Consuming Architecture: On the Occupation, Appropriation and Interpretation of Buildings
ISBN: 9780415825009 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Projecting forward in time from the processes of design and construction that are so often the focus of architectural discourse, Consuming Architecture examines the variety of ways in which buildings are consumed after they have been produced, focusing in particular on processes of occupation, appropriation and interpretation. Drawing on contributions by architects, historians, anthropologists, literary critics, artists, film-makers, photographers and journalists, it shows how the consumption of architecture is a dynamic and creative act that involves the creation and negotiation of meanings...

Philosophy of Physics: Space and Time
ISBN: 9780691165714 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This concise book introduces nonphysicists to the core philosophical issues surrounding the nature and structure of space and time, and is also an ideal resource for physicists interested in the conceptual foundations of space-time theory. Tim Maudlin's broad historical overview examines Aristotelian and Newtonian accounts of space and time, and traces how Galileo's conceptions of relativity and space-time led to Einstein's special and general theories of relativity. Maudlin explains special relativity with enough detail to solve concrete physical problems while presenting general...

New Foundations for Physical Geometry: The Theory of Linear Structures
ISBN: 9780198701309 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 376 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Topology is the mathematical study of the most basic geometrical structure of a space. Mathematical physics uses topological spaces as the formal means for describing physical space and time. This book proposes a completely new mathematical structure for describing geometrical notions such as continuity, connectedness, boundaries of sets, and so on, in order to provide a better mathematical tool for understanding space-time. This is the initial volume in a two-volume set, the first of which develops the mathematical structure and the second of which applies it to classical and Relativistic...

The Metaphysics Within Physics
ISBN: 9780199575374 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What fundamental account of the world is implicit in physical theory? Physics straightforwardly postulates quarks and electrons, but what of the more intangible elements, such as laws of nature, universals, causation and the direction of time? Do they have a place in the physical structure of the world?
Tim Maudlin argues that the ontology derived from physics takes a form quite different from those most commonly defended by philosophers. Physics postulates irreducible fundamental laws, eschews universals, does not require a fundamental notion of causation, and makes room for the passage...

Truth and Paradox: Solving the Riddles
ISBN: 9780199203918 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Consider the sentence 'This sentence is not true'. It seems that the sentence can be neither true nor not true, on pain of contradiction. Tim Maudlin sets out a novel account of logic and semantics which allows him to deal with certain notorious paradoxes which have bedevilled philosophical theories of truth. All philosophers interested in logic and language will find Truth and Paradox a stimulating read.

Twenty-six-year-old Charlie is still in school and works in a bookstore. All his friends, however, have grown-up careers and committed relationships. Charlie seems to be left behind. But one attractive dancer has the power to change that. Charlie's best friend, Doug, and Doug's fiancee, Marisol, throw the ultimate parties, the key element of which is couple-driven drama. Charlie has always been a spectator to the "games" (always the groomsman never the groom). That is, until Doug and Marisol have a housewarming party on the eve of the holiday...

The Idea of the Cottage in English Architecture, 1760 - 1860
ISBN: 9781138793873 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Idea of the Cottage in English Architecture is a history of the late Georgian phenomenon of the architect-designed cottage and the architectural discourse that articulated it. It is a study of small buildings built on country estates, and not so small buildings built in picturesque rural settings, resort towns and suburban developments. At the heart of the English idea of the cottage is the Classical notion of retreat from the city to the countryside. This idea was adopted and adapted by the Augustan-infused culture of eighteenth-century England where it gained...

The contributors trace the evolution of Anglo-American culture from its origins as a product of the British North Atlantic Empire through to its persistence in the post-Independence world of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. While transatlanticism is a well-established field in history and literary studies, this volume...

Building the British Atlantic World: Spaces, Places, and Material Culture, 1600-1850
ISBN: 9781469626826 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Spanning the North Atlantic rim from Canada to Scotland, and from the Caribbean to the coast of West Africa, the British Atlantic world is deeply interconnected across its regions. In this groundbreaking study, thirteen leading scholars explore the idea of transatlanticism--or a shared -Atlantic world- experience--through the lens of architecture, built spaces, and landscapes in the British Atlantic from the seventeenth century through the mid-nineteenth century. Examining town planning, churches, forts, merchants' stores, state houses, and farm houses, this collection shows how the powerful...
