A Companion to Latin American Film
ISBN: 9781855661066 / Hiszpański / Twarda / 2004 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Latin American cinema has seen major developments in the past half-century, and some of the most exciting work in contemporary film now originates there. This Companion traces its development from the mid 1890s, with particular attention to the early period when it was dominated by foreign film makers (or foreign models such as Hollywood), through the 1960s when as a genre it found its feet - the New Latin American Cinema movement - and beyond.

Montgomery and Colossal Cracks: The 21st Army Group in Northwest Europe, 1944-45
ISBN: 9780275961626 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. A reinterpretation of the British Army's conduct in the crucial 1944-45 Northwest Europe campaign, this work examines systematically the Colossal Cracks operational technique employed by Montgomery's Anglo-Canadian 21st Army Group and demonstrates the key significance that morale and casualty concerns exerted on this technique. To ensure a full understanding of the campaign, one needs to look not only at Montgomery's methods but at those of his army commanders, Dempsey and Crerar; thus, this study addresses the scant attention to date paid to these two figures. Hart suggests that... A reinterpretation of the British Army's conduct in the crucial 1944-45 Northwest Europe campaign, this work examines systematically the Colossal C... |

Medieval Church Window Tracery in England
ISBN: 9781843837602 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. While the terms used to describe the tracery of medieval church windows are familiar (Early English, Decorated, Perpendicular), there has been no really detailed attempt to examine it as a distinct, stylistic architectural form, a gap which this book seeks to address. Based upon a visual catalogue of over 250 images of surviving types and styles from churches throughout England, it traces the progression of ideas and the continuity of motifs and themes in tracery patterns from the thirteenth to the sixteenth centuries, showing how different themes emerged within the main architectural styles;...

Cultural Dilemmas of Progressive Politics: Styles of Engagement Among Grassroots Activists
ISBN: 9780226318189 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 18-20 dni roboczych. Why have conservatives fared so much better than progressives in recent decades, even though polls show no significant move to the right in public opinion? "Cultural Dilemmas of Progressive Politics" highlights one reason: that progressives often adopt impoverished modes of discourse, ceding the moral high ground to their conservative rivals. Stephen Hart also shows that some progressive groups are pioneering more robust ways of talking about their issues and values, providing examples other progressives could emulate.
Through case studies of grassroots movements particularly the economic... Why have conservatives fared so much better than progressives in recent decades, even though polls show no significant move to the right in public opi...

No Pasarán: Art, Literature and the Civil War
ISBN: 9780729302869 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The six essays collected in this volume are a selection from a number of papers which were given at a one-day colloquium on 'Art, Literature and the Spanish Civil War' which was held in Westfield College on 18 July 1986, precisely fifty years to the day after Franco's military coup in the Canary Islands, which was destined to have such a decisive effect on the course of Spanish history. Though this date subsequently became a Francoist celebration - the so-called 'Dia del Alzamiento' (Day of the Uprising) - the papers collected here do not demonstrate a Francoist bias. The overall approach is...

This book seeks to re-vision the life and work of the Peruvian poet, Cesar Vallejo (1898-1938). It consists of ten essays grouped into three complementary sections on Politics, Poetics and Affect.
