Shavertron: The Mimeograph Years
ISBN: 9780991139606 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 134 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Science fiction fan clubs have cranked out thousands of fanzines since Ray Palmer mimeographed the very first issue in 1930. Out of these thousands, only three were dedicated to the science fiction phenomenon known as the Shaver Mystery. There was a reason for this: SF fandom blackballed the Shaver Mystery and its namesake, Richard Shaver from the SF community. The first Shaver Mystery fanzine to enter this hostile environment was the original and best of the lot--The Shaver Mystery Magazine. Produced by The Shaver Mystery Club, it was typeset and printed on an offset press. It ran for nine...

War Over Lemuria: Richard Shaver, Ray Palmer and the Strangest Chapter of 1940s Science Fiction
ISBN: 9780786473076 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Life magazine described the Shaver Mystery as "the most celebrated rumpus that rocked the science fiction world." Its creators said it was a "new wave in science fiction." Critics called it "dangerous nonsense" and labeled its fans the lunatic fringe. Whatever else the Shaver Mystery was, it became a worldwide sensation between 1945 and 1948, one of the greatest controversies to hit the science fiction genre. Today these stories of the remnants of a sinister ancient civilization living in caverns under the Earth are an all but forgotten sidebar to the historical record.

ISBN: 9781108713733 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 281 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. During the 1820s, British society saw transformations in technology, mobility, and consumerism that accelerated the spread of information. This timely study reveals how bestselling literature, popular theatre, and periodical journalism self-consciously experimented with new media. It presents an age preoccupied with improvisation and speculation – a mode of behaviour that dominated financial and literary markets, generating reflections on risk, agency, and the importance of public opinion. Print and Performance in the 1820s interprets a rich constellation of fictional texts and theatrical...

Rokfogo: The Mysterious Pre-Deluge Art of Richard S. Shaver
ISBN: 9780991139620 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 106 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. In 1960, science fiction writer Richard Sharpe Shaver discovered "rock books" on his Wisconsin farm. He concluded they were not just rocks, but intelligently designed documents, the recorded history of an ancient, pre-deluge civilization. For 15 years he decoded the rock book texts and images he found embedded in stone, and soon began painting and photographing what he found. It was an alien world that few other than Shaver could see. Shaver also wrote essays to compliment his paintings. He wrote of the people and customs of Earth's pre-history-the half human, half fish Mermen and...

Evolution and the Common Law
ISBN: 9780521849685 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 306 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book offers a radical challenge to all existing accounts of the common law's development. Contrary to received jurisprudential wisdom, it maintains there is no grand theory which will explain satisfactorily the dynamic interactions of change and stability in the common law's history. Offering fresh and original readings of Charles Darwin's and Hans-Georg Gadamer's works, the book demonstrates that law is a rhetorical activity that can only be properly appreciated in its historical and political context. It reveals that, like life, law is an organic process and that common law is a...

The Cambridge Companion to Shakespeare and War
ISBN: 9781316510971 / Angielski / Twarda / 2021 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Written by a team of leading international scholars, The Cambridge Companion to Shakespeare and War illuminates the ways Shakespeare's works provide a rich and imaginative resource for thinking about the topic of war. Contributors explore the multiplicity of conflicting perspectives his dramas offer: war depicted from chivalric, masculine, nationalistic, and imperial perspectives; war depicted as a source of great excitement and as a theater of honor; war depicted from realistic or skeptical perspectives that expose the butchery, suffering, illness, famine, degradation, and havoc it causes....
