ISBN: 9781849964975 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. IT systems explode budget estimates, bust production deadlines by years, and then fail to work properly. Why this IT-system crisis? Poor programmers? Inadequate project management?

ISBN: 9780199751402 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780567041234 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 482 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Re-Enchantment of the West challenges those theories that predict widespread secularization beyond traditional institutional religiosity.

In particular, it is argued that such contemporary Western spirituality is fed by a constantly replenished reservoir of ideas, practices, and methodologies, which is here termed 'occulture'. Moreover, such... The Re-Enchantment of the West challenges those theories that predict widespread secularization beyond traditional institutional religiosity. Spiri... |

Anthems of Apocalypse: Popular Music and Apocalyptic Thought

Whether focusing on biblical or secular apocalypses, musicians often want to tell us things about the end of the world we may not have wanted to know in ways we may not have thought about before. This volume seeks to introduce readers to some of these messengers and their anthems of apocalypse. Roland Boer's discussion of Nick Cave indicates that references to the portents and monsters of the apocalypse have been used to refer, not to an age to come, but to the authorities and demons of the present world. Likewise, Kennet Granholm's...
