ISBN: 9780415546447 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The degree to which Japan is willing to confront its past is not just about history, but also about how Japan defines itself at present, and going forward.

And we like to believe that in our modern, technological world, information is more freely available and flows faster than ever before. But according to Nobel Laureate Robert Laughlin, acquiring information is becoming a danger or even a crime. Increasingly, the really valuable information is private property or a state secret, with the result that it is now easy for a flash of insight, entirely innocently, to infringe a patent or threaten national security. The public pays little attention because this vital information is...
