model builders or users from deliberately, carelessly, or recklessly manipulating data to further their own ends. Perhaps more importantly, few people understand or appreciate that harm can be caused when builders...
