These factors establish the optimal structure of a society by determining whether decision-making is...

ISBN: 9780804736459 / Angielski / Twarda / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Behind the headlines of our time stands an unobtrusive army of science advisors. Panels of scientific, medical, and engineering experts evaluate the safety of the food we eat, the drugs we take, and the cars we drive. But despite the enormous influence of science advice, its authority is often problematic, and struggles over expert advice are thus a crucial aspect of contemporary politics. Science on Stage is a theoretically informed and empirically grounded study of the social process through which the credibility of expert advice is produced, challenged, and sustained. Building on...

This important book addresses the organizational and economic implications of the new technologies of information and communication.

Astronomical Energy Resources, Value, and Lifestyles
ISBN: 9781467902908 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The author points out that, because we live in a solar system, there are virtually unlimited astronomical sources of power available to us. He predicts that we will eventually have to build enormous mechanisms to gather, store, transform, use, buy, sell, revitalize, and save these cosmological energies. He insists that we will be able to make much more valuable uses of the energies like the heat of our Sun, the tidal forces our Moon produces, and the energies of motion that come from the spinning around of our Earth at 1,000 mph at the Torrid Zone, as examples, when we use these massive...

Evaluating Philosophies
ISBN: 9789400744073 / Angielski / Twarda / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The second part discusses a few practical problems that are being actively discussed in the literature, from climatology and information science to economics and legal philosophy. This...
