We in the West are living in the midst of a deadly culture war. Our rival worldviews clash with increasing violence in the public arena, culminating in deadly riots and mass shootings. A fragmented left now confronts a resurgent and reactionary right, which threatens to reverse decades of social progress. Commentators have declared that we live in a "post-truth world," one dominated by online trolls and conspiracy theorists. How did we arrive at this cultural crisis? How do we respond?
This book speaks to this critical moment through a new reading of the thought of Alasdair MacIntyre. Over thirty years ago, MacIntyre predicted the coming of a new Dark Ages. The premise of this book is that MacIntyre was right all along. It presents his diagnosis of our cultural
Adelle Blackett tells the story behind the International Labour Organization's (ILO) Decent Work for Domestic Workers Convention No. 189, and its accompanying Recommendation No. 201 which in 2011 created the first comprehensive international standards to extend fundamental protections and rights to the millions of domestic workers laboring in other peoples' homes throughout the world. As the principal legal architect, Blackett is able to take us behind the scenes to show us how Convention No. 189 transgresses the everyday law of the household workplace to embrace domestic workers' human rights claim to be both workers like any other, and workers like no other. In doing so, she discusses the importance of understanding historical forms of invisibility, recognizes the

Describes in one volume the data received during experiments on detonation in high explosive charges
This book brings together, in one volume, information normally covered in a series of journal articles on high explosive detonation tests, so that developers can create new explosive technologies. It focuses on the charges that contain inert elements made of materials in which a sound velocity is significantly higher than a detonation velocity. It also summarizes the results of experimental, numerical, and theoretical investigations of explosion systems, which contain high modulus ceramic components. The phenomena occurring in such systems are described in detail: desensitization of high explosives, nonstationary detonation processes, energy focusing, and Mach stems

Obecne wydanie podręcznika zostało zmienione i dostosowane do przepisów Farmakopei Polskiej VI, a w konsekwencji definicje, opisane metody badań i wymagania są w znacznym stopniu zgodne z obowiązującymi w Unii Europejskiej. Zachowano dotychczasowy układ podręcznika, zmieniono jednak treść kilku rozdziałów. Dotyczy to przede wszystkim szczegółowego opisu otrzymywania określonych preparatów, aspektów biofarmaceutycznych, a więc postaci leku gwarantującej oczekiwane przez klinicystów jego działanie w określonym czasie i miejscu.
Jest to podstawowy podręcznik dla studentów farmacji. Zainteresuje z pewnością wszystkie osoby związane zawodowo z lekiem na różnych etapach jego wytwarzania i oceny.
