Hamas, Popular Support and War in the Middle East: Insurgency in the Holy Land
ISBN: 9781138927803 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book offers a new understanding of the nature of power-seeking insurgent groups by empirically examining the use of violence by Hamas in the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict. Though Hamas has learned to ride the tides of popular support, it remains suspended between its quest to achieve the values of its ardent supporters (reclamation of land through force) and the desire to grow popular support. This tension is reflected in how and when the group exercises violent resistance. The theoretical framework applied in this volume provides a simple construct to understand the dynamics...

Letters from a Son
ISBN: 9781532920585 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. These are the letters sent to my mother, Betty Davis, and father, Wilfred Davis, during my three years and four months in the Marine Corps. The letters from boot camp were written in pencil on a small pocket notebook, usually in five or ten minute spurts. They were jumbled and repetitive and required massive editing to make them readable. I expected to experience a hard three years when I enlisted in the Corps late in 1962. Most of the time I wasn't disappointed. I joined on a "120-Delay Program," along with my high school classmate, Bob Keller. We enlisted in November 1962, shortly after the...

Lives of Indian Images
ISBN: 9780691005201 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. For many centuries, Hindus have taken it for granted that the religious images they place in temples and home shrines for purposes of worship are alive. Hindu priests bring them to life through a complex ritual "establishment" that invokes the god or goddess into material support. Priests and devotees then maintain the enlivened image as a divine person through ongoing liturgical activity: they must awaken it in the morning, bathe it, dress it, feed it, entertain it, praise it, and eventually put it to bed at night. In this linked series of case studies of Hindu religious objects, Richard...

ISBN: 9781443850490 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 170 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Few subjects have aroused more controversy in recent years than that of empire, and that of the British Empire in particular. Few other subjects are of greater importance to today's world. How the British Empire was created and maintained, and the impact it had on both the colonised and the colonisers, have been the source of long-running and heated debates amongst historians, politicians and in the media. For several decades it has been analysed from numerous different perspectives, providing a wide range of differing interpretations. Over recent years, new studies have extended the scope of...

ISBN: 9781107052451 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The U.S. Supreme Court seeks to withhold information about its deliberations, while the press's job is to report and disseminate this information.

Ritual in an Oscillating Universe: Worshipping Siva in Medieval India
ISBN: 9780691632490 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Saiva liturgy is performed in a world that oscillates: a world permeated by the presence of Siva, where humans live in a condition of bondage and where the highest aim of the soul is to attain liberation from its fetters. In this account of Indian temple ritual, Richard Davis uses medieval Hindu texts to describe the world as it is envisioned by Saiva siddhanta and the way daily worship reflects and acts within that world. He argues that this worship is not simply a set of ritualized gestures, but rather a daily catechism in which the worshiper puts into action all the major themes of...
