Worlds Apart

Worlds Apart

Carl D. Malmgren

Indiana University Press
1991
sidottu
"[Malmgren] succeeds in formulating a typology of science fiction that will become a standard reference for some years to come." —Choice " . . . the most intelligently organized and effectively argued general study of SF that I have ever read." —Rob Latham, SFRA Review " . . . required reading for its evenhanded overview of so much of the previous critical/theoretical material devoted to science fiction." —American Book Review Worlds Apart provides a comprehensive theoretical model for science fiction by examining the worlds of science fiction and the discourse which inscribes them. Malmgren identifies the basic science fiction types, including alien encounters, alternate societies and worlds, and fantasy, and examines the role of the reader in concretizing and interpreting these science fiction worlds.
Democratizing the Economics Debate

Democratizing the Economics Debate

Carlo D'Ippoliti

Routledge
2020
sidottu
More than a decade since the global financial crisis, economics does not exhibit signs of significant change. Mainstream economists act on an idealized image of science, which includes the convergence of all perspectives into a single supposed scientific truth. Democratizing the Economics Debate shows that this idealized image both provides an inadequate description of what science should be and misrepresents the recent past and current state of economics.Economics has always been characterized by a plurality of competing perspectives and research paradigms, however, there is evidence of a worrying global involution in the last 40 years. Even as the production of economics publications has exploded, the economics debate is becoming less plural and increasingly hierarchical. Among several causes, the tendency to conformism has been exacerbated in recent years with the use of formal schemes of research quality evaluation. This book documents how such schemes now cover more than half of all economists worldwide and reviews the impact of biased methods of research evaluation on the stunting of levels of pluralism in economics.The book will be of interest to anyone who worries for the state of the democratic debate. As experts who intervene in the public debate, economists must assure society that they are working in the best possible way, which includes fostering a wide and fair scientific debate. It is this test of social legitimacy that economics currently fails.

How to Sail: A Complete Handbook of the Art of Sailing for the Novice and the Old Hand
The author discusses the several types of modern sailboats suitable for various conditions and localities and establishes the basic sea language needed. Then, in clear and simple text, with plenty of diagrams and drawings, he takes the reader aboard his boat, hoists the sails, drops his mooring and conducts him through all the sailing evolutions until he has confidence in himself and may safely and joyfully join America's great fleet of sailing craft. Dangers are pointed out and instructions given on their avoidance. Included are brief data on elementary navigation, seamanship, tuning up, maintenance and the many allied arts of the owner-skipper in sufficient scope for him to care for a protect his craft. The old hand, too, will find here a refresher with which to perfect his own sailing habits and techniques.The author, Carl D. Lane, has many years of sailing experience to draw upon and has written two other standard books in the field, The Boatman's Manual and Boatowner's Sheet Anchor.
Economics and Diversity

Economics and Diversity

Carlo D'Ippoliti

Routledge
2011
sidottu
The bulk of contemporary economics assumes rather than explains differences between people or groups of people. Yet, many of these differences are produced by society or they imply differing opportunities and outcomes. This book argues that economists should concern themselves with the explanation of the social causes and effects of such differences.D’Ippoliti introduces the concept of diversity to summarise all differences that are of social origin and that a theory or model seeks to explain. This contrasts with the traditional concept of heterogeneity that instead refers to differences that are deemed to be exogenous of economic theory. In approaching this, the book ranges from the fields of methodology and history of economics to applied empirical work, as well as gender diversity which is considered in depth. The analysis of the thinking of two major economists of the past, John Stuart Mill and Gustav Schmoller, demonstrates how gender diversity exemplifies some of the fundamental issues in economics, such as the division of labour, society’s capacity to reproduce itself, and the role of social institutions and their impact on individual and collective behaviour.The book maintains that growth of GDP and of the services sector cannot be trusted to automatically bring about greater inclusion of women in the labour market. Active policy interventions are needed, spanning from the removal of discrimination to the provision of public services and the establishment of fair competition in the market, along with an improved division of social and political power between the sexes. This work will be of interest to researchers and students focusing on the history of economic thought, labour economics, social policy and gender studies.

