Wings: A History of Aviation from Kites to the Space Age
ISBN: 9780393326208 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 725 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The invention of the airplane ushered in the modern age--a new era of global commerce, revolutionary technologies, and total war.

The Strange Non-Death of Neo-Liberalism
ISBN: 9780745651200 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Winner of the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung prize
The financial crisis seemed to present a fundamental challenge to neo-liberalism, the body of ideas that have constituted the political orthodoxy of most advanced economies in recent decades. Colin Crouch argues in this book that it will shrug off this challenge. The reason is that while neo-liberalism seems to be about free markets, in practice it is concerned with the dominance over public life of the giant corporation. This has been intensified, not checked, by the recent financial crisis and acceptance that certain financial... Winner of the Friedrich Ebert Stiftung prize
