Literary Englands: Versions of 'Englishness' in Modern Writing
ISBN: 9780521443388 / Angielski / Twarda / 1993 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In our time Englishness has become a theme for speculation rather than dogma; twentieth-century writers have found it an elusive and ambivalent concept, a cue for nostalgia or for a sense of exile and loss. Literary Englands meditates on modern meanings of Englishness and explores some of the ways in which a sense of nationality has informed and shaped the work of a range of writers including Edward Thomas, Forster and Lawrence, Leavis and George Sturt, Orwell and Evelyn Waugh, Betjeman, Larkin and Geoffrey Hill.

From Frontiers to Borders: How Colonial Technicians Created Modern Territoriality
ISBN: 9781009553001 / Angielski / Twarda / 2025 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. How did modern territoriality emerge and what are its consequences? This book examines these key questions with a unique global perspective. Kerry Goettlich argues that linear boundaries are products of particular colonial encounters, rather than being essentially an intra-European practice artificially imposed on colonized regions. He reconceptualizes modern territoriality as a phenomenon separate from sovereignty and the state, based on expert practices of delimitation and demarcation. Its history stems from the social production of expertise oriented towards these practices. Employing both...

Modulated Temperature Differential Scanning Calorimetry: Theoretical and Practical Applications in Polymer Characterisation
ISBN: 9789048169528 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 330 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. MTDSC provides a step-change increase in the power of calorimetry to characterize virtually all polymer systems including curing systems, blends and semicrystalline polymers. It enables hidden transitions to be revealed, miscibility to be accurately assessed, and phases and interfaces in complex blends to be quantified. It also enables crystallinity in complex systems to be measured and provides new insights into melting behaviour. All of this is achieved by a simple modification of conventional DSC. In 1992 a new calorimetric technique was introduced that superimposed a...

Samuel Beckett and the Visual Arts
ISBN: 9781108436373 / Angielski / Miękka / 2021 / 275 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Samuel Beckett and the Visual Arts is the first book to comprehensively assess Beckett's knowledge of art, art history and art criticism.

In doing so it demonstrates that Beckett's thinking about art...

The Ghetto: A Very Short Introduction
ISBN: 9780198809951 / Angielski / Miękka / 2020 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. For three hundred years the ghetto defined Jewish culture in the late medieval and early modern period in Western Europe. In the nineteenth-century it was a free-floating concept which travelled to Eastern Europe and the United States. Eastern European <"ghettos>", which enabled genocide, were crudely rehabilitated by the Nazis during World War Two as if they were part of a benign medieval tradition. In the United States, the word ghetto was routinely applied to endemic black ghettoization which has lasted from 1920 until the present. Outside of America <"the ghetto>" has been universalized...

The Constitutionalist Revolution: An Essay on the History of England, 1450–1642
ISBN: 9780521782692 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 328 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. An innovative account of English constitutional ideas from the mid-fifteenth century to the time of Charles I, showing how the emergence of grand claims for common law, the country's strange unwritten legal system, shaped England's cultural development. Though he does not neglect the role of narrowly religious disagreements, Cromartie brings out the way that 'religious' and 'secular' values came to be closely intertwined: to the majority of Charles's subjects, the rights of the clergy and the king were legal rights; the institutional structure of Church and state was an expression of...
