Public Works: Infrastructure, Irish Modernism, and the Postcolonial
ISBN: 9780268206734 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In Public Works: Infrastructure, Irish Modernism, and the Postcolonial, Michael Rubenstein documents the relationship between Irish modernism and a restricted segment of the material culture of the modern state known colloquially as “public utilities” or “water, gas, and electricity.” The water tap, the toilet, the gas jet, and the electrical light switch: these are all sites, in Irish modernism, of unexpected literary and linguistic intensities that burst through the routines of everyday life, defamiliarizing and reconceptualizing that which we might not normally consider worthy of...

Alejandro Tsakimp: A Shuar Healer in the Margins of History
ISBN: 9780803289888 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 322 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the heavily forested foothills of the Andes Mountains in Ecuador, a Shuar healer named Alejandro Tsakimp leads many lives. He is a peasant who sells cattle and lumber, a member of the Shuar Federation, a son and a brother, a husband and a father, a student and a worker, and, finally, a troubled shaman. Being a healer has long been both a burden and a resource, for the power to cure is also the power to kill, and shamans like Tsakimp are frequently in danger from accusations of witchcraft. But the situation of the Shuar today is especially perilous, and Tsakimp must constantly negotiate...

Stalinovy poslední dny
ISBN: 9788072912605 / Czeski / 2023 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Strhující kniha Joshuy Rubensteina nás zavede do reality druhé poloviny roku 1952, do posledních měsíců diktátorské vlády sovětského vůdce Josifa Vissarionoviče Stalina. Ocitneme se v době vzrůstajícího napětí mezi Východem a Západem a vystupňovaných represí uvnitř SSSR. Politické procesy a antisemitské kampaně jsou v tomto období nedílnou součástí Stalinovy vražedné politiky. Nikdo netuší, že po dlouhých desetiletích stalinského teroru se schyluje k obratu. Stalinův náhlý kolaps a následná smrt v březnu 1953 byly nejen dramatické a záhadné...

Strange Wonder: The Closure of Metaphysics and the Opening of Awe
ISBN: 9780231146333 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Strange Wonder confronts Western philosophy's ambivalent relationship to the Platonic "wonder" that reveals the strangeness of the everyday. On the one hand, this wonder is said to be the origin of all philosophy. On the other hand, it is associated with a kind of ignorance that ought to be extinguished as swiftly as possible. By endeavoring to resolve wonder's indeterminacy into certainty and calculability, philosophy paradoxically secures itself at the expense of its own condition of possibility. Strange Wonder locates a reopening of wonder's primordial uncertainty in the...

Pantheologies: Gods, Worlds, Monsters
ISBN: 9780231189460 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Mary-Jane Rubenstein provides a conceptual genealogy of pantheisms. What makes pantheism "monstrous"-at once repellent and seductive-is that it scrambles the raced and gendered distinctions that Western philosophy and theology insist on drawing between activity and passivity, spirit and matter, animacy and inanimacy, and creator and created.

Worlds Without End: The Many Lives of the Multiverse
ISBN: 9780231156639 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Multiverse" cosmologies imagine our universe as just one of a vast number of others. While this idea has captivated philosophy, religion, and literature for millennia, it is now being considered as a scientific hypothesis--with different models emerging from cosmology, quantum mechanics, and string theory. Beginning with ancient Atomist and Stoic philosophies, Mary-Jane Rubenstein links contemporary models of the multiverse to their forerunners and explores the reasons for their recent appearance. One concerns the so-called fine-tuning of the universe: nature's constants are so...

Armies of Heaven: The First Crusade and the Quest for Apocalypse
ISBN: 9780465019298 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. At Moson, the river Danube ran red with blood. At Antioch, the Crusaders-- their saddles freshly decorated with sawed-off heads--indiscriminately clogged the streets with the bodies of eastern Christians and Turks. At Ma'arra, they cooked children on spits and ate them. By the time the Crusaders reached Jerusalem, their quest--and their violence-- had become distinctly otherworldly: blood literally ran shin-deep through the streets as the Crusaders overran the sacred city.
Beginning in 1095 and culminating four bloody years later, the First Crusade represented a new kind of warfare: holy,... At Moson, the river Danube ran red with blood. At Antioch, the Crusaders-- their saddles freshly decorated with sawed-off heads--indiscriminately clog...
