Latin Fascist Elites: The Mussolini, Franco, and Salazar Regimes
ISBN: 9780275978808 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Many dictatorships are short-lived, but a few manage to stay in power for decades. Lewis takes three Latin fascist tyrants--Mussolini, Franco, and Salazar--and shows how they perpetuated their rule through the careful recruitment and circulation of top-echelon subordinates to carry out their orders. Long-established dictatorships have to respond to political and social pressures surrounding them, just as democracies do, but it is harder to study them because they are closed systems. One possible way of viewing their internal processes is by observing who they recruit into top leadership... Many dictatorships are short-lived, but a few manage to stay in power for decades.

Political Authority and Party Secretaries in Poland, 1975-1986
ISBN: 9780521122863 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Paying particularly close attention to the provisional party organization and to the party secretaries who direct its activities, this book examines the changing position and role of the Polish United Workers' Party and its apparatus between 1975 and 1986. The role of the party secretaries and the way they perform is seen as a major determinant of the nature of party leadership and of the strength of political authority in communist states. The author argues that the protracted crisis of the Polish system reflects less the weakness of communist party power than critical problems encountered...

Custodians of Place: Governing the Growth and Development of Cities
ISBN: 9781589012561 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Custodians of Place provides a new theoretical framework that accounts for how different types of cities arrive at decisions about residential growth and economic development. Lewis and Neiman surveyed officials in hundreds of California cities of all sizes and socioeconomic characteristics to account for differences in local development policies. This book shows city governments at the center of the action in shaping their destinies, frequently acting as far-sighted trustees of their communities. They explain how city governments often can insulate themselves for the better...

Shaping Suburbia: How Political Institutions Organize Urban Development
ISBN: 9780822955955 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The American metropolis has been transformed over the past quarter century. Cities have turned inside out, with rapidly growing suburbs evolving into edge cities and technoburbs. But not all suburbs are alike. In "Shaping Suburbia," Paul Lewis argues that a fundamental political logic underlies the patterns of suburban growth and states that the key to understanding suburbia is to understand the local governments that control it - their number, functions, and power. Using innovative models and data analyses, Lewis shows that the relative political fragmentation of a metropolitan area plays a...

Guerrillas and Generals: The Dirty War in Argentina
ISBN: 9780275973599 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this comprehensive, balanced examination of Argentina's Dirty War, Lewis analyzes the causes, describes the ideologies that motivated both sides, and explores the consequences of all-or-nothing politics. The military and guerrillas may seem marginal today, but Lewis questions whether the Dirty War is really over. Lewis traces the Dirty War's origins back to military interventions in the 1930s and 1940s, and the rise of General Juan Peron's populist regime, which resulted in the polarization of Argentine society. Peron's overthrow by the military in 1955 only heightened social...

Crisis of Argentine Capitalism
ISBN: 9780807843567 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 594 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. At the end of World War II, Argentina was the most industrialized nation in Latin America, with a highly urbanized, literate, and pluralistic society. But over the past four decades, the country has suffered political and economic crises of increasing intensity that have stalled industrial growth, sharpened class conflict, and led to long periods of military rule. In this book, Paul Lewis attempts to explain how that happened.
Lewis begins by describing the early development of Argentine industry, from just before the turn of the century to the eve of Juan Peron's rise to power after...

Political Parties and Generations in Paraguay's Liberal Era, 1869-1940
ISBN: 9780807857083 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. From a North American perspective, the turbulence that dominated Paraguayan politics during the Liberal Era appears so pervasive as to approach anarchy. But in this seemingly haphazard succession of administrations, political machines, and governmental systems, Paul Lewis sees a pattern of evolution. His astute examination of political institutionalization employs the concept of political generations to explain Paraguayan conflict and change while analyzing a significant but understudied period of Paraguayan history. Lewis chronicles the growth of the two major Paraguayan parties, the...

Superconductivity Research at the Leading Edge
ISBN: 9781590338612 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Superconductivity is the ability of certain materials to conduct electrical current with no resistance and extremely low losses. High temperature superconductors, such as La2-xSrxCuOx (Tc=40K) and YBa2Cu3O7-x (Tc=90K), were discovered in 1987 and have been actively studied since. In spite of an intense, world-wide, research effort during this time, a complete understanding of the copper oxide (cuprate) materials is still lacking. Many fundamental questions are unanswered, particularly the mechanism by which high-Tc superconductivity occurs. More broadly, the cuprates are in a class of solids...
