Gender Shifts in the History of English
ISBN: 9780521117265 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Based on extensive research, Anne Curzan's study makes a major contribution by providing historical perspective on controversial questions regarding the continuing evolution of gender definition. How and why did grammatical gender gradually disappear from English and get replaced by a system where the gender of nouns and the use of personal pronouns depend on the natural gender of the referent? How is this shift related to "irregular agreement" (she for ships) and "sexist" language use (generic he) in Modern English? Finally, how is the language continuing to evolve 0n these respects?

Galen and the Arabic Reception of Plato's Timaeus
ISBN: 9781108499484 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This first full-length study of the Arabic reception of Plato's Timaeus considers the role of Galen of Pergamum (129–c. 216 CE) in shaping medieval perceptions of the text as transgressing disciplinary norms. It argues that Galen appealed to the entangled cosmological scheme of the dialogue, where different relations connect the body, soul, and cosmos, to expand the boundaries of medicine in his pursuit for epistemic authority – the right to define and explain natural reality. Aileen Das situates Galen's work on disciplinary boundaries in the context of medicine's ancient rivalry with...

ISBN: 9780521562911 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Rationalizing Parliament examines how institutional arrangements in the French Constitution shape the bargaining strategies of political parties.

Through its use of theories developed in the American politics literature, the study reveals important similarities between legislative politics in the United...

Domestic Space in Classical Antiquity
ISBN: 9780521783361 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Housing is shaped by culturally-specific expectations about the kinds of architecture and decoration that are appropriate; about how and where different activities should be carried out; and by and with whom. It is those expectations, and the wider social and cultural systems of which they are a part, that are explored in this volume. At the same time, the book as a whole argues two larger points: first, that while houses, households and families have in recent years become increasingly important as objects of inquiry in Greek and Roman contexts, their potential as objects of inquiry has yet...

Ageing and Health: The Politics of Better Policies
ISBN: 9781108972871 / Angielski / Miękka / 2021 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. One of the most important political and economic challenges facing Europe and elsewhere is the ageing of societies. Must ageing populations create conflict between generations and crisis for health systems? Our answer is no. The problem is not so much demographic change as the political and policy challenge of creating fair, sustainable and effective policies for people of all ages. This book, based on a large European Observatory study, uses new evidence to challenge some of the myths surrounding ageing and its effects on economies and health systems. Cataclysmic views of population ageing...

ISBN: 9780521621199 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 258 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Nations at War provides a scientifically-derived explanation of war.

ISBN: 9780521671712 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Social scientists have long relied on a wide range of tools to collect information about the social world, but as individual fields have become more specialised, researchers are trained to use a narrow range of the possible data collection methods.