The Solar System is a complex and fascinating dynamical system. This is the first textbook to describe comprehensively the dynamical features of the Solar System and to provide students with all the mathematical tools and physical models they need to understand how it works. It is a benchmark publication in the field of planetary dynamics and destined to become a classic. Clearly written and well illustrated, Solar System Dynamics shows how a basic knowledge of the two- and three-body problems and perturbation theory can be combined to understand features as diverse as the tidal heating of Jupiter’s moon Io, the origin of the Kirkwood gaps in the asteroid belt, and the radial structure of Saturn’s rings. Problems at the end of each chapter and a free Internet Mathematica® software package are provided. Solar System Dynamics provides an authoritative textbook for courses on planetary dynamics and celestial mechanics. It also equips students with the mathematical tools to tackle broader courses on dynamics, dynamical systems, applications of chaos theory and non-linear dynamics.
Geo Edison and the Mesozoic Mystery: The Adventures of Geo Edison
George "Geo" Edison isn't your typical teenager. He spends most of his time working alongside his best friend, Leonora "Lee" and his boxer, Ernie on all of his parents' scientific expeditions, and the rest of the time dreaming about time travel adventures and how to outwit dinosaurs. This teenage super-scientist knows a thing or two about archaeology mysteries, but when his parents start working long hours at a top-secret government site deep in the Colorado Plateau, Geo and Lee are excluded. They fill their time racing dirt bikes, free-climbing, and hunting for an elusive baby stegosaurus, but eventually, the top-secret site piques the teens' curiosity. They investigate and uncover the most important discovery in human history After a catastrophic failure, Geo is hurled into a real-life science fiction adventure as he wakes up imprisoned and finds his parents are missing. Although discouraged, Geo rallies against all odds, using science to battle against alien invasion, ghosts, government agents, bigfoot, dinosaurs, and a malevolent entity intent on destroying the world.This time travel fantasy extends beyond your basic expectations of time travel dinosaurs and other alien invasion science fiction. It's the ultimate story of good vs. evil. Whether you're looking for a time travel mystery or you're a fan of alien invasion books, you don't want to pass up this intriguing science fiction book for young adults. G.P. Taylor, internationally acclaimed and best-selling author of Shadowmancer, Wormwood, and Tersias, raves, "This is going to be a best-seller... and it would make a great Netflix series."

Rewired

Carl D. Marci

HARVARD UNIVERSITY PRESS

Living in an age of digital distraction has wreaked havoc on our brains—but there’s much we can do to restore our tech–life balance.We live in a world that is always on, where everyone is always connected. But we feel increasingly disconnected. Why? The answer lies in our brains. Carl D. Marci, MD, a leading expert on social and consumer neuroscience, reviews the mounting evidence that overuse of smart phones and social media is rewiring our brains, resulting in a losing deal: we are neglecting the relationships that sustain us and keep us healthy in favor of weaker and more ephemeral ties.The ability to connect and form strong social bonds is fundamental to human experience and emerged through unique structures in our brains. But ever-more-powerful technologies and ubiquitous access to media have hijacked our need to connect intimately and emotionally with others. The quick highs of clicking “like” and swiping right overstimulate the same neurological reward centers associated with social relationships. The habits that accompany our digital lifestyles are putting tremendous pressure on critical components of the brain associated with attention, emotion, and memory, changing how we process information and altering how we communicate and relate, even at a physiological level.As a psychiatrist working at the forefront of research on the impact of digital technology, Marci has seen this transformation up close and developed a range of responses. Rewired provides scientifically supported solutions for everyone who wants to restore their tech–life balance—from parents concerned about their children’s exposure to the internet to stressed workers dealing with the deluge of emails and managing the expectation of 24/7 availability.
Presidential Legislative Activity

Presidential Legislative Activity

Carl D. Cavalli

University Press of America
2006
nidottu
Presidential Legislative Activity explores the presidency and develops a typology that examines presidential activities. Author Carl D. Cavalli uses samples from the Eisenhower, Johnson, and Nixon administrations to explore questions about presidential behavior. The data confirms much of the heretofore descriptive and anecdotal evidence on such things as levels of presidential activity and travel, but dispute the popular conception of presidents being legislators. One advantage to this approach is the ability to explore commonalities across presidencies, instead of uniquely labeling each administration. Another advantage is the ability to empirically explore the president's relationship with Congress. A regression analysis of activity determines that contact with individual members of Congress is driven by their status within the hierarchy and secondarily by partisan concerns. Finally, there is also some evidence that contact with Congress varies directly with a president's legislative success.

"An excellent book . . . D'Este's masterly account comes into its own." "The Washington Post Book World"Born into hardscrabble poverty in rural Kansas, the son of stern pacifists, Dwight David Eisenhower graduated from high school more likely to teach history than to make it. Casting new light on this profound evolution, Eisenhower chronicles the unlikely, dramatic rise of the supreme Allied commander.With full access to private papers and letters, Carlo D'Este has exposed for the first time the untold myths that have surrounded Eisenhower and his family for over fifty years, and identified the complex and contradictory character behind Ike's famous grin and air of calm self-assurance.Unlike other biographies of the general, "Eisenhower "captures the true Ike, from his youth to the pinnacle of his career and afterward."
