Why Birds Sing: A Journey Into the Mystery of Bird Song
ISBN: 9780465071364 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The astonishing richness of birdsong is both an aesthetic and a scientific mystery. Evolutionists have never been able to completely explain why birdsong is so inventive and why many species devote so many hours to singing. The standard explanations of defending territories and attracting mates don't begin to account for the variety and energy that the commonest birds exhibit. Is it possible that birds sing because they like to? This seemingly naive explanation is starting to look more and more like the truth. Why Birds Sing is a lyric exploration of birdsong that blends the latest...

Copyright and Public Performance of Music
ISBN: 9789401500371 / Angielski / Miękka / 1954 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. There have been many notable descriptions of music but perhaps one of the most apt from the viewpoint of law and commerce was Ian Hay's statement, "Music is about the most vulnerable piece of property that a man can bring into the world, especially today. " With the increased use of music brought about by technological advances, such as radio, sound films and tele vision, and the concomitant decrease in the sale of sheet music and phonograph records, the need for writers and publishers of music to share in the revenue from public performances became urgent. With this urgency the author's...

Poetics & Polemics: 1980-2005
ISBN: 9780817355074 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Poetics & Polemics, 1980-2005 brings together in one volume a wide-ranging selection of essays and commentaries by one of the most significant poets, critics, and translators working with American and international poetry today.

The Wisdom of Love: Man, Woman and God in Jewish Canonical Literature
ISBN: 9781934843550 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Wisdom of Love strives to challenge the discrepancy between the way source texts relate to love and the way they are perceived to do so, introducing readers to the extensive, profound, and significant treatment of love in the Jewish canon. This is a book about love, not its repression; it is an opportunity to study the wisdom of love, not those who lack such wisdom and are unlikely to ever acquire it. The Wisdom of Love brings about not only a change in perception--recognizing the existence of the wisdom of love per se--but also the realization that this wisdom is the very foundation of...

Spirits of Palestine: Gender, Society, and Stories of the Jinn
ISBN: 9780739106433 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Palestinian Muslim village of Artas is cradled in the lap of four mountains in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Although Artas has experienced the violence of Israeli occupation, Spirits of Palestine does not focus exclusively on the villagers' experiences of violence, terrorism, or loss. This ethnography looks instead at the daily lives of Palestinian women and men and how they relate to tragedies and difficulties both large and small. Through stories of possession by the jinn, spirits that appear throughout the Koran, anthropologist Celia Rothenberg takes the reader past the dramatic,...

Vienna Blood: Poetry
ISBN: 9780811207591 / Angielski / Miękka / 1980 / 90 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This book is in some ways the most synthesizing of Jerome Rothenberg's recent collections, pulling together work from the 1970's that stands apart from Poland/1931 (1974) and A Seneca Journal (1978) yet at the same time continuing the enactment of past and present begun in those books.

Serious Fun at a Jewish Community Summer Camp: Family, Judaism, and Israel
ISBN: 9781498540773 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Unique in the literature on Jewish camping, this book provides an in-depth study of a community-based, residential summer camp that serves Jewish children from primarily rural areas. Focused on Camp Ben Frankel (CBF), established in 1950 in southern Illinois, this book focuses on how a pluralist Jewish camp constructs meaningful experiences of Jewish "family" and Judaism for campers--and teaches them about Israel. Inspired by models of the earliest camps established for Jewish children in urban areas, CBF's founders worked to create a camp that would appeal to the rural, often isolated Jewish...

The Taming of the Press: Cohen V. Cowles Media Company
ISBN: 9780275966010 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Cohen v. Cowles Media Company" changed the course of First Amendment media law.
