Gaining Ground

Autor: Clifford Winston

Número de Páginas: 308

Focusing on ways that markets work with, rather than against, governments to enhance public welfare. The optimal mix of market forces and government intervention to allocate resources is one of the longest-standing problems facing human civilization. At the theoretical extremes, resources in centrally planned economies are allocated by the government, while resources in capitalist economies are allocated by private markets. In practice, market forces and government interventions co-exist to allocate goods and services in a political environment with shifting pressures to give one approach more responsibility than the other. Current public attitudes toward markets are at a low point in the wake of the Great Recession and the growth in income inequality that began in the 1970s. However, in this book, noted Brookings economist Clifford Winston argues that it is a serious mistake to overlook that markets will be a critical part of the solution to any public objective—whether it be to reduce inequality, stimulate long-term growth, slow climate change, or eliminate COVID 19. In Winston's view, policymakers should be much more aware of the many ways that markets help government to...

Outbreak

Autor: Timothy D. Lytton

Número de Páginas: 357

Foodborne illness is a big problem. Wash those chicken breasts, and you’re likely to spread Salmonella to your countertops, kitchen towels, and other foods nearby. Even salad greens can become biohazards when toxic strains of E. coli inhabit the water used to irrigate crops. All told, contaminated food causes 48 million illnesses, 128,000 hospitalizations, and 3,000 deaths each year in the United States. With Outbreak, Timothy D. Lytton provides an up-to-date history and analysis of the US food safety system. He pays particular attention to important but frequently overlooked elements of the system, including private audits and liability insurance. Lytton chronicles efforts dating back to the 1800s to combat widespread contamination by pathogens such as E. coli and salmonella that have become frighteningly familiar to consumers. Over time, deadly foodborne illness outbreaks caused by infected milk, poison hamburgers, and tainted spinach have spurred steady scientific and technological advances in food safety. Nevertheless, problems persist. Inadequate agency budgets restrict the reach of government regulation. Pressure from consumers to keep prices down constrains industry...

Número de Páginas: 649

The definitive introduction to Bayesian cognitive science, written by pioneers of the field. How does human intelligence work, in engineering terms? How do our minds get so much from so little?

This textbook offers an authoritative introduction to Bayesian cognitive science and a unifying theoretical perspective on how the mind works. Part I provides an introduction to the key mathematical ideas and illustrations with examples from the psychological literature, including detailed derivations of specific models and references that can be used to learn more about the underlying principles.

Vielsprachigkeit der Sprache

Autor: Anja Burghardt , Eva Hausbacher

Número de Páginas: 447

Das Forschungsfeld "Literatur und Mehrsprachigkeit" hat in den letzten Jahren auch in der Slavistik einen beachtlichen Aufschwung erfahren, wobei der Fokus der Forschung weg von sprachbiographischen und soziolinguistischen Fragen hin zu den Dynamiken (mehr-)sprachlicher textueller Verfahren gelenkt wurde. Der Band untersucht historische und gegenwärtige Phänomene von Mehrsprachigkeit in den slavischen Literaturen. Er spannt einen breiten Bogen durch die slavischen Sprachen und Literaturen über Jahrhunderte hinweg, um damit die Vielfalt der Formen und Funktionen von Vielsprachigkeit zur Darstellung zu bringen. Dabei werden sowohl theoretische Fragen verhandelt, wie etwa die Verbindung von Mehrsprachigkeit mit Konzepten der Übersetzung, als auch konkrete Textphänomene wie Code-Switching oder Sprachecho analysiert und deren Funktionen und Wirkungseffekte bestimmt.

Her Orc Guardian

Autor: Zoe Ashwood

Número de Páginas: 0

At my father's dying wish, I crossed the realm, looking for his best friend...and ended up in an orc camp. It turns out the man I'd heard so much about is actually an orc, a warrior with more scars than I can count and a surly disposition. And after reading the letter my father sent him, he declares himself my guardian - and me his ward. Which wouldn't be a problem if he wasn't intent on marrying me off to some human stranger, even though the tension between us grows with every touch and every heated, forbidden look. Sometimes, though, a woman has to take her fate and pleasure in her own hands, and after being told what to do my entire life, I'm not taking any more chances. I want to learn more about myself. And I think my orc guardian might be the right male for the job. Her Orc Guardian is an orc fantasy romance with a large, scarred hero and an innocent heroine who quickly learns she enjoys everything her body is capable of. You'll love this story if you like reading about size difference issues, age-gap relationships, and grumpy heroes who fall for spirited heroines. This is the second book in a series of standalones - each book can be read separately and features a...

Her Orc King

Captured by slavers, sold at auction to brutal orcs, and dragged halfway across the realm... I never thought I'd say this, but being kidnapped by a band of pillaging bandits wasn't the low point of my life. No, that came when a massive, scarred orc king decided I was his mate and refused to let me leave his cave. Orcs are a vile race without a shred of propriety, and their king is the worst of all - he expects me to accept their wicked ways and doesn't understand that my thoughts scatter whenever he removes his shirt. He insists on taking care of me - both my body and soul - and won't take no for an answer. But trouble brews in this remote kingdom. The orcs are keeping secrets, and I want to learn the truth. And I'm no longer certain I want to return to the human world. Maybe I want to stay right here, in King Gorvor's arms. Her Orc King is an orc fantasy romance with a big, scarred hero who falls hard for the stubborn human heroine. You'll love it if you enjoy your books with a hint of kidnapping, size difference issues, and lots of steamy scenes. This is the first book of a series of standalones - each book can be read separately and features a happily-ever-after ending for that ...

Regénesis

Autor: George Monbiot

Número de Páginas: 300

Por primera vez desde el Neolítico tenemos la oportunidad de transformar no solo nuestro sistema alimentario, sino toda nuestra relación con la naturaleza. La agricultura y la ganadería son la principal causa de destrucción del medio ambiente en el mundo, pero apenas se habla de ello. Criticamos la expansión urbana, pero el sector primario ocupa una superficie treinta veces mayor. Hemos arado, vallado y destinado al pastoreo grandes extensiones del planeta, talando bosques, extinguiendo la fauna autóctona y envenenando ríos y océanos para alimentarnos. Regénesis nos presenta un nuevo futuro para la alimentación y la humanidad, con el objetivo de resolver el mayor de nuestros dilemas: alimentar al mundo sin devorar el planeta. A partir de los asombrosos avances de la ecología del suelo, Monbiot muestra cómo ahondar en el todavía escaso conocimiento de la tierra que pisamos podría permitirnos cultivar más alimentos con menos agricultura. Algunas estrategias están ya en marcha: desde el hortelano que ha revolucionado nuestra comprensión de la fertilidad; pasando por las nuevas variedades de cereales perennes, que liberan a la tierra de arados y sustancias químicas...
