Art and Enlightenment: Aesthetic Theory After Adorno
ISBN: 9780803290105 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The crisis of tradition early in the twentieth century-signaled by the collapse of perspective in painting and tonality in music and evident in the explosive ferment of the avant-garde movements-opened a new stage of modern art, which aesthetic theory is still struggling to comprehend. David Roberts situates the current aesthetic and cultural debates in a wider historical frame which extends from Hegel and the German Romantics to Lukacs and Adorno, Benjamin and Baudrillard. Art and Enlightenment: Aesthetic Theory after Adorno is the first detailed analysis in English of Theodor Adorno's...

Political Transition in Cambodia 1991-99: Power, Elitism and Democracy
ISBN: 9780700712830 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book illustrates the limits to the 1990s UNTAC peacekeeping intervention in Cambodia and raises a critical challenge to the assumptions underpinning key tenets of the 'Liberal Project' as a mechanism for resolving complex, severe struggles for elite political power in developing countries.
The book highlights the limitations of externally imposed power-sharing. In the case of Cambodia, the imagined effect was a coalition that would share power democratically. However, this approach was appropriate only for resolving the superpower conflict that had created Cambodia's war. Rather than...

The revelatory story, now in paperback, of the worst disaster in the history of the Western migrations--and how Brigham Young made it a parable of the indomitable Mormon spirit. - Dramatic re-telling of a terrible but little-known tragedy: In 1856, 220 Mormons traveling west to Utah, pushing and pulling their belongings in handcarts, died of malnutrition and hypothermia.

Global Governance and Biopolitics: Regulating Human Security
ISBN: 9781848132160 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This seminal work is the first fully to engage human security with power in the international system. It presents global governance not as impartial institutionalism, but as the calculated mismanagement of life, directing biopolitical neoliberal ideology through global networks, undermining the human security of millions. The book responds to recent critiques of the human security concept as incoherent by identifying and prioritizing transnational human populations facing life-ending contingencies en mass. Furthermore, it proposes a realignment of World Bank practices towards mobilizing...

Fremont, renowned as the nineteenth century's greatest explorer, and Kit Carson, the legendary scout and Indian fighter, boldly ventured into untamed territory to fulfill America's "manifest destiny." Drawing on little-known primary sources, as well as his own travels through the lands Fremont and Carson explored, David Roberts re-creates their expeditions, second in significance only to those of Lewis and Clark.

The Totalitarian Experiment in Twentieth Century Europe: Understanding the Poverty of Great Politics
ISBN: 9780415192798 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 591 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. By developing a long-term supranational perspective, this ambitious, multi-faceted work provides a new understanding of 'totalitarianism', the troubling common element linking Soviet communism, Italian fascism and German Nazism. The book's original analysis of antecedent ideas on the subject sheds light on the common origins and practices of the regimes. Through this fresh appreciation of their initial frame of mind, Roberts demonstrates how the three political experiments yielded unprecedented collective mobilization but also a characteristic combination of radicalization,...

The Total Work of Art in European Modernism
ISBN: 9780801450235 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this groundbreaking book, David Roberts sets out to demonstrate the centrality of the total work of art to European modernism since the French Revolution. The total work of art is usually understood as the intention to reunite the arts into the one integrated whole, but it is also tied from the beginning to the desire to recover and renew the public function of art. The synthesis of the arts in the service of social and cultural regeneration was a particularly German dream, which made Wagner and Nietzsche the other center of aesthetic modernism alongside Baudelaire and...

In Search of the Old Ones
ISBN: 9780684832128 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. An exuberant, hands-on fly-on-the-wall account that combines the thrill of canyoneering and rock climbing with the intellectual sleuthing of archaeology to explore the Anasazi. David Roberts describes the culture of the Anasazi--the name means "enemy ancestors" in Navajo--who once inhabited the Colorado Plateau and whose modern descendants are the Hopi Indians of Arizona. Archaeologists, Roberts writes, have been puzzling over the Anasazi for more than a century, trying to determine the environmental and cultural stresses that caused their society to collapse 700 years ago. He guides us...

Once They Moved Like The Wind 49: Cochise, Geronimo and the Apache Wars
ISBN: 9780712666282 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Of the many tales of conflict and warfare between the US government and the Indian tribes, perhaps none is more dramatic or revealing than the story of the Apache wars. They were the final episode in the subjugation of the indigenous peoples: the surrender of Geronimo in 1886 effectively ended the Indian wars. Featuring not only Gerinimo, but other larger-than-life characters such as Cochise and General Cook, this is an account of the battles between the Apache and the US Army for land and freedom.
