George Perkins Marsh: Prophet of Conservation
ISBN: 9780295983158 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 632 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. George Perkins Marsh (1801-1882) was the first to reveal the menace of environmental misuse, to explain its causes, and to prescribe reforms. David Lowenthal here offers fresh insights, from new sources, into Marsh's career and shows his relevance today, in a book which has its roots in but wholly supersedes Lowenthal's earlier biography George Perkins Marsh: Versatile Vermonter (1958). Marsh's devotion to the repair of nature, to the concerns of working people, to women's rights, and to historical stewardship resonate more than ever. His Vermont birthplace is now a national...

The Past Is a Foreign Country - Revisited
ISBN: 9780521616850 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 676 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The past remains essential - and inescapable. A quarter-century after the publication of his classic account of man's attitudes to his past, David Lowenthal revisits how we celebrate, expunge, contest and domesticate the past to serve present needs. He shows how nostalgia and heritage now pervade every facet of public and popular culture. History embraces nature and the cosmos as well as humanity. The past is seen and touched and tasted and smelt as well as heard and read about. Empathy, re-enactment, memory and commemoration overwhelm traditional history. A unified past once certified by...

The Mind and Art of Abraham Lincoln, Philosopher Statesman: Texts and Interpretations of Twenty Great Speeches
ISBN: 9780739171257 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. By analyzing many of Lincoln's most important speeches, The Mind and Art of Abraham Lincoln, Philosopher Statesman shows him to be a profound and systematic thinker who tries to get at the root of issues, not all of them strictly political. Lowenthal emphasizes Lincoln's manner of writing, which enables him to conceal his most radical thoughts, and pays special attention to the reasoning and artfulness with which he treats a wide variety of subjects. The book follows Lincoln from his Perpetuation or Lyceum address in 1838 to his last speech just after Lee's surrender, as he confronts the...

The Heritage Crusade and the Spoils of History
ISBN: 9780521635622 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 358 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Heritage, while it often constitutes and defines the most positive aspects of culture, is a malleable body of historical text subject to interpretation and easily twisted into myth. When it is appealed to on a national or ethnic level in reactions against racial, religious, or economic oppression, the result is often highly-charged political contention or conflict. The extraordinary theme of this unique book is how the rise of a manifold, crusade-like obsession with tradition and inheritance--both physical and cultural--can lead to either good or evil. In a balanced account of the pros and...

The Nature of Cultural Heritage, and the Culture of Natural Heritage
ISBN: 9781138976825 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 100 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The idea that the heritage of nature is fundamentally cultural is provocative to many, but it is becoming increasingly accepted in the context of heritage preservation. It is argued here that a person's perspective on natural vs. cultural heritage as a contested patrimony is, to some extent, governed by one's intellectual and geographical position. In discourses influenced by the natural sciences culture is a heritage of nature, whereas in those deriving from the humanities and social sciences, nature is defined socio-culturally. There is also, however, a geographical dimension to...

Dance of Death: The Life of John Fahey, American Guitarist
ISBN: 9781613738795 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. John Fahey is to the solo acoustic guitar what Jimi Hendrix was to the electric: the man whom all subsequent musicians had to listen to. Fahey made more than 40 albums between 1959 and his death in 2001, most of them featuring only his solo steel-string guitar. He fused elements of folk, blues, and experimental composition, taking familiar American sounds and recontextualizing them as something entirely new. Yet despite his stature as a groundbreaking visionary, Fahey's intentions--as a man and as an artist--remain largely unexamined. Journalist Steve Lowenthal has spent years researching...

ISBN: 9780415095549 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The main aim of this work is to demonstrate the inadequacy of a history that is always written by the winners. It draws on original studies from Africa, North America, Australia and the Pacific in order to make the point, and also emphasizes that archaeology has a crucial role to play in promoting a more balanced, eclectic approach to the past.

Deep Millimeter Surveys: Implications for Galaxy Formation and Evolution
ISBN: 9789810244651 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The arrival of large submillimeter and millimeter-wave detector arrays opened a new window on galaxy formation and evolution. The major new facilities now being designed or constructed, such as ALMA (MMA) and the Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT), will soon be expanding the horizons even farther.
The Conference on "Deep Millimeter Surveys: Implications for Galaxy Formation and Evolution" drew together the major international groups working on submillimeter and millimeter-wave galaxies to discuss their relation to other galaxies both near by and in the early Universe, the role of the LMT and...

The Paradox of Preservation: Wilderness and Working Landscapes at Point Reyes National Seashore
ISBN: 9780520277083 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Point Reyes National Seashore has a long history as a working landscape, with dairy and beef ranching, fishing, and oyster farming; yet, since 1962 it has also been managed as a National Seashore. The Paradox of Preservation chronicles how national ideals about what a park "ought to be" have developed over time and what happens when these ideals are implemented by the National Park Service (NPS) in its efforts to preserve places that are also lived-in landscapes. Using the conflict surrounding the closure of the Drakes Bay Oyster Company, Laura Alice Watt examines how NPS management...

Considerations on the Causes of the Greatness of the Romans and their Decline

"Republication of David Lowenthal's elegant translation of Montesquieu's neglected study of the Romans--an indispensable source for understanding the philosopher's treatment of Rome in The Spirit of the Laws--makes the book available to a new generation of English-language readers. Lowenthal's perceptive introduction and useful notes also deserve the attention of those who can read Montesquieu in the original French." --James W. Muller, University of Alaska, Anchorage
