It examines seismology, gravity, the strength of the shell, the variation of latitude and the figure of the Moon.

The criticism of theories of continental drift, convection and plate tectonics is much expanded. A new appendix pinpoints directions for future...

ISBN: 9780198503682 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 470 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

Views of Ancient Egypt since Napoleon Bonaparte : Imperialism, Colonialism and Modern Appropriations
ISBN: 9781598742022 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 223 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book addresses some of the main themes of the study of Egypt during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In a combination of case studies and discursive chapters, the status of Egypt as an important example of traditional Asian scholarship, and as an ancient model of imperialism itself, is examined. Contributions range from studies of nineteenth century antiquarianism, and the collecting of Egyptian antiquities as an extension of the territorial ambitions and rivalries of the European powers, to explorations of how Egypt is understood and interpreted in contemporary societies. Views...

Beauty and Misogyny: Harmful Cultural Practices in the West
ISBN: 9781848724488 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The new edition of Beauty and Misogyny revisits and updates Sheila Jeffreys' uncompromising critique of Western beauty practice and the industries and ideologies behind it. Jeffreys argues that beauty practices are not related to individual female choice or creative expression, but represent instead an important aspect of women's oppression. As these practices have become increasingly brutal and pervasive, the need to scrutinize and dismantle them is if anything more urgent now as it was in 2005 when the first edition of the book was published.

In this feminist critique of the politics of religion, Sheila Jeffreys argues that the renewed rise of religion is harmful to women's human rights.

It points to the incorporation of religious law into legal systems, faith...
