ISBN: 9780745647524 / Angielski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What Time is it There? is a history of worlds that encounter each other without ever meeting.

This preoccupation with other worlds and consciousness of the differences that separate them have become a persistent theme of our world today, shaped as it has been by the complex flows of people, images and ideas that we have come to associate with the term 'globalization'.

ISBN: 9780826348838 / Angielski / Miękka / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During the long dictatorship of Porfirio Daz, from 1876 to 1911, Esposito asserts that Mexico gained both national pride and its international personality due to Diazs reliance on memorialism, death and ceremony. Porfirian state constructed dozens of national monuments, performed countless commemorations, and held 110 state funerals. These magisterial displays of state power created an aura of legitimacy that helped the eight term dictator stay in power.
