The Ballad of John Latouche: An American Lyricist's Life and Work
ISBN: 9780190458294 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 590 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Born into a poor Virginian family, John Treville Latouche (1914-56), in his short life, made a profound mark on America's musical theater as a lyricist, book writer, and librettist. The wit and skill of his lyrics elicited comparisons with the likes of Ira Gershwin, Lorenz Hart, and Cole Porter, but he had too, noted Stephen Sondheim, "a large vision of what musical theater could be," and he proved especially venturesome in helping to develop a lyric theater that innovatively combined music, word, dance, and costume and set design. Many of his pieces, even if not commonly known today, remain...

Skażone krajobrazy
ISBN: 9788375368727 / Polski / Miękka / 2014 / 112 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 6-8 dni roboczych. "Skażone krajobrazy" to esej o miejscach masowych mordów, dokonywanych w ukryciu, w ścisłej tajemnicy. Mordów, po których zacierano ślady: uciążliwi świadkowie byli likwidowani, doły, do których wrzucano zmarłych, ukrywano pod zasiewami łubinu lub krzakami zdziczałych porzeczek. Martin Pollack pyta, jak mieszka się ludziom na wielkim cmentarzysku Europy. Czy wiedzą, co kryje w sobie ziemia, którą uprawiają? Czy założyli tu warzywniak? Posadzili ziemniaki? Postawili stodołę? Czy też z trwogą wielkim łukiem obchodzą miejscowość, w której jest wielki zbiorowy...

Persons, Places, & Things: Selected Poems
ISBN: 9781938812248 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 180 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. We grow so accustomed to hearing-and, let's admit it, to uttering-cliches that to encounter a person who seems unconstitutionally incapable of either produces an immediate shock. Arlene Pollack is like that, and so is her poetry, which is a good thing, because when poems get predictable you may as well use them to wrap fish. Ms. Pollack's art stuns. Even more importantly, her ideas stun, through a freshness of awareness, an untarnishable integrity, and a profound technical economy. She is a true artist, rarely comfortable or satisfied, and she writes very beautifully about practically...

The Fracture of Meaning: Japan's Synthesis of China from the Eighth Through the Eighteenth Centuries
ISBN: 9780691610603 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. From the beginning of its recorded history until the opening to the West in the last century, Japan was caught between a love for and a rejection of Chinese civilization. David Pollack argues that the dialectical relationship between the two countries figured more importantly in the Japanese sense of identity and signification than any particular borrowed Chinese cultural materials. Originally published in 1986. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of...

Contractile Mechanisms in Muscle
ISBN: 9781468447057 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 921 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Prior to the emergence of the sliding filament model, contraction theories had been in abundance. In the absence of the kinds of structural and biochemical information available today, it has been a simple matter to speculate about the possible ways in which tension generation and shortening might occur. The advent of the sliding filament model had an immediate impact on these theories; within several years they fell by the wayside, and attention was redirected towards mechanisms by which the filaments might be driven to slide by one another. In terms of identifying the driving mechanism, the...

A World Without Ice
ISBN: 9781583334072 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. A cowinner of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize offers a clear-eyed explanation of the planet's imperiled ice.
Much has been written about global warming, but the crucial relationship between people and ice has received little focus-until now. As one of the world's leading experts on climate change, Henry Pollack provides an accessible, comprehensive survey of ice as a force of nature and the potential consequences as we face the possibility of a world without ice. A World Without Ice traces the effect of mountain glaciers on supplies of drinking water and agricultural...

Capitalism, Hegemony and Violence in the Age of Drones
ISBN: 9783319648873 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 483 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book offers a critical analysis of the rise of the US to global hegemony against a background of increased erosion of democracy and rule of law, and a rising linear pattern of near-absolute capitalist development. The author argues that the significant shrinkage of the ideological spectrum globally, as a result of worrisome levels of business and government interpenetration, has created a dangerous 'prefascist configuration' whereby unthinkable levels of violence have been normalized through the use of technologies such as drones, increasingly condoned even by 'liberal' groups and the...
