Race, Gender, and Discrimination at Work
ISBN: 9780813332024 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In Race and Gender Discrimination at Work Samuel Cohns provides a fascinating, unorthodox account of the causes of discrimination at work. The book is packed with statistics, yet witty; rigorous, yet light. Cohn introduces readers to the fundamental realities of race and gender barriers in the workplace, and he goes beyond these as well by introducing startling new reinterpretations. Cohn is tactful enough to appeal to the conservative student, but honest enough to appeal to the feminist student. In the first several chapters, Cohn provides a description of the historical and current...

When Strikes Make Sense--And Why: Lessons from Third Republic French Coal Miners
ISBN: 9780306444456 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Social scientists have not helped the working class make strategic deci sions. Unionists need to know how to carry on industrial conflict so as to provide concrete economic benefits for their members. Should unions strike or not strike? Should losses be avoided at all costs, or can unions afford to take chances? Does economism gut the class power of workers or provide a pragmatic strategy for increasing workers' wage gains?

The Black Death Transformed: Disease and Culture in Early Renaissance Europe
ISBN: 9780340706473 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Black Death in Europe, from its arrival in 1347-52 through successive waves into the early modern period, has been seriously misunderstood by historians. This revolutionary account provides compelling evidence that the Black Death could have been almost any disease other than the rat-based bubonic plague whose bacillus was discovered in 1894. Since the late nineteenth century, the rat and flea have stood wrongly accused as the agents of transmission and historians and scientists have uncritically imposed the epidemiology of modern plague on the past. Unshackled from this... The Black Death in Europe, from its arrival in 1347-52 through successive waves into the early modern period, has been seriously misunderstood by h... |

Women in the Streets: Essays on Sex and Power in Renaissance Italy
ISBN: 9780801853098 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. "These seven essays on women, sex, violence, and piety in Renaissance Italy," writes historian Samuel Cohn Jr., "bespeak the darker side of the Renaissance and, in particular, the decline in Italian women's status from the late fourteenth century until the Counter Reformation visitations of the 1570s. In this sense, these essays run directly counter to Jacob Burckhardt's claim for Renaissance Italy, 'that women stood on a footing of perfect equality with men." Challenging conventional views of the history of women in the Italian Renaissance, Cohn examines the lives primarily of non-elite...

Disjecta : Vermischte Schriften und ein Stückfragment
ISBN: 9783518224526 / Niemiecki / Twarda / 2010 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Es handelt sich um eine von Samuel Beckett noch autorisierte und betitelte Sammlung kleiner Schriften zur Ästhetik, erschienen 1983, sechs Jahre vor seinem Tod, die sich in drei Abschnitte gliedert: Ästhetik Literaturkritik Kunstkritik. "Wie andere Beckettkenner auch schätze ich seine kritischen Texte höher ein als ihr Autor", schreibt Ruby Cohn in ihrer Einleitung. "Ich meine, daß die Sammlung eine Ästhetik birgt; allerdings fügen sich Becketts Kritiken in kein deuterisches Prokrustesbett Obgleich Beckett sich auf die Kunst des Fragens, Zögerns, Erkundens versteht, macht sich sein...

Cultures of Plague: Medical Thinking at the End of the Renaissance
ISBN: 9780199574025 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Cultures of Plague opens a new chapter in the history of medicine. Neither the plague nor the ideas it stimulated were static, fixed in a timeless Galenic vacuum over five centuries, as historians and scientists commonly assume. As plague evolved in its pathology, modes of transmission, and the social characteristics of its victims, so too did medical thinking about plague develop.
This study of plague imprints, from academic medical treatises to plague poetry, highlights the most feared and devastating epidemic of the sixteenth-century, one that threatened Italy top to toe from 1575 to...

Lust for Liberty: The Politics of Social Revolt in Medieval Europe, 1200-1425: Italy, France, and Flanders
ISBN: 9780674030381 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Lust for Liberty challenges long-standing views of popular medieval revolts. Comparing rebellions in northern and southern Europe over two centuries, Samuel Cohn analyzes their causes and forms, their leadership, the role of women, and the suppression or success of these revolts. Popular revolts were remarkably common--not the last resort of desperate people. Leaders were largely workers, artisans, and peasants. Over 90 percent of the uprisings pitted ordinary people against the state and were fought over political rights--regarding citizenship, governmental offices, the...

Creating the Florentine State
ISBN: 9780521663373 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 324 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book takes a new approach to the political history of the Italian Renaissance. It examines the Florentine state from its mountainous periphery, where Florence met its most strenuous opposition to territorial incorporation. From a tributary state, which treated its surrounding countryside as little more than a tax reservoir and a buffer against foreign invaders, Florence began to see its own self-interest as intertwined with that of its region and its rural subjects--a change brought about by widespread and successful peasant uprisings, hitherto unrecorded by historians.

Cohn, Jr. investigates thousands of descriptions of epidemics reaching back before the fifth-century-BCE Plague of Athens to the 2014 Ebola outbreak to challenge the dominant hypothesis that epidemics invariably provoke hatred, blaming of the 'other', and victimizing bearers of epidemic diseases.
