Designing Fictions: Literature Confronts Advertising
ISBN: 9780773545366 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Advertising, long a controlling force in industrial society, has provoked an important body of imaginative work by English language writers. Michael Ross's Designing Fictions is the first study to investigate this symbiotic relationship on a broad scale. In view of the appreciable overlap between literary and promotional writing, Ross asks whether imaginative fiction has the latitude to critique advertising as an industry and as a literary form, and finds that intended critiques, time and again, turn out to be shot through with ambivalence. The texts considered include a wide range of books...

A Primer on Pontryagin's Principle in Optimal Control: Second Edition
ISBN: 9780984357116 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. EDITORIAL REVIEW:
This book provides a guided tour in introducing optimal control theory from a practitioner's point of view. As in the first edition, Ross takes the contrarian view that it is not necessary to prove Pontryagin's Principle before using it. Using the same philosophy, the second edition expands the ideas over four chapters: In Chapter 1, basic principles related to problem formulation via a structured approach are introduced: What is a state variable? What is a control variable? What is state space? And so on. In Chapter 2, Pontryagin's Principle is introduced using... EDITORIAL REVIEW:

The Oil Curse: How Petroleum Wealth Shapes the Development of Nations
ISBN: 9780691159638 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Countries that are rich in petroleum have less democracy, less economic stability, and more frequent civil wars than countries without oil. What explains this oil curse? And can it be fixed? In this groundbreaking analysis, Michael L. Ross looks at how developing nations are shaped by their mineral wealth--and how they can turn oil from a curse into a blessing. Ross traces the oil curse to the upheaval of the 1970s, when oil prices soared and governments across the developing world seized control of their countries' oil industries. Before nationalization, the oil-rich countries... Countries that are rich in petroleum have less democracy, less economic stability, and more frequent civil wars than countries without oil.

Timber Booms and Institutional Breakdown in Southeast Asia
ISBN: 9781107404816 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this book, Michael L. Ross explores the breakdown of the institutions that govern natural resource exports in developing states. Using case studies of timber booms in Indonesia, Malaysia, and the Philippines, he shows that these institutions often break down when states receive positive trade shocks--unanticipated windfalls. Drawing on the theory of rent-seeking, he suggests that these institutions succumb to a problem he calls "rent-seizing"--the predatory behavior of politicians who seek to supply rent to others, and who purposefully dismantle institutions that restrain them.

First Nations Sacred Sites in Canada's Courts
ISBN: 9780774811309 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The sacred sites of indigenous peoples are under increasing threat worldwide. The threat's origin is traceable to state appropriation of control over their ancestral territories; its increase is fueled by insatiable demands on lands, waters, and natural resources. Because their sacred sites spiritually anchor their relationship with their lands, and because their relationship with their lands is at the core of their identities, threats to their sacred sites are effectively threats to indigenous peoples themselves. In recent decades, First Nations peoples of Canada, like other... The sacred sites of indigenous peoples are under increasing threat worldwide.

Great New Orleans Kidnapping Case: Race, Law, and Justice in the Reconstruction Era
ISBN: 9780199778805 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In June 1870, the residents of the city of New Orleans were already on edge when two African American women kidnapped seventeen-month- old Mollie Digby from in front of her New Orleans home. It was the height of Radical Reconstruction, and the old racial order had been turned upside down: black men now voted, held office, sat on juries, and served as policemen. Nervous white residents, certain that the end of slavery and resulting "Africanization" of the city would bring chaos, pointed to the Digby abduction as proof that no white child was safe. Louisiana's twenty-eight-year old...

Law, Power, and the Sovereign State: The Evolution and Application of the Concept of Sovereignty
ISBN: 9780271014715 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the wake of the collapse of the Soviet bloc, it is timely to ask what continuing role, if any, the concept of sovereignty can and should play in the emerging "new world order." The aim of Law, Power, and the Sovereign State is both to counter the argument that the end of the sovereign state is close at hand and to bring scholarship on sovereignty into the post-Cold War era. The study assesses sovereignty as status and as power and examines the issue of what precisely constitutes a sovereign state. In determining how a political entity gains sovereignty, the authors...
