The War on Tenure
ISBN: 9781009596824 / Angielski / Twarda / 2025 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. As academia increasingly comes under attack in the United States, The War on Tenure steps in to demystify what professors do and to explain the importance of tenure for their work. Deepa Das Acevedo takes readers on a backstage tour of tenure-stream academia to reveal hidden dynamics and obstacles.

Preemption Choice: The Theory, Law, and Reality of Federalism's Core Question
ISBN: 9780521888059 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book examines the theory, law, and reality of preemption choice. The Constitution s federalist structures protect states sovereignty but also create a powerful federal government that can preempt and thereby displace the authority of state and local governments and courts to respond to a social challenge. Despite this preemptive power, Congress and agencies have seldom preempted state power. Instead, they typically have embraced concurrent, overlapping power. Recent legislative, agency, and court actions, however, reveal a newly aggressive use of federal preemption, sometimes even...

Wealth, Land, and Property in Angola: A History of Dispossession, Slavery, and Inequality
ISBN: 9781009055987 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Exploring the multifaceted history of dispossession, consumption, and inequality in West Central Africa, Mariana P. Candido presents a bold revisionist history of Angola from the sixteenth century until the Berlin Conference of 1884–5. Synthesising disparate strands of scholarship, including the histories of slavery, land tenure, and gender in West Central Africa, Candido makes a significant contribution to ongoing historical debates.

Metaphysics and the Modern World makes the abiding questions of the nature of the self, world, and God available for the modern reader. Donald Phillip Verene presents these questions in both their systematic and historical dimensions, beginning with Aristotle's claim in his Metaphysics that philosophy begins in wonder. The first three chapters concern the origin of metaphysics as the transformation of the conception of reality in ancient Greek mythology, the ontological argument as the basis of Christian metaphysics, and the Renaissance cosmology of infinite worlds and the coincidence of...

The Letters of Samuel Beckett: Volume 3, 1957–1965
ISBN: 9780521867955 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 816 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This third volume of The Letters of Samuel Beckett focuses on the years when Beckett is striving to find a balance between the demands put upon him by his growing international fame, and his need for the peace and silence from which new writing might emerge. This is the period in which Beckett launches into work for radio, film and, later, into television. It also marks his return to writing fiction, with his first major piece for a decade, Comment c'est (How It Is). Where hitherto he has been reticent about the writing process, now he devotes letter after letter to describing and explaining...
