ISBN: 9780861932559 / Angielski / Twarda / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. England's first Protestant foreign policy venture took place under Henry VIII, who in the wake of the break with Rome pursued diplomatic contacts with the League of Schmalkalden, the German Protestant alliance.

Martin Luther in Motion Pictures : History of a Metamorphosis
ISBN: 9783525550199 / Angielski / Miękka / 221 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. Feature film has done more than any other medium to shape the image of Martin Luther held by the common public in the 20th century. Luther films have always - apart from the very earliest - been ambitious undertakings, staffed by personnel that include leading representatives of theology and expert consultants in ecclesiastical history. Nonetheless, the Luther film has been largely bypassed by traditional Luther scholarship. The status of the historic figure as a national myth in Germany and a Church founder in America required a cinematic concept that was closely linked with theological...

Marks of an Absolute Witch : Evidentiary Dilemmas in Early Modern England
ISBN: 9780754669876 / Angielski / Twarda / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. This work explores the social foundation of evidence law in a specific historical social and cultural context - the debate concerning the proof of the crime of witchcraft in early modern England. In this period the question of how to prove the crime of witchcraft was the centre of a public debate and even those who strongly believed in the reality of witchcraft had considerable concerns regarding its proof. In a typical witchcraft crime there were no eyewitnesses, and since torture was not a standard measure in English criminal trials, confessions could not be easily obtained. The scarcity of...

Selling Science in the Age of Newton : Advertising and the Commoditization of Knowledge
ISBN: 9781409400752 / Angielski / Twarda / 218 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. Selling Science in the Age of Newton explores an often ignored avenue in the popularization of science. It is an investigation of how advertisements in London newspapers (from approximately 1687 to 1727) enticed consumers to purchase products relating to science: books, lecture series, and instruments. London's readers were among the first in Europe to be exposed to regular newspapers and the advertisements contained in them. This occurred just as science began to captivate the nation's imagination due, in part, to Isaac Newton's rising popularity following the publication of his Principia...
