Theories of Development
ISBN: 9780415853101 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Dr Preston's book, first published in 1982, presents a critical history of development studies since the Second World War, linking the recent, neo-Marxist, debate with the whole tradition in the field, going back to the work of economists like Arthur Lewis. He identifies a series of 'schools' and evaluates their contribution, supplying in each case a careful analysis, informed by the sociology of knowledge, of the work of its leading theorists. His final assessment draws on the critical theory of Habermas, arguing that social theorising is essentially practical; a matter of...

ISBN: 9780415756372 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 351 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. 'The expression of human experience it embodies ...includes all personal history'. Saul Bellow's view of the city is far from that of classic geographical descriptions which look at growth or decline, demographic patterns, traffic flows and economic potential: these empirically conceived models of urban geography fail to accommodate the crucial human aspect of city life. Located at the interface of geography and literature, Writing the City visualizes the city through the hopes, aspirations, disappointments and pains of international novelists and creative writers. From Manchester, Montreal...
