Tom hat sich längst damit abgefunden, dass er...

Walter Lippmann; A Critical Introduction to Media and Communication Theory
ISBN: 9781433111365 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 169 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Walter Lippmann has been widely misrepresented in media and communication scholarship. Classified as a utilitarian and characterized as an antidemocratic adversary of philosopher John Dewey in a legendary debate in the 1920s about the role of the public in modern democracies, Lippmann has been portrayed as the bete noir of the post-1980s revival of pragmatism and humanistic studies within the field. Consequently, his formative contributions to the field have not only been under-valued, but more importantly, the richness and continuing relevance of his generative work to the challenges of the...

Confucian Filial Piety as a Challenge for Korean and Asian Churches
ISBN: 9783659539633 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Confucian filial piety and ancestor worship have influenced on not only Korea but also Asian countries, specifically in China, Taiwan, and Japan as a common barrier to evangelism . The main difference between Confucian and biblical teachings on filial piety and ancestor worship is that Confucian filial piety was taught by Confucius, while the origins of biblical filial piety are rooted in the Old and New Testaments. The Bible teaches that filial piety is directed toward living parents, but Confucianism teaches that filial piety is to both living and dead parents. Confucianism teaches that...

Classical Dynamics and Its Quantum Analogues
ISBN: 9783642749247 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 333 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. The short Heroic Age of physics that started in 1925 was one of the rare occasions when a deep consideration of the question: What does physics really say? was necessary in carrying out numerical calculations. In many parts of microphysics the calculations have now become relatively straightforward if not easy, but most physicists seem to agree that some questions of principle remain to be resolved, even if they do not think it is very important to do so. This situation has affected the way people think and write about quantum mechanics, a gingerly approach to fundamentals and a tendency to...

The Long History of New Media; Technology, Historiography, and Contextualizing Newness
ISBN: 9781433114410 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. This volume examines the role of history in the study of new media and of newness itself, discussing how the 'new' in new media must be understood to be historically constructed. Furthermore, the new is constructed with an eye on the future, or more correctly, an eye on what we think the future will be.
Chapters by eminent scholars address the connection between historical consideration and new media. Some assess the historical descriptions of the development of new media; others hinge on the issue of newness as it relates to existing practices in media history. Remaining essays address...
