A Voyage to Terra Australis
ISBN: 9788028358907 / Angielski / Miękka / 540 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. A Voyage to Terra Australis is a two-volume sea voyage journal written by English mariner and explorer Matthew Flinders. It describes his circumnavigation of the Australian continent in the early years of the 19th century, and his imprisonment by the French on the island of Mauritius from 1804-1810. The book tells in great detail of his explorations and included maps and drawings of the profiles of unknown coastline areas of what Flinders called "Terra Australis Incognita". By this, he was referring to the great unknown Southern continent that had been sighted and partly mapped by prominent...

Die Entdeckungsreise nach Australien
ISBN: 9783737400756 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Nachdem Matthew Flinders zusammen mit George Bass bereits Tasmanien umrundet hatte, stach der Brite am 18. Juli 1801 erneut in See und erreichte am 6. Dezember die Küste Australiens. Doch die geplante Umsegelung und Kartierung des abgelegenen Erdteils ist ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit, denn sein Schiff verkommt unaufhaltbar, und die französische Konkurrenz ist ihm dicht auf den Fersen. Entgegen aller Vernunft trotzt Flinders den zahlreichen Gefahren, erhält ab 1802 nach einem tragischen Unglück, bei dem acht Besatzungsmitglieder ihr Leben verlieren, das Kommando der HMS Investigator, das er...

What Kind of Democracy Is This?: Politics in a Changing World
ISBN: 9781447337621 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Has there ever been a period in modern history when democratic politics seemed more unpredictable or unruly? In the face of a set of global challenges almost beyond control or comprehension, the old rules by which politics were once both ordered and understood have waned. Very few voices exist to help us comprehend these challenges--commentators who can run the gamut from democracy to disgust, from the micro to the macro, and from love to loathing. And yet this is exactly what Matt Flinders delivers in this book, expertly ranging across topics as diverse as architecture, art, mountain...

A Voyage to Terra Australis: Volume 1
ISBN: 9781849025652 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 454 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. When Matthew Flinders set out in 1801 to carry out a 'complete examination and survey' of the coast of New Holland, little did he know that he would be away for over ten years. Although he did not coin the term 'Australia' he keenly advocated its use, rather than the clumsy 'Terra Australis' and will always be associated with its adoption. As well as his meticulous surveys and maps, he made many observations on ship-board life, flora and fauna, and the appearance and customs of the native peoples he encountered. Volume 1 starts with a thorough review of previous exploratory voyages to the...

Defending Politics: Why Democracy Matters in the Twenty-First Century
ISBN: 9780199644421 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Citizens around the world have become distrustful of politicians, skeptical about democratic institutions, and disillusioned about the capacity of democratic politics to resolve pressing social concerns. Many feel as if something has gone seriously wrong with democracy. Those sentiments are especially high in the U.S. as the 2012 election draws closer. In 2008, President Barack Obama ran--and won--on a promise of hope and change for a better country. Four years later, that dream for hope and change seems to be waning by the minute. Instead, disillusionment grows with the Obama adminstration's...

Delegated Governance and the British State: Walking Without Order
ISBN: 9780199271603 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The delegation of functions and responsibilities to quasi-autonomous bodies operating with a significant degree of autonomy arguably empowers governments to address a wide range of social issues simultaneously without having to be involved with the minutiae of day-to-day socio-political interactions. Delegation therefore provides a structural and esoteric capacity beyond the cognitive and physical limits of politicians. There is nothing wrong with delegation as such. The problem relates to the failure to manage delegation in Britain. And yet we actually know very little about how the state...

Democratic Drift: Majoritarian Modification and Democratic Anomie in the United Kingdom
ISBN: 9780199271597 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 325 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Although there is no doubt that the constitution has been significantly reformed since the election of New Labour in 1997 the degree to which these reforms have altered the nature of democracy in the United Kingdom remains highly contested. A major problem within this debate is that it has become polarized around a binary distinction between power-sharing and power-hoarding models of democracy when the contemporary situation is actually far more complex. This book draws upon theories and methods from comparative political analysis in order to argue and then demonstrate three central and...

ISBN: 9781108018197 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 630 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the early nineteenth century, Australia remained largely uncharted, and doubt prevailed as to its unity as a continent. The 1801 expedition led by English mariner and cartographer Matthew Flinders (1774 1814), was groundbreaking in this respect. Flinders' charting of the Australian coastline provided the first complete map outlining the continent, and his influence was decisive in changing its name from Terra Australis to Australia - a term 'more agreeable to the ear'. Structured around daily geographical and astronomical observations, Flinders' journals - published in 1814, the day before...

The Oxford Handbook of British Politics
ISBN: 9780199604449 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 1008 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The study of British politics has been reinvigorated in recent years as a generation of new scholars seeks to build-upon a distinct disciplinary heritage while also exploring new empirical territory, and finds much support and encouragement from previous generations in forging new grounds in relation to theory and methods. It is in this context that The Oxford Handbook of British Politics has been conceived. The central ambition of the Handbook is not just to illustrate both the breadth and depth of scholarship that is to be found within the field. It also seeks to demonstrate the vibrancy...
