Eli Ginzberg: The Economist as a Public Intellectual
ISBN: 9780765801326 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The world of Eli Ginzberg can readily be thought of as a triptych-a career in three parts. In his early years, Ginzberg's work was dedicated to understanding the history of economics, from Adam Smith to C. Wesley Mitchell, and placing that understanding in what might well be considered economic ethnography. His studies took him on travels from Wales in the United Kingdom to California in the United States. For example, the poignant account of Welsh miners in an era of economic depression and technological change remains a landmark work. His report of a cross country trip taken in the first...

Daydreams and Nightmares: Expanded Edition
ISBN: 9781412845892 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is the story of the making of a world-famous sociologist. It is even more the story of a boy hustling to survive. Here in an astonishing and candidly written memoir by one of America's premier social scientists recounting the intensely personal story of his tormented youth in a ghetto within a ghetto. It etches the painful details of a boy's overcoming alienation and isolation in a hostile place in an unloving family.

Behemoth: Main Currents in the History and Theory of Political Sociology
ISBN: 9780765806277 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 487 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The title, Behemoth, derives from the Hebrew word Behemah-a beast, an enormous creature, monstrously huge and vast. It is an apt description of the State on the eve of the twenty-first century. Loved by few, vilified by many from all perspectives, it nonetheless continues to grow; by turns rivaling and co-opting that more pleasant-sounding word: Society. Political sociology aims to define and understand the interrelationship between these two huge terms: State and Society. Continuing in a path begun by Horowitz in the 1950s in The Idea of War and Peace in...

The War Game: Studies of the New Civilian Militarists
ISBN: 9781412851817 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. War gaming has become a characteristic feature of modern life. From amateur clubs to professional academicians playing the war game in the company of military circles, we have come up against the phenomenon of the "robotization" of human life. Irving Louis Horowitz argues that those who protest the idea that war is a game do so on moral grounds that leave unanswered tough questions: What is the alternative to playing the game? What will become of us if we allow the opponent to become the better "player" in an all-or-nothing game of extinction? Horowitz provides answers in a logical manner...

Veblen's Century: A Collective Portrait
ISBN: 9780765800992 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 428 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Thorstein Veblen has a place of honor reserved for truly important figures. Economist, iconoclast, social critic, and moral judge of the American way of life, he has continued to attract the attention of students and scholars alike. People from every spectrum of political thought and every branch of the social sciences have been drawn to his work-sometimes in praise, other times in criticism, but always with a sense of measuring what Veblen said and often how he said it. Veblen was, in the final analysis, an anthropologist of America as an advanced culture, as much a figure of the... Thorstein Veblen has a place of honor reserved for truly important figures.

Culture and Civilization: Volume 3, Globalism
ISBN: 9781412842389 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 281 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Volume three of Culture & Civilization continues a pattern in this annual series of dealing with major themes of the past, with a strong sense of how the everyday world of the second decade of the twenty-first century impacts cultural history and civilizations pushing up against each other. A constant theme throughout is the immediate impact of Globalism: in economics, government, manners, styles, egalitarianism in political demands, and terrorism as a response to democratic systems. Each in its own way has coalesced to bring discourse on civilization levels back into vogue....

The Anarchists
ISBN: 9781138534278 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 640 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In his new introduction to The Anarchists, Horowitz points out that anarchism is an ideology in search of a movement, and also a psychology in search of a polity. While this seems to be a paradox, the fact is that anarchism has more than one hundred thousand entries on electronic search engines, but one can search high and low for a society that embraces its essential anti-Statist vision. At the same time, anarchism continues to attract people to its premises, seemingly generation after generation. Despite similarities in values and goals, anarchism seems especially attractive to those for...

Culture and Civilization: Volume 1, 2009
ISBN: 9781412810654 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 347 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Intellectual activity in the twentieth century took place largely under the banner of science and society. As the new millennium develops, it is becoming evident that science and society are not words that represent an unmitigated good, nor for that matter, do they exhaust what is new in the human condition. Past writing on the theme of culture has emphasized the growth and expansion of human capabilities. Recent use of the term "civilization" has placed great emphasis on the fall from grace of human beings. The use of both terms is rapidly changing. Culture and Civilization develops critical...

The Long Night of Dark Intent: A Half Century of Cuban Communism
ISBN: 9781412808798 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 622 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Cuban Revolution of 1959 was a benchmark of triumph and a harbinger of tragedy to come. Rather than herald a new era of Cuba joining the world community of nations as a paragon of democracy as many fervently hoped and believed it would, it became instead a new stage in authoritarian rule in the Western hemisphere. For more than a half century since then Cuba has been defined by the capacity of a single family to command and determine the fate of a nation--and to do so with a minimum of opposition. Incredibly, even those professing adhesion to democratic norms have been ready to... The Cuban Revolution of 1959 was a benchmark of triumph and a harbinger of tragedy to come.

ISBN: 9780765802187 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 370 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In one of his final works, Stephen Jay Gould spoke of the human race "as a wildly improbable evolutionary event well within the realm of contingency." Drawing on his personal knowledge of fifty figures from the world of twentieth-century social science, Irving Louis Horowitz offers commentaries drawn from a variety of public occasions to explain one segment of this improbable event. In the process he reveals how the past century was defined in substantial measure by the rise of social research. Commenting on Tributes, Daniel Mahoney observes, "some pieces are completely...

This second volume in this new series aims to anchor the 21st century in the tradition of the new, to raise methodology into historiography. As the new millennium develops, it is becoming evident that science and society are critical pivots in the formation of a larger mosaic of culture and civilization. A tradition has developed and refuses to dissolve under the withering aspect of analysis. Whether flying under the banner of Arthur Lovejoy, George F. Kennan, Pitirim Sorokin, Arnold Toynbee, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, T. S. Eliot, Thorstein Veblen, and countless others, it has become clear that...

Hannah Arendt: Radical Conservative
ISBN: 9781412846028 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Hannah Arendt: Radical Conservative paints a broad picture of the personal traits and professional achievements in the work of an extremely complex iconographic figure in twentieth-century intellectual life. Writing about Hannah Arendt is an exercise in the biographic intersecting with the academic. It is an effort to bring together contexts of work with contents of thought. This volume was written in response to continuing interest in her work and also to the bitter and sometimes emotional attacks of her toughest critics. Horowitz emphasizes her unique contributions to political...
