  • av Marc Trachtenberg
    679,-

    Offers a demonstration of how historical analysis can be brought to bear on the study of strategic issues, and, conversely, how strategic thinking can help drive historical research. This book begins with an overview of strategic thought in America from 1952 through 1966 and ends with a discussion of 'making sense' of the nuclear age.

    Traces the historical development of attitudes toward the arts over the past 150 years, suggesting that the present is a period of cultural liquidation, nothing less than the ending of the modern age that began with the Renaissance.

  • - Sexual Murder in Weimar Germany
    av Maria Tatar
    538,-

    Confronting our society's obsession with sexual violence, this work seeks the meaning behind one of the most disturbing images of twentieth-century Western culture: the violated female corpse. It focuses on the politically turbulent Weimar Republic, often viewed as the birthplace of a transgressive avant-garde modernism.

  • - How French Women Became Modern
    av Carla Hesse
    612,-

    Shows what it meant to make an independent intellectual life as a woman in France. This work offers portraits of the work and mental lives of many fascinating women who put pen to paper during and after the Revolution.

  • - American Foreign Policy in Its Century
    av David A. Lake
    612,-

    Should the US pursue its security unilaterally or in cooperation with others? If the latter, how can its interests be best protected against opportunism by untrustworthy partners? This book attempts to explain security relations from an institutionalist approach.

  • - Sexual Selection by Cryptic Female Choice
    av William Eberhard
    1 250,-

    Many evidences have begun to reveal flaws in the assumption of female passivity and lack of discrimination after copulation has begun. This book features research on the ability of females to shape the outcome of mating. It also describes studies of cryptic mechanisms by which a female can accept a male for copulation but reject him as a father.

    av Nancy Joan Weiss
    478,-

    Examines a political phenomenon which is the dramatic shift of black voters from the Republican to the Democratic party in the 1930s. This book shows that blacks became Democrats in response to the economic benefits of the New Deal and that they voted for Franklin Roosevelt in spite of the New Deal's lack of a substantive record on race.

  • - The Road Not Taken
    av J. Peter Euben
    612,-

    Puts forward an argument that Greek tragedy was the context for classical political theory and that such theory read in terms of tragedy provides a ground for contemporary theorizing alert to the concerns of post-modernism, such as normalization, the dominance of humanism, and the status of theory.

  • - How States and Nations Develop and Dissolve
    av Lars-Erik Cederman
    615,-

    The disappearance and formation of states and nations after the end of the Cold War have proved puzzling to both theorists and policymakers. This book argues that this lack of conceptual preparation stems from two tendencies in conventional theorizing.

  • - Holism in German Culture from Wilhelm II to Hitler
    av Anne Harrington
    679,-

    By the 1920s in Central Europe, it had become a truism among intellectuals that natural science had "disenchanted" the world, and in particular had reduced humans to mere mechanisms, devoid of higher purpose. This title shows that in fact the story of holism in Germany is a politically heterogeneous story with multiple endings.

  • - Goldenrods, Gallmakers, and Natural Enemies (MPB-29)
    av Arthur E. Weis & Warren G. Abrahamson
    1 450,-

    Presents the results of more than 25 years of studying plant-insect interactions. This book addresses specific theories and concepts that have guided biological research for more than two decades and to engage general problems in evolutionary biology. It is useful to those involved in studying the ways in which interdependent species interact.

  • - Melville, Twain, and the Holy Land Mania
    av Hilton Obenzinger
    612,-

    Combining literary and historical insights and attention to the context of other American writings about Palestine, this book throws light on the construction of American identity in the nineteenth century.

    Shows that the overall dynamical behavior of populations must be understood in terms of the behavior of individuals. The author contends that further progress in population ecology requires taking into account individual differences other than sex, age, and taxonomic affiliation - unequal access to resources, for instance.

    Discusses the methods and problems involved in the demonstration and measurement of natural selection. This work presents the critical evidence for its existence, and places it in an evolutionary perspective. It argues that natural selection can explain the change of frequencies of variants, but not their origins.

    Problems in theoretical physics often lead to paradoxical answers; yet closer reasoning and a more complete analysis invariably lead to the resolution of the paradox. This work is based on the author's lectures at the University of Washington in the spring of 1977 and at the Institut de Physique Nucleaire, University de Paris-Sud, Orsay.

  • av Michael Patrick Hassell
    859,-

    Presents a study of arthropod predador-prey systems. This work shows how many of the components of predation may be simply modeled in order to reveal their effects on the overall dynamics of the interacting populations. It also describes how the biological processes of insect predator-prey, including host-parasitoid interactions may be understood.

  • av John A. Endler

    Explores the origins and development of geographic variation, divergence, and speciation. This work shows how geographic differentiation and speciation may develop in spite of continuous gene flow. It discusses the relationships among gene flow, dispersal, and migration.

  • av Martin L. Cody

    Emphasizes the role of competition at levels above single species populations, and describes how competition, by way of the niche concept, determines the structure of communities. This work draws most examples from eleven North and South American bird communities, although the concepts and methodology are far more general.

  • av Stephen D. Fretwell
    849,-

    Most organisms live in a seasonal environment. During their life cycles, some species face seasons of breeding and nonbreeding. This work analyzes the complex interaction between a population and a regularly varying environment in an attempt to define and measure seasonality as a critical parameter in the general theory of population regulation.
