ISBN: 9780521632386 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 186 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780262511247 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 362 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This collection explores how technologies become forms of power, how people embed their authority in technological systems, and how the machines and the knowledge that make up technical systems strengthen or reshape social, political, and cultural power. The authors suggest ways in which a more nuanced investigation of technology's complex history can enrich our understanding of the changing meanings of modernity. They consider the relationship among the state, expertise, and authority; the construction of national identity; changes in the structure and distribution of labor; political...

ISBN: 9780226555539 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this classic work of sociology, Doug McAdam presents a political-process model that explains the rise and decline of the black protest movement in the United States. Moving from theoretical concerns to empirical analysis, he focuses on the crucial role of three institutions that foster protest: black churches, black colleges, and Southern chapters of the NAACP. He concludes that political opportunities, a heightened sense of political efficacy, and the development of these three institutions played a central role in shaping the civil rights movement. In his new introduction, McAdam...

Taxation, Wage Bargaining, and Unemployment
ISBN: 9780521674119 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 290 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Why were European economies able to pursue the simultaneous commitment to full employment and welfare state expansion during the first decades of the postwar period? This book highlights the critical importance of a political exchange between unions and governments, premised on wage moderation in exchange for the expansion of social services and transfers. The strategies pursued by these actors in these political exchanges are influenced by existing wage bargaining institutions, the character of monetary policy and by the level and composition of social policy transfers.

Complexity and the Function of Mind in Nature
ISBN: 9780521451666 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book is a further contribution to the series Cambridge Studies in Philosophy and Biology. It is an ambitious attempt to explain the relationship between intelligence and environmental complexity, and in so doing to link philosophy of mind to more general issues about the relations between organisms and environments, and to the general pattern of "externalist" explanations. This is a highly original philosophical project that will appeal to a broad swath of philosophers, especially those working in the philosophy of biology, philosophy of mind, and epistemology.

This volume guides beginning students of rabbinic literature to the range of historical-interpretive and culture-critical issues that contemporary scholars use when studying the rabbinic texts of late antiquity.

An Introduction to the Bootstrap
ISBN: 9780412042317 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Statistics is a subject of many uses and surprisingly few effective practitioners. The traditional road to statistical knowledge is blocked, for most, by a formidable wall of mathematics. The approach in An Introduction to the Bootstrap avoids that wall. It arms scientists and engineers, as well as statisticians, with the computational techniques they need to analyze and understand complicated data sets.

The Concept of Probability in Statistical Physics
ISBN: 9780521621281 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Foundational issues in statistical mechanics and the more general question of how probability is to be understood in the context of physical theories are both areas that have been neglected by philosophers of physics. This book fills an important gap in the literature by providing the most systematic study to date of how to interpret probabilistic assertions in the context of statistical mechanics. The book will be of particular interest to philosophers of science, physicists and mathematicians interested in foundational issues, and also to historians of science.

Exchange Rate Parity for Trade and Development: Theory, Tests, and Case Studies
ISBN: 9780521482165 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This study extends recent theories of incomplete markets to investigate empirically the appropriate balance between the market and the state in the trade relations between developed and developing countries. The conclusion is that in an ideal world government intervention in foreign exchange and trade is necessary in developing countries in the early stages, and inevitably decreases as development occurs. Rationing of foreign exchange prevents a soft currency distortion that commonly afflicts developing countries and can turn comparative advantage trade into competitive devaluation trade,...
