Another Music: Polemics and Pleasures
ISBN: 9781412807937 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. As the essays in this book attest, in a time of specialization John McCormick chose diversification, a choice determined by a life spent in many occupations and many countries. After his five years in the U. S. Navy in the Second World War, the academy beckoned by way of the G. I. Bill, graduate training, and a career in teaching. Prosperity in the American university at the time meant setting up as a "Wordsworth man," a "Keats man," or a "Dr. Johnson man": all chilling to the author. He chose self-exile in which he disguised himself as an "Americanist" saleable in Europe, and lectured...

Bullfighting: Art, Technique and Spanish Society
ISBN: 9780765806574 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Ernest Hemingway, best-known to layman and aficionado alike, in his fiction described bullfighting, or toreo, as a cross between romantic risk and a drunken party, or as an elaborate substitute for war, ending in wounds or death. Although his descriptions of the "beauty"in toreo are lyrical, they are short on imaginative creation of how such beauty, through techniques and discipline, comes about. Hemingway may have sculpted a personal mystique of toreo but, in the opinion of some, he ignored or slighted the full, unique nature of the subject. In...

Seagoing: Memoirs
ISBN: 9780765800213 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 178 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "The great virtue of McCormick's memoirs is their blunt honesty. He writes with a persuasive directness about what happened to him and what he believes..."--Arts and Letters
The title of John McCormick's autobiographical book, may be taken both literally and symbolically. In a literal sense, going to sea was an early and powerful ambition, while seagoing is also a metaphor for the twists and turns in a rootless life, a long voyaging. This is not a conventional autobiography. It is personal only as necessary for continuity, and never confessional. The essays center upon...

From the late nineteenth century to the middle of the twentieth, George Santayana was a highly esteemed and widely read writer of philosophy, poetry, essays, memoirs, and even a best-selling novel, The Last Puritan.

ISBN: 9780521616157 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Banned, marginalised, tolerated or neglected, puppets were a major form of entertainment of the subordinate classes in the nineteenth century. Showmen travelled from one end of Europe to the other bringing everything from biblical plays to melodramas and variety to audiences who experienced them as their only form of dramatic entertainment. The first study of its kind in English, Popular Puppet Theatre in Europe is less a history than a comparative study, highlighting a significant aspect of social and cultural history from a national and transnational perspective. It examines the showmen,...

Machiavelli und der populistische Schmerzensschrei
ISBN: 9783518299869 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Seit zwei Jahrzehnten tritt der Politwissenschaftler John McCormick für eine »demokratische Wende« in der Forschung zu Machiavelli ein, indem er die plebejischen, antioligarchischen und sogar »populistischen« Züge von dessen politischem Denken betont. Wie die bahnbrechenden Aufsätze in diesem Band zeigen, ist Machiavelli überraschend relevant für die Analyse der gegenwärtigen Krise der Demokratie, die durch Populismus und Plutokratie gekennzeichnet ist. Mit seiner Hilfe, so McCormick, lassen sich unsere demokratischen Verfassungen neu gestalten, so dass die Bürgerinnen und...

Acid Earth: The Global Threat of Acid Pollution
ISBN: 9780415845830 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Acid rain was one of the major environmental issues of the 1980s. But while industrialized countries have taken measures to reduce the emissions that lead to acidification, the problems have not gone away. Trees are still dying, lakes are still being made uninhabitable; buildings are still corroding; and human health is still suffering. The most worrying trend is the repetition in the industrializing countries of Asia and Latin America of the problems that have long afflicted Europe and North America. More than 10 years after it was first published, the highly acclaimed Acid Earth still...
