Colonial Urban Development: Culture, Social Power and Environment
ISBN: 9780415611664 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Study focuses on the social and, more especially, the cultural processes governing colonial urban development and develops a theory and methodology to do this. The author demonstrates how the physical and spatial arrangements characterizing urban development are unique products of a particular society, to be understood only in terms of its values, behaviour and institutions and the distribution of social and political power within it. Nowhere is this more apparent than in 'colonial cities' of Asia and Africa where the environmental assumptions of a dominant, industrializing Western power...

The Transformation of Europe's Armed Forces: From the Rhine to Afghanistan
ISBN: 9781107647688 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. As a result of new strategic threats, Europe's land forces are currently undergoing a historic transformation which may reflect wider processes of European integration. Europe's mass, mainly conscript armies are being replaced by smaller, more capable, professionalised militaries concentrated into new operational headquarters and rapid reaction brigades, able to plan, command and execute global military interventions. At the same time, these headquarters and brigades are co-operating with each other across national borders at a level which would have been inconceivable in the twentieth...

The Structure of Social Theory
ISBN: 9780415652063 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Drawing on the work of Gadamer, the book demonstrates that a sociology which focuses on social relations does not imply a return to idealism, nor a retreat into individualism, nor a rejection of critique. Rather, a hermeneutic sociology which prioritises human social relations is the only coherent paradigm which is available today. The author argues that sociologists studying the dramatic social transformations which are currently occuring should focus on social relations between humans; they should not attempt to understand contemporary changes in terms of structure and agency.

Leaders' Personalities, and the Outcomes of Democratic Elections
ISBN: 9780198297918 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This unique edited volume by some of the leading scholars in the field, examines the importance, or non-importance, of the personalities of political leaders in determining the outcomes of democratic elections. The book argues, contrary to conventional wisdom, that relatively few voters are swayed by candidates' personal characteristics. Their findings imply that modern democratic pointers is not nearly as candidate-cent red and personality-orientated as is often supposed. They also suggest that parties' policies and their performance in office usually count for far more than the men and...

The British Constitution
ISBN: 9780199576982 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the latter part of the nineteenth century Walter Bagehot wrote a classic account of the British constitution as it had developed during Queen Victoria's reign. He argued that the late Victorian constitution was not at all what people thought it was. Anthony King argues that the same is true at the beginning of this century. Most people are aware that a series of major constitutional changes has taken place, but few recognize that their cumulative effect has been to change entirely the nature of Britain's constitutional structure. The old constitution has gone. The author insists that the...

The Combat Soldier: Infantry Tactics and Cohesion in the Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries
ISBN: 9780199658848 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 560 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. How do small groups of combat soldiers maintain their cohesion under fire? This question has long intrigued social scientists, military historians, and philosophers. Based on extensive research and drawing on graphic analysis of close quarter combat from the Somme to Sangin, the book puts forward a novel and challenging answer to this question. Against the common presumption of the virtues of the citizen soldier, this book claims that, in fact, the infantry platoon of the mass twentieth century army typically performed poorly and demonstrated low levels of cohesion in combat. With inadequate...
