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...

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...

On Being Buddha: The Classical Doctrine of Buddhahood
ISBN: 9780791421284 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. What is it like to be a Buddha? Is there only one Buddha or are there many? What can Buddhas do and what do they know? Is there anything they cannot do and cannot know? These and associated questions were much discussed by Buddhist thinkers in India, and a complex and subtle set of doctrinal positions was developed to deal with them. This is the first book in a western language to treat these doctrines about Buddha from a philosophical and thoroughly critical viewpoint. The book shows that Buddhist thinkers were driven, when theorizing about Buddha, by a basic intuition that Buddha must...
