Ecocritical Explorations in Literary and Cultural Studies: Fences, Boundaries, and Fields
ISBN: 9780739131749 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 230 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In Ecocritical Explorations, Patrick D. Murphy explores environmental literature and environmental cultural issues through both theoretical and applied criticism. He engages with the concepts of referentiality, simplicity, the nation state, and virtual reality in the first section of the book, and then goes on to interrogate these issues in contemporary environmental literature, both American and international. He concludes his argument with a discussion of the larger frames of family dynamics and un-natural disasters, such as hurricanes and global warming, ending with a chapter on the...

Unriddling the Exeter Riddles
ISBN: 9780271048413 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The vibrant and enigmatic Exeter Riddles (ca. 960-980) are among the most compelling texts in the field of medieval studies, in part because they lack textually supplied solutions. Indeed, these ninety-five Old English riddles have become so popular that they have even been featured on posters for the London Underground and have inspired a sculpture in downtown Exeter. Modern scholars have responded enthusiastically to the challenge of solving the Riddles, but have generally examined them individually. Few have considered the collection as a whole or in a broader context. In this book,...

Farther Afield in the Study of Nature-Oriented Literature
ISBN: 9780813919065 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the 1990s, the emerging field of ecocriticism--nature-sensitive literary studies--began to establish and define itself. Arguing that the field has matured to the point where it requires a thorough critique and new theoretical underpinnings, Patrick D. Murphy suggests a variety of ways ecocriticism can become more inclusive in its objects of study and more sophisticated in its methodologies. According to Murphy, ecocriticism in the United States has been too narrowly associated with the study of nonfiction. To broaden the field's purview, he proposes a new taxonomy that draws an...

The Media Commons: Globalization and Environmental Discourses
ISBN: 9780252041037 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Today's global media sustains a potent new environmental consciousness. Paradoxically, it also serves as a far-reaching platform that promotes the unsustainable consumption ravaging our planet. Patrick Murphy musters theory, fieldwork, and empirical research to map how the media communicates today's many distinct, competing, and even antagonistic environmental discourses. The media draws the cultural boundaries of our environmental imagination--and influences just who benefits. Murphy's analysis emphasizes social context, institutional alignments, and commercial media's ways of rendering...

Medieval Studies and the Ghost Stories of M. R. James
ISBN: 9780271077710 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Montague Rhodes James authored some of the most highly regarded ghost stories of all time--classics such as "Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad" that have been adapted many times over for radio and television and have never gone out of print. But while James is best known as a fiction writer and storyteller, he was also a provost of King's College, Cambridge, and Eton College, and a legendary and influential scholar whose pioneering work in the study of biblical texts and medieval manuscripts, art, and architecture is still relevant today. In Medieval Studies and the Ghost... Montague Rhodes James authored some of the most highly regarded ghost stories of all time--classics such as "Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My ... |

Literature, Nature, and Other: Ecofeminist Critiques
ISBN: 9780791422786 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The book first establishes a theoretical framework for conceptualizing environmental analysis.

Wasted: The Plight of America's Unwanted Children
ISBN: 9781566633338 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is a book about how a system designed to help children is instead helping to destroy them. For almost thirty years Patrick Murphy has represented abused and neglected children in court cases at every level of the state and federal judiciary, including the U.S. Supreme Court. He has labored in the trenches of the child welfare and juvenile justice systems. In Wasted, Mr. Murphy charges that the child welfare bureaucracy is stuck in hundred-year-old realities and the politics of the 1960s and 1970s. The concern of state agencies and the courts for family preservation, he argues, has now...

Mutiny and Its Bounty: Leadership Lessons from the Age of Discovery
ISBN: 9780300170283 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Violent mutiny was common in seafaring enterprises during the Age of Discovery--so common, in fact, that dealing with mutineers was an essential skill for captains and other leaders of the time. Mutinies in today's organizations are much quieter, more social and intellectual, and far less violent, yet the coordinated defiance of authority springs from dissatisfactions very similar to those of long-ago shipboard crews. This highly original book mines seafaring logs and other archives of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century ship captains and discovers instructive lessons for today's leaders facing...
