The Composite Bow
ISBN: 9781472805911 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. An ancient design, emerging from Central Asia in the second millennium B.C., the composite bow was adopted by a staggering variety of cultures, from nomadic tribal peoples such as the Huns, Turks, and Mongols, to mighty empires such as the Romans, Byzantines, Persians, Arabs, and Chinese. Offering high power and portability, the composite bow was an ideal cavalry weapon, though it was also used by infantry in open battle, and as a siege weapon. In this important study, an expert on Eastern military technology tells the story of this extraordinary piece of military hardware: how it was made...

ISBN: 9781853117121 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Austin Farrer was part of the mid-20th century group of 'Oxford Christians', which included C S Lewis, J R R Tolkien, and Dorothy Sayers.

This title provides an introduction to the life and writings of Farrer.

He That Should Come: A Nativity Play in One Act
ISBN: 9781610970228 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this first of her plays for religious broadcasting, a nativity play, Dorothy L. Sayers wanted to convince listeners of the truth that Christ was born into our deeply problematic world, in his case, in territory overrun by an army of occupation. Although framed as it were by the voices of the three 'wise men' asking whether the birth of a particular child could possibly fulfil their desires, the focus of the play is on the conflict of opinion (about roads, taxes, and so forth) expressed by those in the courtyard of the inn at Bethlehem. Joseph is given a most significant role, and it is the...

The Emperor Constantine
ISBN: 9781610970211 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A brief Prologue by the Church introduces the career of Constantine (from AD 305-337) with scenes from the empires of both west and east, concentrating on Constantines progress to imperial power and inevitably in religious belief. He discovers Christ to be the God who has made him his earthly vice-regent as single Emperor. Summoning the Council of Nicaea in 325, an invigorating debate results in the acceptance of Constantines formula that Christ is of one substance with God. The implications of the Creed of Nicaea are revealed in the last part of the play in which it is Constantines mother,...

The Man Born to Be King: A Play-Cycle on the Life of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ
ISBN: 9781610975490 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 366 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In twelve plays for broadcasting at monthly intervals, Dorothy L. Sayers drew on material from all four Gospels, keeping the theme of Jesus of Nazareth's divine kingship in focus throughout, while locating him firmly in the social and political context of his time. The first half cover episodes that precede the final journey to Jerusalem and the latter half primarily deal with Passion Week themes. It is the simplicity and profundity of Jesus' words in the Fourth Gospel especially that Sayers drew on in her own writing for the "voice" of Jesus "on air." The plays gave her an opportunity to...

The Just Vengeance: The Lichfield Festival Play for 1946
ISBN: 9781610970242 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 102 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this play, Dorothy L. Sayers addressed the crimes and problems of human life, especially those of the victors in war, in an entirely novel way, by precipitating an airman in the very moment of his death back into the company of citizens of the "City," in this case, Lichfield. The citizens range from Adam and Eve (Adam himself the inventor of the axe which kills Abel) together with other biblical characters in the history of redemption brought to new life as members of the City (e.g., Judas is a common informer). Others bear burdens of shame, toil, fear, poverty, and ingratitude. Former...

Elizabethan Naval Administration
ISBN: 9781409463412 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 824 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is the first general selection from the substantial body of surviving documents about Elizabeth's navy. It is a companion to The Navy of Edward VI and Mary I (Vol.157 in the NRS Series), where the apparatus serving both volumes was printed, and it complements the other NRS volumes that deal specifically with the Spanish Armada. This collection concentrates (though not exclusively so) on the early years of Elizabeth's reign when there was no formal war. From 1558-1585 the navy was involved in a number of small-scale campaigns, pursuit of pirates and occasional shows of force. The...

John Dudley, Duke of Northumberland 1504-1553
ISBN: 9780198201939 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This biography presents the whole career of the controversial sixteenth century statesman, John Dudley. As Lord President of the council which governed Edward VI's minority, he was the most powerful man in England between 1550 and 1553, notorious for his attempt to alter the succession to the throne in favour of his daughter-in-law, Lady Jane Grey. This is a critical reassessment of a man who was the last medieval magnate and perhaps the greatest of the Tudor service nobility.

The Scandal of Sacramentality
ISBN: 9781498265553 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The sacrament par excellence, the Eucharist, has been upheld as the foundational sacrament of Christ's Body called Church, yet it has confounded Christian thinking and practice throughout history. Its symbolism points to the paradox of the incarnation, death, and resurrection of God in Jesus of Nazareth, which St. Paul describes as a stumbling-block (skandalon). Yet the scandal of sacramentality, not only illustrated by but enacted in the Eucharist, has not been sufficiently accounted for in the ecclesiologies and sacramental theologies of the Christian tradition. Despite what appears to be...
