ISBN: 9781852334611 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 223 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Virtual reality (VR) technology has been developed commercially since the early 1990s 1].

These essays bring Weber's sociology to bear on the current transformation of the political landscape.

The essays in this volume develop Weberian concepts and apply his comparative-historical method to deepen our understanding of these problems. They cover a wide range of examples, from the United States to Western and Eastern Europe, and from Russia and Japan to the Islamic states.
