Paleoclimates: Understanding Climate Change Past and Present
ISBN: 9780231144940 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. The field of paleoclimatology relies on physical, chemical, and biological proxies of past climate changes that have been preserved in natural archives such as glacial ice, tree rings, sediments, corals, and speleothems. Paleoclimate archives obtained through field investigations, ocean sediment coring expeditions, ice sheet coring programs, and other projects allow scientists to reconstruct climate change over much of earth's history. When combined with computer model simulations, paleoclimatic reconstructions are used to test hypotheses about the causes of climatic change, such as...

Leadership Matters: Unleashing the Power of Paradox
ISBN: 9781612051437 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 382 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Exceptional leaders can guide us through bursts of energy and activity that fundamentally alter the status quo. But other leaders guide us quietly, and still others lead as followers-or as students, citizens, and foot soldiers from every walk of life. Most leadership books emphasize specific rules of the road or characteristics and signposts. Tom Cronin and Michael Genovese see leadership as more nuanced and filled with paradox--a realm in which rules only occasionally apply and "how to do it" prescriptions obscure more than they enlighten. Leadership Matters offers a different view of...

On the Presidency: Teacher, Soldier, Shaman, Pol
ISBN: 9781594514906 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In an election year in which everyone seems to be looking for change, Tom Cronin reminds us that it is important to look back at presidential precedents and pitfalls, carrying forward these lessons as we look ahead in the "search for the perfect president." America has never had a perfect president, nor are we likely to. We yearn for qualities of mind, character, and experience that are rarely found in one person. Candidates always have the flaws associated with being human. Noted presidential scholar Thomas E. Cronin helps us consider these realities with clarity and empathy, as one who has...

Colorado Politics and Policy: Governing a Purple State
ISBN: 9780803240742 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Survey after survey reveals that many Coloradans believe that the U.S. government is too big, too wasteful, and too intrusive. Yet Colorado is arguably one of the most federally subsidized states in the union, with forests, national parks, military bases, and research laboratories benefiting from the federal government s largesse.
A concise history of Colorado s constitution and central political institutions, Colorado Politics and Policy offers a probing analysis of the state s political cultures. It shows how the state, in many ways a template of the deeply contrary politics of...

Now widely regarded as the best available guide to the study of the Founding, the first edition of Interpreting the Founding provided summaries and analyses of the leading interpretive frameworks that have guided the study of the Founding since the publication of Charles Beard's An Economic Interpretation of the Constitution in 1913.

Greenhouse gases, global warming, thinning ozone layers--understanding the Earth's climatic changes is one of today's most pressing international concerns. How fast has the climate changed?
