ISBN: 9781474412124 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. Were they simply bystanders, victims of collateral damage who played a passive role in its history? Furthermore, how have they negotiated their position throughout various periods of Iraq's state-building processes? This book details a narrative of Iraq in the twentieth century and refashions the Assyrian experience as an integral part of Iraq's broader contemporary historiography. It is the first comprehensive account to contextualize a native experience alongside the emerging state.

Responsible Citizens, Irresponsible States: Should Citizens Pay for Their States' Wrongdoings?
ISBN: 9780197541036 / Angielski / Twarda / 2021 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. States are often held responsible for their wrongdoings. States pay compensation for their unjust wars, as did Iraq in the aftermath of its invasion of Kuwait. States pay reparations for their historical wrongdoings, as did Chile to the victims of the Pinochet Regime, or Germany to Israel and other countries because of the Holocaust. Some argue that they should pay punitive damages for their international crimes as well. But state responsibility has a troubling feature: states are corporate agents, comprising flesh and blood citizens. When they turn to the public purse to finance their...

The Victorian Baby in Print: Infancy, Infant Care, and Nineteenth-Century Popular Culture
ISBN: 9780198858010 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Victorian Baby in Print: Infancy, Infant Care, and Nineteenth-Century Popular Culture explores the representation of babyhood in Victorian Britain. The first study to focus exclusively on the baby in nineteenth-century literature and culture, this critical analysis discusses the changing roles of an iconic figure. A close look at the wide-ranging portrayal of infants and infant care not only reveals how divergent and often contradictory Victorian attitudes to infancy really were, but also challenges persistent cliches surrounding the literary baby that emerged or were consolidated at the...

Lithic Studies: Anatolia and Beyond
ISBN: 9781789699265 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Lithic Studies: Anatolia and Beyond aims to show networks of cultural interactions by focusing on the latest lithic studies from Turkey, Greece, and the Balkans, bringing to the forefront the connectedness and techno-cultural continuity of knapped and ground stone technologies. Lithic studies are mostly conducted on a site by site basis, and specialist studies on lithics tend to focus primarily on technology and typology. As a result, information acquired through lithic research is presented as the identifier of the particular site with the addition of brief local correlations. This creates...

The Right of Sovereignty: Jean Bodin on the Sovereign State and the Law of Nations
ISBN: 9780198755531 / Angielski / Twarda / 2021 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Sovereignty is the vital organizing principle of modern international law. This book examines the origins of that principle in the legal and political thought of its most influential theorist, Jean Bodin (1529/30-1596). As the author argues in this study, Bodin's most lasting theoretical contribution was his thesis that sovereignty must be conceptualized as an indivisible bundle of legal rights constitutive of statehood. While these uniform 'rights of sovereignty' licensed all states to exercise numerous exclusive powers, including the absolute power to 'absolve' and release its citizens...

Hadith: Origins and Developments
ISBN: 9781138247796 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Hadith is understood here in its broader meaning as the bulk of the texts which contain information on the prophet Muhammad and his Companions, having the form of transmissions from them. The reliability of this material as a source for early Islam is still a highly debated issue. This selection of articles presents the different points of view in this debate and the varying methodological approaches with which scholars trained in modern secular sciences have tried to find a solution to the problem.

The Ptolemaic period in Egypt (332-30 BC) is one of the most well-documented periods of the Hellenistic age: in addition to the papyrological record there are more than 600 surviving Greek and Greek/Egyptian bilingual and trilingual inscriptions, ranging from massive public monuments, such as the Rosetta Stone, to small private dedications, funerary plaques, and metrical epigrams for the deceased.

Liberal Nationalism and Its Critics: Normative and Empirical Questions
ISBN: 9780198842545 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The thesis of liberal nationalism is that national identities can serve as a source of unity in culturally diverse liberal societies, thereby lending support to democracy and social justice. The chapters in this book examine that thesis from both normative and empirical perspectives, in the latter case using survey data or psychological experiments from the U.S., Canada, the Netherlands, Denmark, France, and the UK. They explore how people understand what it means to belong to their nation, and show that different aspects of national attachment - national identity, national pride, and...

Beyond Greece and Rome: Reading the Ancient Near East in Early Modern Europe
ISBN: 9780198767114 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Though the subject of classical reception in early modern Europe is a familiar one, modern scholarship has tended to assume the dominance of Greece and Rome in engagements with the classical world during that period. The essays in this volume aim to challenge this prevailing view by arguing for the significance and familiarity of the ancient near east to early modern Europe, establishing the diversity and expansiveness of the classical world known to authors like Shakespeare and Montaigne in what we now call the 'global Renaissance'. However, global Renaissance studies has tended to look...

Constituent Power and the Law
ISBN: 9780198785989 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Constituent power is the power to create new constitutions. Since it is frequently exercised during or after political revolutions, it has been historically associated with extra-legality and violations of the established legal order. This book examines the relationship between constituent power and the law and the place of constituent power in constitutional history, focusing on the legal and institutional implications that theorists, politicians, and judges have derived from it. Since the 18th and 19th centuries, commentators and citizens have relied on the concept of constituent power...
