ISBN: 9780195140446 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) The annual festivals that are central to the south Indian religious tradition are among the largest religious gatherings found anywhere in the world.

To an observer, the activities of a festival may seem chaotic, but the participants consider the activities the ritual focus of a distinct religious experience, and frequently testify that it is in the activity of a festival that they find their most profound sense of religious...

New Homelands: Hindu Communities in Mauritius, Guyana, Trinidad, South Africa, Fiji, and East Africa
ISBN: 9780195391640 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) When the colonial slave trade, and then slavery itself, were abolished early in the 19th century, the British empire brazenly set up a new system of trade using Indian rather than African laborers. The new system of "indentured" labor was supposed to be different from slavery because the indenture, or contract, was written for an initial period of five years and involved fixed wages and some specified conditions of work. From the workers' point of view, the one redeeming feature of the system was that most of their workmates spoke their language and came from the same area of India. Because...

Mine Water: Hydrology, Pollution, Remediation
ISBN: 9781402001383 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 442 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Nowhere is the conflict between economic progress and environmental quality more apparent than in the mineral extraction industries. The latter half of the 20th century saw major advances in the reclamation technologies. However, mine water pollution problems have not been addressed. In many cases, polluted mine water long outlives the life of the mining operation. As the true cost of long-term water treatment responsibilities has become apparent, interest has grown in the technologies that would decrease the production of contaminated water and make its treatment less costly. This is the...

Geothermal Energy: Delivering on the Global Potential
ISBN: 9783038421337 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 430 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) After decades of being largely the preserve of countries in volcanic regions, the use of geothermal energy--for both heat and power applications--is now expanding worldwide. This reflects its excellent low-carbon credentials and its ability to offer baseload and dispatchable output - rare amongst the mainstream renewables. Yet uptake of geothermal still lags behind that of solar and wind, principally because of (i) uncertainties over resource availability in poorly-explored reservoirs and (ii) the concentration of full-lifetime costs into early-stage capital expenditure (capex). Recent... After decades of being largely the preserve of countries in volcanic regions, the use of geothermal energy--for both heat and power applications--i... |

Imperium and Cosmos : Augustus and the Northern Campus Martius
ISBN: 9780299220105 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) Caesar Augustus promoted a modest image of himself as the first among equals (princeps), a characterization that was as popular with the ancient Romans as it is with many scholars today. Paul Rehak argues against this impression of humility and suggests that, like the monarchs of the Hellenistic age, Augustus sought immortality an eternal glory gained through deliberate planning for his niche in history while flexing his existing power. Imperium and Cosmos focuses on Augustus s Mausoleum and Ustrinum (site of his cremation), the Horologium-Solarium (a colossal sundial), and the Ara...
