ISBN: 9780262701198 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Assisted reproductive technology (ART) makes babies and parents at once. Drawing on science and technology studies, feminist theory, and historical and ethnographic analyses of ART clinics, Charis Thompson explores the intertwining of biological reproduction with the personal, political, and technological meanings of reproduction.

Identity, Interest and Action: A Cultural Explanation of Sweden's Intervention in the Thirty Years War
ISBN: 9780521563147 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 252 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book offers an original combination of cultural and narratological analysis with an empirical study of identity and political action. A powerful critique of rational choice theory, it also provides a solution to the historiographical puzzle of why Sweden intervened in The Thirty Years' War. Arguing that people act for reasons of identity, more fundamental than reasons of interest, Erik Ringmar shows the Swedish intervention to have been an attempt on behalf of Swedish leaders to gain recognition for themselves and their country.

Separation and Reunion in Modern China
ISBN: 9780521780179 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this distinctive book, Charles Stafford describes the Chinese fascination with separation and reunion. Drawing on his field studies in Taiwan and mainland China, he gives a vivid account of festivals of reunion, rituals for the sending-off of gods, silent leave-takings, poetic words of parting, and bitter political rhetoric. Stafford examines how these idioms and practices help people situate themselves in historical communities, and how they are deployed in official Chinese rhetoric concerning Taiwan. The discussion of these everyday rituals offers rich insights into Chinese and Taiwanese...

Anthropology and the Cognitive Challenge
ISBN: 9780521803557 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In this provocative new study one of the world's most distinguished anthropologists proposes that an understanding of cognitive science enriches, rather than threatens, the work of social scientists. Maurice Bloch argues for a naturalist approach to social and cultural anthropology, introducing developments in cognitive sciences such as psychology and neurology and exploring the relevance of these developments for central anthropological concerns: the person or the self, cosmology, kinship, memory and globalisation. Opening with an exploration of the history of anthropology, Bloch shows why...

Warrior Geeks: How 21st-Century Technology Is Changing the Way We Fight and Think about War
ISBN: 9780199327898 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Warrior Geeks examines how technology is transforming the way we think about and fight war, taking three major changes that are driving this process: cybernetic technologies that are folding soldiers into a cybernetic system that will allow the military to read their thoughts and emotions and mould them accordingly; the coexistence of men and robots in the battle-spaces of tomorrow; and the extent to which we may be able to re-engineer warriors through pharmacological manipulation. By referring back to the Greeks who defined the contours of war for us, Coker shows how we are in danger of...
