Divinity and Duality: Willard K. Willis on the Nature of Man
ISBN: 9781456403065 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This account of a fictional discourse is led by a mysterious gentleman named Willard K. Willis, who was asked by a discussion group to present his unorthodox view of life, which is both pragmatic and spiritual. Together, members of the group discuss the limitations of man, the nature of divinity, and the perception of good and bad. Early in the discussion, Willard uses the example of riding a bicycle to demonstrate that we don't really possess as much knowledge as we think we do; an unseen force knows how to correct a crash-course before man's awareness function has a chance to figure it out,...

Politics at the Edge: The Psa Yearbook 1999
ISBN: 9780333915622 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Politics at the Edge was the theme of the 1999 PSA Annual Conference. This volume brings together nearly twenty of the liveliest, most thoughtful and original papers from some two hundred presented at the conference. The major traditional strengths of British political science are well represented - with papers on parties, political theory and the history of political thought - but so too are less familiar areas such as the politics of Latin America and the politics of poststructuralism. Distinguished contributors include Agnes Heller, David Held, Mahdi Elmandjra, Andrew Dobson, Andrew...

Politics in Time: History, Institutions, and Social Analysis
ISBN: 9780691117157 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This groundbreaking book represents the most systematic examination to date of the often-invoked but rarely examined declaration that "history matters." Most contemporary social scientists unconsciously take a "snapshot" view of the social world. Yet the meaning of social events or processes is frequently distorted when they are ripped from their temporal context. Paul Pierson argues that placing politics in time--constructing "moving pictures" rather than snapshots--can vastly enrich our understanding of complex social dynamics, and greatly improve the theories and methods that we use to...

Hard Choices: Social Democracy in the Twenty-First Century
ISBN: 9780745619842 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. As the twenty-first century dawned, social democratic parties across Europe and beyond found themselves newly, and rather surprisingly, in the ascendant. Britain's New Labour was only the most spectacular in a whole series of political restorations. For many, this renewal only became possible when 'modernizing' social democratic parties jettisoned their old ideological and institutional baggage, setting off down a 'third way' that rejected the outmoded ideas of both left and right. The argument of Hard Choices is that this view is doubly misleading: it misrepresents the past and...

ISBN: 9781523367238 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Jesus, the original astrophysicist, spoke and demonstrated as one who understood and mastered the phenomena of life and the universe with its many dimensions. He revealed the metaphysical reality of our everyday life and opened doors of understanding that can make life a dynamic eternal experience. Pierson applies Jesus' wisdom to such questions as: Did Jesus really rise from the tomb? Did he really suffer on the cross? What does it mean to be a gay person? Where is heaven and hell? Why is life like a round of golf? What does quantum physics tell us? The Answers will surprise you and open...
