ISBN: 9781526146113 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This edited collection brings together literary scholars and art historians, and maps how satire became a less genre-driven and increasingly visual medium in the seventeenth through the early nineteenth century. Changing satire demonstrates how satire proliferated in various formats, and discusses a wide range of material from canonical authors like Swift to little known manuscript sources and prints. As the book emphasises, satire was a frame of reference for well-known authors and artists ranging from Milton to Bernini and Goya. It was moreover a broad European phenomenon: while the book...

ISBN: 9781498422987 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. What do pineapples, sunflowers, star fish, pinecones, snails, pedals on many flowers, a nautilus shell, and the family tree of honeybees all have in common? All of these things, as well as others, possess a mysterious numerical pattern known as the Fibonacci Sequence. Even bones in the human hand and the shape of an ear follow this numerical pattern. An ordered system of numbers permeates and is embedded in the universe. In fact if there is no order with numbers, no times, dates, or years our society would descend into chaos. The number system is inherent to our understanding of the world...

The Eusebian Canon Tables: Ordering Textual Knowledge in Late Antiquity
ISBN: 9780198802600 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. One of the books most central to late-antique religious life was the four-gospel codex, containing the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. A common feature in such manuscripts was a marginal cross-referencing system known as the Canon Tables. This reading aid was invented in the early fourth century by Eusebius of Caesarea and represented a milestone achievement both in the history of the book and in the scholarly study of the fourfold gospel. In this work, Matthew R. Crawford provides the first book-length treatment of the origins and use of the Canon Tables apparatus in any language....

Possessing the City: Property and Politics in Delhi, 1911-1947
ISBN: 9780198848752 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Possessing the City is a social history of the property market in late-colonial Delhi; a period of much turbulence and transformation. It argues that historians of South Asian cities must connect transformations in urban space with the economy of the city. Using new archival material, Anish Vanaik outlines the place of private property development in Delhi's economy from 1911 to 1947. Rather than large-scale state initiatives, like the Delhi Improvement Trust, it was profit-oriented, decentralised, and market-based initiatives of urban construction that created the Delhi cityscape. This...

A Cultural History of Theatre in the Age of Enlightenment
ISBN: 9781472585752 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. French philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau wrote, 'the general effect of the theatre is to strengthen the national character to augment the national inclinations, and to give a new energy to all the passions'. During the Enlightenment, the advancement of radical ideas along with the emergence of the bourgeois class contributed to a renewed interest in theatre's efficacy, informed by philosophy yet on behalf of politics. While the 18th century saw a growing desire to define the unique and specific features of a nation's drama, and audiences demanded more realistic portrayals of humanity, theatre...

Freaks of Nature: What Anomalies Tell Us about Development and Evolution
ISBN: 9780195322828 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In most respects, Abigail and Brittany Hensel are normal American twins. Born and raised in a small town, they enjoy a close relationship, though each has her own tastes and personality. But the Hensels also share a body. Their two heads sit side-by-side on a single torso, with two arms and two legs. They have not only survived, but have developed into athletic, graceful young women. And that, writes Mark S. Blumberg, opens an extraordinary window onto human development and evolution. In Freaks of Nature, Blumberg turns a scientist's eye on the oddities of nature, showing how a...
