Thrown Under the Omnibus: A Reader
ISBN: 9780802125675 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 864 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. P. J. O'Rourke has had a prolific career as one of America's most celebrated humorists. But that career almost didn't happen. As he explains it, "I began to write for pay in the spring of 1970. To tell the truth I didn't even want to be a writer, I meant to be a race car driver, but I didn't have a race car."
Fortunately for us, he had to settle for writing. From his early pieces for the National Lampoon, through his classic reporting as Rolling Stone's International Affairs editor in the '80s and '90s, and his brilliant inimitable political journalism and analysis, P.J. has...

John Stuart Mill and Freedom of Expression: The Genesis of a Theory
ISBN: 9780415253048 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The arguments advanced in the second chapter of On Liberty (1859) have become the touchstone for practically every discussion of freedom of speech, yet the broader development of John Stuart Mill's ideas concerning intellectual liberty has generally been neglected.
