Air Empire: British Imperial Civil Aviation, 1919-39
ISBN: 9780719041112 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Air empire is a fresh study of civil aviation as a tool of late British imperialism.
The first pioneering flights across the British empire in 1919-20 were flag-waving adventures that recreated an era of plucky British maritime exploration and conquest. Britain's development of international air routes and services was approved, organised and celebrated largely in London; there was some resistance in and beyond the subordinate colonies and dominions. Negotiating the financing and geopolitics of regular commercial air service delayed its inception until the 1930s. Technological,...

Cultures and Caricatures of British Imperial Aviation: Passengers, Pilots, Publicity
ISBN: 9780719086823 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Cultures and caricatures of British imperial aviation assembles an unprecedented mass of scattered evidence to examine the social exclusivity of people who used private and commercial aircraft to circulate though the empire in the 1930s. While airline publicity stressed flying patriotically and in style, flying was not always slick, romantic or modern. It did not end danger or delay, nor was it necessarily progressive. Imperial flying was mobility laced with imperious assumptions and prejudices. It reinforced social rank and continued to depend on the subservience and muscle of colonised...

Leaf Protein: And Its By-Products in Human and Animal Nutrition
ISBN: 9780521330305 / Angielski / Twarda / 1987 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This is an extensively revised second edition of N. W. Pirie's much acclaimed earlier work, Leaf Protein and Other Aspects of Fodder Fractionation (Cambridge University Press 1978). The fibrous character and flavour of many leaf crops impede their use as green vegetables, and feeding them directly to animals is relatively inefficient. The advantages of separating a fraction for use as human food, and a residue for animal feeding, have gained recognition during the last ten years. In suitable climates, fractionating leafy material can yield more edible protein than other forms of agriculture....

ISBN: 9781491886311 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. "Sixteen year old Kat Whittaker led a normal, boring life up until the day she had a near death experience and came back being able to communicate with ghosts. She gets outcast from her social circle and befriends the new kid, Kevin, who surprisingly now shares the same ability as Kat. They discover that their local high school used to be an old lunatic asylum that was home to a cult of devil-worshippers, and the arrival of the suddenly gifted teenagers stirs up these things that should have remained buried forever. The dark spirits and the demons are awake, and now nobody and nowhere is safe...

Anthropology of Law
ISBN: 9780199696857 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Questions about the nature of law, its relationship with custom, and the distinctive form of legal rules, categories, and reasoning, are placed at the centre of this introduction to the anthropology of law. It brings empirical scholarship within the scope of legal philosophy, while suggesting new avenues of inquiry for the anthropologist.
Going beyond the functional and instrumental aspects of law that underlie traditional ethnographic studies of order and conflict resolution, The Anthropology of Law considers contemporary debates on human rights and new forms of property, but also delves...

The Korean Developmental State: From Dirigisme to Neo-Liberalism
ISBN: 9780415547086 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Korean Developmental State is a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of processes of state and economic restructuring in South Korea since the 1997 crisis. The book distinguishes itself from previous studies by consistently arguing that structural changes in the global political economy have played a crucial role in reshaping the Korean state's own economic project. More precisely, Iain Pirie seeks to demonstrate how the Korean state increasingly adopted neo-liberal policies from the 1980s onwards as a rational response to the evolution of global economic structures; an...
