At the Will of the Body
ISBN: 9780618219292 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In this deeply affecting memoir, Arthur W. Frank explores the events of illness from within: the transformation from person to patient, the pain, the wonder, and the ceremony of recovery. To illuminate what illness can teach us about life, Frank draws upon his own encounters with serious illness -- a heart attack at age thirty-nine and, a year later, a diagnosis of cancer. In poignant and clear prose, he offers brilliant insights into what happens when our bodies and emotions are pushed to extremes. Ultimately, he examines what it means to be human.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Until Relatively Recently, the history of higher education in the West was the story of a Christian academic tradition that played a major role in both intellectual history and the history of the church.

And what should we know about that tradition as a condition of practical wisdom for the...
