ISBN: 9780252037610 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Rooting for the Home Team examines how various American communities create and maintain a sense of collective identity through sports. Looking at large cities such as Chicago, Baltimore, and Los Angeles as well as small rural towns, suburbs, and college towns, the contributors consider the idea that rooting for local athletes and home teams often symbolizes a community's preferred understanding of itself, and that doing so is an expression of connectedness, public pride and pleasure, and personal identity.Some of the wide-ranging essays point out that financial interests also play a...

Thomas Jefferson: Lawyer, Architect, Planter, Statesman, Father of Liberty Thomas Jefferson grew up on his father's ranch in Western Virginia. He came from a family that owned slaves, was wealthy and had a rich history in agriculture. His paternal links were equally wealthier, with his mother coming from a line of one of the most aristocratic families in the history of the land. The affluence from whence he was brought up however, did not blind his vision. From an early age, he had his work cut out, championing for the rights of the oppressed. We follow his journey through life, highlighting...

Saying It's So: A Cultural History of the Black Sox Scandal
ISBN: 9780252073137 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The story of "Shoeless" Joe Jackson and his teammates purportedly conspiring with gamblers to throw the World Series to the Cincinnati Reds has lingered in our collective consciousness for more than eighty years. With baseball so closely linked to American values and ideals, the Black Sox Scandal of 1919 disenchanted baseball fans, changed the way Americans felt about the national pastime, and fostered changes in the game.
Daniel A. Nathan's wide-ranging, interdisciplinary cultural history is less concerned with the details of the scandal than with how it has been represented and remembered...

For Eric, Tasha, John, and their friends, a hiking trip to the mountains represents one last chance to relax, free from parents and teachers, before high school begins. But something goes terribly wrong when, as a group, they all suddenly lose consciousness. The teens awake to a reality that is almost, but not quite, like their own. It's as if a second world overlaps their once familiar surroundings...one in which all electronic devices are dead and the usual sounds of wildlife are completely gone. Then they come-creatures that leave the group with no doubt that their world has...

City of Starlings
ISBN: 9781937420864 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 86 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The world of Daniel Nathan Terry's City of Starlings, which is our world, is "disastrously beautiful." That's how he describes a camellia blooming beside a condemned house just across the street. Indeed it is that nearness-the proximity of beauty and loss-that drives this book. A puppy (named Lucky) discovered nuzzled up beside his car-crushed brother, or the light limning a white egret at the very moment a friend's child is stillborn. In a book filled with birds, it is the dogs that remind us to look down, not up, to be now, not then, to take the world in our mouths and make it part of us....

A Thousand Hands: A Guidebook to Caring for Your Buddhist Community
ISBN: 9781896559315 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. A Thousand Hands is an anthology of 50 articles by Buddhist chaplains, teachers, therapists, and social workers, presenting Buddhist approaches and resources designed to help community leaders respond to the many challenges brought to them by their communities. As a Buddhist community leader--or even a concerned community member--we may have read many sutras, practiced thousands of hours of meditation, or become well versed in Buddhist philosophy, but that does not prepare us for every situation we will face. It is very natural that people turn to a spiritual or... A Thousand Hands is an anthology of 50 articles by Buddhist chaplains, teachers, therapists, and social workers, presenting Buddhi... |
