The Iconography of Independence: 'Freedoms at Midnight'
ISBN: 9780415853743 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) This book explores the phenomenon of Independence Days. These rituals had complex meanings both in the territories concerned and in Britain as the imperial metropole, where they were extensively reported in the press. The text is concerned with the political management, associated rhetoric and iconography of these seminal celebrations. The focus is therefore very much on political culture in a broad sense, and changing perceptions and presentations over time. Highlights of the book include an overview by David Cannadine relating the topic to ornamentalism, invented tradition and transitions...

The British and the Hellenes: Struggles for Mastery in the Eastern Mediterranean 1850-1960
ISBN: 9780199239771 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) The Greek revolt against Turkish rule in the 1820s, and the ensuing establishment of an independent Hellenic Kingdom, was the principal precursor of an age of nationalism in the eastern Mediterranean world. Amongst the Great Powers, Great Britain thereafter played the most critical role in struggles to expand the frontiers of Greece beyond their initially confined extent. Through a focus on events leading to the cession of the Ionian Islands to Greece in 1864, the often bloody process of Cretan unification climaxing in 1913, the adhesion of the Dodecanese to Greece in 1948, and the travails...

The Chosen Fast and Prayer
ISBN: 9781466485631 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 102 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Comparing the Chosen Fast with the Traditional Fast and the Daniel Fast and relating them to prayer, Robert Holland's second book is a masterwork that explores some of the false assumptions about fasting. The Chosen Fast, specifically, can be spiritually understood as wisdom in its highest form, causing us to not only know what Jesus wants of us but also causes us to lovingly obey Him, follow Him in our daily lives, and live in the kingdom of heaven until it comes in its fullness. Holland's thorough and enlightening examination of fasting covers these illuminating topics: Old and New...

To Build a Better Teacher: The Emergence of a Competitive Education Industry
ISBN: 9780897898867 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) Holland proposes breaking up the teacher-preparation monopoly and replacing it with a market-based approach that would allow school principals to hire knowledgeable candidates who have not necessarily been through the education-school mill. Mentoring and value-added assessment would ensure children benefit from the highest quality teaching. Throughout the 20th century, grade-school teachers were trained in schools of education where progressive theories largely held sway and were licensed by state bureaucracies philosophically compatible with the education schools. Vested education... Holland proposes breaking up the teacher-preparation monopoly and replacing it with a market-based approach that would allow school principals to h... |

To Build a Better Teacher: The Emergence of a Competitive Education Industry
ISBN: 9780897898850 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) Throughout the 20th century, grade-school teachers were trained in schools of education where progressive theories largely held sway and were licensed by state bureaucracies philosophically compatible with the education schools. Vested education interests now seek to make the monopoly even more controlling by requiring that all teachers be products of education schools accredited by a single national agency dedicated to progressive ideals. Holland proposes an alternative vision compatible with the emerging 21st-century paradigm of a competitive education industry: Lower unnecessary barriers...

Psychosocial Aspects of Oncology
ISBN: 9783642466977 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 142 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych (dostawa w 2025) The European School of Oncology came into existence to respond to a need for information, education and training in the field of the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. There are two main reasons why such an initiative was considered necessary. Firstly, the teaching of oncology requires a rigorously multidiscipli nary approach which is difficult for the Universities to put into practice since their system is mainly disciplinary orientated. Secondly, the rate of technological development that impinges on the diagnosis and treatment of cancer has been so rapid that it is not an easy task for...
