In Spaces of Culture an international group of scholars examines the implications of questions such as: What is culture?

ISBN: 9780761967958 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

Automobilities
ISBN: 9781412910897 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.
