Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) For the small Midwestern town of California, Missouri, 1968 heralded another year when parents stared in dread at television screens sending images of soldiers mangled in Vietnam. Ernie and Christa Bates performed their daily toils, but never far from their thoughts was an only son named Aaron. The young man shared a strong Christian faith with his mother, and she prayed for him fervently, knowing that his prayers too were directed to God. But Ernie did not share their faith, could only invoke a spirit world that he knew existed, but did not trust. And while his son fought on soil half a...

ISBN: 9780306814501 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The case of James Somerset, an escaped slave, in June of 1772 in London's Westminster Hall was a decisive turning point in human history.

From the shadows of my soul
ISBN: 9781451567250 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The geneses of stories are as infinite as the chambers of the heart. Some come from the light, others from the shadows, and when from the shadows, the teller is exposed--stripped naked and vulnerable before the eyes of the reader. A fair question for the teller: Why expose yourself? The only answer that I know of is that a purging is sought, though the cruel end is that it will never be fully attained.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Rattling the Cage explains how the failure to recognize the basic legal rights of chimpanzees and bonobos in light of modern scientific findings creates a glaring contradiction in our law.

The Evolution of Memory Systems: Ancestors, Anatomy, and Adaptations
ISBN: 9780198817130 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 528 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Current theories about human memory have been shaped by clinical observations and animal experiments. This doctrine holds that the medial temporal lobe subserves one memory system for explicit or declarative memories, while the basal ganglia subserves a separate memory system for implicit or procedural memories, including habits. Cortical areas outside the medial temporal lobe are said to function in perception, motor control, attention, or other aspects of executive
function, but not in memory. 'The Evolution of Memory Systems' advances dramatically different ideas on all counts. It... Current theories about human memory have been shaped by clinical observations and animal experiments. This doctrine holds that the medial temporal lob...
