ISBN: 9781451538298 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Confessions of a Dodger Fan is the story of an eight-year old boy in Manhattan who turns on the radio, hears Red Barber broadcasting a Dodger game, and becomes a lifelong fan. Mickey Owen's passed ball against the Yankees in 1941 is his first experience of bitter loss. During the war, while his father is stationed in Norfolk, Virginia, he sees his first game, between two navy teams, and comes home with an autographed ball signed by, among others, the Dodger shortstop Pee Wee Reese, one of the many players then in service. He grows up on John Tunis's baseball stories for young readers. He...

The Sad Story of Burton, Speke, and the Nile; Or, Was John Hanning Speke a Cad?: Looking at the Evidence
ISBN: 9780804753258 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This is a study of the famous controversy between Richard Burton and John Hanning Speke, fellow explorers who quarreled over Speke's claim to have discovered the source of the Nile during their African expedition in 1857-59. Speke died of a gunshot wound, probably accidental, the day before a scheduled debate with Burton in 1864. Burton has had the upper hand in subsequent accounts. Speke has been called a "cad." In light of new evidence and after a careful reading of duelling texts, Carnochan concludes that the case against Speke remains unproven-and that the story, as normally told,...

The Battleground of the Curriculum: Liberal Education and American Experience
ISBN: 9780804723640 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. 'The crisis of liberal education is ... an intellectual crisis of the first magnitude, which constitutes the crisis of our civilization.' These doomsday words of Allan Bloom in The Closing of the American Mind (1987) are among the latest and most politically inflammatory manifestations of a 'crisis' that this book demonstrates has been going on for two centuries. In contrast to the heated polemics and hyperbole of current debates concerning the role of higher education in the United States, this eloquent, balanced, and witty book seeks to bring sense to a volatile subject by reminding us that...

Golden Legends: Images of Abyssinia, Samuel Johnson to Bob Marley
ISBN: 9780804760980 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. From the eighteenth century to the present, travellers, explorers, journalists, imaginative writers like Samuel Johnson, and legendary reggae musician Bob Marley have shared a fascination with Abyssinia. So did even earlier writers and mapmakers, who thought Abyssinia was the land of the mythical (and fabulously rich) Christian ruler, Prester John. The principal subject of this book is the allure of the exotic, as represented by Abyssinia, to the British imagination. In addition to Johnson and Marley, some others included are the eighteenth-century Scot James Bruce, nineteenth-century...

Looking for Ground: Countertransference and the Problem of Value in Psychoanalysis
ISBN: 9781138005570 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Despite a half-century of literature documenting the experience and meanings of countertransference in analytic practice, the concept remains a source of controversy. For Peter Carnochan, this can be addressed only by revisiting historical, epistemological, and moral issues intrinsic to the analytic enterprise. Looking for Ground is the first attempt to provide a comprehensive understanding of countertransference on the basis of a contemporary reappraisal of just such foundational assumptions. Carnochan begins by reviewing the history of the psychoanalytic encounter and how it...

Looking for Ground: Countertransference and the Problem of Value in Psychoanalysis
ISBN: 9780881633245 / Angielski / Twarda / 2001 / 432 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Despite 50 years of literature documenting the experience and meanings of countertransference in analytic practice, the concept remains a source of controversy. How may countertransference best be understood? In what ways does it impede or facilitate the analyst's activity. Does it serve diagnostic understanding or merely reflect the analyst's own intrusive subjectivity? For Peter Carnochan, such questions can be answered only by revisiting historical, epistemological, and moral issues intrinsic to the analytic enterprise. This study is an attempt to provide a comprehensive understanding of...
