Katalin Street
ISBN: 9781681371528 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. From the author of The Door, selected as one of the New York Times "10 Best Books of 2015," this is a heartwrenching tale about a group of friends and lovers torn apart by the German occupation of Budapest during World War II. In prewar Budapest three families live side by side on gracious Katalin Street, their lives closely intertwined.

Still on Call is the sixth and final collection of critically acclaimed novelist and educator Richard Stern. 'Orderly miscellany' is the author's term for this aggregation of reflections, essays, reviews, reportage, commentary, and observations on writing and fellow writers, life, and contemporary culture.

A Father's Words
ISBN: 9780226773223 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Cy Riemer fifty-ish, divorced, and father of four surveys the dispersal of his family with a mixture of anxiety, humor, sadness, and pride. In this wry, moving, and wise novel, Richard Stern offers his masterful portrait of Cy as the quintessential caring yet controlling parent, a relentless seeker of self-knowledge whose search is intensified through conflicts with his brilliant, ne'er-do-well son Jack. The "manipulation of a smart, sane, self-justifying narrator . . . is not the least of Stern's achievements in this delicate fabrication of tough prose and tender adjustment of sentiment."...

Golk
ISBN: 9780226773193 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In midcentury America, the golden age of television, a man named Golk is wreaking havoc with the medium. Through a devastating series of exposures "You're on Camera" Golk manipulates the high and mighty, the lowdown and dirty, and the outrageous weird; all are within the compass of Richard Stern in this early novel, a comedy with as many inspired maneuvers as its rambunctious protagonist has for taking the measure of a profligate world.
""Golk" is a rich and marvelously detailed novel by a man with a cultivated intelligence; it is also the first really good book I have read about...

Other Men's Daughters
ISBN: 9781681371511 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. "Until the day of Merriwether's departure from the house--a month after his divorce--the Merriwether family looked like an ideally tranquil one" we read on the first page of Other Men's Daughters. It is the late 1960s, and the streets of Cambridge, Massachusetts, are full of long-haired hippies decked out in colorful garb, but Dr. Robert Merriwether, who teaches at Harvard and has been married for a good long time, hardly takes note. Learned, curious, thoughtful, and a creature of habit, Merriwether is anything but an impulsive man, and yet over the summer, while Sarah, his wife, is...

Health for all by the year 2000 is the blueprint for change agreed to by the Member States of the World Health Organization. In Europe, this blueprint is built on 38 regional targets, many of which have the underlying aim of uncovering new knowledge and of using existing knowledge more effectively.

Allied to these goals is the need to reduce the...

Communicating about Risks to Environment and Health in Europe
ISBN: 9781441947765 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 410 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Public experience with risk communication differs greatly from country to country in Europe and there has been little opportunity for the transfer of experience and learning between countries. This is especially true for the many new European States, including the countries in transition from centralised to market economies.
This book presents case studies on risk communication. One of its unifying concepts is the role of risk communication in the risk management process. Technical and philosophical introductions to risk communication and risk management and research in risk...

GIS for Emergency Preparedness and Health Risk Reduction
ISBN: 9781402007989 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 326 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) have developed rapidly in recent years and now provide powerful tools for the capture, manipulation, integration, interrogation, modelling, analysis and visualisation of data - tools that are already used for policy support in a wide range of areas at almost all geographic and administrative levels. This holds especially for emergency preparedness and health risk reduction, which are all essentially spatial problems. To date, however, many initiatives have remained disconnected and uncoordinated, leading to less powerful, less compatible and less widely...

What Is What Was
ISBN: 9780226773261 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "What Is What Was," Richard Stern's fifth "orderly miscellany," is the first to meaningfully combine his fiction and nonfiction. Stories, such as the already well-known "My Ex, the Moral Philosopher," appear among portraits (of the sort Hugh Kenner praised as "almost the invention of a new genre"): Auden, Pound, Ellison, Terkel, W. C. Fields, Bertrand Russell, Walter Benjamin (in both essay and story), Jung and Freud, Hannah Arendt and Martin Heidegger.
In the book's seven sections are analyses of the Wimbledon tennis tournament as an Anglification machine, of Silicon Valley at its shaky... "What Is What Was," Richard Stern's fifth "orderly miscellany," is the first to meaningfully combine his fiction and nonfiction. Stories, such as the ...

A Jovial Crew
ISBN: 9781904271772 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. A Jovial Crew, or the Merry Beggars, is a comedy about four noble lovers who join the beggar community for a pastoral life of dance and song. Or is it? Whilst maintaining its unremitting good humour, A Jovial Crew shows that the literary depiction of beggar life, and real beggar life, are profoundly different. Daily aspects of life in the beggar world - poverty, dirt, licentiousness - come as a surprise to the well-born, who are ultimately led to question their own values. The last production mounted before theatres were closed for the English Civil War, A...
