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.

Colonialism, Slavery, Reparations and Trade: Remedying the Past Addresses how reparations might be obtained for the legacy of the Trans Atlantic slave trade. This collection lends weight to the argument that liability is not extinguished on the death of the plaintiffs or perpetrators. Arguing that the impact of the slave trade is continuing and therefore contemporary, it maintains that this trans-generational debt remains, and must be addressed. Bringing together leading scholars, practitioners, diplomats, and activists, Colonialism, Slavery, Reparations and Trade provides a powerful and...

Socjologia kultury
ISBN: 9788301151898 / Polski / Miękka ze skrzydełka / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Trudności określenia socjologii kultury wynikają przede wszystkim z niejednoznaczności samego pojęcia kultury, z jego szerokiego i niejednorodnego zakresu, ze szczególnego nasilenia postaw wartościujących odnoszących się do zjawisk objętych tym pojęciem oraz z różnorodności tych postaw. Wszystkie wymienione aspekty wymagają omówienia, które trudno jednak będzie opgraniczyć do jednego rozdziału i zamknąć w zwartym wywodzie. Interferują one bowiem wielokrotnie w różnych działach problematyki kultury ujmowanej z socjologicznego punktu widzenia, muszą więc być...
