The Company
A Short History of a Revolutionary Idea (Modern Library Chronicles)
John Micklethwait - 2005-01-11 (publicado por primera vez en 2003)
Calificación de Goodreads
Explore the power and influence of companies in modern society with this groundbreaking book. Written by John Micklethwait and Adrian Wooldridge, it charts the rise of companies as one of history's greatest catalysts for good and evil. Discover how innovations such as limitations on liability have allowed companies to rival religions and states, controlling wealth and human affairs with surprising exemption from governing rules. A "fast-paced and well-written" work, this book offers rare insight into the past four centuries and helps make sense of today's world.

La conciencia explicada / Consciousness Explained book cover
La conciencia explicada / Consciousness Explained
Daniel C. Dennett - 1991-01-01
Calificación de Goodreads
Detallada investigacion sobre la conciencia humana, el presente libro, uno de los mas originales ensayos de los ultimos tiempos, refuta la teoria tradicional de la conciencia basada en el sentido comun y presenta un nuevo modelo fundamentado en una ingente cantidad de datos, tomados a su vez de campos tan diversos como la neurociencia, la psicologia, la filosofia y la inteligencia articifial. La vision de Dennett sobre el tema, asi, es antiintuitiva pero convincente, y, como en toda teoria revolucionaria, su fuerza y su capacidad para sorprender aparecen intimamente relacionadas. El resultado es un util y accesible recorrido por el campo de la filosofia de la mente a partir del cual nuestras actuales teorias sobre la vida consciente de las personas, de los animales e incluso de los robots puede que se vean profundamente afectadas por nuevas y fascinantes perspectivas. Sin duda uno de los mejores ejemplos de libro cientifico dirigido tanto a profesionales como a lectores no especializados, La conciencia explicada constituye finalmente un trabajo filosofico de la mejor especie: sencillo, pero sin caer en la trivialidad; bien documentado, pero sin abrumar con un exceso de informacion. Como ha dicho Howard Gardner, una notable reflexion sobre la concienciab& a cargo de uno de nuestros mas sobresalientes pensadores .

Why Does College Cost So Much? book cover
Why Does College Cost So Much?
Robert B. Archibald - 2010-11-17
Calificación de Goodreads
This book looks at the rising cost of college education in the US and challenges the common belief that it's due to dysfunctional behavior in the industry. Instead, the authors argue that it's a result of economic growth and changing wage structures. While acknowledging the problem of affordability, they explore policies that can preserve the quality of education while increasing access for all.
