ISBN: 9781783265329 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

Chemistry in Theatre: Insufficiency, Phallacy or Both
ISBN: 9781848169388 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book examines the questions “What can science do for the theatre?” and “What can the theatre do for science?” which raise challenges for both theatre professionals and scientists. Unusually, this book deals with plays first and foremost as reading material — as texts to be read alone or in dramatic readings — rather than emphasizing performances on the stage. Concrete examples are given to demonstrate the potential pedagogic value of using the dialogic style and plot structure of plays in science, with a special focus on chemistry.Very few books...

One of the most challenging issues of the 21st century is the impending separation of sex (in bed) and reproduction (under the microscope) as a result of recent advances in contraception and assisted reproduction.
