A New Generation of African Writers: Migration, Material Culture & Language
ISBN: 9781847010766 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. There is a growing interest in books by writers of African origin.

ISBN: 9781847010957 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Knowledge production is a highly political and politicized practice. This book questions the way in which knowledge of and about Africa is produced and how this influences development policy and practice.

In the first part of the book key conceptual themes are raised and the epistemological foundations are laid through...

The plan had been to un-man the battlespace, replacing flesh and blood with steel and carbon fiber. Machines, both remote-controlled and autonomous A.I.s, would fight and be destroyed in the name of freedom; sparing the troops at the cost of the nation's treasure. However, as with any arms race, the opposing side's technology eventually catches ups to yours, resulting in the need to put lives back in harm's way on the frontline; to deal with, and adapt to the unknown, as only humans can. With stories by Brenda Cooper, Bud Sparhawk, Jennifer Brozek, Ronald T. Garner, Aaron... The plan had been to un-man the battlespace, replacing flesh and blood with steel and carbon fiber.
