Darwin's Pharmacy: Sex, Plants, and the Evolution of the Noosphere
ISBN: 9780295990958 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Are humans unwitting partners in evolution with psychedelic plants? Darwin's Pharmacy shows they are by weaving the evolutionary theory of sexual selection and the study of rhetoric together with the science and literature of psychedelic drugs. Long suppressed as components of the human tool kit, psychedelic plants can be usefully modeled as "eloquence adjuncts" that intensify a crucial component of sexual selection in humans: discourse. Psychedelic plants seduce us to interact with them, building an ongoing interdependence: rhetoric as evolutionary mechanism. In doing so, they...

Terrorism: How to Respond
ISBN: 9780199590032 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Richard English argues here that the post-9/11 War on Terror has spectacularly failed and that we now need a radically new approach to dealing with international terrorism. Recent policies have ignored the lessons of the past, and Terrorism: How to Respond seeks to remedy this lack of vision by looking at the long history of terrorism and assessing why such violence emerges, how it is sustained, and--most crucially of all--how and why it ends.
Written by an historian who has long studied Irish terrorism and politics, this book argues that we cannot adequately respond to the practical... Richard English argues here that the post-9/11 War on Terror has spectacularly failed and that we now need a radically new approach to dealing with in...

This study will enable readers to gain clearer understanding of the life and major works of Seamus Heaney.

Liability Insurance in International Arbitration: The Bermuda Form
ISBN: 9781509917259 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 / 488 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is the third revised edition of what was described by the English Court of Appeal in C v D as the “standard work” on Bermuda Form excess insurance policies. The Form, first used in the 1980s, covers liabilities for catastrophes such as serious explosions or mass tort litigation and is now widely used by insurance companies. It is unusual in that it includes a clause requiring disputes to be arbitrated under English procedural rules in London but subject to New York substantive law. This calls for a rare mix of knowledge and experience on the part of the lawyers involved, each of whom...
