Flower Drum Songs: The Story of Two Musicals
ISBN: 9780786422463 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The return to New York in 2002 of Rodgers and Hammerstein's Flower Drum Song--with a totally new book by playwright David Henry Hwang--was considered the most revolutionary chapter in the history of Broadway revivals. Why? The musical, a clear hit when it was originally produced in 1958, had later acquired a debatable reputation for quaint, racially offensive Asian stereotypes. Yet Hwang's controversial rewrite--driven at least in part by concerns about such offenses--was a box-office failure. Drawing upon fresh interviews with members of both the original and the revival casts, whose...

ISBN: 9780631224969 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book is a defense of modal realism; the thesis that our world is but one of a plurality of worlds, and that the individuals that inhabit our world are only a few out of all the inhabitants of all the worlds.

After the toppling of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan the important but overlooked former Soviet states of Central Asia became for a brief time key players in the US-led war on terror.

Policy and Planning as Public Choice: Mass Transit in the United States
ISBN: 9781138334816 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. First published in 1999, this book applies formal economic measures to the passenger and taxpayer benefits of public transit service in the United States under a public choice analytical framework. Approximately 400 local transit budgets have been renewed annually for more than 25 years. These budgets epitomize Braybrooke and Linblom’s concept of 'disjointed incrementalism' and Buchanan’s concept of 'Public Choice' since local legislators funded transit despite constant academic criticism of transit performance. On the other hand, Braybrooke and Lindblom and Buchanan show that local...

The Unseen Face of Japan
ISBN: 9781908860033 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The things which are right in front of us can often be the things which are most hidden. In Japan, the word omote means 'face'. But it also means 'mask' - something that a person uses to hide an inner reality. Face-value questions - 'Are the Japanese religious?' 'What do they believe?' - produce face-value answers. We need to delve deeper. This book explores the motivations behind why Japanese people act in a 'religious' way, based on what ordinary people say about their attitudes and experiences. In the process it also uncovers core values within Japanese culture. By understanding these...
