A Diplomatic Doctor
ISBN: 9780595364930 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. As the Air France 737 landed on the worn runway of the Tan Sun Nhut airport in a western suburb of Saigon and approached the rundown terminal building, I knew we were not going to be welcomed with open arms. As we passed through the arrival room, the customs officers were not disagreeable. I did wonder how they could sit in the heat and humidity in the large dingy room with one antique ceiling fan whining above them, pushing down the hot air. There were no smiles but no delays either.
'A plucky, gutsy memoir of a doctor's life well-lived, helping refugees set adrift by war and disaster.... As the Air France 737 landed on the worn runway of the Tan Sun Nhut airport in a western suburb of Saigon and approached the rundown terminal building...

Charles Dickens and the Image of Women
ISBN: 9780814735282 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How successful is Dickens in his portrayal of women? Dickens has been represented (along with William Blake and D.H. Lawrence) as one who championed the life of the emotions often associated with the -feminine.- Yet some of his most important heroines are totally submissive and docile. Dickens, of course, had to accept the conventions of his time. It is obvious, argues Holbrook, that Dickens idealized the father-daughter relationship, and indeed, any such relationship that was unsexual, like that of Tom Pinch and his sister--but why? Why, for example, is the image of woman so often... How successful is Dickens in his portrayal of women? Dickens has been represented (along with William Blake and D.H.

Sex and Dehumanization
ISBN: 9780765804020 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Never before published in the United States, David Holbrook's study offers the sort of common sense all too uncommon in this area of study. His essential premise is that sex has become converted from an instrument for the expression of happiness and affection into an end unto itself. In the search for sexual liberation, all that has been accomplished is the mechanization of sexuality and the destruction of the full range of emotions that nourish the human search for social and biological meaning. Sex and Dehumanization is one of those rare books that will immediately strike the...

Education, Nihilism, and Survival
ISBN: 9780765807328 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 193 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Under the influence of science, modern civilization has adopted the view that only things that can be verified empirically or arrived at rationally are true. Modern people tend to regard themselves as mechanisms, without any subjective aspects to their nature. In this insightful and passionately concerned book, British educationist and man of letters David Holbrook retorts persuasively that this reductive view of human nature is profoundly false. Man's inner, subjective life is essential to his nature, what happens to his consciousness is the most important thing in his life, and his...

The Politics of the Stuart Court Masque
ISBN: 9780521031202 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book takes a new look at the courtly masque--a unique combination of music, dance, speech, and elaborate costume--in early-seventeenth-century England. The essays, written by distinguished scholars from around the world, present an interdisciplinary approach, with experts on dance, music, visual spectacle and politics all addressing the masque from the point of view of their speciality. Together they reveal how rival factions at the courts of James I and of Charles I represented their clash of viewpoints through dancing and spectacle.

ISBN: 9780889118911 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Concerns over Canada's ability to compete in the global economy persist despite its relatively improved economic performance in recent years.

The challenge of competing in a global, knowledge-based economy accentuates our need to understand how the innovation process operates in the context of Canada's diverse regional economies. Attempts to...
