The Einstein Syndrome: Bright Children Who Talk Late
ISBN: 9780465081417 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The Einstein Syndrome is a follow-up to Late-Talking Children, which established Thomas Sowell as a leading spokesman on the subject.

Social Justice Fallacies
ISBN: 9781541603929 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The quest for social justice is a powerful crusade of our time, with an appeal to many different people, for many different reasons. But those who use the same words do not always present the same meanings. Clarifying those meanings is the first step toward finding out what we agree on and disagree on. From there, it is largely a question of what the facts are.

However attractive the social justice vision, the...
