The Uncertainties of Knowledge
ISBN: 9781592132423 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In The Uncertainties of Knowledge, Immanuel Wallerstein extends his work over the last decade of elucidating the crisis of knowledge in current intellectual thought. Arguing that the current disciplinary divisions of academia - divisions produced by a previous crisis of knowledge - has left us trapped in a paradigm that assumes knowledge is a certainty that can help us explain the social world, Wallerstein offers us a new way of imagining the social sciences, one which allows for uncertainties and for methods of studying our world and its historical place.

Agrofuels: Big Profits, Ruined Lives and Ecological Destruction
ISBN: 9780745330136 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Since they were heralded as a key weapon in the fight against climate change, agrofuels have been criticised heavily for doing more harm than good due to deforestation and stealing agricultural land essential to farmers in the developing world. This book asks whether there is any place for agrofuels in a low-carbon future.
Francois Houtart argues that the green potential of agrofuels has been wasted by businesses that put profits above environmental protection. This has led to the absurd situation where an energy source that should be sustainable actually increases human and ecological...

Making Waves: Worldwide Social Movements, 1750-2005
ISBN: 9781594514814 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 226 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Making Waves unearths the successive, worldwide waves of revolts, rebellions, and revolutions that have shaken and remade the world from the eighteenth century to the present. It challenges us to rethink not only our limited conceptions of social movements but the very character and possibilities of social movements. The authors show how successive outbursts of global social protest have undermined world capitalist orders and, through both their successes and their failures, provided the basis for long periods of stable capitalist rule across all the zones of the world-economy. The surprises...
