The Einstein Syndrome: Bright Children Who Talk Late
ISBN: 9780465081417 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Einstein Syndrome is a follow-up to Late-Talking Children, which established Thomas Sowell as a leading spokesman on the subject. While many children who talk late suffer from developmental disorders or autism, there is a certain well-defined group who are developmentally normal or even quite bright, yet who may go past their fourth birthday before beginning to talk. These children are often misdiagnosed as autistic or retarded, a mistake that is doubly hard on parents who must first worry about their apparently handicapped children and then must see them lumped into special classes and...

It combines readability with intellectual rigour and distils more than a quarter of a century of Thomas Sowell's research and thought on the philosophical and economic doctrines of Karl Marx.

Dyskryminacja i Nierówności
ISBN: 9788367272056 / Polski / miękka / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. Dyskryminacja i Nierówności rzuca wyzwanie osobom wierzącym w to, że da się wyjaśnić różnice w zakresie rezultatów ekonomicznych za pomocą wyłącznie jednego czynnika, jak dyskryminacja, wyzysk czy genetyka. Przedstawia własną, nowatorską analizę, opartą na zupełnie innym podejściu – popartą empirycznymi dowodami na podstawie danych z całego świata.
Nie chodzi o to, by proponować jakąś konkretną poprawkę polityczną, ale by wyjaśnić, dlaczego tak wiele poprawek okazało się kontrproduktywnych, a także, by zdemaskować pewne pozornie niemożliwe do...

Migrations and Cultures: A World View
ISBN: 9780465045891 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Most commentators look at the issue of immigration from the viewpoint of immediate politics. In doing so, they focus on only a piece of the issue and lose touch with the larger picture. Now Thomas Sowell offers a sweeping historical and global look at a large number of migrations over a long period of time.Migrations and Cultures: shows the persistence of cultural traits, in particular racial and ethnic groups, and the role these groups' relocations play in redistributing skills, knowledge, and other forms of "human capital." answers the question: What are the effects of disseminating...

Intellectuals and Race
ISBN: 9780465058723 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Intellectuals and Race is a radical book in the original sense of one that goes to the root of the problem. The role of intellectuals in racial strife is explored in an international context that puts the American experience in a wholly new light. The views of individual intellectuals have spanned the spectrum, but the views of intellectuals as a whole have tended to cluster. Indeed, these views have clustered at one end of the spectrum in the early twentieth century and then clustered at the opposite end of the spectrum in the late twentieth century. Moreover, these radically...

The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy
ISBN: 9780465089956 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Sowell presents a devastating critique of the mind-set behind the failed social policies of the past thirty years. Sowell sees what has happened during that time not as a series of isolated mistakes but as a logical consequence of a tainted vision whose defects have led to crises in education, crime, and family dynamics, and to other social pathologies. In this book, he describes how elites--the anointed--have replaced facts and rational thinking with rhetorical assertions, thereby altering the course of our social policy.

In Wealth, Poverty, and Politics, Dr. Thomas Sowell of the Hoover Institution, Stanford University, examines the reasons for large differences in income and wealth between nations and among groups within nations.

Dr. Sowell also examines some...

In Economic Facts and Fallacies, Thomas Sowell exposes some of the most popular fallacies about economic issues in a lively manner that does not require any prior knowledge of economics.

ISBN: 9780465038350 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The painful and baffling mystery as to why some obviously bright children do not begin talking until long after the "normal" time is explored in this book through personal experiences and the findings of scientific research. The author's own experiences as the father of such a child led to the formation of a goup of more than fifty sets of parents of similar children.

Fortunately, some of these children turn out to...

It is now more than three decades since the historic Supreme Court decision on desegregation, Brown v. Board of Education. Thomas Sowell takes a tough, factual look at what has actually happened over these decades -- as distinguished from the hopes with which they began or the rhetoric with which they continue, Who has gained and who has lost? Which of the assumptions behind the civil rights revolution have stood the test of time and which have proven to be mistaken or even catastrophic to those who were supposed to be helped? It is now more than three decades since the historic Supreme Court decision on desegregation, Brown v. Board of Education. Thomas Sowell t... |
