ISBN: 9781474298339 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 264 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Judging other people and being judged by them is an inescapable part of our social reality.

Ziyad Marar's provocative and thoroughly engaging exploration of judgement in our contemporary world is an urgent work responding to the fragility of reputation - when one careless tweet can destroy a career or one foolish image...

Yet one only has to look around on Valentine's Day for a sobering reminder that there is rather less intimacy in the world than there appears to be. Popular culture assures us that couples, friends, family members and even strangers on a train can easily find that sense of deep connection and mutual understanding. Yet in an age of consumption and new media where friending has become a verb, genuine intimacy seems harder to find than ever. Drawing on novels and films as well as psychology, sociology and philosophy, Ziyad Marar offers four lenses through which to...

Intimacy
ISBN: 9781844658220 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The hope for intimacy lies deep within us all. That moment of feeling uniquely understood, the antidote to isolation, is what gives us value, validation and self-belief. But as Ziyad Marar shows in this fascinating and engaging study, intimacy is a tricky business. The prevalence of social media, for example, is a sign of our desire for human connection, yet is a symptom of how little we truly achieve it. Often confused with love, intimacy is in many ways more important. Marar's investigation and celebration of this elusive but profound human experience shows how intimacy is central to a...
