Stephen Knott's fascinating study explores the curious and unexpected attributes of things made outside standardised models of mass production, arguing that amateur craft practice is 'differential' - a temporary moment of control over work that both departs from and informs our productive engagement with the world.

Alexander Hamilton and the Persistence of Myth
ISBN: 9780700614196 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Alexander Hamilton and the Persistence of Myth explores the shifting reputation of our most controversial founding father. Since the day Aaron Burr fired his fatal shot, Americans have tried to come to grips with Alexander Hamilton's legacy.

Rush to Judgment: George W. Bush, the War on Terror, and His Critics
ISBN: 9780700620227 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 246 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. George W. Bush has been branded the worst president in history and forced to endure accusations that he abused his power while presiding over a "lawless" administration.

Secret and Sanctioned: Covert Operations and the American Presidency
ISBN: 9780195100983 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Today when we think of covert operations, we think of American-backed mercenaries circulating through jungle camps of Contra guerrillas, CIA agents plotting coups against governments in Chile and Libya, or the lethal cigars used in an attempt to assassinate Castro. In the public imagination, these kinds of operations--often seeming to go over the line, and always hidden from Congress and the American people--are a recent innovation, a rogue offspring of the Cold War, and perhaps even a violation of the democratic ideals on which this country was founded. But in this fascinating volume,...
