This is a narrative of the Earth's long and dramatic history, as gleaned from a single pebble. It begins as the pebble-particles form amid unimaginable violence in distal realms of the Universe, in the Big Bang and in supernova explosions and continues amid the construction of the Solar System. Jan Zalasiewicz shows the almost incredible complexity present in such... This is the story of a single pebble. It is just a normal pebble, as you might pick up on holiday - on a beach in Wales, say.

In this Very Short Introduction Jan Zalsiewicz looks at the nature and variety of rocks, and the... Rocks, more than anything else, underpin our lives. They make up the solid structure of the Earth and of other rocky planets, and are present at the c...

The Mind of John Locke: A Study of Political Theory in its Intellectual Setting
ISBN: 9780521356039 / Angielski / Twarda / 1994 / 452 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.) John Locke (1632SH1704) is a central figure in the history of liberal doctrine. His mind spanned questions concerning Christian worship, ethics, political economy, medicine, human understanding, revealed theology, and education. The effect of this study is both to show how the character of his wider concerns informed The Two Treatises of Government and to indicate how his political theory, in its turn, contributed to the further development of his vision. The book therefore offers the first fully integrated study of the mind of John Locke.
