From the author of 'The Undercover Economist, ' this book applies the economics of rational choice theory to modern life. Harford explains, for example, why drug addicts and teenage muggers can be rational, why suburban sprawl and inner city decay are rational, and why the endless meetings and injustices of working life are rationalIn The Logic of Life, bestselling author Tim Harford quite simply makes sense of this world.Life often seems to defy logic. The receptionist is clearly smarter than the boss who earns fifty times her salary. Arbitrary lines starkly divide the desirable districts of the city from the dangerous ones. Voters flock to the polling booths to elect candidates who’ll rip them off to favour special interests. None of it makes logical sense — or does it?Economist and acclaimed author Tim Harford thinks it does. By weaving stories from locations as diverse as a Vegas casino to a barroom speed date, Harford aims to persuade you that people are, in fact, surprisingly logical.When a street prostitute agrees to unprotected sex, or a teenage criminal embarks on a burglary — perhaps especially when a racist employer disregards a black job applicant — we would seem to be a million miles from rational behaviour. Harford shows that, discomfitingly, we are not. It turns out that the unlikeliest of people are complying with the logic of economics and responding to future costs and benefits, often without realizing it; and socially tragic outcomes can have their roots in individually rational decisions.Brilliantly reasoned, always entertaining and often provocative, The Logic of Life is a book to help you understand yourself and the world around you.Tim Harford is the bestselling author of The Undercover Economist, and a member of the editorial board of the Financial Times, where he also writes the “Dear Economist” column. He is a regular contributor to Slate, Forbes, and NPR’s Marketplace. Hartford has been an economist at the World Bank and an economics tutor at Oxford University. He lives in London with his wife and two daughters.Titel: The Logic of LifeForfatter: Tim HarfordForlag: Abacus SoftwareUdgivelsesår: 2009Sprog: Engelsk Klik på 'Se annoncen hos forhandleren' for at se varen i vores webshop Vi sender til hele landet for 45 kr.

Indhold: Power (My mother, my daughter and me ; Curst lady: the vicissitudes of being Hillary Rodham Clinton ; Monster mommies ; Why I want to be a witch ; Blood and guts: a woman writer in the late twentieth century ; Jane Eyre's unbroken will ; Princess as icon ; Face-off at the millennium)Jong's work will last with some of the best and most original that this century has produced." —Naomi WolfFrom the bestselling author of Fear of Fifty comes a provocative, often controversial look at where women have been, where they are now, and where they are going as they approach the new millennium.Long before Camille Paglia assailed political correctness and Gloria Steinem turned introspective, Erica Jong was exploring the war between the sexes with wisdom and humor. Never predictable in her take on issues, always witty and commonsensical, Erica Jong has always been our best hope for a much-needed truce between the sexes. In this fascinating and insightful new book, she brings together the very best of her meditations on subjects ranging from Hillary Clinton to writing for love, and adds to them new writings on men, women, sex, and the secret of what women really want.Reviews:"Jong at her very best--a kind of master class in real life. . .she combines memoir and essay in a completely readable, hilariously opinionated, brilliantly well-informed book."—Susan Cheever"Jong's zesty opinions...on lovers and politicians, daughters, great writers and romantic, hidden places. She is a wise and witty guide through the morass."—Marie Brenner"The eclecticism of the collection is its real pleasure. . .nutty nuggets of politics, soft-centered personal reflections, melting confections of fantasy. . .meditations on literary themes and tributes to favorite authors."—The Wall Street Journal"Jong's work will last with some of the best and most original that this century has produced. She treats her work as a sacred calling...rather than a career move. For this reason she will continue to enrage her contemporaries and she is sure to outlast them."—Naomi WolfTitel: What do women want? : power, sex, bread & rosesForfatter: Erica JongForlag: BloomsburyUdgivelsesår: 2000Sider: 202Sprog: Engelsksøgeord kønspolitik køn feminisme ligestilling Klik på 'Se annoncen hos forhandleren' for at se varen i vores webshop Vi sender til hele landet for 45 kr.

Forfatter: Jane Kramer Allen Ginsberg came to national attention when his poem "Howl" was the subject of a San Francisco obscenity trial in 1956. Since then, millions of copies of the poem have been read on college campuses and elsewhere all over America. His powerful imagination, political agitation, and magnetic charisma have made him a symbol of the cultural transformation of the past fifty years. Jane Kramer's book is an incisive and passionately human portrayal of Ginsberg's world and the people in it, whirling across America from San Francisco to Midwest college towns, from New York's East Village to California be-ins. Since his passing in 1997, Ginsberg has come to be recognized as a key figure in the American literary pantheon.

His famous dictionary, upon which A Concise Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English is based, was first published in 1937 and is now in its eighth edition. In preparing this concise edition, Paul Beale has continued the traditions of the full volume while making it particularly relevant to our understanding of the language of the present day. Terms which are known to have arisen before this century have been omitted they are fully documented both in A Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English and in the Routledge Dictionary of Historical Stang. In return, some 1,500 new terms have been added coinages of the 1980s which had not yet tome to light when the complete edition went to press in 1983. Our language moves on apace, and the Concise Dictionary of Stang presents a reflection of its state as we go further inro the 1990s. Like its parent volume, it gives a fascinating account of the vivid, racy and informal elements of our language. It documents the living history of English and the social history of the twentieth century - and it will also provide hours of amusement for the less serious-minded browser.

It is the most famous military installation in the world. And it doesn't exist. Located a mere seventy-five miles outside of Las Vegas in Nevada's desert, the base has never been acknowledged by the U.S. government-but Area 51 has captivated imaginations for decades. Myths and hypotheses about Area 51 have long abounded, thanks to the intense secrecy enveloping it. Some claim it is home to aliens, underground tunnel systems, and nuclear facilities. Others believe that the lunar landing itself was filmed there. The prevalence of these rumors stems from the fact that no credible insider has ever divulged the truth about his time inside the base. Until now. Annie Jacobsen had exclusive access to nineteen men who served the base proudly and secretly for decades and are now aged 75-92, and unprecedented access to fifty-five additional military and intelligence personnel, scientists, pilots, and engineers linked to the secret base, thirty-two of whom lived and worked there for extended periods. In Area 51, Jacobsen shows us what has really gone on in the Nevada desert, from testing nuclear weapons to building super-secret, supersonic jets to pursuing the War on Terror. This is the first book based on interviews with eye witnesses to Area 51 history, which makes it the seminal work on the subject. Filled with formerly classified information that has never been accurately decoded for the public, Area 51 weaves the mysterious activities of the top-secret base into a gripping narrative, showing that facts are often more fantastic than fiction, especially when the distinction is almost impossible to make.
