Poetry's Playground: The Culture of Contemporary American Children's Poetry
ISBN: 9780814332962 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 198 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. While the study of children's poetry has always had a place in the realm of children's literature, scholars have not typically considered it in relation to the larger scope of contemporary poetry. In this volume, Joseph T. Thomas, Jr., explores the playground of children's poetry within the world of contemporary adult poetic discourse, bringing the complex social relations of play and games, cliques and fashions, and drama and humor in children's poetry to light for the first time. Poetry's Playground considers children's poetry published in the United States from the mid-twentieth century...

The War Within the Union High Command: Politics and Generalship During the Civil War
ISBN: 9780700612635 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. With Union armies poised to launch the final campaigns against the Confederacy in 1864, three of its five commanders were "political generals"--appointed officers with little or no military training. Army chief of staff Henry Halleck thought such generals jeopardized the lives of men under their command and he and his peers held them in utter contempt. Historians have largely followed suit. Thomas Goss, however, offers a new and more positive assessment of the leadership qualities of these Northern commanders. In the process, he cuts through the stereotypes of political generals as...

A Dialogue Between a Philosopher and a Student of the Common Laws of England
ISBN: 9780226345413 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This little-known late writing of Hobbes reveals an unexplored dimension of his famous doctrine of sovereignty. The essay was first published posthumously in 1681, and from 1840 to 1971 only a generally unreliable edition has been in print. This edition provides the first dependable and easily accessible text of Hobbes's Dialogue. In the Dialogue, Hobbes sets forth his mature reflections of the relation between reason and law, reflections more "liberal" than those found in Leviathan and his other well-known writings. Hobbes proposes a separation of the functions of...

To Loot My Life Clean : The Thomas Wolfe-Maxwell Perkins Correspondence
ISBN: 9781570033551 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The relationship between Thomas Wolfe and his legendary editor, Maxwell Perkins, has been the subject of guesswork and anecdote for seventy years. Beginning with the 1929 publication of Look Homeward, Angel, literary scholars have debated the writer's dependence on his editor and the degree to which Perkins participated in Wolfe's work. Now, with this volume of 251 letters between Wolfe and the House of Scribner (two-thirds of which have never been published), the mythologized friendship between the author and the editor is clarified, and the record can be set straight.

Supply-Side Sustainability offers a fresh approach to this dilemma by integrating ecological and social science approaches in an interdisciplinary treatment of sustainability. Written by two ecologists and an anthropologist, this book discusses...
