Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) This is the third volume in Lewis Mumford's superb "Renewal of Life" series, which also contains Technics and Civilazation, The Culture of Cities, and The Conduct of Life. The present book explores the historic development of the personality and the community.

Technics and Civilization
ISBN: 9780226550275 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Technics and Civilization first presented its compelling history of the machine and critical study of its effects on civilization in 1934 before television, the personal computer, and the Internet even appeared on our periphery. Drawing upon art, science, philosophy, and the history of culture, Lewis Mumford explained the origin of the machine age and traced its social results, asserting that the development of modern technology had its roots in the Middle Ages rather than the Industrial Revolution. Mumford sagely argued that it was the moral, economic, and political choices...

The Ecological Basis of Planning
ISBN: 9789024711932 / Angielski / Miękka / 1972 / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. When Artur Glikson died in July 1966 he was still comparatively unknown; yet paradoxically he had an international reputation that went beyond town planning and architectural circles. As far back as 1955, when he was forty four years old, he was an active participant in the notable Wenner-Gren Conference on "Man's Role in Changing the Face of the Earth," where he presented the first paper in the present book. Seven years later he was the only nonscientist represented in the even more selective Ciba Foundation conference on Man and his Future. Though Glikson attended many other important...
