ISBN: 9780710313409 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. World War II drastically changed the environment in which scientific researchers worked.

The first part concerns scientists working in warring countries like the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany and the United States,...

ISBN: 9780739105757 / Angielski / Twarda / 274 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The classical utilitarian legacy of Jeremy Bentham, J. S.
