When a Scottish oil rig worker is badly injured, the compensation he wins buys him much more than the long holiday he bargained for... Taking a fishing excursion to a remote island, our hero effectively takes a step back in time, leaving the twenty-first century behind for the beautiful simplicity of an uncomplicated life. But all is not well in this newfound paradise, and our hero finds his tranquil existence disturbed by tribal warfare. A poignant and subtle juxtaposition of two ways of life, two disparate ways of thinking that must eventually meet, forms a subtle backdrop for this...

Austerity and Recovery in Ireland: Europe's Poster Child and the Great Recession
ISBN: 9780198792376 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. In international commentary and debate on the effects of the Great Recession and austerity, Ireland has been hailed as the poster child for economic recovery and regeneration out of deep economic and fiscal contraction. While the genesis of Ireland's financial, economic and fiscal crisis has been covered in the literature, no systematic analysis has yet been devoted to the period of austerity, to the impact of austerity on institutions and people, or to the roots of economic recovery.

Realizing the Distinctive University: Vision and Values, Strategy and Culture
ISBN: 9780268101473 / Angielski / Miękka / 2017 / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In Realizing the Distinctive University: Vision and Values, Strategy and Culture, Mark Roche changes the terms of the debate about American higher education. A former dean of the College of Arts and Letters at the University of Notre Dame, Roche argues for the importance of an institutional vision, not simply a brand, and while he extols the value of entrepreneurship, he defines it in contrast to the corporate drive toward commercialization and demands for business management models. Using the history of the German university to assess the need for, and implementation of, distinctive...

Why Literature Matters in the 21st Century
ISBN: 9780300212020 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Not just another jeremiad against prevailing isms and orthodoxies, Why Literature Matters in the 21st Century examines literature in its connection to virtue and moral excellence. The author is concerned with literature as the teacher of virtue. The current crisis in the humanities, Mark William Roche argues, may be traced back to the separation of art and morality. ("When the distinction between is and ought is leveled," he writes, "the power of the professions increases.") The arts and humanities concern themselves with the fate and prospects of humankind. Today that fate and those...

Writing Politics in Imperial Rome
ISBN: 9789004156715 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 555 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Roman literature is inherently political in the varied contexts of its production and the abiding concerns of its subject matter. This collection examines the strategies and techniques of political writing at Rome in a broad range of literature spanning almost two centuries, differing political systems, climates, and contexts.

Alfred Hitchcock: Filmmaker and Philosopher
ISBN: 9781474221306 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Hitchcock was a masterful director, popular with audiences of all ages and critically acclaimed both during and after his unusually long career. What may have been sensed by many viewers but not fully articulated until now is the extent to which his works subtly engage philosophical themes: What is evil, and how does it shield and reveal itself? Can we know what is inside the mind of another person? What is at stake when one knows the truth but cannot speak of it or cannot persuade others? How is Hitchcock’s loving critique of humanity manifested in his films? Why are Hitchcock’s works so...
