Destiny
ISBN: 9781456531843 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Who among us has never wondered whether our lives could be completely different? What exactly could we change, if we could? From the poetry of Robert Frost to the blockbuster cinema of "Back to the Future," the notion of "what if?" holds an almost obsessive fascination over us. Are we shaped by fate, or by conscious choice? "Destiny" is a series of three interrelated novellas that revolve around a single theme: Is it possible, as an act of will, for an individual to change what appears to be his or her fate? Can one deliberately modify the ingrained patterns of one's life, and thereby alter...

The Reenchantment of the World
ISBN: 9780801492259 / Angielski / Miękka / 1981 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) The Reenchantment of the World is a perceptive study of our scientific consciousness and a cogent and forceful challenge to its supremacy. Focusing on the rise of the mechanistic idea that we can know the natural world only by distancing ourselves from it, Berman shows how science acquired its controlling position in the consciousness of the West. He analyzes the holistic, animistic tradition destroyed in the wake of Scientific Revolution of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries which viewed man as a participant in the cosmos, not as an isolated observer. Arguing that the holistic world...

Wandering God: A Study in Nomadic Spirituality
ISBN: 9780791444429 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) The third book in Morris Berman's much acclaimed trilogy on the evolution of human consciousness, Wandering God continues his earlier work which garnered such praise as "solid lessons in the history of ideas" (KIRKUS Reviews), "filled with piquant details" (Common Boundary), and "an informative synthesis and a remarkably friendly, good-natured jeremiad" (The Village Voice). Here, in a remarkable discussion of our hunter-gatherer ancestry and the "paradoxical" mode of perception that it involved, Berman shows how a sense of alertness, or secular/sacred immediacy, subsequently got buried by the...

Dark Ages America: The Final Phase of Empire
ISBN: 9780393329773 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 402 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) In Dark Ages America, the pundit Morris Berman argues that the nation has entered a dangerous phase in its historical development from which there is no return. As the corporate-consumerist juggernaut that now defines the nation rolls on, the very factors that once propelled America to greatness extreme individualism, territorial and economic expansion, and the pursuit of material wealth are, paradoxically, the nails in our collective coffin. Within a few decades, Berman argues, the United States will be marginalized on the world stage, its hegemony replaced by China or the European Union....
