The Great Economists

A Times Best Business Book of 2018What can the ideas of history's greatest economists tell us about the most important issues of our time? 'The best place to start to learn about the very greatest economists of all time' Professor Tyler Cowen, author of The Complacent Class and The Great StagnationSince the days of Adam Smith, economists have grappled with a series of familiar problems - but often their ideas are hard to digest, before we even try to apply them to today's issues. Linda Yueh is renowned for her combination of erudition, as an accomplished economist herself, and accessibility, as a leading writer and broadcaster in this field; and in The Great Economists she explains the key thoughts of history's greatest economists, how their lives and times affected their ideas, how our lives have been influenced by their work, and how they could help with the policy challenges that we face today.In the light of current economic problems, and in particular economic growth, Yueh explores the thoughts of economists from Adam Smith and David Ricardo through Joan Robinson and Milton Friedman to Douglass North and Robert Solow. Along the way she asks, for example: what do the ideas of Karl Marx tell us about the likely future for the Chinese economy? How does the work of John Maynard Keynes, who argued for government spending to create full employment, help us think about state investment? And with globalization in trouble, what can we learn about handling Brexit and Trumpism?

Soccer Vs. The State 2nd Edition - Tackling Football and Radical Politics Kuhn GabrielPaperback softback

Soccer has turned into a multi-billion-dollar industry. Professionalism and commercialization dominate its global image. Yet the game retains a rebellious side, maybe more so than any other sport co-opted by moneymakers and corrupt politicians. From its roots in working-class England to political protests by players and fans, and a current radical soccer underground, the notion of football as the "people's game" has been kept alive by numerous individuals, teams, and communities.This book not only traces this history but also reflects on common criticisms--that soccer ferments nationalism, serves right-wing powers, and fosters competitiveness--exploring alternative perspectives and practical examples of egalitarian DIY soccer. Soccer vs. the State serves both as an orientation for the politically conscious football supporter and as an inspiration for those who try to

Nehaňte kukučku - Alfréd Trnka

Cieľom knihy nie je len hniezdny parazitizmus a obhajoba samotnej kukučky, ale nahliadnutím do jej intímneho života a do života jedného z jej hlavných hostiteľov, aj ďalšie témy z behaviorálnej ekológie vtákov, demonštrované práve na týchto modelových druhoch, a v neposlednom rade tiež motivácia študentov a začínajúcich ekológov a ornitológov k hlbšiemu štúdiu danej problematiky v snahe prispieť tak k ďalšiemu rozvoju tejto zaujímavej vednej disciplíny. Autor vychádzal pritom hlavne z vlastných výskumov realizovaných spolu s ďalšími kolegami, pričom som sa opieral aj o širšie doteraz publikované poznatky iných autorov. Do akej miery sa mi to podarilo, ukáže čas.Publikácia je bohato ilustrovaná.

Tales of Literacy for the 21st Century - The Literary Agenda Wolf Maryanne Tufts UniversityPaperback

The Literary Agenda is a series of short polemical monographs about the importance of literature and of reading in the wider world and about the state of literary education inside schools and universities. The category of the literary has always been contentious. What is clear, however, is how increasingly it is dismissed or is unrecognised as a way of thinking or an arena for thought. It is sceptically challenged from within, for example, by the sometimes rival claims of cultural history, contextualized explanation, or media studies. It is shaken from without by even greater pressures: by economic exigency and the severe social attitudes that can follow from it; by technological change that may leave the traditional forms of serious human communication looking merely antiquated. For just these reasons this is the right time for renewal, to start reinvigorated work into the
