Science, Politics, and Evolution - Elisabeth A. Lloyd - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Science, Politics, and Evolution - Elisabeth A. Lloyd - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

This book brings together important essays by one of the leading philosophers of science at work today. Elisabeth A. Lloyd examines several of the central topics in philosophy of biology, including the structure of evolutionary theory, units of selection, and evolutionary psychology, as well as the Science Wars, feminism and science, and sexuality and objectivity. Lloyd challenges the current evolutionary accounts of the female orgasm and analyses them for bias. She also offers an innovative analysis of the concept of objectivity. Lloyd analyses the structure of evolutionary theory and unlocks the puzzle of the units of selection debates into four distinct aspects, illuminating several mysteries in the biology literature. Central to all essays in this book is the author''s abiding concern for evidence and empirical data.

Human Documents of the Lloyd George Era - E. Royston Pike - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Human Documents of the Lloyd George Era - E. Royston Pike - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

First published in 1972, Human Documents of the Lloyd George Era presents the years when Lloyd George was in his prime, and his career in peace and war may be seen as the frame in which the ‘documents’ find their proper place; but the book’s real subject is not Lloyd George, it is the People, with whom he identified himself and spent his long life trying to serve. For the purpose of this book Lloyd George Era is taken as the period from 1905. The early documents enable us to reconstruct a vivid picture of life as it was lived ‘before the war’ by such people as London artisans, Middlesbrough ironworkers, Lancashire factory hands, Northumbrian pit-folk and farm labourers, while extracts from reports of the first ‘Lady Factory Inspectors’ and of the great Royal Commission on the Poor Law highlight the grim situation of the ‘Pauper Host’. With the outbreak of war, the mood changes, as Lloyd George leads the People in a massive war effort on the home front, producing munitions and trying to maintain normal industrial output. A glimpse is given of the various contributions made by women. Out of a vast mass of tiny details a picture emerges of an essentially peace- loving people joining forces to achieve what Lloyd George called ‘the bloodstained stagger’ to victory. This is an essential read for students of British history.

Descartes' Temporal Dualism - Rebecca Lloyd Waller - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Descartes' Temporal Dualism - Rebecca Lloyd Waller - Bog - Lexington Books - Plusbog.dk

Time plays many crucial roles in Descartes’ physics, metaphysics, and epistemology, but has been an understudied area of his philosophy. Rebecca Lloyd Waller argues for a new interpretation of Descartes’ account of time in light of the views held by his major predecessors. By studying Descartes’ account of time through its historical context, Lloyd Waller contends that Descartes’ views are actually consistent, comprehensive, and more historically significant than has been recognized. Descartes offers a type of temporal dualism composed of intrinsic duration and an innate idea of time-in-thought. Lloyd Waller''s explanation of Descartes'' time-in-thought is also the key to resolve many significant problems in the contemporary literature. Given both its historical sensitivity and its ability to directly engage and address common interpretive puzzles, Descartes'' temporal Dualism offers a significant contribution to the understanding of an important, but frequently neglected component of Descartes’ ontology.

The Age of Lloyd George - Kenneth O. Morgan - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Age of Lloyd George - Kenneth O. Morgan - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Originally published in 1971, this book traces the revival, triumph, division and decline of the British Liberal Party in the late 19 th & 20 th centuries. It does so by focusing on the career of David Lloyd George, itself the decisive agent for change in this period. The first part of the book is an extended critical essay; the second part consists of primary documentary material which is intimately linked to the commentary in the first section. The major phases of the period are covered: The tension between the Old Liberalism and the New; the challenges confronting the Liberal government of 1905-15; the impact of world war and Lloyd George’s wartime premiership; the Lloyd George coalition in 1918-22 and the reasons for its downfall; and the slow decline of the Liberals between 1922 and 1929.

