Confronting Disaster: An Existential Approach to Technoscience
ISBN: 9780739108505 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Contemporary society is rife with instability. Contemporary genetic research has raised and given life to the one-time science fiction specter: the clone. The scarcity of natural energy sources has led to greater manipulation of atomic or nuclear energy and as a result greater danger. And the promises of globalization have, in some cases, delivered their intended results, but in many other ways they have created even greater social and economic gaps. An urgent commentary in the tradition of Herbert Marcuse's One Dimensional Man or even Sigmund Freud's Civilization and Its Discontents, Raphael...

War Images: Fabricating Reality
ISBN: 9780739143117 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this book, the authors explore images of war and their effect on society.

This book suggests that consumers of war images must simultaneously pay attention to the details of any given image (and thereby uncover its...

Popper's Legacy: Rethinking Politics, Economics and Science
ISBN: 9780773531765 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 151 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Karl Popper has had an extraordinary influence on scientific and social thought.

Cultural Collisions : Postmodern Technoscience
ISBN: 9780415911108 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Combining postmodernism with technoscience, this work considers the viability of public works such as the superconducting supercollider in a postmodern age. Contending that technoscientific projects are contingent upon economic and political support, and not simply upon their scientific feasibility, Sassower illuminates the cultural context of postmodernism vis-a-vis an examination of postmodernism and the philosophy of late 20th-century technoscience. Drawing upon conflicts between Popperians, postmodernists and feminists, Sassower claims that translation between competing discourses about...

Postcapitalism: Moving Beyond Ideology in America's Economic Crises
ISBN: 9781594516726 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Debates over the role of government have intensified in the wake of America's deepest financial crisis since the Depression. This book suggests new ways of moving forward based on the policies and principles that have worked in the past. Sassower shows how American pragmatism has guided the more successful financial policies undertaken during the past century. This means that from the workplace to foreign aid, Americans benefit when they collaborate with each other rather than only pursue their self-interest in competitive ways. Drawing on thinkers from Adam Smith to Keynes to Bernanke,...
