Palais-Royal
ISBN: 9780393312515 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Ablaze with intellectual and social change, Paris in the 1830s and 1840s beckons to two English brothers--Frederick and Charles Courtland, an architect and a priest--each of whom is struggling for self-definition and social recognition. Of their lives and this world Sennett has made a remarkable work of fiction that transports the reader into nineteenth century Europe and into the nature and inconsistencies of culture and faith, and the way each is shaped by the passage of time.

Ciało i kamień
ISBN: 9788362858781 / Polski / Miękka / 2015 / 468 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 1-3 dni roboczych. Amerykański socjolog Richard Sennett (ur. 1943) należy do (lewicowych) krytyków nowoczesności, lecz ta książka o człowieku, „ciele”, wśród, „kamieni”, na szczęście nie jest historią z tezą, lecz fascynującą opowieścią o tym, jak mieszczanie – od starożytnych Aten po dzisiejsze Greenwich Village – współżyją i zmagają się z miastem, które sami sobie stworzyli. Za pomocą reprezentatywnych obrazów kilku metropolii w kluczowych momentach historii autor skłania czytelników do namysłu nad otoczeniem, w którym żyją. Obecna sytuacja mieszkańców miasta...

The Culture of the New Capitalism
ISBN: 9780300119923 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. The distinguished sociologist Richard Sennett surveys major differences between earlier forms of industrial capitalism and the more global, more febrile, ever more mutable version of capitalism that is taking its place. He shows how these changes affect everyday life--how the work ethic is changing; how new beliefs about merit and talent displace old values of craftsmanship and achievement; how what Sennett calls "the specter of uselessness" haunts professionals as well as manual workers; how the boundary between consumption and politics is dissolving.In recent years, reformers of both...

Constantly stimulating ideas from a veteran of urban thinking Jonathan Meades, Guardian In Building and Dwelling, Richard Sennett distils a lifetimes thinking and practical experience to explore the relationship between the good built environment and the good life.

The Uses of Disorder: Personal Identity and City Life
ISBN: 9780393309096 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The distinguished social critic Richard Sennett here shows how the excessively ordered community freezes adults--both the young idealists and their security-oriented parents--into rigid attitudes that stifle personal growth. He argues that the accepted ideal of order generates patterns of behavior among the urban middle classes that are stultifying, narrow, and violence-prone. And he proposes a functioning city that can incorporate anarchy, diversity, and creative disorder to bring into being adults who can openly respond to and deal with the challenges of life.

The Fall of Public Man
ISBN: 9780141007571 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. Here, Sennett writes first of the tension between the public and private realms in which we live, arguing that different types of behaviour and activity are appropriate in each. He believes that the barrier between these different realms has been eroded, through capitalism and the secularization of society, and that this breakdown is so profound that public man has been left with no certain idea of his role in society. Sennett sees the development of the city as the single most important element of the social change he describes, and puts his argument in its historical perspective through an...

Flesh and Stone is the story of the deepest parts of life--how women and men moved in public and private spaces, what they saw and heard, the smells that assailed them, where they ate, how they dressed, the mores of bathing and of making love--all in the architecture of stone and space from ancient Athens to modern New York. Early inFlesh and Stone, Richard Sennett probes the ways in which the ancient Athenians experienced nakedness, and the relation of nakedness to the shape of the ancient city, its troubled politics, and the inequalities between men and women. The story...

Authority
ISBN: 9780393310276 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book is a study of both how we experience authority and how we might experience it differently. Sennett explores the bonds that rebellion against authority paradoxically establishes, showing how this paradox has been in the making since the French Revolution and how today it expresses itself in offices, in factories, and in government as well as in the family. Drawing on examples from psychology, sociology, and literature, he eloquently projects how we might reinvigorate the role of authority according to good and rational ideals.
