ISBN: 9780691637433 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 484 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Making the case that population growth does not hinder economic progress and that it eventually raises standards of living, Julian Simon became one of the most controversial figures in economics during the past decade. This book gathers a set of articles--theoretical, empirical, and policy analyses--written over the past twenty years, which examine the effects of population increase on various aspects of economic development in less-developed economies. The studies show that within a century, or even a quarter of a century, the positive benefits of additional people counterbalance the...

The Economics of Population: Key Classic Writings
ISBN: 9781138515772 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 225 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The economics of population has a long and controversial history as well as an exciting present. Vociferous popular debate, public policy, and population economics have unduly influenced one another: public debate and policy affect the erection of economists' conclusions just as the results of economists' studies influence debate and popular thought. The words and theories of John Maynard Keynes, Thomas R. Malthus, John Stuart Mill, and Friedrich Engels come to mind immediately. However, many writings on population economics had little or no influence on public thought at the time they were...

Debussy: La Mer
ISBN: 9780521446563 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. La Mer stands at the center of Debussy's achievement. Described by the composer as "a seascape without figures," it is arguably the greatest and most original French symphony. In this study, La Mer is considered in the context of Debussy's personal and musical development. Detailed discussion of performance styles draw on current recordings, and two analytical chapters trace the growth of ideas through the work. Studies of rhythm, motif and tonality show how Debussy generates "narratives" across the three movements.

The Genesis of Fluid Mechanics 1640-1780
ISBN: 9789048176328 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 518 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Fluid Mechanics, as a scientific discipline in a modern sense, was established between the last third of the 17th century and the first half of the 18th one. This book analyses its genesis, following its evolution along two basic lines of research, which have been named the "problem of resistance" and the "problem of discharge." This approach highlights the existence of a remarkable experimental aspect in the aforementioned research lines, together with their link with problems of a practical nature, such as ballistics, hydraulics, fluid-using machines or naval theory. On the other hand,... Fluid Mechanics, as a scientific discipline in a modern sense, was established between the last third of the 17th century and the first half of the... |

Sharing Power, Securing Peace?: Ethnic Inclusion and Civil War
ISBN: 9781108418140 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Does power sharing bring peace? Policymakers around the world seem to think so. Yet, while there are many successful examples of power sharing in multi-ethnic states, such as Switzerland, South Africa and Indonesia, other instances show that such arrangements offer no guarantee against violent conflict, including Rwanda, Yugoslavia, Zimbabwe and South Sudan. Given this mixed record, it is not surprising that scholars disagree as to whether power sharing actually reduces conflict. Based on systematic data and innovative methods, this book comes to a mostly positive conclusion by focusing on...

Revelations of Divine Love
ISBN: 9781907661884 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. 'Revelations of Divine Love' by Julian of Norwich is the first book written in English by a woman. But the work is read now not for historical interest but for the God she describes and the optimism she exudes; an optimism all the more remarkable for the setting in which she wrote. Julian lived in Norwich from 1342 - 1416; but 14th century England was far from the Merry Old England of legend. It was the time of the Black Death which struck Norwich at least three times during her life. It was also a period of social unrest brought on by the shortage of labour, high taxes and bad harvests which...
