Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Ethnic diversity made New Jersey an early testing ground for the melting pot, as Yankees, Irish, Italians, and blacks strove for a chance at the good life.

He foresees an "equally-oriented New Jersey, honestly and efficiently governed,"...

The Politics of Human Nature
ISBN: 9781560006930 / Angielski / Miękka / 1988 / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The effort to understand human nature in a political context is a daunting challenge that has been undertaken in a variety of ways and by a myriad of disciplines through the ages. From Plato to Hobbes and Burke, to Wallas and Oakeschott in our era, efforts have been made to provide some organic framework for the political study of mankind. What has added greatly to the complexity of the task is the increasing denial, even rejection, in the positivist and behaviorist traditions, of the very notion of a human nature. The work can be described as a series of interlocking...
