The Crescent of Circumcision: A History of Beer, Boats and Taxation
ISBN: 9781523632282 / Angielski / Miękka / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This is a sample book, 4 chapters, looking for a publisher. Real history is about banal subjects: the preference for drinking beer over wine or water; the selection of a type of sail to escape the narrow channel of a wind-swept estuary; the adoption of a 10% tax, rather than a 1% or a 50% tax; and above all the circumcision of young, muscular men. Today's confrontation between circumcised Americans and circumcised Muslims on the Crescent that links San Diego to Bali is no accident, but the inevitable outcome or man's horrific battle with his hormones, and his destiny to dominate the globe....

Outlines of a Philosophy of the History of Man
ISBN: 9781518764332 / Angielski / Miękka / 558 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. "Everything that could blossom upon Earth has blossomed, each in its due season and its proper sphere; it has withered away and will blossom again when its time arrives." So says Herder of civilizations, using one of his favorite metaphors. His pre-Darwin Hegelian teleology sounds quaint at times, but at the same time allows him to hold some amazingly modern sentiments. For example, he repudiates slavery and the mistreatment of different races, and makes an appeal to understand them without filtering them through our own conceptual schemes; he realizes the genetic source of all changes and...
