Evangelical Exodus: Evangelical Seminarians and Their Paths to Rome
ISBN: 9781621640424 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 286 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Over the course a single decade, dozens of students, alumni, and professors from a conservative, Evangelical seminary in North Carolina (Southern Evangelical Seminary) converted to Catholicism. These conversions were notable as they occurred among people with varied backgrounds and motivations--many of whom did not share their thoughts with one another until this book was produced. Even more striking is that the seminary's founder, long-time president, and popular professor, Dr. Norman Geisler, had written two full-length books and several scholarly articles criticizing Catholicism from an...

Deterritorializing Language, Teaching, Learning, and Research: Deleuzo-Guattarian Perspectives on Second Language Education
ISBN: 9789004420915 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. It is now recognized that language teachers and learners are both users and creators of knowledge in socially, culturally, politically, materially complex, and unpredictable environments. With this in mind, an increasing number of researchers in Second Language Education have progressively broken away from traditional ways of studying educational practices to find novel, and more complex ways to conceptualize and study language teachers’ and learners’ teaching and learning practices and knowledge development. This book is in line with these trends, and should be considered as the...

It has applications to and connections with manifold topology, number theory, and string theory. This book provides a careful, accessible introduction to topological modular forms. After a brief history and an extended overview of the subject, the book proper...

The Grand Strategy That Won the Cold War: Architecture of Triumph
ISBN: 9780739188293 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book demonstrates that under the leadership of President Ronald Reagan and through the mechanism of his National Security Council staff, the United States developed and executed a comprehensive grand strategy, involving the coordinated use of the diplomatic, informational, military, and economic instruments of national power, and that grand strategy led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. In doing so, it refutes three orthodoxies: that Reagan and his administration deserve little credit for the end of the Cold War, with most of credit going to Mikhail Gorbachev; that Reagan's management...
