Revolt, Revolution, Critique: The Paradox of Society
ISBN: 9780415495455 / Angielski / Miękka / 204 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In contemporary society the idea of 'revolution' seems to have become obsolete. What is more untimely than the idea of revolution today? At the same time, however, the idea of radical change no longer refers to exceptional circumstances but has become normalized as part of daily life. Ours is a 'culture' of permanent revolution in which constant systemic disembedding demands a meta-stable subjectivity in continuous transformation. In this sense, the idea of revolution is painfully timely. This paradoxical coincidence, the simultaneous absence and presence of the desire for radical change...

A Carnival of Revolution: Central Europe 1989
ISBN: 9780691116273 / Angielski / Miękka / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is the first history of the revolutions that toppled communism in Europe to look behind the scenes at the grassroots movements that made those revolutions happen. It looks for answers not in the salons of power brokers and famed intellectuals, not in decrepit economies--but in the whirlwind of activity that stirred so crucially, unstoppably, on the street. Melding his experience in Solidarity-era Poland with the sensibility of a historian, Padraic Kenney takes us into the hearts and minds of those revolutionaries across much of Central Europe who have since faded namelessly back into...

Choosing Sides: Loyalists in Revolutionary America
ISBN: 9781442205710 / Angielski / Twarda / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Though scores of texts, films and stories have been told about the American Revolution from the perspectives of our Founding Fathers and their followers, comparatively little is known about those colonists who resisted the revolutionary movement, and tried desperately to preserve their nation s ties to the British Empire. Choosing Sides: Loyalists in Revolutionary America shows us that America s original colonies were not nearly as united behind the concept of forming free, independent states as our society s collective memory would have us believe. There were, in fact, numerous colonists,...

The Letters of Rosa Luxemburg

The most comprehensive collection of letters by Rosa Luxemburg ever published in English, this book includes 190 letters written to leading figures in the European and international labor and socialist movements--Leo Jogiches, Karl Kautsky, Clara Zetkin and Karl Liebknecht--who were among her closest friends, lovers and colleagues.

ISBN: 9781844673209 / Angielski / Miękka / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Thomas Muntzer was a radical pastor frustrated by the Reformation.

Why Occupy a Square? : People, Protests and Movements in the Egyptian Revolution
ISBN: 9781849042659 / Angielski / Miękka Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. On 25 January 2011, tens of thousands of Egyptians came out on the streets to protest against emergency rule and police brutality. Eighteen days later, Mubarak, one of the longest sitting dictators in the region, had gone. How are we to make sense of these events? Was this a revolution, a revolutionary moment? How did the protests come about? How were they able to outmanoeuvre the police? Was this really a 'leaderless revolution, ' as so many pundits claimed, or were the protests an out- growth of the protest networks that had developed over the past decade? Why did so many people with no...

Triumf Napoleona
ISBN: 9788361324621 / Polski / Twarda / 406 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Każdy młody badacz zaczynający swoją przygodę z epoką napoleońską potrafi z pewnością jednym tchem wymienić wielkie zwycięstwa Cesarza Francuzów, takie jak Austerlitz, Jena , Frydland, czy Wagram. Szczególnie te trzy najwcześniejsze są dość powszechnie znane, jako że pierwsze z nich zostało osiągnięte nad Rosjanami, z którymi Francuzi walczyli po raz pierwszy od czasów wojen rewolucyjnych i mieli z nimi kilka rachunków do wyrównania, choćby z pól bitewnych Trebbi czy Novi. Bitwa trzech cesarzy pokazała po raz kolejny zalety żołnierza francuskiego oraz dała...

Wojny Marlborougha (1702-1709)
ISBN: 9788365495396 / Polski / Twarda / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Chociaż życie Marlborougha zostało opisane wiele razy i w różnym stylu, opisanie go jeszcze raz jest aż nadto uzasadnione.
Dwaj i tylko dwaj biografowie potraktowali temat w odpowiedni sposób. Książka archidiakona Coxe’a jest bardzo dokładna, jeśli chodzi o okres po 1702 roku. Książka lorda Wolseleya, która kończy się na tej dacie, zupełnie zdezaktualizowała wcześniejsze rozdziały archidiakona. Łącznie te dwie prace obejmują cały temat. Zebranie wyników żmudnych badań ich autorów w jednym tomie wydaje się wskazanym, choć niezbyt ambitnym przedsięwzięciem....

Revolutionary Ideology and Political Destiny in Mexico, 1928-1934: Lazaro Cardenas and Adalberto Tejeda
ISBN: 9781845197773 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Lazaro Cardenas and Adalberto Tejeda, veterans of the Revolution and prominent governors of Michoacan and Veracruz from 1928 to 1932, strived to make Mexico a modern and just state on the basis of the revolutionary constitution. Both political projects had unprecedented success but totally different implications. The fate of the two governors corresponded to the fate of national revolutionary reformism and thus to the destiny of Mexico.
