Powering the Future: How We Will (Eventually) Solve the Energy Crisis and Fuel the Civilization of Tomorrow
ISBN: 9780465022205 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In Powering the Future, Nobel laureate Robert B. Laughlin transports us two centuries into the future, when we've ceased to use carbon from the ground--either because humans have banned carbon burning or because fuel has simply run out. Boldly, Laughlin predicts no earth-shattering transformations will have taken place. Six generations from now, there will still be soccer moms, shopping malls, and business trips. Firesides will still be snug and warm.
How will we do it? Not by discovering a magic bullet to slay our energy problems, but through a slew of fascinating technologies,... In Powering the Future, Nobel laureate Robert B. Laughlin transports us two centuries into the future, when we've ceased to use carbon from the...

The Literature of Leisure and Chinese Modernity
ISBN: 9780824831257 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Chinese essay is arguably China's most distinctive contribution to modern world literature, and the period of its greatest influence and popularity--the mid-1930s--is the central concern of this book. What Charles Laughlin terms the literature of leisure is a modern literary response to the cultural past that manifests itself most conspicuously in the form of short, informal essay writing (xiaopin wen). Laughlin examines the essay both as a widely practiced and influential genre of literary expression and as an important counter-discourse to the revolutionary tradition of New...

Chinese Reportage: The Aesthetics of Historical Experience
ISBN: 9780822329596 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Chinese Reportage details for the first time in English the creation and evolution of a distinctive literary genre in twentieth-century China. Reportage literature, while sharing traditional journalism s commitment to the accurate, nonfictional portrayal of experience, was largely produced by authors outside the official news media. In identifying the literary merit of this genre and establishing its significance in China s leftist cultural legacy, Charles A. Laughlin reveals important biases that impede Western understanding of China and, at the same time, supplies an essential...

Verbrechen der Vernunft : Betrug an der Wissensgesellschaft
ISBN: 9783518260029 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 2008 / 159 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Wir leben in einer Wissensgesellschaft, die freien Zugang zu Informationen ermöglicht. Doch ist längst eine paradoxe Situation entstanden: Wissen ist gefährlich. Die Möglichkeiten, Wissen zu erwerben, können zu erheblichen Konflikten führen. "Was darf ich wissen?" Diese Frage könnte in unserem Informationszeitalter zu einer Schlüsselfrage werden. Wer Wissen erwirbt, noch dazu technisches Wissen, kann schnell an den Rand der Legalität geraten. Je mehr Technologien vermögen, desto weniger wird das Wissen über diese Technologien frei verfügbar. Wir müssen uns daher mehr und mehr mit...

A Different Universe: Reinventing Physics from the Bottom Down
ISBN: 9780465038299 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this age of superstring theories and Big Bang cosmology, we're used to thinking of the unknown as impossibly distant from our everyday lives. But in A Different Universe, Nobel Laureate Robert Laughlin argues that the scientific frontier is right under our fingers. Instead of looking for ultimate theories, Laughlin considers the world of emergent properties-meaning the properties, such as the hardness and shape of a crystal, that result from the organization of large numbers of atoms. Laughlin shows us how the most fundamental laws of physics are in fact emergent. A Different...
