The Terror of the Seas?: Scottish Maritime Warfare, 1513-1713
ISBN: 9789004185685 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 444 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This important new book provides the first detailed and clear analysis of the Scots involvement in naval warfare during the early modern period. The lazy use by both contemporaries and some modern authors of the word 'piracy' as a catch-all for all sorts of maritime activity obscures a complex picture of Scottish maritime warfare. Through the use of letters of marque and reprisal (rightly distinguished in this analysis) as well as dedicated Crown fleets, Scottish warfare against against a wide range of enemies are scrutinised. This is an impressive book that makes and important contribution...

Unimpeded Sailing: A Critical Edition of Johann Gröning’s Navigatio Libera (Extended 1698 Edition)
ISBN: 9789004352698 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 162 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The original Latin text of Johann Gröning’s Navigatio libera has never before been translated into any modern vernacular language. Gröning’s intention was to set out the position of neutral nations (in this case the Danes and Swedes), and their right to pursue trade during the wars of the great maritime powers (particularly the English and the Dutch). It specifically sought to engage with and refute the work of Hugo Grotius while taking cognisance of the critique of Gröning’s work by Samuel Pufendorf. The text serves as a bridge between 17th-century polemical discourse surrounding...

Reflections on Multiple Modernities: European, Chinese and Other Interpretations
ISBN: 9789004127975 / Angielski / Twarda / 2002 / 314 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume explores a rapidly emerging paradigm in the social sciences, which assumes culturally specific forms of modernity. Modernization is thus no longer equated with homogenization. Leading scholars from history, sociology, area studies, and economics discuss the concept's implications. The first part covers a range of theoretical questions arising from the new approach. Issues such as the common features of all modernities and their interrelation with regional particularities, the reasons for antinomies of modernity, and the preconditions for a peaceful coexistence of cultures are...
