Malice in Wonderland : The Bush Junta From 2000-Present
ISBN: 9781425947781 / Angielski / Miękka / 364 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. When I sat down to write this book, it was not an attempt to create a renowned literary work, nor was it about money or profit. I had become deeply saddened and angered, to the verge of outrage, due to the venal actions of my (elected?) government. This book speaks to the lies, hypocrisy and nefarious activities of this Bush bastard and his "colleagues-in-crime." I have no political affiliation per se. This is not about "Right" or "Left"--in this book I speak to right and wrong! This man (now there's an oxymoron) and his cronies have come to us with God on their lips and blood on their hands....

The Last Crusade : Americanism and the Islamic Reformation
ISBN: 9781597971652 / Angielski / Miękka / 273 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The United States, argues Michael A. Palmer, is engaged in a political crusade to modernize the Islamic world. Americanism is in the vanguard of modernity's relentless advance, promoting capitalist markets and democratic institutions. To compete, Islamic societies must adopt a more secular and material approach, as have the West and South and East Asia. But these principles conflict with Islamic fundamentals.
Once a vibrant force, much of the Muslim world spent four centuries as prisoner of an Ottoman Empire that embraced feudalism while the West jettisoned it. In the absence of a...

Post-War Identification : Everyday Muslim Counter-discourse in Bosnia Herzegovina
ISBN: 9788779343139 / Angielski / Miękka / 315 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. Before the war, ethnic identity in Bosnia Herzegovina was only one identity among others, and ethnic differences were embedded in everyday practices. Today, ethnic difference is all there is. The Muslims of Stolac are fully aware that as Muslims, they constitute a totally separate group - and that ethnic identity is by far the most important form of identity in present-day Bosnia Herzegovina. In that regard, the nationalist project has succeeded. Such a crystallization and explication of identity fits in well with the structurally inspired anthropology of war and violence, which theorizes...

But do Germany and Europe still have a social formation that continues the tradition of the bourgeoisie after the civil era?

Five fields are in the center of attention: civil society, everyday culture, education and upbringing, enterprise, as well as policies and...
