Catastrophe and Contention in Rural China: Mao's Great Leap Forward Famine and the Origins of Righteous Resistance in Da Fo Village
ISBN: 9780521897495 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 406 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book documents how China s rural people remember the great famine of Maoist rule, which proved to be the worst famine in modern world history. Ralph A. Thaxton, Jr., sheds new light on how China s socialist rulers drove rural dwellers to hunger and starvation, on how powerless villagers formed resistance to the corruption and coercion of collectivization, and on how their hidden and contentious acts, both individual and concerted, allowed them to survive and escape the predatory grip of leaders and networks in the thrall of Mao s authoritarian plan for a full-throttle realization of...

Divided Jerusalem: The Struggle for the Holy City
ISBN: 9780300137637 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 454 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this timely book, Bernard Wasserstein offers the first authoritative history of the fraught diplomatic relations surrounding the Holy City of Jerusalem. Jews, Muslims, and Christians have all claimed the city as their own over the centuries--as have a dizzying array of foreign nations. In the period between the founding of the city and its capture by Israelis in 1967, Jerusalem has been conquered at least thirty-seven times. "No other town," wrote Arthur Koestler in 1948, "has caused such continuous waves of killing, rape, and unholy misery over the centuries as the Holy City."
Today,... In this timely book, Bernard Wasserstein offers the first authoritative history of the fraught diplomatic relations surrounding the Holy City of Jerus...

ISBN: 9780801885853 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Over the past half-century, the social terrain of health and illness has been transformed. What were once considered normal human events and common human problems--birth, aging, menopause, alcoholism, and obesity--are now viewed as medical conditions. For better or worse, medicine increasingly permeates aspects of daily life. Building on more than three decades of research, Peter Conrad explores the changing forces behind this trend with case studies of short stature, social anxiety, -male menopause, - erectile dysfunction, adult ADHD, and sexual orientation. He examines the... Over the past half-century, the social terrain of health and illness has been transformed. What were once considered normal human events and common... |

Computational Lexical Semantics
ISBN: 9780521444101 / Angielski / Twarda / 1995 / 458 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Lexical semantics has become a major research area within computational linguistics, drawing from psycholinguistics, knowledge representation, and computer algorithms and architecture. Research programmes whose goal is the definition of large lexicons are asking what the appropriate representation structure is for different facets of lexical information. Among these facets, semantic information is probably the most complex and the least explored. Computational Lexical Semantics is one of the first volumes to provide models for the creation of various kinds of computerized lexicons for the...

The Great Wave: Price Revolutions and the Rhythm of History
ISBN: 9780195121216 / Angielski / Miękka / 1999 / 552 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. David Hackett Fischer, one of our most prominent historians, has garnered a reputation for making history come alive--even stories as familiar as Paul Revere's ride, or as complicated as the assimilation of British culture in North America. Now, in The Great Wave, Fischer has done it again, marshaling an astonishing array of historical facts in lucid and compelling prose to outline a history of prices--"the history of change," as Fischer puts it--covering the dazzling sweep of Western history from the medieval glory of Chartres to the modern day. Going far beyond the economic data, Fischer...

Enterprise and Social Benefits after Communism
ISBN: 9780521584036 / Angielski / Twarda / 1997 / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. When the Central and East European Countries (CEECs) began their reforms, many expected enterprises to quickly eliminate the benefits they had previously provided to workers. The papers in this volume explore the evolution of these firm-initiated forms of social protection, examine the tendencies of enterprises to shed some of these responsibilities, and look at the acquisition of new social functions in both newly-privatized and established enterprises.
