Erasmus, Contarini, and the Religious Republic of Letters
ISBN: 9780521849876 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Though the paradigm of modernist progression has been challenged on many fronts, Erasmus and other sixteenth-century figures are still commonly viewed as people who led the transition from a religious Middle Ages to a more godless modern era. By analyzing the lives, work, and correspondence of Erasmus, Thomas More, Margaret More Roper, Reginald Pole, Gasparo Contarini, and Vittoria Colonna, this book demonstrates how these Catholic men and women of letters created a distinctive kind of religious community rooted in friendship and spiritualized scholarship.

The Architecture of Memory: A Jewish-Muslim Household in Colonial Algeria, 1937–1962
ISBN: 9780521418911 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Recalling how they lived in a single house that was occupied by several Jewish and Muslim families, in the generation before Algerian independence, Joelle Bahloul's informants build up a multi-voice microhistory of a way of life that came to an end in the early l960s. Uprooted and dispersed, these former neighbors constantly refer back to the architecture of the home itself, which, with its internal boundaries and shared spaces, structures their memories. Here, in miniature, is a domestic history of North African Muslims, Jews and Christians living under French colonial rule.

ISBN: 9780521653275 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

The book demonstrates the ambivalence at the heart of British linguistic identity, moving from a close analysis of Scottish writers Alexander MacDonald, Adam Smith, Hugh Blair, and Tobias Smollett to a revised understanding of the language use of Samuel Johnson and Jane...

This book explores the politics of wildlife conservation policy in Africa, specifically Zambia, Kenya, and Zimbabwe. The book addresses a general question: Why don't wildlife policies seem to be working? Rather than use standard explanations such as "bureaucratic inefficiency" or "corrupt dictators," the book demonstrates how politicians at all levels use wildlife policy for their own political ends, which may or may not include conservation. The book uses electoral and archival data, as well as interviews with individuals ranging from presidents to poachers to address this issue.

ISBN: 9780521620505 / Angielski / Twarda / 1998 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Scholars have often drawn attention to William Blake's unusual sensitivity to his social context.

Rhetoric and Culture in Lacan
ISBN: 9780521497282 / Angielski / Twarda / 1996 / 292 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. This is the first book to explore Lacan's theory of poetry and its relationship to his understanding of the subject and historicity. Gilbert Chaitin's lucid and accessible study of this famously complex thinker shows how Lacan moves beyond the traditionally hostile polarities of poetics and philosophy. For Lacan, the subject is a complex interplay among psychoanalysis, rationality and history, a combination that enabled him to illuminate literature's role in the creation of selfhood. The ambiguities, contradictions and singularities in Lacan are explored in this definitive account of the...

Technology, Television, and Competition: The Politics of Digital TV
ISBN: 9780521826242 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The advanced industrial countries considered replacing the existing analog television infrastructure with a new digital one in the late 1980s and 1990s. Jeffrey Hart's study demonstrates how nationalism and regionalism combined with conflicting ideas over technology to produce three different and incompatible DTV standards in the U.S., Japan and Europe. The outcome has led to missed opportunities in developing new technologies. Hart's work contributes to our understanding of relations between business and government, and of competition between the world's great economic powers.
