ISBN: 9780226317892 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 262 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. Humans have long turned to gardens both real and imaginary for sanctuary from the frenzy and tumult that surrounds them. Those gardens may be as far away from everyday reality as Gilgamesh s garden of the gods or as near as our own backyard, but in their very conception and the marks they bear of human care and cultivation, gardens stand as restorative, nourishing, necessary havens. With "Gardens," Robert Pogue Harrison graces readers with a thoughtful, wide-ranging examination of the many ways gardens evoke the human condition. Moving from from the gardens of ancient philosophers to the... Humans have long turned to gardens both real and imaginary for sanctuary from the frenzy and tumult that surrounds them.

ISBN: 9780226317939 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How do the living maintain relations to the dead? Why do we bury people when they die? And what is at stake when we do? In "The Dominion of the Dead, " Robert Pogue Harrison considers the supreme importance of these questions to Western civilization, exploring the many places where the dead cohabit the world of the living-the graves, images, literature, architecture, and monuments that house the dead in their afterlife among us.

Juvenescence: A Cultural History of Our Age
ISBN: 9780226171999 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How old are you? The more thought you bring to bear on the question, the harder it is to answer. For we age simultaneously in different ways: biologically, psychologically, socially. And we age within the larger framework of a culture, in the midst of a history that predates us and will outlast us. Looked at through that lens, many aspects of late modernity would suggest that we are older than ever, but Robert Pogue Harrison argues that we are also getting startlingly youngerin looks, mentality, and behavior. We live, he says, in an age of juvenescence.
Like all of Robert Pogue... How old are you? The more thought you bring to bear on the question, the harder it is to answer. For we age simultaneously in different ways: biologic...
