These are typical experiences for many who try to read, let alone teach or preach, through Isaiah.Andrew Abernethy's conviction is that thematic points of reference can be of great help in encountering Isaiah and its rich...

Texas has a large population who has lived on both sides of the border and created a folkloric mix that makes Texas unique. "Both Sides of the Border" gets its name from its emphasis on recently researched Tex-Mex folklore. But we recognize that Texas has other borders besides the Rio Grande. We use that title with the folklorist s knowledge that all of this state s songs, tales, and traditions have lived and prospered on the other sides of Texas borders at one time or another before they crossed the rivers and became ours.
Chapters are organized thematically, and include favorite... Texas has a large population who has lived on both sides of the border and created a folkloric mix that makes Texas unique. "Both Sides of the Border"...

ISBN: 9781412804592 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 202 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Integrating research from anthropology, biology, and history, this provocative, brilliant book proposes a theory of demographic equilibrium.

Abernethy points out that in response to perception of scarcity or abundance of resources, culturally mediated values, beliefs and behavioral patterns are modified in ways that can either raise or lower rates of population growth.
Abernethy in this way moves beyond the ideological debates... Integrating research from anthropology, biology, and history, this provocative, brilliant book proposes a theory of demographic equilibrium. The autho...
