ISBN: 9780631188919 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. 'This is an excellent book. It addresses what, in both conceptual and political terms, is arguably the most important source of tension and confusion in current arguments about the environment, namely the concept of nature; and it does so in a way that is both sensitive to, and critical of, the two antithetical ways of understanding this that dominate existing discussions.'

This book sets out to explain the most foundational aspect of international law in international relations terms.

Economic Politics: The Costs of Democracy
ISBN: 9780521462068 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. An accessible synthesis of a large body of material, Economic Politics raises and addresses questions about the consequences of democratic institutions for economic performance. Drawing on concrete and observable experience in the United States, with occasional reference to other countries, William Keech suggests that there are modest and bearable costs of democratic procedures, comparable to the agency costs incurred whenever a principal delegates authority to an agent. Democracy, according to Keech, does not systematically cause inferior macroeconomic policy detrimental to a population's...

Institutions, Institutional Change and Economic Performance
ISBN: 9780521394161 / Angielski / Twarda / 1990 / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Continuing his groundbreaking analysis of economic structures, Douglass North develops an analytical framework for explaining the ways in which institutions and institutional change affect the performance of economies, both at a given time and over time. Institutions exist, he argues, due to the uncertainties involved in human interaction; they are the constraints devised to structure that interaction. Yet, institutions vary widely in their consequences for economic performance; some economies develop institutions that produce growth and development, while others develop institutions that...

Australia's Mammal Extinctions: A 50,000-Year History
ISBN: 9780521849180 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 316 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Of the forty mammal species known to have vanished in the world in the last 200 years, almost half have been Australian. Our continent has the worst record of mammal extinctions, with over 65 mammal species having vanished in the last 50 000 years. It began with the great wave of megafauna extinctions in the last ice-age, and continues today, with many mammal species vulnerable to extinction. The question of why mammals became extinct, and why so many became extinct in Australia has been debated by experts for over a century and a half and we are no closer to agreement on the causes. This...

Theory and Measurement: Causality Issues in Milton Friedman's Monetary Economics
ISBN: 9780521552059 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Focusing on the period of Milton Friedman's collaboration with Anna J. Schwartz, from 1948 to 1991, this work examines the history of debates between Friedman and his critics over money's causal role in business cycles. Professor Hammond shows that critics' reactions were grounded in two distinctive features of Friedman and Schwartz's way of doing economic analysis--their National Bureau business cycle methods and Friedman's Marshallian methodology. Drawing extensively on unpublished materials, Professor Hammond's treatment offers new insights on Milton Friedman's attempts to settle debates...

The Fictions of James Joyce and Wyndham Lewis: Monsters of Nature and Design
ISBN: 9780521434522 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The literary relationship of James Joyce and Wyndham Lewis has previously been described in merely biographical terms. In The fictions of James Joyce and Wyndham Lewis Scott W. Klein takes Wyndham Lewis's criticism of Ulysses in Times and Western Man, and Joyce's implicit response to Lewis in Finnegan's Wake as an emblematic opposition signalling significant textual relations within and between the fictions of the two authors. The seeing eye and the world, the creating mind and fiction, language and its aesthetic and political object, and the processes of history: all appear in the work of...

Substance among Other Categories
ISBN: 9780521461016 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book revives a neglected but important topic in philosophy: the nature of substance. The belief that there are individual substances (for example, material objects and persons) is at the core of our common-sense view of the world, yet many metaphysicians deny the very coherence of the concept of substance. The authors develop a novel account of what an individual substance is in terms of independence from other beings.

Challenging the State: Crisis and Innovation in Latin America and Africa
ISBN: 9780521551069 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The 1980s and 1990s posed great challenges to governments in Latin America and Africa deeply affected by economic and political crises that weakened their ability to encourage economic development and provide for effective governance. Using case studies of Mexico and Kenya this book shows how a decade of deep and sustained crisis also became a decade of innovations in ideas, policy directions, political coalitions, and government institutions. Merilee Grindle argues that political leadership and structures of political power, while frequently part of the problem of underdevelopment, are also...
