Tilted Cup: The Cahier Series 22
ISBN: 9781909631021 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 44 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Paul Griffiths's The Tilted Cup effects a multilayered translation, taking a series of eleven Japanese Noh plays and turning them into stories in English. The reader will encounter spirit-beings set free, lovers lost and found, dreams and desires fulfilled, lessons learned from nature, and always a longing for the infinite, as the long, slow drama of each Noh play is transformed into a short and moving tale. Interspersed and contrasting with the stories are ten photographs of contemporary Japan by John L. Tran that further explore the relation between theatricality and narrative, while...

The Sea on Fire: Jean Barraqué
ISBN: 9781580461412 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Jean Barraque is increasingly being recognized as one of the great composers of the second half of the 20th century. Though he left only seven works, his voice in each of them is unmistakeable, and powerful. He had no doubt of his responsibility, as a creator, to take his listeners on challenging adventures that could not but leave them changed. After the collapse of morality he had witnessed as a child growing up during the Second World War, and having taken notice of so much disarray in the culture around him, he set himself to make music that would, out of chaos, speak. Three others were...

Medical progress is laden with red tape and other obstacles, including the need to provide profits for the pharmaceutical industry. This factional story weaves authentic scientific information into the lives of fictitious characters to give a topical example.

An Apology for Apologetics
ISBN: 9781556357312 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Description: An Apology for Apologetics argues that a vigorous apologetics is a vital component of any sound effort at interreligious dialogue. Griffiths shows that a spirited defense of each religious tradition must be made by people who are both committed to their "truth" and open to serious criticisms by members of other faith traditions. He demonstrates why and how such a recognition of the necessity of interreligious apologetics (the "NOIA principle") runs counter to the underlying presuppositions of many proponents of interreligious dialogue. Griffiths raises the specter of an...

Igor Stravinsky, the Rake's Progress
ISBN: 9780521281997 / Angielski / Miękka / 1982 / 124 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Rake's Progress is Stravinsky's biggest work and one of the few great operas written since the 1920s, rare too for the unusual quality of its libretto, by Auden and Kallman. Its importance is undisputed, but so too are the problems it raises: problems of both performance and understanding, caused by the irony with which it is so thoroughly permeated. In aspects of style and operatic convention it looks back to the eighteenth century, and in particular to the operas of Mozart and da Ponte, while making references also to other periods, to operas from Monteverdi to Verdi. Yet at the same...

Religious Reading: The Place of Reading in the Practice of Religion
ISBN: 9780195125771 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What social conditions and intellectual practices are necessary in order for religious cultures to flourish? Paul Griffiths finds the answer in "religious reading" --- the kind of reading in which a religious believer allows his mind to be furnished and his heart instructed by a sacred text, understood in the light of an authoritative tradition. He favorably contrasts the practices and pedagogies of traditional religious cultures with those of our own fragmented and secularized culture and insists that religious reading should be preserved.

This collection stretches from whipping to the gallows, and from the first houses of correction to penitentiaries. Punishment provides a striking way to examine the development of culture and society through time. These studies of penal practice explore violence, cruelty and shame, while offering challenging new perspectives on the timing of the decline of public punishment, the rise of imprisonment and reforms of the capital code.

Modern Music and After
ISBN: 9780199740505 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Over three decades, Paul Griffiths's survey has remained the definitive study of music since the Second World War; this fully revised and updated edition re-establishes Modern Music and After as the preeminent introduction to the music of our time. The disruptions of the war, and the struggles of the ensuing peace, were reflected in the music of the time: in Pierre Boulez's radical reformation of compositional technique and in John Cage's development of zen music; in Milton Babbitt's settling of the serial system and in Dmitry Shostakovich's unsettling symphonies; in Karlheinz...

Intellectual Appetite a Theological Grammar
ISBN: 9780813216867 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The appetite for knowledge--wanting to know things--is very strong in humans. Some will sacrifice all other goods (sex, power, food, life itself) for it. But this is not a simple appetite, and this book treats some of its complications, deformations, beauties, and intensities. Christian thinkers have traditionally distinguished between good and bad forms of the appetite for knowledge, calling the good ""studiousness"" and the bad ""curiosity."" The former is aimed at joyful contemplation of what can be known as gift given; the latter seeks ownership and control of what can be known as...

Genetics and Philosophy: An Introduction
ISBN: 9780521173902 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In the past century, nearly all of the biological sciences have been directly affected by discoveries and developments in genetics, a fast-evolving subject with important theoretical dimensions. In this rich and accessible book, Paul Griffiths and Karola Stotz show how the concept of the gene has evolved and diversified across the many fields that make up modern biology. By examining the molecular biology of the 'environment', they situate genetics in the developmental biology of whole organisms, and reveal how the molecular biosciences have undermined the nature/nurture distinction. Their...
