The Nature of Creation : Examining the Bible and Science
ISBN: 9781844657247 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. It is generally assumed that science and religion are at war. Many now claim that science has made religious belief redundant; others have turned to a literalist interpretation of biblical creation to reject or revise science; others try to resolve Darwin with Genesis. "The Nature of Creation" addresses this complex debate by engaging with both modern science and biblical scholarship together. Creation is central to Christian theology and the Bible, and has become the chosen battleground for scientists, atheists and creationists alike. "The Nature of Creation" presents a sustained historical...

By the time Nate Fisher was laid to rest in a woodland grave sans coffin in the final season of Six Feet Under, Americans all across the country were starting to look outside the box when death came calling.

After his...

The A to Z of Unitarian Universalism
ISBN: 9780810868175 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 616 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Small though it may be, Unitarian Universalism has had a big impact not only on its members but also on the world around it. Rejecting the constraints of other Christian denominations, it sought tolerance for itself and, surprisingly, freely granted tolerance to others. Evolving in its principles and practices over a relatively short lifetime, it shows every sign of developing further, reaching beyond Christianity to embrace what is good in other, more diverse religions. Unitarian Universalism has also regularly been at the forefront in fighting for social causes, including abolition,...

ISBN: 9780521707718 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 257 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. How is a free faith expressed, organised and governed?

Harris challenge the view that the Unitarianism of New England is indigenous and the point from which the religion spread. Relationships between Polish radicals and the English Dissenters existed, and the English radicals profoundly...

Life on the Amazon: The Anthropology of a Brazilian Peasant Village
ISBN: 9780197262399 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. An innovative contribution to anthropology's interest in how identity is created and defined, this book uses two forms of ethnographic writing to explore the historical and social identity of a village on the banks of the Amazon River. He intersperses his analytical chapters with narrative sections that describe what the people do and how they do it. He thus moves beyond notions of identity that define themselves in collective, ethnic, or class terms by focusing on people's practical engagement with their environment.

Rebellion on the Amazon
ISBN: 9780521437233 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Brazilian Amazon experienced, in the late 1830s, one of Brazil s largest peasant and urban-poor insurrections, known as the Cabanagem. Uniquely, rebels succeeded in controlling provincial government and town councils for more than a year. In this first book-length study in English, the rebellion is placed in the context of late colonial and early national society and economy.

Using unpublished documentation, it reveals contrary to other studies that...
