Free Download Klaus Mathis, Deborah Shannon, "Efficiency Instead of Justice?: Searching for the Philosophical Foundations of the Economic Analysis of Law"
English | 2009 | pages: 222 | ISBN: 1402097972, 9048182034 | PDF | 3,9 mb
Economic analysis of law is an interesting and challenging attempt to employ the concepts and reasoning methods of modern economic theory so as to gain a deeper understanding of legal problems. According to Richard A. Posner it is the role of the law to encourage market competition and, where the market fails because transaction costs are too high, to simulate the result of competitive markets. This would maximize economic efficiency and social wealth.

Free Download Kent Annan, "After Shock: Searching for Honest Faith When Your World Is Shaken"
English | 2011 | ISBN: 145961593X | EPUB | pages: 168 | 0.2 mb
In the wake of a historic earthquake in the fragile country of Haiti, Kent Annan considers suffering-from the epic to the everyday-as a problem for faith. Less than two weeks after the release of Kent’s book about his work with Haiti Partners, he heard the news. Friends trapped under the rubble of buildings. Friends sprinting across the city looking for family. Churches-including one Kent often attended-turned to rubble. Suddenly Kent and his friends were part of an uncomfortable fellowship: people whose faith is shaken by crisis. Taking courage from the psalmists of old and the company of his grieving neighbors, Kent has found that there is solidarity in suffering. Others have followed life to the edge of meaning and have heard God even there, calling for honest faith. Are there questions or realities your faith can’t handle? Kent wrote: After Shock; to help you find out.

Free Download Marilyn B. Ogilvie, "Searching the Stars: The Story of Caroline Herschel"
English | 2008 | ISBN: 0752442775 | EPUB | pages: 240 | 0.6 mb
Caroline Herschel is best known as the less significant sister of the astronomer William Herschel. Yet the romantic notion of her tirelessly working for her brother while he made his studies of the heavens, documenting his discoveries so he could achieve greatness in the scientific world, couldn’t be further from the truth. When Caroline wasn’t working as her brother’s assistant, she was sweeping the stars with her own small telescope given to her by William. Not only did she unearth three important nebulae, but she discovered no fewer than eight comets in her own right. When William became Astronomer Royal to King George III in 1782, Caroline too received an annual salary, making her the first ever woman to work as a professional scientist.William was made a fellow of the Royal Society in 1781 after discovering the planet Uranus. It wasn’t until 1828, but the Society would eventually reward Caroline too, with its Gold Medal. This award would not be awarded to another woman until 1996. This fascinating new biography of one of our most outstanding scientists reveals the hardships experienced by a woman pursuing a male profession. Yet how did this unattractive, diminutive woman gain the respect of her professional colleagues, her country, and even her king? As Marilyn B. Ogilive investigates this extraordinary life, the determination, humility, and passion of one unremarkable woman come to light.

Free Download Michele Monserrati, "Searching for Japan: 20th Century Italy’s Fascination with Japanese Culture "
English | ISBN: 1789621070 | 2020 | 256 pages | PDF | 8 MB
This book pursues the specific case of Italian travel narratives in the Far East, through a focus on the experience of Japan in works by writers who visited the Land of the Rising Sun beginning in the Meiji period (1868-1912) and during the concomitant opening of Japan’s relations with the West. Drawing from the fields of Postcolonial and Transnational Studies, analysis of these texts explores one central question: what does it mean to imagine Japanese culture as contributing to Italian culture? Each author shares in common an attempt to disrupt ideas about dichotomies and unbalanced power relationships between East and West. Proposing the notion of ‘relational Orientalism,’ this book suggests that Italian travelogues to Japan, in many cases, pursued the goal of building imaginary transnational communities, predicated on commonalities and integration, by claiming what they perceived as ‘Oriental’ as their own. In contrast with a long history of Western representations of Japan as inferior and irrational, Searching for Japan identifies a positive overarching attitude toward the Far East country in modern Italian culture. Expanding the horizon of Italian transnational networks, normally situated within the Southern European region, this book reinstates the existence of an alternative Euro-Asian axis, operating across Italian history.
