ISBN: 9780571179015 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 560 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Covering hunting spiders and black holes, gorillas and stardust, protons, photons and neutrinos, this anthology plots the development of modern science from Leonardo da Vinci to chaos theory. It consists of accounts by scientists themselves - astronomers, physicists, biologists, chemists, psychologists - who talk about their moments of breakthrough.

ISBN: 9788020031433 / Czeski / Miękka / 2021 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Studie Intelektuálové a masy podrobuje kritice elitářské teze některých nejznámějších osobností britské literární scény konce 19. a počátku 20. století. Na citacích z jejich děl či soukromých písemností dokládá úzkost a averzi, kterou mezi intelektuály vzbuzovaly společenské změny spojené s prudkým růstem počtu obyvatel v 19. století: urbanizace a rozvoj předměstské zástavby spojený s devastací přírody a také všeobecné rozšíření gramotnosti a následný vzestup masové kultury, jehož průvodními jevy byly populární žurnalistika, masová...

What Good Are the Arts?
ISBN: 9780195305548 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Hailed as "exhilarating and suggestive" (Spectator), "thought-provoking and entertaining" (David Lodge, Sunday Times), and "incisive and inspirational" (Guardian), What Good are the Arts? offers a delightfully skeptical look at the nature of art. John Carey--one of Britain's most respected literary critics--here cuts through the cant surrounding the fine arts, debunking claims that the arts make us better people or that judgments about art are anything more than personal opinion. But Carey does argue strongly for the value of art as an activity and for the superiority of one art in...

The Intellectuals and the Masses: Pride and Prejudice Among the Literary Intelligensia, 1880-1939
ISBN: 9780897335072 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) In this landmark study, John Carey analyzes the elitest views of some of the most highly respected literary icons of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This book, as defined in his preface, "is about the response of the English literary intelligentsia to the new phenomenon of mass culture." Readers may be shocked to learn that H.G. Wells liked to think that this newly emerged "mass" would be eliminated by plague and atomic bombs; that Yeats wished them to perish in an apocalyptic war against the educated classes and that D.H. Lawrence visualized a huge lethal chamber in which they could...

The Unexpected Professor: An Oxford Life in Books
ISBN: 9780571310937 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) 'Among the wealthy elders, my views gave some offence. Two or three people walked out of my lecture in Hamburg. At a dinner in Oldenburg I was seated next to a senior academic who berated me for my leftist leanings - not what he expected of an Oxford professor...' John Carey, best known for his provocative stance on the arts and the academic establishment, looks back on his journey from an ordinary background to Oxford's oldest literary professorship. Books formed the backbone of his life: from Biggles in his boyhood home to G. K. Chesterton in his West London grammar school to rigorous...
