A Historical Geography of China
ISBN: 9780202362007 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Chinese earth is pervasively humanized through long occupation. Signs of man's presence vary from the obvious to the extremely subtle. The building of roads, bridges, dams, and factories, and the consolidation of farm holdings alter the Chinese landscape and these alterations seem all the more conspicuous because they introduce features that are not distinctively Chinese. In contrast, traditional forms and architectural relics escape our attention because they are so identified with the Chinese scene that they appear to be almost outgrowths of nature. Describing the natural order of human...

ISBN: 9780816638772 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A study of the ways in which people feel and think about space, how they form attachments to home, neighborhood, and nation, and how feelings about space and place are affected by the sense of time."Since it is the breadth and universality of his argument that concerns Yi-Fu Tuan, experience is defined as 'all the modes by which a person knows and constructs reality, ' and examples are taken with equal ease from non-literate cultures, from ancient and modern oriental and western civilizations, from novels, poetry, anthropology, psychology, and theology. The result is a remarkable synthesis,...

ISBN: 9780300102086 / Angielski / Miękka / 1984 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "(Tuan) does a masterful job exploring the condescending human treatment of animals as 'playthings' that exist only for our entertainment. He charts the malevolent history of male domination over women and children and the sad chronicle of slaves, dwarfs and other 'freaks' treated as human appliances or toys. This provocative study of power in the world of pleasure, play and art is a tour de force." -Cultural Information Service "A brilliant book that will appeal to a wide audience. The volume provides excellent material for school and college seminar debates on humankind's place in nature...

Romantic Geography: In Search of the Sublime Landscape
ISBN: 9780299296803 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Geography is useful, indeed necessary, to survival. Everyone must know where to find food, water, and a place of rest, and, in the modern world, all must make an effort to make the Earth--our home--habitable. But much present-day geography lacks drama, with its maps and statistics, descriptions and analysis, but no acts of chivalry, no sense of quest. Not long ago, however, geography was romantic. Heroic explorers ventured to forbidding environments--oceans, mountains, forests, caves, deserts, polar ice caps--to test their power of endurance for reasons they couldn't fully articulate. Why...

Regression with Incomplete Information and Sensing Actions
ISBN: 9783838335452 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this book the 0-approximation semantics is used to define regression in domains where an agent does not have complete information about the world, and may have sensing actions. The author started with domains having only Boolean fluents and formally related the definition of regression with the earlier definition of progression . Planning using such regression would not only give correct plans but also would not miss plans. A search algorithm for generating conditional plans was presented as an example application of the defined regression. Several heuristics and mutex computations were...

Cosmos and Hearth: A Cosmopolite's Viewpoint
ISBN: 9780816627318 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In a volume that represents the culmination of his life's work in considering the relationship between culture and landscape, eminent scholar Yi-Fu Tuan argues that "cosmos" and "hearth" are two scales that anchor what it means to be fully and happily human. Illustrating this contention with examples from both his native China and his home of the past forty years, the United States, Tuan proposes a revised conception of culture, one thoroughly grounded in one's own society but also embracing curiosity about the world. Optimistic and deeply human, this important volume lays out a path to being...

who killed pink swallow?
ISBN: 9781452802831 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. PINK SWALLOW was at the apex of her career as a singer and living in America, the country of her dreams, when she was murdered. Her life story was laid bare in public after she died. When the Communists took over the South in 1975, she went from a pampered daughter of a South Vietnamese general and a beautiful young star to a homeless person with an assumed identity, a prostitute, a "little wife" - concubine - of a high-ranking cadre, and finally back to being a popular singer. She had been among thousands of boat people who repeatedly failed in their escape from Vietnam. America had always...

Topophilia: A Study of Environmental Perceptions, Attitudes, and Values
ISBN: 9780231073950 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. What are the links between environment and world view? Topophilia, the affective bond between people and place, is the primary theme of this book that examines environmental perceptions and values at different levels: the species, the group, and the individual.

Human Goodness
ISBN: 9780299226701 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In his many best-selling books, Yi-Fu Tuan seizes big, metaphysical issues and considers them in uniquely accessible ways. Human Goodness is evidence of this talent and is both as simple, and as epic, as it sounds. Genuinely good people and their actions, Tuan contends, are far from boring, naive, and trite; they are complex, varied, and enormously exciting. In a refreshing antidote to skeptical times, he writes of ordinary human courtesies, as simple as busing your dishes after eating, that make society functional and livable. And he writes of extraordinary courage and inventiveness...
