Infections and Inequalities: The Modern Plagues
ISBN: 9780520229136 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Paul Farmer has battled AIDS in rural Haiti and deadly strains of drug-resistant tuberculosis in the slums of Peru. A physician-anthropologist with more than fifteen years in the field, Farmer writes from the front lines of the war against these modern plagues and shows why, even more than those of history, they target the poor. This "peculiarly modern inequality" that permeates AIDS, TB, malaria, and typhoid in the modern world, and that feeds emerging (or re-emerging) infectious diseases such as Ebola and cholera, is laid bare in Farmer's harrowing stories of sickness and suffering....

Arc of Interference: Medical Anthropology for Worlds on Edge
ISBN: 9781478017097 / Angielski / Twarda / 2023 / 408 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The radically humanistic essays in Arc of Interference refigure our sense of the real, the ethical, and the political in the face of mounting social and planetary upheavals. Creatively assembled around Arthur Kleinman’s medical anthropological arc and eschewing hegemonic modes of intervention, the essays advance the notion of a care-ful ethnographic praxis of interference. To interfere is to dislodge ideals of naturalness, blast enduring binaries (human/nonhuman, self/other, us/them), and redirect technocratic agendas while summoning relational knowledge and the will to create community....

EC Tax Law
ISBN: 9780198257646 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 394 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Tax law and fiscal policy are subjects which are generally considered to be close to the heart of the Single European Market, yet because of the complexity of EC tax law few have attempted to grapple with its multifarious difficulties. There is, strangely, little literature on the subject. This new book by two experienced EC lawyers fills that gap by examining in some detail the various tax regimes affecting the Community and uncovers the links between policy and law-making in a way which will give all readers a firm understanding of the principles of EC tax law.
