The Americans
ISBN: 9780822963127 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 88 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. David Roderick's second book, The Americans, pledges its allegiance to dirt. And to laptops. And to swimming pools, the Kennedys, a flower in a lapel, plastic stars hanging from the ceiling of a child's room, churning locusts, a jar of blood, a gleam of sun on the wing of a plane. His poems swarm with life. They also ask an unanswerable question: What does it mean to be an American? Restless against the borders we build--between countries, between each other--Roderick roams from place to place in order to dig into the messy, political, idealistic and ultimately inexplicable idea...

Digenes Akrites: New Approaches to Byzantine Heroic Poetry
ISBN: 9781138271036 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Called variously the Byzantine epic, the epic of Modern Greece, an epic-romance and romance, the poem of Digenes Akrites has, since its rediscovery towards the end of the nineteenth century, exerted a tenacious hold on the imagination of scholars from a wide range of disciplines and from many countries of the world, as well as of writers and public figures in Greece. There are many reasons for this, not least among them the prestige accorded to national epics in the nineteenth century and for some time afterwards. Another reason must surely be the work s uniqueness: there is nothing quite...

From the Line: Scottish War Poetry 1914-1945
ISBN: 9781906841164 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. The first half of the 20th century witnessed two catastrophic global conflicts, with suffering on a scale that - thankfully - later generations find hard to comprehend. The full story of what it was like to endure these wars might never be told, because many who survived chose not to speak - or could not speak - of what they saw and suffered. But some could turn to poetry, to try and make sense of what was happening. This book brings together the best of Scotland's poetry from the two World Wars: 138 poems, from 56 poets, are represented here, from both men and women, from battlefields across...

The Making of Modern Greece: Nationalism, Romanticism, and the Uses of the Past (1797-1896)
ISBN: 9781138382725 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Every Greek and every friend of the country knows the date 1821, when the banner of revolution was raised against the empire of the Ottoman Turks, and the story of 'Modern Greece' is usually said to begin. Less well known, but of even greater importance, was the international recognition given to Greece as an independent state with full sovereign rights, as early as 1830. This places Greece in the vanguard among the new nation-states of Europe whose emergence would gather momentum through to the early twentieth century, a process whose repercussions continue to this day. Starting out from...

LSD - Blew Out Grandad's Windows: Integrating Psychedelic Experience
ISBN: 9781494311704 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 422 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book is a zany romp through the psychedelic sixties and seventies written by an actual "Psychedelic Grandpa," who was there back then. It may be worth a look for those who today experiment with substances and strange experiences, or for parents, other old trippers, or the curious. He remembers the madness of tripping out of it on LSD, many times, in the UK and USA and tries to make sense of the weird and wonderful events ensuing as humorous reflections on the brain contents so revealed. All the while he is considering maybe he was "round the bend" and tipped into psychosis or some...

Critical Discourse Studies and Technology : A Multimodal Approach to Analysing Technoculture
ISBN: 9781472569486 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Making a new contribution to the developing field of multimodal critical discourse studies, Ian Roderick's book demonstrates how technologies that tend to be widely represented as innovative, or as simple pragmatic solutions, are always anchored in power relations and are therefore deeply ideological. A series of examples analysing technologies such as robotics, smart phones or bio-medicine, their functioning and uses, as well as their representations in the media, show that these are embedded within discourses that tell us about social and power relations, identities...

Negotiation as a Social Process
ISBN: 9780803957381 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. While most studies in negotiation and conflict management have focused on cognitive aspects, few have addressed the impact of social processes and contexts on the negotiation process.

A wide range of topics is covered including: the role of group identification and accountability on negotiator judgement and decision making; the importance of power-dependence relations on negotiation; intergroup bargaining; coalitional dynamics in...

Birds and Forestry
ISBN: 9781408137680 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this book an ornithologist and a forester have combined their skills to try and tease out the real facts behind the various arguments: Which bird species are really threatened? How can we judge the relative value of bird species ousted by plantations and the new species which colonize them? How can the need for forest products be reconciled with the demands of conservationists? This fascinating book tackles these issues in a forthright manner. It represents a significant step towards achieving the sort of prudent land planning that will really improve our beleaguered countryside. Mark...
