Jazz in American Culture
ISBN: 9781853312045 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 193 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This work is distinctive in looking at jazz both as a music and as a culture within the wider American context and in opening up the subject to the non-specialist.

It looks at the direct influence of jazz upon other arts and its more indirect influence as a cultural presence and source of meaning. It argues that jazz culture has provided an influential model in relation to a number of issues affecting...

Nothing to do with Islam?: Investigating the West's Most Dangerous Blind Spot
ISBN: 9781533336002 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. One of the most depressing realities of modern life is the regularity with which deadly attacks are carried out in the name of Islam. Almost as depressing are the invariable reassurances by Western political leaders and media elites that these acts of violence had "nothing to do with Islam." As part of these reassurances we will also regularly hear the terms Radical Islam, Islamism, Militant Islam, 'so-called' Islamic State (ISIS) and Jihadist bandied about as if people who act violently on behalf of Islam are somehow perverting the pristine teachings of the Muslim religion. Yet, niggling...

The Dark Side of Technology
ISBN: 9780198790532 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Technological progress comes with a Dark Side where good ideas and intentions produce undesirable results. The many and various unexpected outcomes of technology span humorous to bizarre, and even result in situations which threaten our survival. Development can be positive for some, but negative and isolating for others (e.g. older or poorer people). Progress is often transient, as faster electronics and computers dramatically shorten retention time of data and knowledge (e.g. documents, data, and photos will be unreadable within a generation). This is also destroying past languages and...

Jazz in American Culture
ISBN: 9781578063246 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The family of musical styles known as jazz came into being around 1900 as several popular black musical idioms coalesced. This free-flowing, spontaneous music based in improvisation emerged primarily from ragtime and the blues. But jazz did not remain solely in the domain of American music, for very quickly it swept through virtually all of the national culture as fiction, poetry, film, photography, painting, and classical music came under its spell. If it's art that expresses a nation's essence best, then jazz set America's tempo and afforded an artistic pattern for modernism. In this...
