The One-Room Schoolhouse: Stories about the Boys
ISBN: 9780679747697 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In more than one hundred perfectly pitched, sometimes perverse, and always surprising stories, Jim Heynen displays his mastery of country wisdom, speech, and behavior as he reveals life in a Midwest where electricity is a magical novelty and cities a distant rumor.

Or choosing between corncobs and peach tissues, hurling rotten eggs, getting in trouble, helping out, and trying to conceive of the mountains and oceans and forests they've never seen. Their...

This complex turn, with its countless yet uncharted implications for environmental quality and governance, is captured by the contentious concept of neoliberalism. Today, neoliberalism provides the context and direction for how humans affect... Over the past few decades, the governance of nature has taken its most radical turn.

Everybody starts writing at some time in his life, career or peregrinations (if he or she is lucky enough to be travelling the world). I am, (both: writing from time to time and travelling the world), but at times what I write does not fit in anything I might have started that would be a book of memoirs (I might be considered to young), or essay (maybe not enough of a writer to do that), and so the things I happen to write in the "spirit of the moment" end up on a peace of paper, a "post-it-note" (you know, the little sticky yellow things) or I just forget about it. This compilation is...
