The Birth of Modern America, 1914 - 1945

John McClymer

Provides a look at the origins of the culture wars of modern America and the political and economic transformation of the U.S. republic This book tells, in clear and lively prose, how Americans struggled with modernity in both its cultural and economic forms between the start of World War I and the end of World War II, focusing on the 1920s through 1930s. This edition includes revisions that expand the scope and features increased coverage of topics that will be of great interest to new readers as well as those familiar with the subject. The Birth of Modern America, 1914-1945 , Second Edition begins with a discussion of the promises and perils of the progressive era. The book goes on to look at the Great War and life on the home front and explores many paradoxes that marked the birth of Modern America. Topics covered include: the pervasive racism and nativism during and after WWI; the disillusionment with Woodrow Wilson's rhetorical idealism; the emergence of national media; the Great Depression; FDR and the New Deal; the attack on Pearl Harbor; Hollywood’s part during World War II; the United States' decision to drop «the bomb» on Japan; and more. Makes a strong contribution to understanding American society in the interwar years (1920s and 1930s) Disputes that American entry into WWII brought the New Deal to an end and argues that wartime measures foreshadowed postwar American practice Features more coverage of politics in the 1920s and 1930s Includes an Afterword covering the G.I. bill, postwar prosperity, Americans' move to the suburbs, the challenges to peace in Europe and Asia, and the Cold War The Birth of Modern America, 1914-1945 is an excellent book for undergraduate courses on the 20th Century and advanced placement courses. It will benefit all students and scholars of the Progressive Era, the Depression, 1920s and 1930s America, and America between the Wars.

Extreme Events and Climate Change

Группа авторов

An authoritative volume focusing on multidisciplinary methods to estimate the impacts of climate-related extreme events to society As the intensity and frequency of extreme events related to climate change continue to increase, there is an urgent need for clear and cohesive analysis that integrates both climatological and socioeconomic impacts. Extreme Events and Climate Change provides a timely, multidisciplinary examination of the impacts of extreme weather under a warming climate. Offering wide-ranging coverage of the methods and analysis that relate changes in extreme events to their societal impacts, this volume helps readers understand and overcome the methodological challenges associated with extreme event analysis. Contributions from leading experts from across disciplines describe the theoretical requirements for analyzing the complex interactions between meteorological phenomena and the resulting outcomes, discuss new approaches for analyzing the impacts of extreme events on society, and illustrate how empirical and theoretical concepts merge to form a unified plan that enables informed decision making. Throughout the text, innovative frameworks allow readers to find solutions to the modeling and statistical challenges encountered when analyzing extreme events. Designed for researchers and policy makers alike, this important resource : Discusses topics central to understanding how extreme weather changes as the climate warms Provides coverage of analysis methods that relate changes in extreme events to their societal impacts Reviews significant theoretical and modeling advances in the physical aspects of climate science Presents a comprehensive view of state of the science, including new ways of using data from different sources Extreme Events and Climate Change: A Multidisciplinary Approach is an indispensable volume for students, researchers, scientists, and practitioners in fields such as hazard and risk analysis, climate change, atmospheric and ocean sciences, hydrology, geography, agricultural science, and environmental and space science.

Paint Analysis

Roger Dietrich

The market demands modern, high-performance, flawless paints that possess specified properties. Where deviations from set points occur, the cause must be investigated and the error must be remedied. What «standard methods» don't disclose is why a particular coating either meets or fails to meet a requirement. Thus the author presents modern analytical techniques and their applications in the coatings industry that answer further complex questions. The information in this book can be used for performing failure analysis, production control and quality control, and also meet the requirements of modern high-level quality management. An excellent combination of theory and practice for formulators, paint engineers and applied technologists seeking a sound basic introduction to instrumental paint analysis and concrete answers to everyday problems.

Экономическая мысль. Том 1. От Античности до Адама Смита

Мюррей Ротбард

В двухтомной истории экономической мысли от Античности до середины XIX в., преддверия маржиналистской революции, Мюррей Ротбард описывает развитие представлений о ключевых экономических понятиях – редкости благ, обмене, торговле, полезности, ценности, издержках, цене, деньгах, проценте – и связывающих их экономических законах, а также об экономической политике, постепенно эволюционировавшей от всеохватного государственного регулирования и мелочной регламентации до относительного невмешательства и экономической свободы (laissez faire). Автор не ограничивается, как это часто бывает, пунктирным изложением идей Великих Экономистов, а, восстанавливая живую ткань истории, знакомит читателей с «второстепенными» фигурами, чей вклад в развитие экономической науки иногда более весом, чем у многих знаменитостей. Ротбард показывает, что экономическая теория – это не постоянно прогрессирующая система взглядов, что она может двигаться и порой движется по зигзагообразной и даже попятной траектории, когда более поздние систематические заблуждения вытесняют более ранние, но правильные парадигмы, тем самым направляя экономическую мысль по ошибочному пути.

Después de matar al oso pardo

Josemaría Camacho

Por medio de una prosa cínica y desapegada, Después de matar al oso pardo relata la historia de Marcial, un superviviente de un accidente aéreo. Para Marcial no hay espacio para la gloria ni el fracaso. Su historia se desarrollará a partir de las reflexiones en torno al miedo, la muerte, la verdad y el heroísmo. A través de diferentes perspectivas narrativas, se entretejen reflexiones filosóficas desde la ciencia, la fe religiosa, el pensamiento mágico, la reencarnación y sobre el significado de haber sufrido un momento previo a la muerte y no haber muerto para, al final, remarcar que todos somos meras anécdotas. «Quienes han seguido la obra narrativa de Josemaría Camacho ya se han percatado de la atención que le dedica al punto de vista de quien narra una historia. Esta novela, como ocurrió con Interruptus (2016), da fe de ello: vuelven los mecanismos precisos que animan la voz del relato. Además, en Después de matar al oso pardo se impone una tarea: el desmenuzamiento paciente de la idea de la mortalidad. Esta novela revela a las situaciones límite como maestras crueles: ante ellas las ideas se vuelven no mejores, ni reconfortantes, pero claras». Guillermo Núñez Jáuregui
