The bounty and beauty of the American West has stirred the hopes and dreams of generations of Americans. The vast economic potential of the West was only a dream in 1804 when President Thomas Jefferson sent Lewis and Clark on their now famous and well documented journey. A little over 30 years later in 1837, Washington Irving published the epic following the adventures of the famous explorer, Captain Bonneville, in what would later become known as the Wyoming Territory.

ISBN: 9781507801901 / Angielski / Miękka / 54 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The world community has known of the Ebola virus disease, more commonly called just Ebola, since it first appeared in a remote region near the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1976. In previous outbreaks, Ebola has been confined to remote areas in which there was little contact outside the villages at which it appeared. Unfortunately, this outbreak, now an epidemic, spread from village to an international center for regional trade and spread into urban areas in Guinea, Sierra Leone, and Liberia that are crowded, with limited medical services and limited resident trust of government. The...

American Contempt for Liberty
ISBN: 9780817918750 / Angielski / Miękka / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Throughout history, personal liberty, free markets, and peaceable, voluntary exchanges have been roundly denounced by tyrants and often greeted with suspicion by the general public.

In this latest collection of essays selected from his syndicated newspaper columns, Walter E. Williams takes on a range of controversial issues surrounding race, education, the...

Zero Unemployment in Kenya: The Utility of Tajiriba Spaces
ISBN: 9781508684640 / Angielski / Miękka / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Practically half of Kenyans, about 21.5 million people, are poor. Ensuring citizens have an income is the single most effective means of transforming lives and reducing deep-rooted poverty and inequality. Regrettably, lack of income opportunities has become such a huge challenge in Kenya. Many Kenyans leave school hoping to find work or start a viable business to participate in economic building, but for the last three decades income opportunities have not been forthcoming. Statistics on joblessness and inactivity indicate that over 40 per cent Kenyans are without stable incomes. The...

ISBN: 9781508696780 / Angielski / Miękka / 92 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This report examines the integration of North America's agricultural and food markets as a result of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), implemented in 1994. NAFTA has had a profound effect on many aspects of North American agriculture over the past two decades. With a few exceptions, intraregional agricultural trade is now completely free of tariff and quota restrictions, and the agricultural sectors of the member countries-Canada, Mexico, and the United States-have become far more integrated, as is evidenced by rising trade in a wider range of agricultural products, substantial...

Tracing the Political: Depoliticisation, Governance and the State
ISBN: 9781447326601 / Angielski / Twarda / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Over the past few decades, governments in many nations have increasingly delegated political decisions to expert agencies, portraying the issues they deal with--such as drug policy or monetary policy--as technocratic or managerial in nature. This has had the effect of essentially removing a large number of important political decisions from public debate--a situation that has led many commentators to worry about a -crisis of democracy, - or, even worse, the -end of politics.- This book offers a nuanced perspective on that situation, charting the dynamics of politicization and depoliticization...

A social robot is a robot that interacts and communicates with humans or other autonomous physical agents by following social behaviors and rules attached to its role. We seem to accept the use of robots that perform dull, dirty, and dangerous jobs. But how far do we want to go with the automation of care for children and the elderly, or the killing of terrorists? Would we be setting humanity aside if we accepted such automation?

Urban Mobilizations and New Media in Contemporary China
ISBN: 9781472430977 / Angielski / Twarda / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Popular protests are on the rise in China. However, since protesters rely on existing channels of participation and on patronage by elite backers, the state has been able to stymie attempts to generalize resistance and no large scale political movements have significantly challenged party rule. Yet the Chinese state is not monolithic. Decentralization has increased the power of local authorities, creating space for policy innovations and opening up the political opportunity structure. Popular protest in China - particularly in urban realm- not only benefits from the political fragmentation of...
