Toleration Within Judaism
ISBN: 9781906764173 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Bible itself calls the Jewish people 'a company of nations', suggesting that difference within Judaism is not a new phenomenon.

In doing so,...

Rome's Last Citizen: The Life and Legacy of Cato, Mortal Enemy of Caesar
ISBN: 9781250042620 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "Cato, history's most famous foe of authoritarian power, was the pivotal political man of Rome; an inspiration to our Founding Fathers; and a cautionary figure for our times. He loved Roman republicanism, but saw himself as too principled for the mere politics that might have saved it. His life and lessons are urgently relevant in the harshly divided America and world of today. With erudition and verve, Rob Goodman and Jimmy Soni turn their life of Cato into the most modern of biographies, a blend of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire and Game Change." Howard Fineman, Editorial... "Cato, history's most famous foe of authoritarian power, was the pivotal political man of Rome; an inspiration to our Founding Fathers; and a cauti... |
