Architects of Political Change: Constitutional Quandaries and Social Choice Theory
ISBN: 9780521832021 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This work offers a set of extended interpretations of Madison's argument in Federalist X of 1787, using ideas from social choice theory and from the work of Douglass North, Mancur Olson, and William Riker. Its focus is not on rational choice theory itself, but on the use of this theory as a heuristic device to better understand democratic institutions. The treatment adapts a formal model of elections to consider rapid constitutional change at periods when societies face quandaries. The topics explored in the book include Britain's reorganization of its fiscal system in the eighteenth century...

"Rescued: Yielding to Desire" takes the reader into a war torn territory where soldiers that are on routine patrol rescue a woman that has been held captive for months as a sex slave.

The author also shows how one woman can enable another to break free of her own inhibitions and become the woman that she was meant to be. It is amazing how what we think can inhibit how we act and how we think of...

Medieval Towns: The Archaeology of British Towns in their European Setting
ISBN: 9781845530389 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Archaeologists have shown that towns can claim to be more representative of the nature of society of which they formed part than any other type of site. In towns we are most likely to find archaeological evidence of both long-distance and local trade, of exploitation of natural resources, of specialization and of technological evidence in manufacturing, of social differentiation, of the means of political control, and of the religious aspirations of the population. Medieval Towns is the second and enlarged edition of the book Medieval Towns that was published in 1994 by Continuum. It surveys...

Combat Archaeology: Material Culture and Modern Conflict
ISBN: 9780715634035 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This series of short volumes, each devoted to a theme which is the subject of contemporary debate in archaeology, ranges from issues in theory and method to aspects of world archaeology. The archaeology of recent conflict is a fast-moving field of research. It is challenging and provocative. It deals with established historical events for which the material remains are unquestionably 'heritage', but also the more recent, tragic and heavily politicised events, actions and places whose meaning and significance is more ambiguous. But although recent and familiar, it is also a subject that...

ISBN: 9781407305813 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

Mathematical Methods in Economics and Social Choice
ISBN: 9783642398179 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In recent years, the usual optimization techniques, which have proved so useful in microeconomic theory, have been extended to incorporate more powerful topological and differential methods, and these methods have led to new results on the qualitative behavior of general economic and political systems. These developments have necessarily resulted in an increase in the degree of formalism in the publications in the academic journals. This formalism can often deter graduate students. The progression of ideas presented in this book will familiarize the student with the geometric concepts...
