ISBN: 9780465046935 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Everyone concerned about the toxic effects of inequality must read this book."--Robert B. Reich
"This is one of the most thought-provoking books I have read on economic inequality in the US."--William Julius Wilson Since the Great Recession, most Americans' standard of living has stagnated or declined. Economic inequality is at historic highs. But inequality's impact differs by race; African Americans' net wealth is just a tenth that of white Americans, and over recent decades, white families have accumulated wealth at three times the rate of black families. In our... "Everyone concerned about the toxic effects of inequality must read this book."--Robert B. Reich

The Hidden Cost of Being African American: How Wealth Perpetuates Inequality
ISBN: 9780195181388 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Over the past three decades, racial prejudice in America has declined significantly and many African American families have seen a steady rise in employment and annual income. But alongside these encouraging signs, Thomas Shapiro argues in The Hidden Cost of Being African American, fundamental levels of racial inequality persist, particularly in the area of asset accumulation--inheritance, savings accounts, stocks, bonds, home equity, and other investments. Shapiro reveals how the lack of these family assets along with continuing racial discrimination in crucial areas like...

The Multiple Realization Book
ISBN: 9780198732891 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Since Hilary Putnam offered multiple realization as an empirical hypothesis in the 1960s, philosophical consensus has turned against the idea that mental processes could be identified with brain processes, and multiple realization has become the keystone of the 'antireductive consensus' across philosophy of science broadly. Thomas W. Polger and Lawrence A. Shapiro offer the first book-length investigation of multiple realization. Their analysis of multiple realization serves as a starting point to a series of philosophically sophisticated and empirically informed arguments that cast doubt on...

Numerical Relativity: Starting from Scratch
ISBN: 9781108844116 / Angielski / Twarda / 2021 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Numerical relativity has emerged as the key tool to model gravitational waves - recently detected for the first time - that are emitted when black holes or neutron stars collide. This book provides a pedagogical, accessible, and concise introduction to the subject. Relying heavily on analogies with Newtonian gravity, scalar fields and electromagnetic fields, it introduces key concepts of numerical relativity in a context familiar to readers without prior expertise in general relativity. Readers can explore these concepts by working through numerous exercises, and can see them 'in action' by...
