The Uncertain Phoenix: Adventures Toward a Post-Cultural Sensibility
ISBN: 9780823210534 / Angielski / Twarda / 426 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Uncertain Phoenix is primarily an attempt at cultural self-understanding, based upon our Western experiences, and projected beyond them to the East. For, one of the ways in which Western society might develop is toward a style of creative experience reminiscent of Taoism in China, especially now that the strengths of Western philosophy have been fully extended, if not indeed exhausted. Certainly we are rapidly approaching the limits to our growth and our dominance over nature, society, and human life. In Dr. Hall's view, such control or dominance has been the governing factor in the...

Great Technology Transitions of Civilization
ISBN: 9781470002275 / Angielski / Miękka / 250 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. We are undergoing a period of rapid change in technology.

Another example is Microsoft Word which makes it possible to write this and other books I have published. Excel makes it possible to create sophisticated Options Trading Software without struggling to use program languages such as Basic. PowerPoint allows me to...

ISBN: 9781409426899 / Angielski / Twarda / 220 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In his examination of the excavation of ancient Assyria by Austen Henry Layard, Shawn Malley reveals how, by whom, and for what reasons the stones of Assyria were deployed during a brief but remarkably intense period of archaeological activity in the mid-nineteenth century. His book encompasses the archaeological practices and representations that originated in Layard's excavations, radiated outward by way of the British Museum and Layard's best-selling Nineveh and Its Remains (1849), and were then dispersed into the public domain of popular amusements. That the stones of Assyria resonated in...

The Problem with Multiculturalism: The Uniqueness and Universality of Western Civilization
ISBN: 9781412847629 / Angielski / Twarda / 122 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The horrors of the past century have done little to advance appreciation for the virtues of Western civilization. Criticism of the West has mounted and the West itself has lost sight of its uniqueness. Westerners tend to endow other societies with liberal philosophy and practices. While politically profitable, this fails to educate these societies about their own civilizations' contributions to the idea of a common humanity, human rights, and the legitimacy of dissent and diversity. John M. Headley argues for the West's uniqueness and universality, while critiquing multiculturalism's...

The Temple Scribe
ISBN: 9781470015183 / Angielski / Miękka / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. During Biblical and Prebiblical times, scribes were selected from good, educated families. Castration was part of the selection process, so not many people pursued this profession. Only ones with the love to write and knowledge of the great Books of Prophecies chose this pretigious position in the society. A few chose a darker side of the human life, trading in prostitution. Some built brothels near the temples and offered sex for a price, as a form of worship. Why in such an advanced civilization would they require such an initiation of their best educated and most respected? The answer is...

History of Civilization
ISBN: 9781477477090 / Angielski / Miękka / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Emile Manns Smyth took: HISTORY OF CIVILIZATION (HOC), a course offered at Occidental College, while earning her BA in Education. This course, which was a outstanding review of what happened during different time periods as civilization evolved was well remember by her and other OXY alumni who took the same course. Unfortunately, this course is no longer offered by OXY, so I felt it important to document the topics covered in this course, so future students will understand what they missed by not having such a course at OXY or other Universities around the world. Emilie hopes to give copies...

St. John and Christian Origins
ISBN: 9781479107865 / Angielski / Miękka / 116 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This enthralling and challenging work will cast doubt on practically every prevailing view of Christianity's origins, suggesting that even the most radical forms of Higher Criticism are grossly in error as to both historical timelines and sociological conditions prevailing during the 1st Century A.D. Of keen interest to all students of history, religion, and civilization; this thesis utilizes Greek, Roman, and Early Christian sources to present a portrait of the infant Church as an independent and unique social construct.
