The Cyprus Problem: What Everyone Needs to Know®
ISBN: 9780199757152 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. For nearly 60 years--from its uprising against British rule in the 1950s, to the bloody civil war between Greek and Turkish Cypriots in the 1960s, the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in the 1970s, and the United Nation's ongoing 30-year effort to reunite the island--the tiny Mediterranean nation of Cyprus has taken a disproportionate share of the international spotlight. And while it has been often in the news, accurate and impartial information on the conflict has been nearly impossible to obtain.
In The Cyprus Problem: What Everyone Needs to Know(r), James Ker-Lindsay--recently appointed as... For nearly 60 years--from its uprising against British rule in the 1950s, to the bloody civil war between Greek and Turkish Cypriots in the 1960s, the...

America Right or Wrong: An Anatomy of American Nationalism
ISBN: 9780199897551 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Originally published over half a decade ago, Anatol Lieven's America Right or Wrong has become a classic analysis of the special character of American nationalism. As he demonstrated, America's foreign policy response to the 9/11 attacks flowed directly from a nationalistic tradition that was two centuries in the making. Within that nationalism, Lieven identified two strands. The first was the "American thesis," a civic nationalism based on the democratic values of what has been called the "American Creed." These values are held to be universal, and anyone can become an American by...

Which God? Jesus, Holy Spirit, God in Christianity and Islam
ISBN: 9780987469144 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Do we worship the same God? Today many are asking this question. In Which God? Durie demonstrates that Christians have good reasons to challenge the Islamic position that Allah of the Quran is the same as the God of the Bible. Which God? compares the God of the Bible with Allah of the Quran and shows that these are different in many respects. They have such different personalities and distinct capacities that they cannot be said to be the same. More than this, the Islamic Jesus (Isa) is different in fundamental respects from Jesus of the Gospels. Durie concludes that the concept of Abrahamic...

John von Neumann and the Origins of Modern Computing
ISBN: 9780262518857 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. John von Neumann (1903-1957) was unquestionably one of the most brilliant scientists of the twentieth century. He made major contributions to quantum mechanics and mathematical physics and in 1943 began a new and all-too-short career in computer science. William Aspray provides the first broad and detailed account of von Neumann's many different contributions to computing. These, Aspray reveals, extended far beyond his well-known work in the design and construction of computer systems to include important scientific applications, the revival of numerical analysis, and the creation of a...

Structural Engineering: A Very Short Introduction
ISBN: 9780199671939 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Have you ever wondered how it's possible to build a skyscraper, a big bridge, a jumbo jet, or a cruise liner?
Everything has structure. Structure is the difference between a random pile of components and a fully functional object. Through structure the parts connect to make the whole. Natural structures vary from the very smallest part of an atom to the entire cosmology of the universe. Man-made structures include buildings, bridges, dams, ships, aeroplanes, rockets, trains, cars and fair-ground rides and all forms of artefacts, even large artistic sculptures. The wide range of different... Have you ever wondered how it's possible to build a skyscraper, a big bridge, a jumbo jet, or a cruise liner?

Spirituality: A Very Short Introduction
ISBN: 9780199588756 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. It is a striking aspect of contemporary western culture that, alongside a decline in traditional religious affiliations, there has been a growing interest in spirituality and the use of the word in a variety of contexts. Indeed, spirituality is sometimes contrasted favorably with religion, which many people see (for good or ill) as an off-putting amalgam of dogma, moralism, institutions, buildings, and hierarchies. This Very Short Introduction, written by one of the most eminent scholars and writers on spirituality, explores the historical foundations of spirituality and considers...
