ISBN: 9783838343204 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Northwest China has been considered a backward region, with a large and diverse geography, populated with a number of Chinas minority nationalities. As a result it faces interesting challenges for education and modernization. In response, the Chinese government has committed large amounts of money and resources to fund the Western Region Development Program. As the Radio and Television Universities (RTVUs) are the premier provider of distance education within China and one of the largest in the world, how the RTVUs are endeavouring to engage in the development of the western regions is worthy...

ISBN: 9780192862167 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. How old is the universe? What do the atoms in our bodies, our very existence, tell us about the history of the universe? How do galaxies form? Michael Rowan-Robinson answers these questions and encapsulates all that modern astronomy has discovered about the universe around nine numbers, only one of which is known with real precision, and four not at all.

Hidden Holiness
ISBN: 9780268038939 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In "Hidden Holiness," Michael Plekon challenges us to examine the concept of holiness. He argues that both Orthodox and Catholic churches understand saints to be individuals whose lives and deeds are unusual, extraordinary, or miraculous. Such a requirement for sainthood undermines, in his view, one of the basic messages of Christianity: that all people are called to holiness.Instead of focusing on the ecclesiastical process of recognizing saints, Plekon explores a more ordinary and less noticeable "hidden" holiness, one founded on the calling of all to be prophets and priests and...
