The Republican Brain : The Science of Why They Deny Science--And Reality (9781683366966)

Bestselling author Chris Mooney uses cutting-edge research to explain the psychology behind why today's Republicans reject reality--it's just part of who they are. From climate change to evolution, the rejection of mainstream science among Republicans is growing, as is the denial of expert consensus on the economy, American history, foreign policy and much more. Why won't Republicans accept things that most experts agree on? Why are they constantly fighting against the facts? Science writer Chris Mooney explores brain scans, polls, and psychology experiments to explain why conservatives today believe more wrong things; appear more likely than Democrats to oppose new ideas and less likely to change their beliefs in the face of new facts; and sometimes respond to compelling evidence by doubling down on their current beliefs. Goes beyond the standard claims about ignorance or corporate malfeasance to discover the real, scientific reasons why Republicans reject the widely acc...

Der Erste (9783805350334)

Augustus erschuf eine Monarchie, deren neue Form über das Mittelalter hinaus bis in die Neuzeit als Kaisermodell diente. Die Initialisierung der Monarchie in Rom durch das Prinzipat ist somit mehr als ein reiner Epocheneinschnitt in der Geschichte des Römischen Reiches. Vielmehr war es ein Schritt, der die weitere Weltgeschichte auf vielen Ebenen beeinflussen sollte. Renommierte Althistoriker, Archäologen und Altphilologen betrachten in diesem Band die Bedeutung des ersten römischen Kaisers in allen Epochen von der Antike bis heute.

Sie zeigen auch sein näheres Umfeld, insbesondere die erste Kaiserin Livia und die Auswirkungen auf das Römische Reich aus ungewohnter Perspektive. Product details ...

Market Demand : Theory and Empirical Evidence (9780691634937)

In a major work that is the culmination of over a decade of intensive research, Werner Hildenbrand presents a new theory of market demand, the principal aim of which is to identify the conditions under which the Law of Demand holds true. Hildenbrand argues that the Law of Demand is due mainly to the "heterogeneity" of the population of households. In his view, "rationality" of individual behavior plays only a minor role. While the traditional approach to the theory of market demand is to analyze the question, To what extent are the postulated properties of individual behavior preserved by going from individual to market demand?, this book asks the question, Which properties of the market demand function are created by the aggregation process?. Two hypotheses on the population of households play a key role in Hilden-brand's thinking. The first is the "increasing dispersion" and the second the "increasing spread" of households' demand. The...

The story of a marriage, and of two lives in science. When Conrad fails to return from a conference, Eleanor wonders if it is because of the affair she is having?
