Bergson and American Culture: The Worlds of Willa Cather and Wallace Stevens
ISBN: 9780807897560 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 318 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Bergsonian "vitalism" challenged the dominance of Spencerian determinism in the early twentieth century and seemed to offer a new foundation for belief in human freedom and individual possibility.

In seeking to account for how Twain might have reasonably believed the things he said he believed, Tom Quirk has interwoven the author's inner life with his...

Courts and Congress: America's Unwritten Constitution
ISBN: 9781412811446 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 331 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych.

Increasingly the power to make decisions in our democracy has been shifted from Congress to the court system, forcing non-elected officials to make decisions that affect the lives of Americans. In a society which is based on the democratic elections of its officials, this is clearly backwards. Quirk maintains that what he calls the Happy Convention, an informal and unwritten rearrangement of "passing...
