ISBN: 9781843844631 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 235 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In 2001, George Bush provoked global uproar by describing the nascent War on Terror as a -Crusade-. His comments, however, were welcomed by Al-Qaeda, who had long been describing Western powers in precisely the same terms, as modern Crusaders once again invading the Middle East. Ten years later in 2011, Anders Behring Breivik launched a tragic attack in Norway, killing 77 unarmed civilians, mostly teenagers. Breivik saw himself as a Templar Knight, a member of a group of knights allegedly resurrected in London in 2002 by one -Lionheart-. Later investigations suggested that the blogger,...

Remaking the Middle Ages: The Methods of Cinema and History in Portraying the Medieval World
ISBN: 9780786446247 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Proposing a fresh theoretical approach to the study of cinematic portrayals of the Middle Ages, this book uses both semiotics and historiography to demonstrate how contemporary filmmakers have attempted to recreate the past in a way that, while largely imagined, is also logical, meaningful, and as truthful as possible. Carrying out this critical approach, the author analyzes a wide range of films depicting the Middle Ages, arguing that most of these films either reflect the past through a series of visual signs (a concept he has called "iconic recreation") or by comparing the past to a modern...

Dyslexia: Developing the Debate
ISBN: 9781474233750 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Dyslexia is often presented as a clearly delineated condition that can be diagnosed on the basis of appropriate cognitive tests with corresponding forms on intervention. However, this approachable text explores the issues behind this assertion in bringing together leading figures in the field to debate dyslexia. Julian Elliott shows that understandings and usage of the dyslexia label vary substantially with little consensus or agreement and in putting forward his critique draws upon research in several disciplinary fields to demonstrate the irrationality of these arguments. Roderick I.... Dyslexia is often presented as a clearly delineated condition that can be diagnosed on the basis of appropriate cognitive tests with corresponding ... |
