Who Will Feed China? - Wake-Up Call for a Small Planet - Bok av Lester Brown - Inbunden

Who Will Feed China? - Wake-Up Call for a Small Planet - Bok av Lester Brown - Inbunden

Originally published in 1995, but with enduring relevance in a time of global population growth and food insecurity, when it was first published, this book attracted much global attention, and criticism from Beijing. It argued that even as water becomes scarcer in a land where 80% of the grain crop is irrigated, as per-acre yield gains are erased by the loss of agricultural land to industrialization, and as food production stagnates, China still increases its population by the equivalent of a new..

Cicero - Bok av T A Dorey - Inbunden

First published in 1965, Cicero contains a number of assessments of Cicero's life and works, made by a group of scholars that includes some of the acknowledged experts in their particular field.

Images of a Constitution - Bok av William E Conklin - Inbunden

Originally published in 1989, in this remarkable conjunction of constitutional theory, jurisprudence, literary theory, constitutional law, and political theory, William Conklin first tells us what a constitution is not: it is not a text, nor a compendium of judicial and legislative decisions interpreting a text, nor a set of doctrines, nor moral/political values, nor customs, nor a priori conceptions. A constitution, he argues, is an image which exists through the legal consciousness of a community.Using..

Does the U.S. Need a Truth and Reconciliation Commission? - A Philosophical Investigation - Bok av ́, Olúfẹ, m.fl. - Inbunden

Written from the perspective of a philosopher and African immigrant, this book makes a forceful moral argument for the need for a Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) in the United States to address the long history of injustice to African-Americans.
