Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) One of former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani s proudest accomplishments is his expansion of the Work Experience Program, which uses welfare recipients to do routine work once done by unionized city workers. The fact that WEP workers are denied the legal status of employees and make far less money and enjoy fewer rights than do city workers has sparked fierce opposition. For antipoverty activists, legal advocates, unions, and other critics of the program this double standard begs a troubling question: are workfare participants workers or welfare recipients?

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Is it merely a coincidence that the three "Bs" of classical music--Bach, Beethoven, Brahms--are all German composers?

Over the past three centuries, supporters of German music ranging from music scholars to politicians have nurtured the notion that the German-speaking world possesses a peculiar strength in the cultivation of music.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) One of the most radical feminist theorists in Europe before the nineteenth century, Francois Poullain de la Barre (1647-1723) was a man way ahead of his time. Applying Cartesian principles to "the Woman Question," Poullain demonstrated by rational deduction that the supposedly "self-evident" inequality of the sexes was nothing more than unfounded prejudice.
Poullain published three books (anonymously) on this topic in the 1670s, all of which are included in English translation in this volume. In "On the Equality of the Two Sexes" he argued that the supposedly "natural" inferiority of...

Time and Narrative, Volume 1

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Time and Narrative builds on Paul Ricoeur's earlier analysis, in The Rule of Metaphor, of semantic innovation at the level of the sentence. Ricoeur here examines the creation of meaning at the textual level, with narrative rather than metaphor as the ruling concern.
Ricoeur finds a "healthy circle" between time and narrative: time is humanized to the extent that it portrays temporal experience. Ricoeur proposes a theoretical model of this circle using Augustine's theory of time and Aristotle's theory of plot and, further, develops an original thesis of the mimetic function...
