What distinguishes laws of nature from ordinary facts? What are the "lawmakers": the facts in virtue of which the laws are laws? How can laws be necessary, yet contingent? Lange provocatively argues that laws are distinguished by their necessity, which is grounded in primitive subjunctive facts, while also providing a non-technical and accessible survey of the field.

Not all scientific explanations work by describing causal connections between events or the world's overall causal structure. In addition, mathematicians regard some proofs as explaining why the theorems being proved do in fact hold. This book proposes new philosophical accounts of many kinds of non-causal explanations in science and mathematics.

This book combines physics, philosophy, and history in a radical new approach to introducing the philosophy of physics. It leads the reader through several central problems in the philosophy of physics by tracing their connections to a single issue: whether a cause must be spatiotemporally local to its effect, or whether action at a distance can occur

Die On Air Promotion hat als klassische Eigenwerbung in der TV-Branche ihren Stellenwert in der Wertschöpfungskette gefunden. Sie soll die Zuschauer motivieren die beworbene Sendung einzuschalten, um so die Quote zu steigern. In Anbetracht des zunehmend stärkeren Wettbewerbs im Fernsehmarkt, bei gleichzeitig sinkenden Werbeeinnahmen, spielt die On Air Promotion somit eine immer wichtigere Rolle in Bezug auf die Wirtschaftlichkeit eines TV-Sen...
