Long Belts and Thin Men: The Postwar Stories of Kojima Nobuo
ISBN: 9784902075762 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Kojima Nobuo is best-known in English for his outstanding novella, "Amerikan sukuuru" (1954, "The American School"), which earned the Akutagawa Prize that year. Strongly affected by World War II and the postwar era, his style evolved into a powerful, often painfully honest satire depicting the Japanese male as a Milquetoast, under the thumbs of women and society in general. Influenced by Gogol and other giants of Russian literature, Kojimas style and technique immerse the reader in the doubts and dilemmas of his characters to powerful effect.

Citadel in Spring
ISBN: 9784902075458 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Published in Japanese in 1949, Citadel in Spring is, at its heart, an autobiographical novel of the author's life from university through induction into the Imperial Japan Navy, assignment to intelligence service in China, and Japan's final defeat. In addition to details of actual code-breaking activities, it also paints grimly honest pictures of some of the fiercest naval battles of the war, and the horrors of the Hiroshima atomic bombing. As a witness to World War II and its effects on the people and culture of Japan, this document--although cast as fiction--is a crucial reminder of the...

Murder on Trial: 1620-2002
ISBN: 9780791463789 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 287 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This fascinating collection examines murder jurisprudence--the social rules that govern the arrest, trial, and punishment of people accused of murder--in the United States from the colonial period to the present. The contributors show how changing social mores have influenced the application of murder law by highlighting the ways cultural biases like racism, changing ideas about childhood and insanity, and the ameliorative effects of middle class status and paternal imagery both helped and handicapped persons accused of murder. Such famous cases as the Lizzie Borden axe murder and African...

Semantic Cognition: A Parallel Distributed Processing Approach
ISBN: 9780262681575 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This groundbreaking monograph offers a mechanistic theory of the representation and use of semantic knowledge, integrating the strengths and overcoming many of the weaknesses of hierarchical, categorization-based approaches, similarity-based approaches, and the approach often called "theory theory." Building on earlier models by Geoffrey Hinton in the 1980s and David Rumelhart in the early 1990s, the authors propose that performance in semantic tasks arises through the propagation of graded signals in a system of interconnected processing units. The representations used in performing these...
