Archie Brown, "The Human Factor: Gorbachev, Reagan, and Thatcher, and the End of the Cold War"
English | 2020 | pages: 512 | ISBN: 0190614897 | EPUB | 3,1 mb
In this penetrating analysis of the role of political leadership in the Cold War's ending, Archie Brown shows why the popular view that Western economic and military strength left the Soviet Union with no alternative but to admit defeat is wrong. To understand the significance of the parts played by Mikhail Gorbachev, Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher in East-West relations in the second half of the 1980s, Brown addresses several specific questions: What were the values and assumptions of these leaders, and how did their perceptions evolve? What were the major influences on them? To what extent were they reflecting the views of their own political establishment or challenging them? How important for ending the East-West standoff were their interrelations? Would any of the realistically alternative leaders of their countries at that time have pursued approximately the same policies?

The complicated anatomy of the brain can often be more easily appreciated and understood in relation to its development.

Ann P. Kinzig, Stephen Pacala, David Tilman, "The Functional Consequences of Biodiversity: Empirical Progress and Theoretical Extensions."
English | 2001 | pages: 387 | ISBN: 0691088225, 0691088217 | PDF | 1,2 mb
Does biodiversity influence how ecosystems function? Might diversity loss affect the ability of ecosystems to deliver services of benefit to humankind? Ecosystems provide food, fuel, fiber, and drinkable water, regulate local and regional climate, and recycle needed nutrients, among other things. An ecosyste's ability to sustain functioning may depend on the number of species residing in the ecosystem-its biological diversity-but this has been a controversial hypothesis. There are many unanswered questions about how and why changes in biodiversity could alter ecosystem functioning. This volume, written by top researchers, synthesizes empirical studies on the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning and extends that knowledge using a novel and coordinated set of models and theoretical approaches.
