 The Fascinating Animal Book for Kids: 500 Wild Facts! by Ginjer Clarke English | January 21, 2020 | ISBN: 1646111494 | 210 pages | Rar (PDF, AZW3) | 84 Mb From anglerfish to zebras―500 awesome animal facts for kids ages 9 to 12  The Fabric of the Cosmos: Space, Time, and the Texture of Reality By Brian Greene 2004 | 740 Pages | ISBN: 0375412883 | PDF | 3 MB This is simply another great book on the cosmos by Brian Greene. I previously read Greene's book "The Elegant Universe" and I think at enjoyed this one even more. Greene packs as enormous wealth of information in his books. Quite frankly, it takes me considerably longer to read one of his books than most other books I read because of the volume of new information I am learning. Greene has done a fantastic job of explaining the cosmos in this work. His explanations are detailed and lengthy enough to thoroughly convey the concepts discussed. There were many concepts that I read about in other books which were clearly delineated in this book, and I went away with a much better understanding. Green covers a wealth of information about the cosmos such as wave probability, uncertainty, spin, entanglement, the flow and direction of time, quantum erasure, decoherence, symmetry, the various forces of nature (strong, weak, electromagnetic, gravity), Higgs field, the big bang, inflation, dark matter, dark energy, entropy, string theory, branes, time travel, the future, and much more.If you want to get a good education about the universe we live in, I high recommend Green's books.  The Experimental Fire: Inventing English Alchemy, 1300-1700 (Synthesis) by Jennifer M. Rampling 2020 | ISBN: 022671070X | English | 416 pages | PDF | 9 MB In medieval and early modern Europe, the practice of alchemy promised extraordinary physical transformations. Who would not be amazed to see base metals turned into silver and gold, hard iron into soft water, and deadly poison into elixirs that could heal the human body? To defend such claims, alchemists turned to the past, scouring ancient books for evidence of a lost alchemical heritage and seeking to translate their secret language and obscure imagery into replicable, practical effects.  The Evolution Deceit By Harun Yahya 1999 | 277 Pages | ISBN: 1897940971 | PDF | 4 MB No rational argument will have a rational effect on a man who does not want to adopt a rational attitude.Hallucinatory bilge beyond redemption. The most fascinating aspect of this hack's writing is where he obtains tens of millions of dollars necessary to flood both Europe and Americas with this shameless fraud. Bet is on Salafist petro-dollars from the Gulf.  The Euro and Its Central Bank: Getting United after the Union By Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa 2004 | 283 Pages | ISBN: 0262162229 | PDF | 3 MB This history and analysis of the euro and the European Central Bank traces the process of European monetary integration from its beginnings as a utopian vision in the aftermath of World War II through the establishment of a single currency managed by a central bank. Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa, a central banker who has been involved in the making of European monetary unification since 1979, offers an accessible guide to the euro and the European Central Bank for scholars, students, and the general reader, discussing the related economic, financial, monetary, and international political issues. In the process he also provides an overview of central banking in general and the multiple activities of a central bank; as the case of the European Central Bank illustrates, central banking involves not only monetary analysis and policy but much else, including banknote printing and handling, market operations, payment systems, bank supervision, and coordinating with other public institutions. Padoa-Schioppa begins with the historical background of European monetary integration, starting with the 1957 Treaty of Rome, which lay the foundation for the Common Market, and covering the 1992 Maastricht Treaty, the development of an anchor currency, and the "euroskepticism" of the U.K. Subsequent chapters are devoted to economic policy, monetary policy, the euro as unifier in the financial system, the payment system, the euro as an international actor outside "euroland," and the challenges ahead for the still relatively young project of European monetary integration.

The Economics of the Third Way: Experiences from Around the World By Philip Arestis, Malcolm C. Sawyer 2001 | 239 Pages | ISBN: 1840644591 | PDF | 2 MB The 'third way' is a term often used by politicians and others to indicate a set of new policies adopted by former social democratic parties throughout the world. This book is an attempt to dissect the ideas and economic theory behind the rhetoric of the 'third way' through a critical evaluation of the experiences of 'third way' administrations in a diverse range of countries. The editors suggest seven elements which can help define the theoretical economic foundations of 'third way' policies. They consider whether there is a consistent economic approach underlying the 'third way', and show that it is much influenced by New Keynesian economics. The contributors to the book explore the policy experiences from ten different countries, plus the European Union as a whole. Each contribution provides an examination of the application and implementation of 'third way' policies in a different country. These contributions indicate the similarities of the policies of the 'third way', though important differences in experience also emerge. Providing an acute assessment and comprehensive interpretation of the 'third way', while neither endorsing nor dismissing its validity, this book should be widely read by policymakers, political scientists, and those with an interest in economic policy and economic analysis.  The Economics of Contracts: A Primer, 2nd Edition By Bernard Salanie 1997 | 253 Pages | ISBN: 0262193868 | PDF | 7 MB ...so if that's what you want, then this book is for you. However, if you're using this for your first look at contract theory, you may well be disappointed (as I am). I don't credit Salanie for leaving out the technical details of the models, because he doesn't effectively convey the depth of the models in his largely intuitive treatment. I'm all for intuition and simplicity, but his book leaves me with more questions than answers after reading it. I'm browsing around on Amazon for a better book, so I thought I'd write a quick rating so that other lowly beginners like me don't make the same mistake I made in purchasing this as my only textbook. On the other hand, I suppose if you want a concise overview with the sketch of most of the important contract theory models, then this might be what you're looking for. |
