ISBN: 9780992548742 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The daily robbing, bashing, drugging, extortion and murder of foreign tourists on Thai soil, along with numerous scandals involving unsafe facilities and well established scams, has led to frequent predictions that Thailands multi-billion dollar tourist industry will self-destruct.

ISBN: 9780804798693 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Historical novels can be windows into other cultures and eras, but it's not always clear what's fact and what's fiction. Thousands have read Ba Jin's influential novel Family, but few realize how much he shaped his depiction of 1920s China to suit his story and his politics. In Fact in Fiction, Kristin Stapleton puts Ba Jin's bestseller into full historical context, both to illustrate how it successfully portrays human experiences during the 1920s and to reveal its historical distortions. Stapleton's attention to historical evidence and clear prose that directly addresses themes...

Justice and World Society
ISBN: 9781469612157 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 158 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Explores the universal ideal of justice, known to many generations as the "laws of nature". The universal ideal of justice was conceived with insufficient realism when it was thought to furnish a law known to all, rather than a standard for justice. The book argues not for a revival of the law of nature but for a renewal of belief in the universality of "justice". Originally published in 1944.

African Police and Soldiers in Colonial Zimbabwe, 1923-80
ISBN: 9781580463805 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Making use of archival documents, period newspapers, and oral interviews, African Police and Soldiers in Colonial Zimbabwe, 1923-80 examines the ambiguous experience of black security personnel, police, and soldiers in white-ruled Southern Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) from 1923 through independence and majority rule in 1980. Across the continent, European colonial rule could not have been maintained without African participation in the police and army. In Southern Rhodesia, lack of white manpower meant that despite fear of mutiny, blacks played an increasingly prominent role in law enforcement and...

Englishness and the Study of Politics
ISBN: 9780521461252 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The definition of "Englishness" has become the subject of considerable debate, and in this important contribution to Ideas in Context Julia Stapleton looks at the work of one of its most wide-ranging and influential theorists, Ernest Barker. Infused with a strong cultural sense of nationhood, Barker's writings influenced a broad nonacademic audience, and their subsequent neglect graphically demonstrates the fate of a certain vision of Liberal England in the generation after World War One. With, however, the erosion of a particular sense of Englishness, Barker's ideas have begun to assume...
