ISBN: 9780857454980 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This is an extremely interesting book with a strong argument overall...It is extremely readable, makes anthropological analysis accessible and does not over-exoticize the topic. Most admirably, the author keeps a tight focus on cross-cultural analysis...The bibliography is comprehensive and will also be a very useful tool for interested readers and researchers. I can't think of anything like it in the extant literature; it bridges colonial North American and 20th century Pacific warfare, for instance. - Laura Peers, University of Oxford This is a wonderful book, which I found quite...

Augustine's Way Into the Will: The Theological and Philosophical Significance of de Libero Arbitrio
ISBN: 9780198269847 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. An original account of Augustine's theory of will, based on a close reading of his pivotal and fundamental text, the dialogue On Free Choice. Simon Harrison takes Augustine's philosophical arguments and literary form seriously and so reveals a way of thinking about the will that is grounded in the individual reader's response. He shows the centrality of Augustine's philosophical method, his 'way in to the will', as opposed to the construction of a monolithic 'theory of will'. Harrison relates the argument of On Free Choice to other key texts of Augustine's, in particular the City of God and...

Fracturing Resemblances: Identity and Mimetic Conflict in Melanesia and the West
ISBN: 9781571816801 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Western societies draw crucially on concepts of the 'individual' in constructing their images of the ethnic group and nation and define these in terms of difference. This study explores the implications of these constructs for Western understanding of social order and ethnic conflicts. Comparing them with the forms of cultural identity characteristic of Melanesia as they have developed since pre-colonial times, the author arrives at a surprising conclusion: he argues that these kinds of identities are more properly and adequately viewed as forms of disguised or denied resemblance, and...

Fracturing Resemblances: Identity and Mimetic Conflict in Melanesia and the West
ISBN: 9781845450977 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book offers a counterintuitive and innovative approach to the politics of cultural difference and social order. The appeal of Harrison's argument is enhanced because he shows that currently dominant approaches to the politics of identity and difference are likely to be misguided, but does not resort to a wrongheaded appeal to universalism that simply collapses difference." - ANTHROPOLOGICAL FORUM
"I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is clearly and convincingly written, covers a large number of fascinating and diverse ethnographic cases, and its central theoretical propositions are...

Stealing People's Names: History and Politics in a Sepik River Cosmology
ISBN: 9780521026475 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Among the people of Avatip, a community in the Sepik region of Papua New Guinea, the most prestigious and valued forms of wealth are personal names. In this intriguing study, Simon Harrison analyzes the significance of names in the context of Avatip ritual, cosmology, and concepts of the person, and shows how the Avatip system of names parallels the gift-exchange systems of many other Melanesian societies. In ritualized debates, which form the arena of Avatip political life, rival leaders and the groups they represent struggle in oratorical contests for the possession of strategic names, and...

Dark Trophies: Hunting and the Enemy Body in Modern War
ISBN: 9781782385202 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Many anthropological accounts of warfare in indigenous societies have described the taking of heads or other body parts as trophies. But almost nothing is known of the prevalence of trophy-taking of this sort in the armed forces of contemporary nation-states. This book is a history of this type of misconduct among military personnel over the past two centuries, exploring its close connections with colonialism, scientific collecting and concepts of race, and how it is a model for violent power relationships between groups.

Getting to Grips with Clinical Governance
ISBN: 9781903378168 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The launch of clinical governance in the late 1990s was accompanied by a measure of excitement although, at that stage, it was impossible to determine whether this was really to be the start of a quality driven revolution in health care. Since its inception, much has been done to turn the concepts behind clinical governance into practical reality. Have these efforts been successful? Many would argue that the jury is still out. The authors of this book have approached the topic from diverse backgrounds: urological surgery, general practice, and public health medicine. The result is a...

Severan Culture
ISBN: 9780521859820 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 569 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Roman Empire during the reigns of Septimius Severus and his successors (AD 193 225) enjoyed a remarkably rich and dynamic cultural life.

It also witnessed the emergence of Christianity on its own terms, in Greek and in Latin, as a major force extending its influence across literature, philosophy, theology, art and even architecture. This volume offers the first wide-ranging and authoritative...

ISBN: 9780415561884 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What is the role of the humanities in the modern school? Should geography, history, RE and Citizenship teachers remain faithful to long-standing subject cultures and pedagogies? Or is there another way to consider how the curriculum, and the notion of individual subjects and teachers' pedagogy, could be constructed? Drawing on case studies taken from a range of innovative secondary schools, and interrogating the use of cross-curricular approaches in UK schools, Cross-Curricular Teaching and Learning in Humanities constructs a research based pedagogy with practical steps for students and...
