Secure Communications and Asymmetric Cryptosystems
ISBN: 9780367286880 / Angielski / Twarda / 338 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

One Hundred Centuries of Solitude: Redirecting America's High-Level Nuclear Waste Policy
ISBN: 9780367281908 / Angielski / Twarda / 129 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Time is both the ally of high-level nuclear waste (HLNW) managers and the enemy. It is the ally because the radioactivity in elements and isotopes decreases with age, making the waste progressively less dangerous to human health and safety and the environment. This rate of radioactive decline varies, in some cases diminishing by half (the half life) in seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, or years. In other cases the decay process takes centuries or hundreds of thousands of years before the wastes are safe for human contact. The problem as now conceptualized for HLNW managers is...

The Theming of America: Dreams, Visions, and Commercial Spaces
ISBN: 9780367296513 / Angielski / Twarda / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Mark Gottdiener explores the nature of social change as it has developed since the 1960s as reflected in the "theming" of America, from Graceland to Dollywood, from Las Vegas to Disney World, from the Mall of America to your local mall. Nowhere can modern Americans escape the profusion of recognizable symbols and signs attached to virtually every aspect of their culture constantly reminding them that they are on familiar and comforting grounds. "Just come in, friend, and buy; make yourself at home," these symbols seem to say, thus tying media culture and the seduction of consumerism to the...

ISBN: 9780367282233 / Angielski / Twarda / 327 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Proposed energy resource development in the arid western United States raises a number of potential problems for an environment that does not have a great deal of resiliency. Projected population increases associated with large-scale development activities may go beyond the capacity of small, isolated rural communities to absorb them; and constraints on western agricultural and industrial development—for example, demands for water already exceeding the supply available—also limit energy development. The authors of this wide-ranging book first evaluate western energy resources, then...