3D Model-Based Definition and Model-Based Enterprise - Roy D. Whittenburg - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

3D Model-Based Definition and Model-Based Enterprise: Moving Industry Toward a Data-Driven Future will provide a thorough introduction to, overview of, and justification for using 3D solid model CAD digital product definition data as the primary design deliverable instead of the 2D drawings traditionally generated by design engineering. The authors address all lifecycle stages of a product and the data that describes it (product and manufacturing information, "PMI"). These are part of a new paradigm called Model-Based Design (MBD) and Model-Based Enterprise (MBE). The focus of this book will be MBD, MBE, and related 3D Model-Based Business Processes (MBx), presented in a practical manner.

Novatian’s Theology of the Father and Son - Daniel Lloyd - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Novatian’s Theology of the Father and Son - Daniel Lloyd - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Early Christian theologian Novatian’s (c. 200-258) work begins with the topic of the unique and supreme Father. The categories he uses to describe the Father include both traditions from Christian sources and articulations of negative theology, especially as seen in Middle Platonism. After establishing the limitations set by philosophical and theological language, Daniel Lloyd turns to the positive categories Novatian chooses for describing the Father, highlighting Novatian’s emphasis on revelation, evaluating the parameters of the uniqueness of the Father, and showing that his theology presents the Father as distinct in attributes such as incomprehensibility, eternality, and inability to change. Having presented Novatian’s theology of the Father as the center point of his thought, Lloyd next assesses Novatian’s theology of the Son, showing that his categories and terminology, even to the point of calling the Son “God,” do not function against his theology of the unique Father. Novatian has many resources for speaking about the Son’s divinity in a way that does not contradict his theology of the Father. Lloyd presents and analyzes these resources to demonstrate that the Son’s status as ontologically subordinate to the Father is the best reading of De Trinitate.

Model Minority Masochism - Takeo Rivera - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Model Minority Masochism - Takeo Rivera - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

There are few grand narratives that loom over Asian Americans more than the model minority. While many Asian Americanist scholars and activists aim to disprove the model minority as myth, author Takeo Rivera instead rethinks the model minority as cultural politics. Rather than disproving the model minority, Rivera instead argues that Asian Americans have formulated their racial and gendered subjectivities in relation to what Rivera terms model minority masochism. Examining hegemonic masculine Asian American cultural performance across multiple media, from literature and theater to videogames and activist archives, Rivera details two complementary forms of contemporary racial masochism: a self-subjugating masochism which embraces the model minority, and its opposite, a self-flagellating masochism that punishes oneself for having been associated with the model minority at all.

Klein's Last Quarterly Econometric Model Of The United States: Wharton Quarterly Econometric Model: Mark 10 - Lawrence R (univ Of Pennsylvania Klein -

Klein's Last Quarterly Econometric Model Of The United States: Wharton Quarterly Econometric Model: Mark 10 - Lawrence R (univ Of Pennsylvania Klein -

This book presents Professor Lawrence R Klein and his group's last quarterly econometric model of the United States economy that they had produced at the University of Pennsylvania. This is the last econometric model that Lawrence Klein and his disciples have left after some 50 years of cumulated efforts of constructing the US economy model up to around 2000. It was widely known as the WEFA Econometric Model Mark 10 , and is the culmination of Professor Klein's research which spans more than 70 years, and would please not only Professor Klein's old students and colleagues, but also younger students who have heard so much of Klein models but have yet to see the latest model in its complete and printed form.

The China Model - Yongnian Zheng - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

The China Model - Yongnian Zheng - Bog - Peter Lang Publishing Inc - Plusbog.dk

The world has witnessed the rise of China, and there is a sustained debate on the China model. While some scholars believe that the China model is obsolete, others regard the China model as a threat to democracy. This book takes an empirical approach and regards the China model as it is and looks into different aspects of the China model, ranging from economic growth, social development, central-local relations to the development of internal pluralism, the rise of civil society and rural democracy. Given the fact that China’s reform and opening up since the late Deng Xiaoping has taken place in the context of globalization, the book draws implications of the China model for the world. Particularly, the book attempts to examine the impact of China’s socio-economic development model on democratization.
