Fragments from a Land of Freedom: Essays in American Culture around the Year 2000
ISBN: 9780979448898 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book covers the USA around 2000 through the lens of cultural studies: books, events, exhibitions, and places of learning are seen as mirrors of an affluent, self-sufficient, at least apparently harmonic society just before the collapse of the markets and the 9/11 tragedy.

This book explores movies, from Spike Lee's to Stanley Kubrick's; cities, from Atlantic City to Philadelphia; minorities, from...

Carradori's instructions are vital to understanding the art and craft of sculpting as they were practiced before the twentieth century, since little substantial material exists that demonstrates, in an informed, didactic manner, the various tools and techniques used by ancient sculptors to execute work, Carradori's work is the most comprehensive and instructive and...
