Becoming Insomniac: How Sleeplessness Alarmed Modernity
ISBN: 9781137268730 / Angielski / Twarda / 257 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Poets, journalists, and doctors of the Victorian period found themselves in near-universal agreement that modernity and sleep were somehow incompatible, imagining that the new, cutting-edge technologies - the telegraph, telephone, the electric light, and the railway - were perpetually encroaching upon the night and the mind to interrupt normal sleep cycles. This book explores the theories surrounding this history of modern insomnia, how the modern world is essentially 'Becoming Insomniac.' It investigates what makes the sleepless condition so special - involving strange paradoxes of attention...

ISBN: 9781137391995 / Angielski / Twarda / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Masculinity and Nationhood, 1830-1910 looks at 'masculine' patriotic behaviour in schools, army and parliament in nineteenth century Belgium. Schoolboys singing on excursion, soldiers acting out a shot wound on the maneuvering field and politicians raising their voices against effeminacy: all articulated their manly love of the nation in their own way. In recent years, much has been written about masculinity and citizenship in modern Europe. However, little is yet available about the learning process in which children and young men engaged in order to look, walk and talk like mature men and...

Marx and Engels's German Ideology Manuscripts: Presentation and Analysis of the Feuerbach Chapter
ISBN: 9781137485434 / Angielski / Twarda / 389 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Since the 1920s, scholars have promoted a set of manuscripts, long abandoned by Marx and Engels, to canonical status in book form as The German Ideology, and in particular its 'first chapter, ' known as 'I. Feuerbach.' Part one of this revolutionary study relates in detail the political history through which these manuscripts were editorially fabricated into editions and translations, so that they could represent an important exposition of Marx's 'theory of history.' Part two presents a wholly-original view of the so-called 'Feuerbach' manuscripts in a page-by-page English-language rendition...

Nineteenth-Century Philosophy of Religion: The History of Western Philosophy of Religion, Volume 4
ISBN: 9781844652235 / Angielski / Twarda / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The nineteenth century was a turbulent period in the history of the philosophical scrutiny of religion. Major scholars - such as Hegel, Fichte, Schelling, Newman, Caird and Royce - sought to construct systematic responses to the Enlightenment critiques of religion carried out by Spinoza and Hume. At the same time, new critiques of religion were launched by philosophers such as Schopenhauer and Nietzsche and by scholars engaged in textual criticism, such as Schleiermacher and Dilthey. Over the course of the century, the work of Marx, Freud, Darwin and Durkheim brought the revolutionary...

A Widening Sphere (Routledge Revivals): Changing Roles of Victorian Women
ISBN: 9780415837071 / Angielski / Miękka / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) First published in 1977, this book is a companion volume to Suffer and Be Still. It looks at the widening sphere of women's activities in the Victorian age and testifies to the dual nature of the legal and social constraints of the period: on the one hand, the ideal of the perfect lady and the restrictive laws governing marriage and property posed limits to women's independence; on the other hand, some Victorian women chose to live lives of great variety and complexity. By uncovering new data and reinterpreting old, the contributors in this volume debunk some of the myths surrounding the...

Suffer and Be Still (Routledge Revivals): Women in the Victorian Age
ISBN: 9780415836494 / Angielski / Miękka / 238 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) First published in 1972, this book contains a collection of ten essays that document the feminine stereotypes that women fought against, and only partially erased, a hundred years ago. In an introductory essay, Martha Vicinus describes the perfect Victorian lady, showing that the ideal was a combination of sexual innocence, conspicuous consumption and worship of the family hearth. Indeed, this model in some form was the ideal of all classes as the perfect lady's only functions were marriage and procreation. The text offers a valuable insight into Victorian culture and society.

ISBN: 9780674967649 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Napoleon's campaigns were the most complex military undertakings in history before the nineteenth century. But the defining battles of Austerlitz, Borodino, and Waterloo changed more than the nature of warfare. Concepts of chance, contingency, and probability became permanent fixtures in the West's understanding of how the world works. Empire of Chance examines anew the place of war in the history of Western thought, showing how the Napoleonic Wars inspired a new discourse on knowledge. Soldiers returning from the battlefields were forced to reconsider basic questions about... Napoleon's campaigns were the most complex military undertakings in history before the nineteenth century.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) The new world created through Anglophone emigration in the 19th century has been much studied. But there have been few accounts of what this meant for the Indigenous populations.

Moltke and His Generals: A Study in Leadership
ISBN: 9781910294413 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) When Helmuth von Moltke took over as Chief of the Prussian General Staff, the Prussian army had not fought for more than forty years. Yet within a decade and a half he had brought it to the point where it was the strongest in Europe. His successes on the battle field led to his methods being painstakingly analyzed by commentators and slavishly imitated by Western armies.
His success was not only due to far sighted strategic planning, the comprehensive reorganization of the General Staff and his grasp of new technologies; it was also due to his leadership of a talented, if disparate,...

It is said he commanded in more battles than any other British soldier of this period, save for the Duke of Wellington. Despite this there are many who have questioned his command capability and his competence, particularly where the two Sikh Wars are concerned. In this, the first major account of his life for over one hundred years, the author seeks not to defend Gough but to better understand him. This is done by attempting to draw out the other periods of his...
