Lucrecia the Dreamer: Prophecy, Cognitive Science, and the Spanish Inquisition
ISBN: 9781503603868 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Set in late 16th-century Spain, this book tells the gripping story of Lucrecia de Leon, a young woman of modest background who gained a dangerously popular reputation as a prophetic dreamer predicting apocalyptic ruin for her country. When Lucrecia was still a teenager, several Catholic priests took great interest in her prolific dreams and began to record them in detail. But the growing public attention to the dreams eventually became too much for the Spanish king. Stung that Lucrecia had accurately foreseen the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588, Philip II ordered the Inquisition to...

Not Only a Father
ISBN: 9781468091373 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The God of the Bible is not a member of any class of comparable beings. Beyond and other than all gods and every creature, God is not gendered. However, Christian language for God and the pictures we use to help us talk about God are predominantly male. Among the pictures one of the most often used and appreciated is 'father'. Yet God (unlike many of the gods of the ancient world) is not only a father. The Bible and the early Christian theologians used motherly as well as fatherly language and pictures to speak of God. In this way at least their image of God was richer and deeper than ours ...

Big Dreams: The Science of Dreaming and the Origins of Religion
ISBN: 9780199351534 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Big dreams are rare but highly memorable dream experiences that make a strong and lasting impact on the dreamer's waking awareness. Moving far beyond "I forgot to study and the finals are today" and other common scenarios, such dreams can include vivid imagery, intense emotions, fantastic characters, and an uncanny sense of being connected to forces beyond one's ordinary dreaming mind. In Big Dreams, Kelly Bulkeley provides the first full-scale cognitive scientific analysis of such dreams, putting forth an original theory about their formation, function, and meaning. Big dreams...

The Historiography of the First Russian Antarctic Expedition, 1819-21
ISBN: 9783030595487 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book looks at the different ways in which Russian historians and authors have thought about their country’s first Antarctic expedition (1819-21) over the past 200 years. It considers the effects their discussions have had on Russia’s Antarctic policy and may yet have on Antarctica itself. In particular, it examines the Soviet decision in 1949, in line with the cultural policies of late Stalinism, to revise the traditional view of the expedition in order to claim that it was Russian seamen that first sighted the Antarctic mainland in January 1820; this claim remains...

Cities and Low Carbon Transitions
ISBN: 9780415814751 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Current societies face unprecedented risks and challenges connected to climate change. Addressing them will require fundamental transformations in the infrastructures that sustain everyday life, such as energy, water, waste and mobility. A transition to a 'low carbon' future implies a large scale reorganisation in the way societies produce and use energy. Cities are critical in this transition because they concentrate social and economic activities that produce climate change related emissions. At the same time, cities are increasingly recognised as sources of opportunities for climate change...
