[...] Debata o patriotyzmie toczy się wokół nas – w mediach, w sztuce, na ulicach i stadionach.

Popular Medicine in Graeco-Roman Antiquity: Explorations
ISBN: 9789004325586 / Starogrecki / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The history of healthcare in the classical world suffers from notable neglect in one crucial area. While scholars have intensively studied both the rationalistic medicine that is conveyed in the canonical texts and also the 'temple medicine' of Asclepius and other gods, they have largely neglected to study popular medicine in a systematic fashion. This volume, which for the most part is the fruit of a conference held at Columbia University in 2014, aims to help correct this imbalance. Using the full range of available evidence - archaeological, epigraphical and papyrological, as well as the...

ISBN: 9780500293300 / Angielski / Miękka / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. About eighty million people today can trace their descent back to the occupants of Ireland.

This is the first major attempt to deal with the core issues of how the Irish came into being. J. P.

Beginning with the collision that fused the two... About eighty million people today can trace their descent back to the occupants of Ireland.
