Citizenship, Europe and Change
ISBN: 9780333628317 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 335 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Citizenship, Europe and Change is about the implications of the evolution of the European Union and the emergence of European supra-citizenship for the people of Europe. It addresses the way in which these implications are crucially mediated by inequalities according to social class, age- generation, race-ethnicity and sex-gender. An analytical framework is presented in terms of which European society, processes and change are decisively shaped within a hierarchy of political communities and conflicts, and driven by fundamental societal contradictions. Attention is paid to conceptual and...

Contemporary Hispanic Crime Fiction: A Transatlantic Discourse on Urban Violence
ISBN: 9780230607972 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This study examines representations of the cityscape and of a so-called "new urban violence" in both detective-centered and detectiveless crime fiction produced in Spanish America and Spain during recent decades. It documents the emergence and permutations of this production as an index not only of local perceptions of contemporary urban experience and of a contemporary urban "ecology of fear," but also as a transnational index of the globalization of literary forms and markets. It centers on the inscription of urban space in novels set in the metropolitan centers of the Hispanic World:...

What The Abenaki Say About Dogs
ISBN: 9780970662019 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 64 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. How This Book Came To Be: Some years ago, the Abenaki of northwestern Vermont staged a demonstration against the practices of certain contractors who were building homes on sites the Abenaki had identified as ancient burial grounds of their people. About a month after that demonstration, I happened to travel near the area in question. Along the way, I noticed a small group of people standing around a big yellow loader on a building lot that had been ripped up to dig a cellar hole. The loader's scoop, filled with sand, had been lifted to table height and people stood around it, not the usual...

The Romantic Approach to 'Don Quixote': A Critical History of the Romantic Tradition in 'Quixote' Criticism
ISBN: 9780521142588 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Don Quixote has been widely read and discussed outside Spain. Interpreted before 1800 as a burlesque of chivalric romances, and implicitly described as such by Cervantes himself, it was given a sentimentalised and seriously philosophical interpretation by the German Romantics. Dr Close is essentially concerned with the question why this unhistorical and subjective reading of the novel prevailed, first in Europe, then in Spain. He examines the stages by which, from 1860, it progressively supplanted in Spain the hitherto dominant neo-classical interpretation, and shows how this process kept...

Whim: In The Beginning
ISBN: 9781495989407 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Two hundred and fifty years ago the planet Earth was in trouble. Everything that could be dug up had either been burned as fuel, turned into novelty key-rings or eaten ... at least once. All this could mean only one thing; it was time to move on. What was needed was a ship. But this was to be no ordinary Ship; this was to be the saviour of mankind. As such it had to have the backing and cooperation of everyone on the planet. It was therefore doomed from day-one. It's the job of The Chairman to steer a course through the figurative minefields to the point where the Ship is launched, but also...

Infinity Puzzle: Quantum Field Theory and the Hunt for an Orderly Universe
ISBN: 9780465063826 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 464 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Speculation is rife that by 2012 the elusive Higgs boson will be found at the Large Hadron Collider. If found, the Higgs boson would help explain why everything has mass. But there's more at stake--what we're really testing is our capacity to make the universe reasonable.
Our best understanding of physics is predicated on something known as quantum field theory. Unfortunately, in its raw form, it doesn't make sense--its outputs are physically impossible infinite percentages when they should be something simpler, like the number 1. The kind of physics that the Higgs boson represents seeks... Speculation is rife that by 2012 the elusive Higgs boson will be found at the Large Hadron Collider.

The Legacy of Supranationalism
ISBN: 9780333651742 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 260 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The doctrine of supranationalism has been most evident in Europe, but has become increasingly a global tour de force . Supranationalism is the ideological driving force behind the process of European integration and so the European Union, the first supranational regional regime (SRR). But the same doctrine has bequeathed other gifts to the world and to posterity. The EU is evolving as a prominent global player, and as a result appears to have become an inspiration and model for the proliferation of other SRRs and proto-SRRs. However, as SRRs acquire greater power relative to 'traditional'...

After two hundred and fifty years of conceptualising, designing, building ... and scheming, the largest man-made structure (excluding craters) ever constructed was launched. But this was no ordinary Ship. This was the saviour of mankind; she was an Ark. She contained the pristine genetic material of every life-form that had managed to survive the cross-hairs and epicurean menus long enough to be sampled. Her destination, if it actually existed when she finally arrived there, was thousands of light years away but that was fine because she was under the command of a sentient brain that rarely...

Undoing Democracy: The Politics of Electoral Caudillismo
ISBN: 9780739108086 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In an effort to understand how and why democratically elected governments evade the limitations that democratic accountability and popular participation place on them, Undoing Democracy examines how democratic rule was undermined in Nicaragua in the 1990's. David Close and Kalowatie Deonandan focus their analysis on the pact struck between the country's two main parties, the Liberals and the Sandinistas, which allowed the passage of the constitutional amendments that weakened Nicaragua's basic political institutions. The authors also consider, in detail, the country's political economy as...
