Collecting American Presidential Autographs: Paul C. Richards' The Presidents of the United States of America
ISBN: 9780944285756 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The collecting of autographs of American presidents is done with a passion that is not found about similar figures in other countries. Canadian prime ministers or Finnish presidents are not the focus of hobbyists. The enthusiasm of getting a set of presidential signatures is something of a comment on the energetic American historical emphasis on the country's chief executives. Even in George Washington's time there were forgers who allegedly would produce a Washington letter for a drink at a tavern, so the authenticity of Presidents is a subject marked by intrigue and misadventure. Paul C....

The Man who Killed President Garfield: George H. Herbert's Guiteau, the Assassin
ISBN: 9780944285831 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 784 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The assassination of President James Garfield has been variously blamed for the decline of the Utopian Oneida community where the murderer once lived, the reform of the American civil service by shocked legislators who noted that the motive seemed to be a legitimate denial of political patronage, and the movement for sterile operating conditions in light of the damage done by surgeons probing with dirty hands for the fatal bullet. The fascination continues in a killing that is a classic case of stalking and paranoia.

Gunboat and Gun-runner
ISBN: 9781935907404 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 402 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Admiral T.T. Jeans was a decorated British Naval officer with considerable experience in the Middle East. He wrote this fast-moving novel based on his experiences and those of his compatriots. The plot turns on efforts of Iran to stir trouble by providing arms to Middle Easter insurgents. While published in 1927, it could as well have been written about arms smuggling in the 21st century, which makes policing the waters of the Gulf a present priority.

Earthworms, Horses, and Living Things: William DuPuy's Our Animal Friends and Foes
ISBN: 9780944285985 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. William Atherton DuPuy was a well-known naturalist who wrote anecdotally and personally about nature in ANIMAL FRIENDS AND FOES, INSECT FRIENDS AND FOES, THE NATION'S FORESTS, and PLANT FRIENDS AND FOES. In another vein he authored GREEN KINGDOM, his account of the life of a forest ranger, and controversially produced HAWAII AND ITS RACE PROBLEM. He also wrote for Harper's and had a connection with the Department of the Interior and, less happily, with the military's chemical warfare projects.

Que los dibujos sean de la vida en Mexico no es sorprendente porque Juarez esta con stante y a veces traviesamente poniendo arte en la vida y obteniendo arte de la vida. No piensa que el arte sea algo que se produzca solamente en un estudio, o para tal caso, que deba ser mantenido en un museo y visto los domingos. Toma un plato en la cena y traza un boceto en el. Ve un espacio cercano a un area esco lar de juegos y quiere hacer una escultura que lo ocupe para que los ninos puedan jugar en ella. De manera importante, sus bocetos en este libro reflejan, como lo hacen sus esculturas, no solo su...

Crime 3.0: The Rise of Global Crime in the XXIst Century
ISBN: 9781935907664 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Alain Bauer argues that we need, with considerable immediacy, to press the formal study of crime in the academy, and that more resources need to be channeled towards that purpose. The approach in universities, if they do deign to study the subject, is often relegated to adjuncts and regarded by the more established departments with disdain. Given the prejudices of conventional scholars towards the subject, it is no wonder that the response to crime has been inept, and grows increasingly inadequate, considering the highly adaptive nature of crime and its implications in a globalized world in...

The Genius of Freemasonry: Williams B. Clarke's Leaves From Georgia Masonry
ISBN: 9780944285770 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The reader with a curiosity about the secrets of Freemasonry is confronted with a vast and eccentric literature, much of which is highly fanciful and often completely fictional. Finding books that have their feet on the ground, so to speak, is not easy. This is one, solid and truthful, and a good starting place for the curious who wonder about the world's most celebrated discrete society.

Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior In Company and Conversation: Revolutionary Civility
ISBN: 9781935907596 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 102 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. There was a time when how to use finger bowls and napkin rings was part of education. In dispensing with archaic manners, we seem to have also dispensed with the common sense sensitivity that among other advantages made possible political discourse without viciousness. Decorum has been jettisoned, often with the excuse that the times are different. The end result has been stress instead of kindness, the evaporation of care and consideration, and gross inefficiency in solving problems rather than any alleged streamlined savings. The quality of our political life has deteriorated and the upshot...

A Definitive Commentary on Bookplates: Edward Gordon Craig's Nothing, or The Bookplate
ISBN: 9780944285848 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 68 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Edward Gordon Craig was an artist philosopher whose daring stage sets were many years ahead of their time and whose theories about the use of masks in theater remain startling even today. His work with bookplates is too little remembered, but the designs are a wonderful introduction to his aesthetic theories and his experiments with light and shadow, as this unique volume illustrates.

Social Satire and the Modern Novel: Arnold Bennett's Buried Alive
ISBN: 9781935907022 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Arnold Bennett wrote thirty novels but has been somewhat neglected by modern critics. He was ahead of his time in appreciating Joyce, Lawrence, Faulkner and Hemingway. His work is characterized by social irony without bitterness, and satire without nastiness. As this novel suggests, perhaps he has more in common with E.M. Forster than has been realized.

James Martineau and Rebuilding Theology: J. Estlin Carpenter's James Martineau, Theologian and Teacher
ISBN: 9780944285794 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 622 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. James Martineau was for more than four decades a professor in what is now Oxford's Harris Manchester College. His theology integrates the very personal in religious experience with the transcendent and seeks to infuse daily living with the sense of divinity. He retained a sense of awe which rationalism sometimes excludes, and in some ways anticipated Albert Schweitzer's ideas of reverence for life. Notably, Schweitzer also had connections with Harris Manchester.
