The Return of the Native
ISBN: 9780375757181 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. One of Thomas Hardy's most powerful works, The Return of the Native centers famously on Egdon Heath, the wild, haunted Wessex moor that D. H. Lawrence called "the real stuff of tragedy." The heath's changing face mirrors the fortunes of the farmers, inn-keepers, sons, mothers, and lovers who populate the novel. The "native" is Clym Yeobright, who comes home from a cosmopolitan life in Paris. He; his cousin Thomasin; her fiance, Damon Wildeve; and the willful Eustacia Vye are the protagonists in a tale of doomed love, passion, alienation, and melancholy as Hardy brilliantly explores that theme...

John Dewey's Theory of Art, Experience, and Nature
ISBN: 9780887064265 / Angielski / Miękka / 1987 / 354 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Thomas Alexander shows that the primary, guiding concern of Dewey's philosophy is his theory of aesthetic experience. He directly challenges those critics, most notably Stephen Pepper and Benedetto Croce, who argued that this area is the least consistent part of Dewey's thought. The author demonstrates that the fundamental concept in Dewey's system is that of "experience" and that paradigmatic treatment of experience is to be found in Dewey's analysis of aesthetics and art. The confusions resulting from the neglect of this orientation have led to prolonged misunderstandings, eventual...

The Human Eros: Eco-Ontology and the Aesthetics of Existence
ISBN: 9780823251216 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 456 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Human Eros: Eco-ontology and the Aesthetics of Existence explores themes in classical American philosophy, primarily that of John Dewey, but also in the thought of Ralph Waldo Emerson, George Santayana, and Native American traditions. The primary claim is that human beings exist with a need for the experience of meaning and value, a "Human Eros." Our various cultures are symbolic environments or "spiritual ecologies" within which the Human Eros can thrive. This is how we inhabit the earth. Encircling and sustaining our cultural existence is nature. Western philosophy has not generally...

The Evolution of the Ancient City: Urban Theory and the Archaeology of the Fertile Crescent
ISBN: 9780739138700 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Urban theory and archaeology merge to create a readable discussion of how ancient cities came to be. Although many consider our modern social ills to be the consequence of Capitalism, many urban problems are traceable to pre-Capitalist times and thus are more related to Urbanization. Ancient cities shared many characteristics with modern cities. For instance, the ancient cities of Rome and Carthage at the time of Christ had population densities approaching that of Manhattan Island today. The Canaanites, fifteen hundred years before, lived in cities oriented toward trade and dependent upon...

In Gotham's Shadow: Globalization and Community Change in Central New York
ISBN: 9780791455968 / Angielski / Miękka / 2003 / 205 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In what may be the first explicitly comparative study of the effects of globalization on metropolitan and rural communities, In Gotham's Shadow examines how three central New York communities struggled over the last half century to survive in a global economy that seems to have forgotten them. Utica, formerly a city of one hundred thousand, experienced the same trends of suburbanization, deindustrialization, and urban renewal as nearly every American city, with the same mixed results. In Cooperstown and Hartwick, two small villages forty miles south of Utica, the same trends were at work,...

Willow's Pawn
ISBN: 9781503169104 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Time is running out As the world's clocks move swiftly onward, the action surges from the office of President Harry Truman to KGB headquarters in Moscow, and on to a desolate Texas village where a one-eyed, beer-swilling billy goat serves as mayor--and dead flys are used as poker chips. Among the characters caught up in this whirlwind are two highly decorated army bomber pilots, a hard-drinking, tough-talking female war correspondent--and a Yale-educated Mexican bandit who glues on a false mustache each morning in order to maintain his machisimo. As the story shifts from scene to scene,...

Critical Rural Theory: Structure, Space, Culture
ISBN: 9780739135600 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Critical Rural Theory is an attempt to bring together the concepts of structure, space, and culture in order to explain the relationship between rural communities and urban society. The overarching theme revolves around the many ways-structural, spatial, and cultural-in which urban systems create and maintain a hegemonic relationship with rural areas and people. Central to this theme is the concept of urbanormativity: the cultural assumption of the dominance and superiority of urban communities and patterns of life. Urbanormativity is an outgrowth of the structural forces in an urban...

The One and Only Rattlesnake Bomber Base: Pyote Army Airfield in World War II
ISBN: 9781880510902 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In a remote corner of West Texas in 1942, the dreaded western diamondback rattlesnake was awarded the unique distinction of having a mighty airfield named in its honor. Although the installation originally bore the official title of Pyote Army Airfield, the massive quantity of serpents encountered during the construction of the base quickly earned it the nickname of "The Rattlesnake Bomber Base." For the thousands of military men and women who served on the airfield and the additional thousands of civilians who worked there, what is now only a ghostly ruin will always be a vibrant and undying...

Gilboa: New York's Quest for Water and the Destruction of a Small Town
ISBN: 9780761830702 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. On the night of October 18, 1925, fire raged through the downtown area of the tiny Catskill Mountain Village of Gilboa, New York. Firefighters came from miles around to fight the inferno while tourists sat on the hilltops to watch the show. In the end, 18 buildings lay in smoldering ruins. Yet, this fire was not the end of Gilboa, merely a climax of events that were razing the community more slowly. Gilboa was in the way of the Schoharie Reservoir, one of the numerous artificial lakes collecting water for thirsty New Yorkers. In order for New York City to growing, the people of Gilboa would...
