The White Buddhist: The Asian Odyssey of Henry Steel Olcott
ISBN: 9780253222763 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Denounced by the New York Times as an "unmitigated rascal" while simultaneously being lauded as a reincarnation of Gautama Buddha himself, Henry Steel Olcott (1832-1907) was friend to Madame Blavatsky, co-founder of the Theosophical Society, and an indefatigable reformer and culture broker between East and West.

ISBN: 9780520236882 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Just one hundred years ago, Americans almost universally condemned cremation. Today, nearly one-quarter of Americans choose to be cremated. The practice has gained wide acceptance as a funeral rite, in both our private and public lives, as the cremations of icons such as John Lennon and John F. Kennedy Jr. show. Purified by Fire tells the fascinating story of cremation's rise from notoriety to legitimacy and takes a provocative new look at important transformations in the American cultural landscape over the last 150 years. Stephen Prothero synthesizes a wide array of previously...

Their friends called them brave. Their families thought that they had either gone completely mad or were dreaming of a delusional easy life in the sun. In the event none of these assumptions were completely accurate. Moving and funny,...

Wordsworth and Welsh Romanticism
ISBN: 9781443847742 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 215 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Popular anthologies hold that the Romantic Era in Great Britain ended promptly in 1832 and that the early Twentieth Century was the time of Modernism and the rejection of the Romantic in British letters. However, in Wales, just the opposite was true. This study traces the work of poets and novelists in Wales in the early- to mid-Twentieth Century who all found their poetic master to be William Wordsworth. In the early part of the century, W. H. Davies, John Cowper Powys and Huw Menai - a tramp, a mystic novelist and a coal miner - produce novels and poetry with Wordsworth as their...

Radical Artisans in England and France, 1830-1870
ISBN: 9780521028127 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The focus of this unique comparative study is on political radicalism at its high point around the middle of the nineteenth century, but broad topics such as trade unionism, cooperation, socialism, and religion are also examined in depth. The author argues that French and English radicalism did not stem directly from or reflect work and workplace relations, but instead drew upon work groups and organizations, material concerns, or social and religious groups. Radicalism, he argues, was part of everyday social life, the daily concerns of which affected its practice--though usually not its...

Eocene-Oligocene Climatic and Biotic Evolution
ISBN: 9780691604954 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 584 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The transition from the Eocene to the Oligocene epochs was the most significant event in earth history since the extinction of dinosaurs. As the first Antarctic ice sheets appeared, major extinctions and faunal turnovers took place on the land and in the sea, eliminating forms adapted to a tropical world and replacing them with the ancestors of most of our modern animal and plant life. Through a detailed study of climatic conditions and of organisms buried in Eocene-Oligocene sediments, this volume shows that the separation of Antarctica from Australia was a critical factor in changing...

From Greenhouse to Icehouse: The Marine Eocene-Oligocene Transition
ISBN: 9780231127165 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 560 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The marine Eocene-Oligocene transition of 34 million years ago was a critical turning point in Earth's climatic history, when the warm, high-diversity "greenhouse" world of the early Eocene ceded to the glacial, "icehouse" conditions of the early Oligocene. This book surveys the advances in stratigraphic and paleontological research and isotopic analysis made since 1989 in regard to marine deposits around the world. In particular, it summarizes the high-resolution details of the so-called doubthouse interval (roughly 45 to 34 million years ago), which is critical to testing climatic and...
