ISBN: 9780198206606 / Angielski / Twarda / 346 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. European Universities from the Enlightenment to 1914 is an authoritative and unique work.

ISBN: 9780199276356 / Angielski / Twarda / 410 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. All Souls College in Oxford is a unique academic institution and has had a unique history.

It brings together sixteen substantial studies of some of the college's most significant figures, among them the architect and polymath Christopher Wren and the great eighteenth-century lawyer William Blackstone. Its chapters trace the involvement of...

She provides both a broad philosophical and historical analysis of education in any republic and specific, practical suggestions for achieving the education that will serve as the best preparation for life in our own republic.
