ISBN: 9781780320069 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The last few years have seen the spectacular failure of market fundamentalism in Europe and the US.

Parish Churches in the Early Modern World
ISBN: 9781472446084 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Across Europe, the parish church has stood for centuries at the centre of local communities; it was the focal point of its religious life, the rituals performed there marked the stages of life from the cradle to the grave. Nonetheless the church itself artistically and architecturally stood apart from the parish community. It was often the largest and only stone-built building in a village; it was legally distinct being subject to canon law, as well as consecrated for the celebration of religious rites. The buildings associated with the "cure of souls" were sacred sites or holy places, where...

Good Invention Repaid with Interest
ISBN: 9783838317496 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Bach was a prolific composer, often compelled by demands of the eighteenth century to produce a constant supply of new music. But a significant number of Bach's works are borrowed or parodied versions of either his earlier compositions or the works of others. Throughout the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, scholars sought to explain why a composer with so many original compositions would find it necessary to look for inspiration in his earlier works and in the works of other composers. Some scholars thought Bach borrowed for expediency. Often times, Bach was under extreme time...

The Right of Redress
ISBN: 9780192866127 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The law enables private parties to undo the wrongs committed against them, allowing victims to seek redress. A distinctive kind of justice governs our legal rights of redress, different from the leading corrective justice approaches. Through analysis of this key idea, The Right of Redress helps to make sense of tort, contract, fiduciary law, and unjust enrichment doctrine. When a wrong is remedied, the authorship of that remedy matters. The justice in private law is sensitive to a right holder's authorship, and understanding how solves a number of legal theory puzzles. Many forms of...

The BRICS: A Very Short Introduction
ISBN: 9780198723394 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In the wake of the post-Cold War era, the aftermath of 9/11, the 2008 global financial crisis, and the emergence of the G20 at the leaders level, few commentators expected a reshaping of the global system towards multipolarity, and away from the United States. And yet, the BRICS - encompassing Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - has emerged as a challenge to the international status quo. But what is its capacity as a transformative force? And can it provide a significant counter-narrative to the Western dominated global order?

Scare Tactics: Supernatural Fiction by American Women, with a New Preface
ISBN: 9780823271887 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Scare Tactics identifies an important but overlooked tradition of supernatural writing by American women. Jeffrey Weinstock analyzes this tradition as an essentially feminist attempt to imagine alternatives to a world of limited possibilities. In the process, he recovers the lives and works of authors who were important during their lifetimes and in the development of the American literary tradition, but who are not recognized today for their contributions. Between the end of the Civil War and roughly 1930, hundreds of uncanny tales were published by women in the periodical press and in...

Complexity Science in Air Traffic Management
ISBN: 9781472460370 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Air traffic management (ATM) comprises a highly complex socio-technical system that keeps air traffic flowing safely and efficiently, worldwide, every minute of the year. Over the last few decades, several ambitious ATM performance improvement programmes have been undertaken. Such programmes have mostly delivered local technological solutions, whilst corresponding ATM performance improvements have fallen short of stakeholder expectations. In hindsight, this can be substantially explained from a complexity science perspective: ATM is simply too complex to address through classical...

The Jiankang Empire in Chinese and World History
ISBN: 9780190937546 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 430 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This work offers a sweeping re-assessment of the Jiankang Empire (3rd-6th centuries CE), known as the Chinese "Southern Dynasties." It shows how, although one of the medieval world's largest empires, Jiankang has been rendered politically invisible by the standard narrative of Chinese nationalist history, and proposes a new framework and terminology for writing about medieval East Asia. The book pays particular attention to the problem of ethnic identification, rejecting the idea of "ethnic Chinese," and delineating several other, more useful ethnographic categories, using case studies in...

John Stewart Bell and Twentieth Century Physics: Vision and Integrity
ISBN: 9780198861263 / Angielski / Miękka / 2020 / 480 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book gives a readable non-mathematical account of the upbringing, education and academic achievement of John Stewart Bell, the celebrated physicist from Belfast, who was born in 1928. Bell has become famous for what he described as his 'hobby', analysing the fundamental aspects of quantum theory, where he clarified a long-standing debate between the two most important figures of twentieth century physics, Albert Einstein and Niels Bohr, and showed that, contrary to belief over the previous thirty years, quantum theory could be supplemented with extra 'hidden variables'. His crucial...
